DAVE NAVARRO On Spread Entertainment TV - " GENE SIMMONS Was, As Always, The Perfect Guest"
August 25, 2007, 17 years ago
THE PANIC CHANNEL guitarist Dave Navarro has issued the following recap of the latest installment of his ongoing Spread Entertainment TV series, which featured comedian Margaret Cho and KISS legend Gene Simmons as guests:
"Last night's Spread Entertainment had to be one of my favorites so far. Margaret Cho was amazingly friendly and funny as hell. She was so open and up front about her thoughts, beliefs and ways of life with a continual injection of her own brand of comedy. Gene was, as always, the perfect guest. As an interviewer, I really didn't have to do much with him. I kind of just said welcome to the show and let him go. He had so much to say about the state of the music business and rock in general. The guy does so much that a Kiss recap felt unnecessary. The real heat was turned up when his partner Shannon Tweed came on stage and pretty much took over. It was a lot of fun to witness their dynamic first hand and get into some relationship issues. Plus, rarely do we see Gene get 'shut down' so hard. Of course, it was all in fun and I felt really inspired about long lasting relationships as a result of their appearance. They really seemed like best friends and always knew what each other was about to say before they said it.Overall, last night's show had a relationship thread running through it. Even though Margaret Cho and Gene Simmons are worlds apart, they both shared their unique brands of what works for them and even commented on one another's view points. As it turns out, I am more old fashioned than either of them, but that was all part of the fun of live discussion.
Next week we have Wes Borland coming down from LIMP BIZKIT and most currently from BLACK LIGHT BURNS. Wes is a super interesting and talented artist and will hopefully be bringing down some of his paintings for us."
