Around 1970 Gene Simmons (bass/vocals) and Paul Stanley (vocals/rhythm
guitar) - who had been playing together since the late sixties - formed a
band called Rainbow, but the band fell apart before they could record an
album. With their next band, a 5-piece group called Wicked Lester, they
recorded an album in 1972 that however never was officially released as
nobody thought it was any good. The album got shelved, and Gene and Paul
fired the other three musicians and started looking for new musicians. They
saw an advert in Rolling Stone magazine by a drummer "willing to do anything
to make it". A little later Peter Criss
joined the duo. They rehearsed for a few months, but Peter didn't see
any improvements and fell back in his old habit: drugs, trying to escape
from the world around him. At a certain point they came to the conclusion
that the thing that was lacking, was a lead guitarist. An advert was placed
in the Village Voice, in which they said they were looking for
a guitar player with flash and also claimed they had a recording deal.
Out of the many guitarists that auditioned, Ace Frehley
was chosen after Peter who really digged Ace from the moment he
walked in had been pushing for him. Ace, looking for a band doing
original material and also in need of a job, joined the band somewhere
in October of 1972.
It
was a time when New York City was the place to be, and the glam rock
(or shock rock as some people called it) scene was at its peak. British
acts such as David Bowie, T-Rex, Slade and The Sweet were the kings of
the genre, while in New York bands like the New York Dolls, the Harlots
of 42nd Street, Ruby And The Rednecks and Luger were trying to do the
same. In only a few weeks Gene and Paul came up with enough songs to
perform live. The foursome wanted to be the band that they had never
seen, combining heavy rock and theatrics. They decided to wear make-up,
extravagant costumes and high heel boots. So they experimented with
paint on their faces, and were tossing around ideas for the live show
as well as a name for the band. Because they played original material
(and they played it loud!) and looked so weird no club was interested
in booking them. Therefore they had to hire ballrooms themselves to
play live. They set up a packages including two other bands (local
bands that already had a following, so at least there would be fans of
those bands showing up they thought that stealing the audience
from those bands would be the fastest way to build their own
following). Then they would take care of the promotion themselves as
well, but made absolutely sure nobody would find out that they hung up
the posters themselves.

Neen, uw blog moet niet dagelijks worden bijgewerkt. Het is gewoon zoals je het zélf wenst. Indien je geen tijd hebt om dit dagelijks te doen, maar bvb. enkele keren per week, is dit ook goed. Het is op jouw eigen tempo, met andere woorden: vele keren per dag mag dus ook zeker en vast, 1 keer per week ook.
Er hangt geen echte verplichting aan de regelmaat. Enkel is het zo hoe regelmatiger je het blog bijwerkt, hoe meer je bezoekers zullen terugkomen en hoe meer bezoekers je krijgt uiteraard.
Het maken van een blog en het onderhouden is eenvoudig. Hier wordt uitgelegd hoe u dit dient te doen.
