Kreature of the Month - September, 2003
Andrew Sgambati - Howell, NJ
|
1) Tell us your name & age, where you're from, and what you do for a living. |
|
My name is Andrew Sgambati. I'm 18 years old, drummer extraordinaire, and from Howell, New Jersey. At the moment, I work full time at a video store.
|
|
2) Tell us when & how you first became a KISS fan. |
|
I was around 3 years old and my sister showed me "KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park." I thought it was THE coolest thing - rock group & super heroes all in one! Been hooked since then!
|
|
3) Describe the first KISS concert you attended. |
|
First KISS show was New Year's Eve 1996-97. I got my ticket the day prior to the show and was so psyched to see KISS. The seats weren't that great, but it didn't matter - I was seeing KISS, and I was in heaven!!!
|
|
4) How many times have you seen KISS live, and what is the farthest you have traveled to see them play? |
|
I've seen kiss 5 times. I don't usually travel to see the band, but the farthest I have traveled was to Madison Square Garden in NYC.
|
|
5) What KISS member do you best identify with? |
|
I would say Eric Carr. I'm very sly and cunning... a fox-like person, and very soft spoken. Also those who know me know that I stomp heads on drums.
|
|
6) What does KISS mean to you? |
|
KISS means everything to me. I live, eat, and breathe KISS - not a day goes by without some type of KISS past time.
|
|
7) Most KISS fans – at some point in their lives – have had to defend their allegiance to the band. Tell us about your most memorable experience. |
|
Going to school and being a KISS fan was not very pleasant. I'd have to tell people off daily! The most memorable time was probably once when I was reading one of my many KISS books, and some punk kid decided he was going to rip a page out of it. That didn't sit well with me. I literally got up and threw my chair at him, costing me 2 weeks suspension - all worth it.
|
|
8) List your favorite – and least favorite - song by each member of KISS and why: |
|
* Paul Stanley – favorite: I Stole Your Love. * Paul Stanley – least favorite: My Way. * Gene Simmons – favorite: Calling Dr. Love. * Gene Simmons – least favorite: When You Wish Upon a Star. * Ace Frehley – favorite: New York Groove. * Ace Frehley – least favorite: Can't think of one... * Peter Criss – favorite: Hooligan. * Peter Criss – least favorite: The entire solo album.
|
|
9) What is the best KISS song to “knock your platform boots” to? |
|
Oh boy... too many to name!
|
|
10) What is your most prized KISS possession? My most prized possession would have to be my KISS LP signed by Ace, Peter, Paul, Gene, and Bill Aucoin - all signatures were obtained by me over 3 years.
|
|
11) Word association – tell us the first thing that comes to mind for the following: |
|
* I'm
18: Legal for some things - illegal for
others. Girls, watch out! Haha...
|
|
12) Rate the following KISS albums on a scale from 1 to 10 . . . 1 never should have been released, 10 is a KISS classic: |
|
*
KISS: 9
|
|
13) Time for KISS Jeopardy. Answer: Gene’s tongue. What is the question? |
|
Gene was pulled out by what appendage?
|
|
14) How do you feel about being selected as the Kreature of the Month? |
|
Great honor to be the Kreature of the Month - AND - the youngest Kreature so far!
|
|
15) If KISS was to read this, what one thing would you want to tell them? |
|
Thanks for giving me some great rock 'n roll, and the drive to play drums! |
