One of the interviews Backstageaxxess.com set up while at NAMM 2011 was with Kiss guitarist and all around nice guy Tommy Thayer. Tommy was there to sign autographs and pose for pictures on behalf of his guitar amp company Hughes and Kettner. The Duotone amp is eye catching. It’s lit up with an indigo blue that reflects Tommy’s signature. The best part about the amp is that Tommy’s royalty payments from the sales of his signature amp go directly to the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. After we talked about the amp, we dove into the state of Kiss. Will there be a new Kiss album? Will there be a tour in support of it? Tommy answers these questions and more. Let’s see if lightening really does strike twice…
We would like to thank Paul Airey from Hughes and Kettner for setting up the interview. For more information on this amp, please go to: http://www.hughes-and-kettner.com/.
