News From The Road

Until last night.

Joe Perry joined the masked men from the Big Apple for the KISS klassic "Strutter."

Joe has been itching to do this for some time now, especially since being told by Paul Stanley a few months ago that many musicians (the likes of Sir Elton John) have asked to jam with them; but they never felt it was the right thing to do, until now.

One of Joe's favorite KISS songs is "Strutter." It was the first song he heard by them when their debut album came out in 1974. He went out to dinner with their lead guitarist Tommy Thayer on Friday in Chicago.

After dinner they hung out in Joe's room with a couple of small amps and some guitars and just jammed on the song for about an hour.



Joe's biggest concern however wasn't getting the song right it was if he would be able to maneuver in Paul's boots. As the sold out crowd at the Ford Center in Oklahoma City could see he passed with flying colors. Country Music star Toby Keith was in attendance and was quite impressed by this historic feat.
