Pearl Jam’s Matt Cameron Receives Cease-and-Desist Letter From KISS Over Teenage Cover Band

Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron has shared a hilarious story about receiving a cease-and-desist letter from KISS when he was a teenager. Speaking on the Howard Stern Show to promote Pearl Jam’s latest album ‘Dark Matter’, Cameron revealed that he was in a KISS cover band as a teenager. During a KISS concert, Cameron and his bandmates met Paul Stanley and proudly showed him their photo album. However, a few months later, they received a legal letter from Aucoin Management, the company that managed KISS, demanding them to stop using the name ‘KISS’. Cameron attributed the letter to their failure to properly name their tribute band, which led them to add ‘(Imitation)’ after ‘KISS’.
