Does anyone > know what happened to him since he left the band? ]I've been wondering this myself. All I heard was that he was involved in a ]serious auto accident, and was replaced on their '81 tour by Vinnie Vincent, ]who has since been replaced by Mark St. John. I guess either he was unable to ]play anymore, or just decided it would be a good time to leave the band and ]keep his anonimity. Mark St. John has since been replaced with Bruce Kublick (from Paul's solo album) after Mark had a severe reoccurence of Reiter's syndrome. (a form of arthritis). ]BTW, has anyone else heard that KISS is an acronym for "Knights In Satan's ]Service"? You can thank the National Equirer for that fantastic piece of investigative reporting. Ace, by the way, is making a comeback, with a band know as _Frehley's Comets_ Looks for an album to be released any day now. Sam
