KISS Guitarist To Act As Grand Marshall At Beaverton Celebration Parade

September 14, 2007

According to KissOnline.com, KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer will be in Beaverton, Oregon this weekend, acting as grand marshal of the Beaverton Celebration Parade. The parade starts at 10 a.m. and winds from SW Allen Boulevard through Beaverton's allegedly "historic downtown."

Best known as "that guy who replaced Ace Frehley," Tommy's been the Spaceman since 2003, but he's been a part of the KISS family for over 20 years, co-writing songs, producing and directing DVDs, and even teaching Ace how to play his leads before the 1996 KISS Alive reunion tour. Although he's based in Los Angeles, the 1978 graduate of Beaverton's Sunset High gets back to Oregon frequently to party with his family.
