I quite like some Kiss songs, whether you define them as metal is a bit debatable, a lot of young people would say no.

I don't think KISS are metal, but who cares what young people would say about it?

 

[CiG]

For example?

Ha. I remember this song, don't really hear the metal. Sounds just like a hard rock band adopting some of the 1990's tropes. Haven't heard the other two albums though, maybe I'll check them out.

Radiohead is up to something. A bunch of related websites (homepage, facebook, twitter) etc. are being rendered opaque or having content deleted. Some suspect a new release is imminent.

i suppose they'll have to keep doing more and more outlandish marketing gimmicks if they're gonna cling on to some relevance

Their last record was their worst, they need redemption.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

It was better than Pablo Honey but otherwise I agree. I liked both Hail to the Thief and In Rainbows so it's not unthinkable that they have another good album in them.

Also no country, I noticed you're at exactly 1337 likes now so stop posting anything of value

Also EspaDa, I noticed you're at exactly 2112 messages so if you are a Rush fan you have to stop posting forever

I liked a bunch of his posts just to be a jerk.

 

[no country for old wainds]

[EspaDa]

Haha, exactly, I love that album. I've fucked it all up now. My next purpose is to reach 1349 likes now.

KISS for the entirety of the 70's were hard, shock, and glam rock. But, well enough into the 80's they dove head first into glam metal. In the 90's they recorded a few really metallic numbers too, like Unholy from 92's Revenge album and Within from 98's Psycho Circus.

I don't think KISS are metal, but who cares what young people would say about it?

For a great portion of their career, no. But like Deep Purple and some others, they without doubt moved into it later on.

For example?

For me, the metal in kiss is where the hair metal ventures into traditional metal.

Here are some examples:

Have you guys heard brand new Radiohead song? Finally we're blessed with some guitars.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

Don't know if I love it but it's got more urgency than most (all?) of TKoL so that's promising.

[no country for old wainds]

song and vid are fine without ever really surprising me or intriguing me about what comes next.

 

[Satanstoenail]

I like it, but then I don't think they've done anything bad since Pablo Honey
