CELTIC FROST ”TO MEGA THERION” PHOTO SESSION
Shortly before driving to what was then West Berlin to enter Casablanca Recording Studio and commence the To Mega Therion recording sessions, Celtic Frost gathered at photographer Ernst Wirz's photo studio on Forchstrasse in Zurich, Switzerland, to conduct the photo session that was to yield the images that would appear on the album.
Wirz, an accomplished Jazz musician in his own right, was a fashion photographer and part of Reed's circle of friends. His To Mega Therion photo session was easily the most ambitious the band had ever undertaken.
The photos posted here are previously unreleased outtakes from the hundreds of negatives of this photo session. They show the band with short-time bassist Dominic Steiner, who was with Celtic Frost for the duration of the album recording sessions.

KISS AT THE TOM SNYDER SHOW (1979) ACE FREHLEY’S BEST INTERVIEW
On October 31, 1979 Kiss was on the Tom Snyder Show, an appearance that would become the most legendary of all their interviews. Mainly because Ace is drunk as f**k and Gene and Paul are visibly pissed off at him.
Kiss's appearance on The Tomorrow Show was timed for Halloween, for obvious reasons. Snyder was providing the four members — Ace, Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and Peter Criss — a chance to discuss their rise and worldwide success. But while Simmons and Stanley were keen to follow the script, it was clear almost from the beginning that Ace was going off the rails, making wisecracks and telling jokes, often at the band's expense.
“I was nervous as hell,” he explains. “I think I drank half a pint of vodka, and then I did some blow to wake up.”
That sounds like a lot of drugs, but for Frehley it was business as usual. “Yeah… it was crazy,” he shrugs. “But I was crazy back then. Anything went when I was in my 20s. I mean… everybody was doing that shit.”
“Paul and Gene would try to compete with me but always fail,” he says. “If you look at the old interviews, even when I was loaded and buzzed, once I got into the groove, you couldn’t top me. Gene would try and throw a line in there. I remember Gene tried to tell a joke to Tom Snyder, but he got completely ignored.”
With Frehley doing everything from drunkenly howling to playing with teddy bears and making a lewd joke about being a plumber, one can understand why Snyder fixated on him.
“The plumber thing came completely out of the blue,” he says. “I didn’t plan that; it’s just a line that I came up with. Why this shit flies into my head… I have no idea. It’s probably all the substances I was doing.”
He laughs, but he’s serious. Funny as Frehley’s antics were, it was apparent that Simmons and Stanley weren’t pleased with their lead guitarist's behavior. “Kiss had a weird chemistry back then,” Frehley says. “We had a weird dynamic, which is one of the reasons that group worked.”
Still, Frehley asserts that Kiss thrived on that sort of push/pull. “The four of us were different,” he explains. “Somehow, someway, we got together. That energy… sometimes we’d argue, but when we got together, most of the time, it worked.”
What’s more, Frehley offers a counterpoint to the long-running theory that Simmons and Stanley were furious over his behavior on Snyder's program. “I watched it about six months ago,” he says. “I noticed that toward the end of the video, Paul and Gene were put off by me going off on crazy tangents, but at the end they started joining in with my insanity.”
“It might have been because they couldn’t win,” he adds, with a laugh. “Tom was in love with me. He was so surprised that I was such a maniac and a funny guy. The only way for Gene and Paul to win was to be as zany and nutty as I was; it helped. But earlier in the interview, yeah… they were resistant. It looked awkward.”

WHITESNAKE ”CITY HALL, NEWCASTLE, ENGLAND” (OCTOBER 26, 1978) [AUDIO+TICKET+EYE WITNESS]
David Coverdale embarked on a solo career in 1977 after the split of Deep Purple. His first solo album “White Snake” was released in February 1977. All the songs were written by David Coverdale and Micky Moody, who was also guitarist in David’s band. The album wasn’t particularly successful, but its title inspired the name of Coverdale’s future band, which was to come together one year later. In early 1978 Coverdale released his second solo album “Northwinds”. The band which was to be Whitesnake was already coming together. In June 1978 the “Snakebite” EP was released, which contained the Whitesnake favourite, their cover of Bobby Bland’s “Ain’t No Love in the Heart of the City”.
Coverdale: “Originally I had no plans to actually record ‘Ain’t No Love in the Heart of the City’… if you can believe it…a song that connects so deeply with so many that I still play it today, 25 years later.”

EYE WITNESS:
Courtesy of Vintagerock’s Weblog: I first saw Whitesnake at Newcastle City Hall in October 1978. They had just released the “Trouble” album, and this was the first night of their first major tour of UK concert halls. The line-up was David Coverdale (vocals), Micky Moody (guitar), Bernie Marsden (guitar), Neil Murray (bass), Jon Lord (keyboards) and Dave Dowle (drums). Jon Lord had just joined. From the program: “David Coverdale and Whitesnake – two names that have imprinted themselves on the British Rock media and the public in the last nine months….David Coverdale and Whitesnake left audiences and industry aware that a brilliant, yet deeply experienced new force had arrived on the rock scene.”
Whitesnake were heavy but soulful. Much more bluesy than Purple, but also heavier. Coverdale had an incredible voice; one minute he could be singing the most soulful gentle blues, and then he would thrust his head back, that mane of hair would sway behind him, and he would bellow and scream some of the rockiest songs to be heard on a concert stage anywhere. And with Jon Lord in the band, you knew that they had to play some Purple songs. Their versions of “Might Just Take Your Life” and “Mistreated” were pure class. “Mistreated” in particular was a tour de force for Whitesnake; particularly because of Coverdale’s amazing vocal performances of the song. But Whitesnake wasn’t just the David Coverdale show; this was a strong rock band with two excellent guitarists who both understood, and could play, the blues, and in Jon Lord the greatest exponent of the Hammond organ.
Phil Sutcliffe, reveiwing the concert is Sounds (11 November 1978): ‘Mistreated’: the most astonishing first line I’ve ever heard is Coverdale gathering into that bellow of “I’ve been Mistreated”: the sort of passion that whitesnakeredcarmitch78enabled Samson to pull down the Philistine temple; the song is magnificent and raw, an insight like an old roaster’s painting of a butcher’s shop, life as red meat; at the end Coverdale throws his head back and howls like a wolf and we roar at him; “You like the blues? Of course you f***ing do – all northerners like the blues and don’t we know it”. Whitesnake were incredible that night, and the Newcastle heavy rock brigade now had a new band to worship alongside Rainbow and Gillan.

EDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Dave Lombardo's memories of arriving in Toronto – Camaros aren’t very roomy and with four grown men travelling across country, it wasn’t very glamorous. It was brutal but it wasn’t going to break us – our passion for the music was so strong. We were all looking forward to playing in Canada and were surprised by how well Toronto went. Many more heads in the audience than there were in Winnipeg. That made an impact on us. We got to Toronto the day before the show. The promoter (GARY TOPP:) offered us drinks on the house. I got annihilated. After walking around the streets for a bit I went back to the club to use the restroom. I passed out on the toilet. After a while Jeff went looking, he found me in there and dragged me out. When I came around, my first question was “were my pants up?” Later that night, I passed out again with my leather jacket on and in my pockets were pancakes when I woke up. They had put a stack of pancakes under my head like little pillows too. Probably the most cushion I’d slept on in a while, and finding pancakes when you wake up hungry, it’s like, sure, I’ll take it. It was one of those moments you never forget.
