I recieved a cease n desist email from Atlantic records for selling bootleg Zeppelin cds on ebay in the Limewire days I proudly framed it n hung ut next to my ebay sellers award ❤
Another story of Kiss being assholes...haha. Matt Cameron is the shit, one of the classiest drummers on the planet. Everything he plays is needed, no more/no less.
Matt’s Gluey Gorey Scorch Cretan’s is so damn good. And the double drum break down in the Melvin’s cover of Spoonman with Dale Crover is one of the best covers of the last decade
@@privacyrules Nothing slimy about enforcing a Trademark. This isn't difficult. Try doing the same thing by going out selling ice cream that you call Dairy Queen or Ben & Jerry's. Don't think for a minute that Pearl Jam wouldn't do the same thing.
“It goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: if you’re TRULY ‘big fans’ of KISS, you’ll cease AND desist with impersonating us, profit or lack thereof be damned.”-Gene, I would imagine.
You more than likely played better than the real KISS which is why you got the cease and desist. So ridiculous to send that to a bunch of 13 and 14 year olds. Gene Simmons probably shakes down all the lemonade stands in his neighborhood too.
@@thedude4672 the original members of Kiss had more balls and vision than anything going on in the 70’s. They gave people a show way before the memorabilia and merchandising.
KISS always makes sure they do not miss out on opportunities to protect their money and power. They have some good songs but what a bunch of greedy bastards.

KISS suing teenagers is the least-surprising thing I've ever read.
@@crisrose521which comes before the lawsuit
@crisrose521 no shit. That cease and desist comes before the lawsuit.
@@crisrose521 and what if I don't comply?
You bought the book? 😂
Knowing kiss that letter probably had advertising for their lunchbox and tshirts at the bottom.
😂
😂😂😂
I was gonna make a similar joke, but damn, you nailed it.
"You 14 year olds must cease and desist your act...but make sure you buy our lunchbox, only $8.99 while supplies last"
The most KISS thing ever!
Fn Matt Cameron! 🤘Unbelievable drummer. Imagine telling people “yea I’m a drummer in a few bands” ohhh what bands? “Pearl Jam and Soundgarden” 😂
Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and a Kiss cover band.
And temple of the dog 😎
He also was the drummer on Geddy Lee's solo album a while back.
@@blpptthat’s lit! I didn’t know that!
You forgot about “Kiss”
one of the greatest drummers ever. Love Matt, watching him made me become a drummer
Not even close.
@@alphanerd7221 that's your opinion, not mine. I think he is one of the greatest ever. We'll agree to disagree.
@@Keenan716 It's not a matter of opinion. I agree to nothing.
@@alphanerd7221two of the biggest bands at one time should give him some credit.
@@Keenan716 There are always people that will disagree just for the sake of disagreeing.
Matt’s work on Soundgarden’s SuperUnknown (best album of the 90’s) is phenomenal.
He would very much rather be playing in Soundgarden thats for sure
So true, one of the greatest albums of all time IMo
@@Grif921 Why do you say that?
I'm in a Pearl Jam cover band called....Pearl Jam. I probably shouldn't show them my photo album. Lesson learned 🤣
Pearl Preserves hosted by Schmuckers...it's gotta be good
Change it to Pearl Jams or some shit.
There was a cover band named Pearl Jamm. They got a letter
Pearl Jelly
😂
Fun Fact, Matt Cameron played drums for one of Queens of the Stone Age’s first shows.
Should have named your cover band "smooch"
Fun fact: Matt Cameron was in the soundtrack of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, as "Ronny Desmond" singing the song Puberty Love.
He was in it? good thing somebody let him out!
Great story!
KISS makes every story better 🤟💋
He's 61! Goals
That’s the most interesting story regarding Pearl Jam
This was so funny! 😂
I needed that laugh tonight..hilarious.
Pearl Jam RULES!!
This is HILARIOUS
How sad is that? Great story.
❤❤❤❤
where can we see the full interview? cant find it!!
Bill Acoin was always looking out for his clients
We wont get into what the above mentioned was always looking out for.

Love Pearl Jam....I got a KISS connection too.

We just called our band, KISS lol
Hopefully he still has that letter.
If Howard stern interviewed Howie Mandel, could we even get them in the same building?
Tim Mahoney! He's been shredding with 311 for 34 years. Cool connection.
Gene Simmons could sell ice to an Eskimo
Not really
He couldn't...but he'd try!
If you invite Gene Simmons over to your place he'll stick his hand down the back of your sofa cushions to look for loose change.
Eskimos would give him the boot 🤓
He's not half the businessman he makes himself out to be.
Tim Mahoney from 311 though? 👏🏻
Is it the same Tim Mahoney?
What about him? I must have missed it
Must be a coincidence. Tim is from Omaha.
I remember this story being told by Tim before I don't know Matt Cameron was their drummer
Pearl Jam's UK Representatives slapped a cease and desist order on the UK Pearl Jam tribute band.
Oh How The Tables Have Turned! 😅
They called themselves Pearl Jamm. So you can see why
😂❤
Great story, it only motived Matt to be better than his hero. He is now surpassed Kiss' drumming by light years. Well done Matt 😝
Can’t believe he is 61 !!
Where’s Jeff’s interview portion?
Abrruzzesse is better
Matt’s Gluey Gorey Scorch Cretan’s is so damn good. And the double drum break down in the Melvin’s cover of Spoonman with Dale Crover is one of the best covers of the last decade
Are those Yamaha cymbal stands?
Pearls
Omg!😂
Remember: Kiss is a Brand, not a Band.
Can we see the letter? A fan wouldn't lose that.
That’s a great life lesson for a young aspiring musician to learn. 😂
Well, naturall Howard needs to calling Gene Simmons for a summit!
If you have ever heard Simmons talk ... all he blathers on about is MONEY.
not at all surprised
He’s a greedy millionaire….
Imagine feeling threatened by a 13 year old cover band
It's Stanley Bert Eisen and Chaim Witz we're talking about here.
Once he explained why I was like "Yeah, that probably deserves it."
LOL as if anyone would mistake a kids band for the real deal
THEY. WERE. 14.
@@motley331 IT. DOESN'T. MATTER.
It was a slimy thing to do, but Kiss are no strangers to legal sliminess.
@@privacyrules Nothing slimy about enforcing a Trademark. This isn't difficult. Try doing the same thing by going out selling ice cream that you call Dairy Queen or Ben & Jerry's. Don't think for a minute that Pearl Jam wouldn't do the same thing.
Howard stern had turned into Howard Hughes’s with tds
Lol call it "smooch"
Gene Simmons makes DJT seem humble.
I've often said that Gene is the rock version of DJT, but Gene's a little smarter
@@thedude4672if you say so.
Not surprising. Probably Gene’s idea the prik
“It goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: if you’re TRULY ‘big fans’ of KISS, you’ll cease AND desist with impersonating us, profit or lack thereof be damned.”-Gene, I would imagine.
Should have changed the bands name to PISS and continued with the same show.
Typical kiss. Low case intended.
Not only that but the letter was CoD.
Gene and Paul are Shandas.
shylocks
Given Stanley Bert Eisen's and Chaim Witz's ethnicity, this does not surprise me one bit.
kiss
In all honesty, the solo from PJ Alive is just KISS She solo
Wow great story and reflects badly on KISS sadly
"Gene Simmons" himself reflects badly on Kiss.
How many inches of glass is Howard behind?
I once spent a decade being drugged by an entire city. No sunlight for ten years.
🤟💋😆😆😆😆💋🤟
Gene Simmons probably sent the C&D personally.
Is there a worse more famous band than KISS?
Marilyn Manson maybe?
@@thedude4672yup
Limp bisket or however you spell it.
Both solid answers
100% agreed.
Probably got the letter because they performed it better.
it's a tip of the hat knowing they consider you to be that good.
lol
You more than likely played better than the real KISS which is why you got the cease and desist. So ridiculous to send that to a bunch of 13 and 14 year olds. Gene Simmons probably shakes down all the lemonade stands in his neighborhood too.
When Kiss became a business and no longer a band.
*Kiss is and always will be a bubblegum band designed to make $$$ first and good music somewhere down the priority list.*
I think they were always more of a marketing stunt than a rock band, but it worked for them
@@thedude4672 the original members of Kiss had more balls and vision than anything going on in the 70’s. They gave people a show way before the memorabilia and merchandising.
@@kennytesta9312a show?! Yup, exactly! Kiss is about a show only, the music is sub par at best. They have always had to rely on theatrics.
@@birdy1numnum I don’t think that’s the case at all, and I’m not even a fan lol
HAAGH!!
(KISS)
each side needs two more parentheses
Kiss are #1 money grubbers #2 entertainers
Oy vey dats antisemitic!
Shoulda told that story in '97 when somebody woulda gave a crap.
KISS always makes sure they do not miss out on opportunities to protect their money and power. They have some good songs but what a bunch of greedy bastards.
Typical tribesmen.
That's an unfriendly way to talk about Stanley Bert Eisen and Chaim Witz!
Gene and Paul are my least favorite members.
My favorites were booted years ago. Ace and Peter made Kiss likable.
@@KurtI2525
Onstage, yes. Offstage, they were insufferable.
