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.
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.
@@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.
@@abrahamesparza01 But they also told the band not to talk or go to the press about the situation because it wouldn't look good on Pearl Jam's "Anti-Corporate" image 😂
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
“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.
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.
@@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 suing teenagers is the least-surprising thing I've ever read.

@crisrose521 no shit. That cease and desist comes before the lawsuit.
@@crisrose521 and what if I don't comply?
You bought the book? 😂
Facts.
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.
@Genious. No there aren't.
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"
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”
The most KISS thing ever!
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?
Birth Ritual. A masterpiece.
He's 61! Goals
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
😂
Jearl Pam
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!
Fun Fact, Matt Cameron played drums for one of Queens of the Stone Age’s first shows.

Should have named your cover band "smooch"
Or Peck?
That’s the most interesting story regarding Pearl Jam
Great story!
Pearl Jam RULES!!
KISS makes every story better 🤟💋
This was so funny! 😂
How sad is that? Great story.

We wont get into what the above mentioned was always looking out for.

If Howard stern interviewed Howie Mandel, could we even get them in the same building?
This is HILARIOUS
I needed that laugh tonight..hilarious.
Can’t believe he is 61 !!
Matt's Soft Baked Cookies are the best
Youngest looking 61 year old ever
Tim Mahoney! He's been shredding with 311 for 34 years. Cool connection.
If you have ever heard Simmons talk ... all he blathers on about is MONEY.
not at all surprised
He’s a greedy millionaire….
❤❤❤❤

Was it on KISS Commerative Limited Edition Stationary?
Hopefully he still has that letter.
We just called our band, KISS lol
Nothing against Matt, loved this band with Jack and Dave
Love Pearl Jam....I got a KISS connection too.
Great story, it only motived Matt to be better than his hero. He is now surpassed Kiss' drumming by light years. Well done Matt 😝
That’s a great life lesson for a young aspiring musician to learn. 😂
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
Can we see the letter? A fan wouldn't lose that.
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.

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
@@abrahamesparza01 But they also told the band not to talk or go to the press about the situation because it wouldn't look good on Pearl Jam's "Anti-Corporate" image 😂
where can we see the full interview? cant find it!!
Imagine feeling threatened by a 13 year old cover band
It's Stanley Bert Eisen and Chaim Witz we're talking about here.
Remember: Kiss is a Brand, not a Band.
Are those Yamaha cymbal stands?
Pearls
Where’s Jeff’s interview portion?
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
Should have changed the bands name to PISS and continued with the same show.
How many inches of glass is Howard behind?
Howard stern had turned into Howard Hughes’s with tds
“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.
Wow great story and reflects badly on KISS sadly
"Gene Simmons" himself reflects badly on Kiss.
Well, naturall Howard needs to calling Gene Simmons for a summit!
In all honesty, the solo from PJ Alive is just KISS She solo
100% chance that Gene Simmons wrote that C&D himself
Kiss are #1 money grubbers #2 entertainers
Oy vey dats antisemitic!
Gene and Paul are Shandas.
shylocks
Typical kiss. Low case intended.
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.
it's a tip of the hat knowing they consider you to be that good.
Not surprising. Probably Gene’s idea the prik
Not only that but the letter was CoD.
😂❤
Probably got the letter because they performed it better.
Given Stanley Bert Eisen's and Chaim Witz's ethnicity, this does not surprise me one bit.
Gene Simmons probably sent the C&D personally.
Lol call it "smooch"
I once spent a decade being drugged by an entire city. No sunlight for ten years.
Omg!😂

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.
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
Stanley could have asked them to change the band name when he met them but he was too cowardly, wanted to be the cool rock star
Shoulda told that story in '97 when somebody woulda gave a crap.
Abrruzzesse is better
This is why Kiss is fading into obscurity. Money over art every damn time.
lol
Cease and dekizz
🤟💋😆😆😆😆💋🤟
(KISS)
each side needs two more parentheses
HAAGH!!
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.
