The Demon To Appear at the National 7/24th-26th

The Demon wrestler WCW/XWF was created by KISS bassist Gene Simmons. The Demon wrestled for Ted Turner's WCW, World Championship Wrestling, and now wrestlers all over the world. The Demon looks forward to conquering Japan. The Demon in real life is actually Dale Torborg, son of former Major League Baseball player, coach, and manager, Jeff Torborg. Along with wrestling, Dale has been the strength coach for the Montreal Expos as well as the Florida Marlins the last few years. Dale, a Northwestern Graduate, had his pro baseball career, Yankees/Mets, cut short with a 90 mph fastball to the face. Dale is one of the few athletes that is a two sport star. Dale will appear at various times throughout the weekend. For more information on the event go to:

Dale is also working on some wrestling things overseas. He told me he would give us and update once everything was finalized.

Launch of NEW Official Eric Singer Website

Over the past few months I have been redoing Eric Singer's Official website. The new site includes a lot of the things that were present at the old site, plus a lot of the things I knew fans of Eric Singer would want to see.

The new Equipment section was totally redone by Drumboo from eric-singer.de. He has done a fantastic job of getting all of the straight dope on all of Eric's gear. Ken Rodenas also did his magic to get the skinny on all the past drumsticks and guitar picks Eric has used or given out. Thanks guys.

I'm sure as the site continues to move on I will get several submissions from you the fans that can be used in the Images section. I still have a lot of these to move over from the old site also, so keep checking this area.

Of course as you know with Eric, the Discography section is always growing. In fact, so quick I can hardly keep up. He is always in the studio or on the road it seems. Most recently with Alice Cooper and Montross.

The Tour Dates section contains all the current and upcoming shows with Alice Cooper. I will do everything possible to make sure to keep this section updated so Eric's fans can find him anytime he is out on tour or at an Expo.

Features include several past articles about Eric's career, KISS Expo reviews, show reviews and much more to come.

Although the Merchandise section is pretty empty at this point, I hope to have a lot more items added over the next couple months, with some very big surprises so keep checking in on this section of the site.

If you have an Eric Singer related site, please let me know I would love to exchange links with you.

Don't forget to join The Official Eric Singer Yahoo Group for discussions with other fans.

I hope you enjoy the NEW Official Eric Singer website. There are still a lot of things to integrate from the old site, but I wanted to get this site open so you can start to enjoy it and keep informed about everything Eric. Hopefully I will be able to bring you the behind the scenes access type things you don't normally get to see from one of the greatest rock drummers ever.

Special thanks to Eric Singer for his support in allowing me to take over the site so fans can keep updated with Eric's extensive music career. If you haven't seen Eric live in any band you are definitely missing out. He is an unbelieveable drummer. Also thanks to Keith Leroux, who tricked me into taking on another website. :)

Thanks to everyone that has submitted things for the site. I'm sure I am forgetting some people. Thanks to Kai Roen for all of the information he had on the old Official Eric Singer site. He did a fantastic job with the old site.

Don't hesitate to send your stories, images, etc. to: sstierwalt@kissfreaks.com Of course if you have any comments or suggestions send those in also. I know I can't please everyone, but majority does rule and this is your site so let's hear it. Make sure you join the Email List for the quickest info and special exclusive offers before they go live on the site.

Enjoy what we have so far!
