{Intro} Alex and Ms.Rocker conducted this interview per email.
Ms.Rocker: Hello Alex! I am very honored that you have accepted my
invitation to be a "Featured KISS Fan" for my KISS fan site here at CosmicGarden.Tripod.Com.
Alex: YOUR WELCOME, THANK YOU :) COS' YOU GIVE ME THIS OCCASION TO
COMMUNICATE WITH "KISS" AMERICAN FANS, I SAY HELLO TO ALL!!!!
Ms.Rocker: Ok, lets get started, here are some of my questions, I
am curious to ask you. What was your first true moment....that you recall seeing "KISS" for the first time? Were
you, with a friend or family member? And what year did this event take place?
Alex: WELL, I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN ITALY, WHEN I WAS 14 YRS. OLD, I
WAS WITH MY BEST FRIEND STEFANO (NOW HE'S A GREAT RAMMSTEIN'S FAN) WE BOTH WERE INTO THE MOST POPULAR MUSIC STORE IN
MILANO, ITALY AND HE TOLD ME "HEY LOOK" THIS ALBUM COVER IS SO KEWL! IT WAS CALLED "DYNASTY" SO, I BOUGHT
IT. THIS WAS MY FIRST HEAVY METAL ALBUM AND MY FIRST "KISS" ALBUM.
YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE ME....BUT, AFTER FIRST HEARING THIS MUSIC, I DIDN'T LIKE IT.....BUT DURING
1979, THE SONG, "I WAS MADE FOR LOVING YOU" WAS A BIG HIT IN ITALY AND I WAS HEARING IT BEING PLAYED OVER AND OVER.... SO,
DURING THAT SUMMER, I BOUGHT ALL THE ALBUMS OF KISS!!! THEY BECAME MY FAVE BAND AND MY LOVE REMAINS THE SAME TODAY!
I WILL ALWAYS BE A FAN, YOU KNOW :)
Ms.Rocker: How did you decide or how did you select your favorite
KISS member? Was it The Demon spitting out blood? Or was it Ace with his flaming guitar during the KISS preformance?
Alex: MY FAVE MEMBERS ARE PAUL STANLEY AND ACE FREHLEY.
PAUL THE BEST ROCKER EVER TO ME, HE'S MY IDOL. I LOVE HIS MUSIC, HIS MAKE-UP, HIS LIVE
PERFORMANCES. PAUL STANLEY IS "KISS!"
AS FOR ACE, I THINK HIS SOUND IS PERFECT FOR KISS, HIS LEADS ARE JUST RIGHT FOR KISS SONGS.
I LOVE TO SEE ACE IN ACTION ON STAGE HE'S THE ONLY ONE FOR ME (I ALWAYS LOVED ACE FREHLEY'S COSTUMES TOO)
MsRocker: I would also, like to Post and perhaps do some altering
with some animation, of your photo(s) that I had seen at KISS FORUM, located at: http://kissnews.de/NewsUSA.htm I added the site address incase anyone would like to check out the amazing site along with joining in with the KISS
FORUM and if you like you may leave a message to Alex under his Forum Name: "ROER"
Alex: SURE OK, THANK YOU MS.ROCKER :-)
Ms.Rocker: So Alex, can you tell us about this amazing
photos of you, lookin just like Ace....how were you feeling when this photo was being taken? Who took the photos and
if you can share any other information about this day.....
Alex: I WAS VERY YOUNG AND FOR ME, IT HAS BEEN VERY EXCITING TO DRESS
UP IN HANDMADE KISS OUTFITS AND TO PERSONIFY ONE OF MY IDOL'S.
IT HAS BEEN GREAT FUN TO PAINT MY FACE WITH ACE'S MAKE-UP! I WAS DREAMING, I WAS BACKSTAGE WITH KISS! AS FOR THE
PHOTOS OF ACE AND GENE, I WAS WITH STEPANO MY FRIEND WHO HAS ON (GENE'S MAKE-UP ON) I WAS AT MY HOME AND MY FATHER TOOK THIS
"PHOTO-SESSION" IM GLAD YOU LIKED THE PHOTOS YOU SAW AT THE KISS FORUM... I CONFESS, I'M PROUD OF THOSES PHOTOS! :-)
