Yessssss. Doesn't look like a Dorian Gray picture in the attic of his home bore the brunt of his life with UFO. Phil Mogg was a heavy drinker, but it never got the best of him, except that he showed a mean streak drunk. He could (too hot to) handle it physically - Michael and Pete not so well. But Michael looks trim and healthy recently, Rudolf probably had him rehabbed again.

Gene Simmons with a black thunderbird:




Uwe's Edit: I love the way that song came about: Stanley played something to Simmons and Simmons jests that his buddy's songs "all sound like (apes Stanley's singing) Christine - Sixteen" hinting at Stanley's penchant for "happy chorusses". And Stanley says impressed "Christine - Sixteen, what a great line that is!"


Great find man! Just yesterday I was searching for a clip of robot-Gene playing the T-Bird from the Phantom of the Park flick. No luck...

Witnessed that on the Mechanix tour - didn't go back again...

  I saw them in Buffalo NY in '77, The Thunderbird was in a stand off to the side, it got no playing time.

Looks like a Dimarzio Model One in the neck position. He seemed to have those on everything for a while.

I felt sorry for that guy when I saw him. He seems cool enough but a new bass player in Concrete Blonde made about as much sense as the new crew member you saw beaming down to some planet with Captain Kirk on Star Trek; you knew they weren't going to last long!

Of course, when I saw this one it made more sense. Talk about a cool side job!

I saw Concrete Blonde on that tour (the Free album?) and I think the guy was playing a Stingray or a Pbass. He didn't last too long with the band. I think I remember reading that he always butted heads with the singer and it didn't sound like she had ever wanted to add another bassist in to the mix. It probably wouldn't have mattered who the bassist was. If she had felt that part of her job was taken away from her, she wouldn't have liked anyone in that position. They were (are?) a good band IMO.

I think so. From what I hear, Tom replaced it with your NR's Korina twin...

There may or may not be a Thunderbird in this clip, so you should watch it all the way to the end just in case
