I missed the first half. It just seems like someone has watched School Of Rock, and thought, hey we could actually do that. It does look to be a fun show though, so I will continue to watch.

I was going to tune in for a few minutes, but Australian Idol ran over time as usual and then I thought I didn't need to watch Simmons making an even bigger twat of himself than he has already

He is pretty cool.I like how Gene picked him.I think he also did it as a way of the kid to be seen as anything other than the geek and outcast he is seen as now.

Missed the first epsoide, saw it this week, gee one of those kids is a musical genuis Drums and Guitar... he got the Druming spot. good to see that young lass got the lead Guitar though.
Although they stated that Kiss wrote "God gave Rock'n Roll to you" which Mr Simmons performed at the School mass, I thought it was written by Rod Argent of a 70's 80's band ARGENT.
Trixx your're the resident Kiss expert plaese clarify...

It was in fact written by Russ Ballard, who was a member of the band Argent.
Paul, Gene and Bob Ezrin re-arranged the song before recording it for the Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey soundtrack in 1991. Eric Carr sang backup vocals on it and appeared in the video (his last performance) but Eric Singer played drums.
Oh, and the original song blows goats compared with the KISS version, but anyone with half an ear can tell that...

Thanks Wrathy for clearing that up...Never heard the Orginal but sounds like I aint missing anything
Yeah the writing credits go to Stanley, Simmons, Ezrin & Ballard because although it was originally a song by Argent, they COMPLETELY changed and reworked it. It's pretty much a completely different song with the same chorus... Also why they titled it "God Gave Rock & Roll To You II", it's more a sequel than a remake haha! So it's pretty fair to say that KISS wrote God Gave Rock & Roll To You II...

Yes he did and yes it is. He also wrote Since You've Been Gone, New York Groove and Into The Night.

I was going to watch it, but didn't know what time it was on.
Next week perhaps.

I Surrender.... as in the Rainbow song?
Eyes of the World is a pretty underrated Rainbow album.
Not quite as good as the Dio ones, but waaaay better than the Joe Lynn Turner ones

Very cynical
Gene Simmons acts and talks like a bit of a toss in that show. But then again, it is reality TV so I guess that's what he's like in real life
