Kasim Sulton in Print
12.15 - Kasim Sulton receives a mention on page 719 of The All Music Guide To Rock book in a review of the 1995 Meat Loaf release Welcome To The Neighborhood. The section says:
"Meat Loaf, as usual, sang as though his life depended on it, while a band that was less distinctive than it should have been given such notable participants as Kenny Aronoff and Kasim Sulton churned out sub-metal riffs. The resulting sales fall-off was not as great as it had been before, but it remained true that Meat without Steinman was only half a loaf."
This book can be purchased from Amazon.com here for $19.77 (plus shipping). (KasimInfo.com makes no profit from this link.)

Kasim started October 2005 in Kansas City, MO after playing the final concert of the Meat Loaf Hair Of The Dog Tour the night before. He then flew to New Berlin, WI for his appearance at GuitarFest. As well as 4 appearances in Movin' Out, Kasim also spent a couple of weeks in Los Angeles working on his "secret project".
In 2004 Kasim was mainly at home (making appearances in Movin' Out) as well as playing 4 concerts plus a fan party in Japan with Todd Rundgren on The Liars Tour.
In 2003 Kasim flew to Australia with Meat Loaf to play at the National Rugby Finals, flew home, then flew to UK for a weeks worth of rehearsals (with Meat Loaf) and then flew to Germany for the start of the Meat Loaf Couldn't Have Said It Better Tour. |

Recording of Bat Out Of Hell 3
11.00 - Paul Crook (Meat Loaf's lead guitarist) wrote on his official website yesterday that he flies out to Los Angeles on Thursday 17th November to start recording Bat Out Of Hell III. He says that he'll only be playing on 5 tracks (it's not currently known how many tracks will be on the album) and that Desmond Child is now producing the album (previously Meat Loaf said that Michael Beinhorn would be producing it). Desmond Child has co-writen hits for Kiss, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, Joan Jett, Ricky Martin, Michael Bolton and Cher and describes his mission as to "continue making music that helps others to get in touch with their feelings".
Kasim Sulton is known to be playing bass and singing background vocals on the album.

Kasim and The All Star Band???
12.00 - There were a couple of posts today on the BeyondAwizard (Todd Rundgren) mailing list about whether Kasim's rehearsals in Los Angeles recently has anything to do with a post on PalmBeachPost.com which says that Todd Rundgren and The Rock and Roll All Star Band will be playing at the Pineapple Festival in Jensen Beach, Florida tonight!
Thankfully one fan rang the festival booking agent and he confirmed that Todd Rundgren will NOT be there and that the newspaper had it all wrong!

Kasim on E-Bay
01.45 - There's an usual item currently available on E-Bay.com - it's Kasim Sulton's (autographed) acoustic Washburn guitar, one of his vests, a signed magazine advertisement and a letter from him verifying these items. (The guitar and vest were used on the Meat Loaf Bat Out Of Hell 2 Tour in 1994.) The opening price is *only* $999.99 and currently there are no bids on it. The auction ends on 11th November.
Apparently the history of this item is that originally all of these were donated as a prize in a competition in a guitar magazine.
Many thanks to Diane for forwarding this link.

Kasim in Movin' Out
05.30 - Kasim will be playing in the following performances this week of Movin' Out at The Richard Rogers Theatre in New York City:
Friday 28th - evening 8.00pm (Guitar)
Sunday 30th - matinee 3.00pm (Guitar)
Tickets are currently available in Row of B of the Front Mezzanine (the best part of the theater to see Kasim) for Friday nights performance and in Row F of the Front Mezzanine for Sunday's matinee. Tickets are $100 plus taxes. This musical is chorographed by Twyla Tharp and is based on songs by Billy Joel. The Richard Rogers Theatre is located at 226 W. 46TH ST., New York City.

Video Of The Month
02.30 - As I've said before, with Kasim Sulton it's always feast or famine! Sometimes there are too many items to add to the website (when he's touring) and at other times things are quiet. This gives me a chance to add things to the website which I haven't had the time to before or update items that have been neglected. One feature of KasimInfo.com which falls into the latter category is The Video Of The Month section (the link is on the front page of the website). To compensate for it not having been updated regularly, from now until the end of the year it is being changed to The Video Of The Week with the video being changed each Wednesday.
The video for this week is a clip of Kasim singing Eternal Love. (At all the Kasim solo gigs that I've attended I think this is the song that is requested most!)
(If you have a video of Kasim which you would like to offer for the section, then please e-mail it to SueW@KasimInfo.com. Credit is always given for all items on this website.)
