Someone's hoping for a better gig!

:) The debut through Louder Than Hell are cool. After that they got a bit long in the tooth This Warriors of the World is pretty good, IMO better than Louder and Triumph. Not to mention everything after that album. Half of it is very good to great despite the drumcomputer, but these tracks are tota...

Imagine all the shit you're bringing into your home if you don't take off your shoes, such a nasty habit.
Hell, I even switch pants and sweater. No cross contamination between sofa & cinema seats please.

Thought this would be a Terminator thread.

Their potential best-of can rival with any other heavy metal band.
First four are all killer no filler. Okay no, of course the bass solos suck. Afterwards it's gets spottier, but the best is still great.

I've seen Prince and Springsteen reaching/crossing the 3:30 line, and frankly those are the only acts I'd even want to do that.
2h is the max for other good to great headliners.

A coffeetablebook with a full collection of these would be an instant buy.

I'd love to hear more about the similarities between those two bands!

At the end of the show, instead of taking home, let's say in dollars, 180 dollars each one, we took 40 dollars each one. Again ,mea culpa about not being stronger in my beliefs. This should be the straw that broke the bassist's back. Instead of some nice pocket you all left with a tip, he fucks ove...

Win/win for Paul if he doesn't have to do it himself.

Not gonna lie: if the KISS ARMY is decimated in 10 years time 80% of the KISS ARMY will be dead or in aged care in 10 years time. And their kids will throw all their KISS shit in the dumpster. The bobbleheads, worn shirts, plastic KISS-Kutlery end stained undies: sure. But the framed guitars will e...

uhh...ok Richie

Hahaha what a dick, amazing.

Not gonna lie: if the KISS ARMY is decimated in 10 years time and these flood the market I'd pick one up. For 1/20 of those prices of course.

Can only judge him from the short tour in which he took his father's sport in the E Street Band, where he showed little feel for the tempo of slow songs.
Might be a good punk/hardcore guy where just rushing all the stuff is okay though.

Both ugly dudes, that part is true.

Paul on the mic again, says Gene used to steal his song titles, Gene says Paul used to steal his song titles and that he wrote Strutter. Paul not happy. Eric plays the drum intro to Strutter and gets totally ignored, they don’t play it. :lol: :lol: :lol: For all the "they're phoning it in!&quo...

Bloody brilliant.

I do like Last Rose. 15-year-old me loved Prisoner of your Eyes but that's 20 years ago so let's not mention it again.

True.

Used to love Heathen, but those clean thrash bands haven't aged well for me at all.

The world knows its WASP, easiest poll in a while.

Painkiller is what Revenge and COS was to KISS and No Prayer for the Dying was to Maiden. A desperate attempt at remaining relevant. And the rapper on the first song of Black Sabbath Forbidden. BIG difference: in 2023 Painkiller is viewed as one of Priest's classics, while your other examples never...

Make a top 10 of the songs of both, and you'll see it won't feature a single LAGuns track. Not even on the reserve bench.

Children of the Damned is a great song.
The opening riff of Children of the Grave is better than the whole Maiden catalogue combined.

Yes, Kiko probably makes more money as a guitar teacher in Finland and can be a present father. Indeed. Either guitar teachers are payed a LOT more in Finland than I'd think, or Kiko is/was on a shit salary for headlining gigs. Option three: "he wants to be at home regardless of the money".

Tipton was also smart not to release a book endlessly shittalking his former band mates, calling them incapable drunks responsible for every bad decision, and himself the inventor of everything that was ever good about the band. He went through 250 pages to make sure the bridges were thoroughly burn...

No thank you.

If I'm seeing this right, you have a small standing section, seats and than a huge standing in the back?
So weird to see that many seats at US concerts.

I won't tell you exactly what he did, but he used his hand to make a gesture in the below-the-pants region that I nearly caught on camera by accident and I think I audibly gasped.

Oh lordy such a naughty young lad.
