BUZZ - it was Gene Simmons. (He produced the album... and Ace Frehley, Paul Stanley, and Eric Carr all made guest appearances on it. That album is more like a lost '80s KISS record with Wendy O. as a guest vocalist.)

Which guitar hero played on Johnny Rotten's Public Image LTD's album titled 'Album' ( also titled 'Cassette and CD depending on the format you bought this on)?

Steve Vai?

Yep, the album also features Ginger Baker and Tony Williams on drums, Shakar on violin and Bernie Warrell on organ among other musicians.

I am guessing Howard Stern and he is the cousin of Eric Bloom, is that the right answer?

You are correct. Howard was a cousin to Eric Bloom through marriage, not a blood relative.

Here's a easy one... Who is Simon Dawg on the last Vengeance Rising disc?

George Ochoa or Jimmy Brown, I could never get that right....
