Kiss Expo

Richie Ranno' ("Starz") Kiss Expo worked out well for Cooper's Michael and Neal, as well as perennial breakout sideman Richie Scarlet ("Sebastian Bach", "Ace Frehley", "Leslie West"). Richie is the bomb at Kiss shows like this, and lines went around the whole place to buy autographed copies of his new CD "Out Of My Past". Said CD is currently available by clicking here. Michael and Neal sold everything from books to drum sticks, and the Kiss crowd treated them like the royalty there are. Michael later mentioned to Richie Ranno how much he really appreciated the crossover loyalty between Kiss fans for their Cooper cousins. Also, the fans certainly appreciated being able to catch Michael, Neal, Richie, and Dee Snider all in one place! Later, the Michael Bruce Group performed what turned out to be almost a full set for the Expo crowd, to thunderous applause. Toward the end, Richie Scarlet joined Michael for a really smokin' version of School's Out. Plan on seeing them again next year, God and Richie Ranno willing. Thanks Richie, for the opportunity to see how loved the Coopers really are by the Kiss crowd. The feeling is mutual!
