About me:
Born David Scott McClusky Oct. 27, 1968. Founder and Lead Guitarist of the band "Hotter Than Hell" The Official KISS Tribute.*See www.hotterthanhell.com for more info or scroll down and watch the HTH Promo Video on this page.
After touring North America for over 10 years I decided to settle down in the small town were I grew up so I could spend more time with my family. I am currently attending college fulltime and performing select dates with the band.
When Scott McClusky was 9 years old in 1977, he had an experience at school one day that changed his life. "I went to catholic school and one day some of the kids were passing around these KISS trading cards," McClusky says in a phone interview from his California office. "That was my first exposure to KISS. I saw this card with Ace on it and I was just entranced by that card."
Now McClusky has made it his life's work to play, move, dress and act more like Ace than Ace himself. If anyone would have been asked to stand in for the KISS guitarist, you'd figure McClusky would be the ideal candidate.
When the subject comes up about McClusky ever having ever filled in or even been asked to fill in for the original guitarist, he laughs in a coy manner and then assumes the mock-formal tone of a presidential press secretary. "I can neither confirm nor deny those rumors," he says, with an audible nudge-nudge, wink-wink.
When Scott McClusky moved from upstate New York to Hollywood, California to pursue a career in film and acting, he ended up landing a part in the New Line Cinema film Detroit Rock City as a double for Ace Frehley (Click to see photos). Soon thereafter McClusky was contacted by KISS for help with a fall Playboy photo shoot featuring models in KISS make up. Scott painted all the Ace Frehley-faced playmates and helped with the twenty-plus others.
After simulating the KISS concert experience for ten years, McClusky has acquired some of the canary-eating swagger that is always typified the members of KISS. When asked about the competitiveness of the tribute band business, he dismissively retorts, "There's no competition with other bands, 'cause we smoke 'em all." He is unfailingly quick to separate himself from the pretenders in this genre of pretense.
To date, Hotter Than Hell has been featured on CNN, Entertainment Tonight, American Journal, MTV, VH1, Access Hollywood, and NBC's Today Show. Hotter Than Hell filmed a documentary entitled "Mockstars" for Artisan Productions that will be released for television internationally.
Who knows, maybe one day Simmons and Stanley will simply hand the car keys over to McClusky and tell him to keep the KISS machine going.

Who I'd like to meet: I would need a time machine to make that happen...
I came out of my nightshift last Wednesday morning and found out that i had a fever of 38'7 so that's why i didn't feel very well the last 2 day's but just did my job. And when i went to bed Wednesday night my back hurted so much i even could't lay on my back nor my left or right side. I got some medication and it's going better again.
