It's not "revisionism" because this is the same reason that was given in 1998 for Bob being unable to produce the album. The fact that you're going to cling to this reasoning because you "think" you read it somewhere almost 20 years ago, well then the onus is on you to come up with the proof. Just because you say so, doesn't make it true. Corroborating evidence is required. And to say Bob Ezrin turned down a project from KISS because the songwriting wasn't good is a somewhat silly and unbelievable premise anyhow.Dannorama wrote:it was put out there that Bob refused to work with KISS [/b]based on the weak material for Psycho Circus...
Here's how he tells it these days... [/i] That's revisionism. It's a popular way to unsay what has been said previously. For what it's worth, I read the original culmination in a magazine, which is why it has stuck with me for all of these years. Maybe THEY were wrong, but not me. ...NOT ME, DAMMIT!
Wikipedia is not a source, I can go in and change that in 5 minutes to say the opposite. Regardless, by every measure, working on a remix does not count the same as recording a totally new album of new material which was the context of what we were discussing. Yes, he worked with them in some capacity, but it doesn't count the same.Dannorama wrote:
As far as Resurrected goes, I agree with you. However, Wikipdeia (my source) lists it as a full production. That made me think about it, and I can see their point. He tweaked and remixed every instrument and track, and then he put it all together again. There is only one difference that is apparent, and that is the capturing of the original sound in a studio - which was impossible at that point. He used the old raw tape, and he produced a wholly new album.
In related news, Bob Ezrin detailed in a pretty recent interview that he's no longer on speaking terms with Paul Stanley. He stated he's sad about it, but that Paul harbors resentment towards Bob over some comments he made about the "Music From The Elder" album that were supposed to be off the record and Paul took offense to them.
