CHUCK DULA: KISS TRIBUTE TONIGHT AT HELL'S KITCHEN >>>

Gods of Thunder make a living pretending to be KISS. They wear all of the appropriate makeup, play all of the appropriate riffs, and make all of the inappropriate jokes. I wonder if they even have a Vinnie Vincent look-a-like that stands in for the drunken Frehley look-a-like three fourths of the way through the show? Will they play any of the songs from the album Dynasty in which Anton Fry, a session drummer, played all of the drum tracks for a violently inadequate Peter Criss? Is their tour bus lined with posters of other tribute bands like Rain, KISSexy (a five-piece all-female KISS tribute band), or the only band that makes it hard for me to hold food down â€" KRY? You won’t know unless you go see them tonight at Hell's Kitchen.
