      It's not only because of substances. Vocal abilities are also genetically predisposed. When Maria Callas (La Primadonna Assoluta) lost her voice it was also because of a genetic disease. She died at the age of 53.

Ozzy, Slash... Michael Schenker. He earned it, though. X factor, secret sauce, determination...

    Tommy Thayer has kind of a Joe Perry look to him... loved Black & Blue first albums, they were really excellent, both melodic and powerful. They started to lose their way once Simmons produced them (lol). But the real thing would be to see this song feat. Ace on lead guitar.... which should happen in the future since Gene and Ace have remained pretty close and Gene is probably Ace's biggest fan. Btw, for those who still don't know it, this is an early Kiss Frehley composition.

    Too bad it wasn't the End of The Road for Gene ever performing again.
    I started hating Kiss when Peter & Ace left the band.
    Peter was THE BEST SINGER , Ace was the best musician who should've had more say in the band.
    ( After Ace's Kiss solo album, I knew it was time for him leave the group anyway. )
    Paul the poser & Gene the egotistical idiot destroyed a band that could've been the best.
    ( selling dolls , toys , & trinkets , ISN'T ROCK AND ROLL !!! )
    Kiss were NEVER the Greatest, they only had a great show.
    " Alive " is the only album I can listen to & of course
