Simon's Axe

Posted on 03/02/2010
My four and half year old son, Simon, has been a KISS fan for about a year or so now. His favorite songs are "Shout It Out Loud" & "Stand". He loves to watch my KISS dvds and try and play along (air guitar) with the band. In the past it's been Paul and Tommy....but that was until Simon noticed Gene's Axe Bass. What put it over the top was when Simon saw the Guitar Hero controller (based off Gene's Axe) at Wal-Mart, and has been asking for one ever since. We tried to explain how much it was and the fact that we don't even have the game. But Simon's been begging for it non stop, even to tears. He even brought out his piggy bank and gave it to us to put toward the cost of the toy guitar. After my wife recovered from the sweetness of our boy, she decided to make an Axe replica for Simon so he can rock right along with Gene. Not bad for some cardboard, paint, and duct tape huh? Simon sure likes it. Rock on little guy!!
