Again, guys...I am 100% Gene's Bitch. And I don't mean that in a gay way. I'm secure in my masculinity...hehe but dammit, as much as I agree KISS sold out long ago, (from day one!) I can't help it. I don't really look at them as a band....a group of musicians...I look at them as an ENTERTAINMENT entity only. They're just a bunch of fun whatever era you look at. Same as Diamond David Lee Roth. Cheezy as all hell but again, you can't compare KISS to any BAND of skilled musicians. When was the last time you bought a HERSHEY BAR and thought, "Damn, as far as nutritional value goes, this thing is just shit...I should of had a powerbar". Hell no. It just tastes good!!!! KISS and especially SIMMONS are nothing but clowns and I mean that in a good way. They sing and dance and make you forget about all the stresses of the day to day grind. They're more interested in what TASTES GOOD than what's in GOOD TASTE...I think SImmons said that, but it's true. You can always go to Queensryche, Iced Earth, Dream Theater, or even the Dixie Dregs or Bella Fleck and the Flecktones if you want great players with musical integrity...but if all you wanna do is cut loose and ROCK AND ROLL ALL NIGHT...or if you get a little case of ROCK N ROLL PNEUMONIA...or if you like to drink a little COLD GIN then you had damn well be able to put your cynical pipe down and hit the best legal escape there is....the mighty KISS!
Slap my ass and call me shirley!
Terrible Ted
ps
DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE NUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GONZY BABY!
