Basically never liked anything Sammy did.
I understand he can sing and all that, but I never liked the sound of his voice, his lyrics nor his music.

I think Bob Daisley was not as much involved in the songwriting on this one. He started, then left and in the end delivered lyrics for a lump sum.
That might explain the songs not being all there...

Long awaited???
By whom?

I thought Tattoo had some good lyrics, especially the lines about the unions.

At least here in the Netherlands the metal magazines were pretty open from the mid 80's about Rob being gay, even mentioning he had an apartment in Amsterdam due to the gay scene being centered there for Europe. No idea if that was true though, Rob does not mention an Amsterdam apartment when talkin...

KISS with Vincent. That first VVI as a Kiss album would have been fantastic. Great songs, no high whiney singer and no ridiculous guitar solos. According to the book Time Traveler, Vinnie demoed five songs for the next Kiss album with Hirsh Gardner on drums in early 1984 and according to Gardner, V...

Sadly they didn't have a Wolfgang sized mannequin to model my 3x and 4x options.

Just as well, it wouldn't have fit in the house....

Is the ScabCat on Prednison or something??

You can see his brain cant do 2 things at once anymore. He always comes in late to a line and leaves early, because he has to concentrate on the guitar. There is no anymore in this. He has always been unable to do this. He literally is unable to get to a mic in time for the first line in a song.....

Jesús christ disgusting!

Rainbow with Dio.

Sabbath with Gillan.

Ozzy with Jake.

He didn't have any writing credits and they had to bring Kulick in to finish a couple of the songs so I wonder how instrumental he really was in the recording of that album. He also later said that the arthuritis was a coverup because he pretty much left because they couldn't stand him and vv. The ...

Totally bring me back to living in NoHo in the 90's and seeing this on TV mid-day. NO ONE had seen anything like that white Bronco w/ AC driving it on the 405. Completely, and truly, mind-blowing. If anyone remembers driving Sunset west toward the Palisades and the traffic jam to Rockingham (dale.....

I think that was Ojeda

I am aware. Jay Jay founded the band long before Dee was a part of it. You were shitting on Dee's character saying he would go out as TS if he legally could. (maybe he would, maybe he wouldn't) But my point was if there was ever an example of someone who should be able to go out and call any group ...

I don't think so. To me Dee seems like a straight up kind of guy. He also wrote all the music and lyrics, so if anyone should be able to use the name it would be him. But he doesn't, Jay Jay does. I think he registered the name before Dee even joined the band... I am aware. Jay Jay founded the band...

If Jay Jay did not own the TS name you know Dee would jump at the chance to go out with his solo band and call it Twisted Sister. I don't think so. To me Dee seems like a straight up kind of guy. He also wrote all the music and lyrics, so if anyone should be able to use the name it would be him. Bu...

They had the absolute worst dual guitar team in all of metal. I highly doubt that fact has changed with time. It”s like having two of Ace Frehley 2024 trading licks. I’ll Pass. Yes, they both are below average guitar players. JJ even admits that in his book. But Twisted was a great live act and the...

At his age having it in his daughters name makes sure SHE gets it when he dies...not the state. Let's say ACE goes into long term care. When he dies his debts die with him. If HE still owned the house those debts would have to be made good by the estate before his family could get anything. That's ...

At his age having it in his daughters name makes sure SHE gets it when he dies...not the state. Why would the state get it? Wouldn't she just inherit the house (including a possible mortgage)? Actually his wife would inherit it 50% and his daughter 50%, I think. Or are you referring to his supposed...

You really don't have a clue what you are talking about here. And somehow you do? Yeah, because cases like Jeremy's happen all of the time. By the time the person with dementia or whatever goes to trial, charges are dropped because the defendant is not fit for trial. Verne Gagne, the wrestler who k...

Wasn't that the same wig Vinnie wore on the Lick it up cover?
If so, ABBA probably owns it now

Be better off using AI to make new "Catguy" and "Space Fag" avatars so they don't have to pay for likenesses. If they're buying something as dumb and useless as KISS, they will certainly be into paying more to Ace and peter to have the complete set. But then again, they made the...

No way he owns that. If he owns any assets he would have put them in his daughters name or his girlfriend’s name.

He's probably leasing it...

Same here, discovering old stuff I never got around listening to. Discovered the 70's Heart albums recently.... Any good? Where to start? I discovered Heart in the 80s and thought that the s/t was their debut... not knowing they were huge in the US for a decade before that. Will see them for the fi...

Not a big fan of these kind of scenes...

Is selling the catalogue something different than the publishing? Because they already sold their publishing up till then to Hori Pro Music in the late 80's. And I didn't expect them to own what I thought was the catalogue (the masters of the albums?) since that would be owned by whoever ended up bu...

The key is finding old stuff that is new to you. Example: I recently "discovered" that there was more to Lynryd Skynrd beyond the Freebird/SweetHomeAlabama/ThatSmell stuff that I used to constantly hear back in my radio listening days... Good fucking call. Try ABBA. Same here, discovering...
