I cut my teeth on Destroyer when it came out in the 5th grade, but I didn't mind the 80s. I think it mostly had to do with high school and college and finally having some money and independence to go to shows. Plus, the 80s was a great decade. Otherwise, if that was my intro to KISS, they'd have see...

Since the Revenge/COS era, KISS has done nothing of substance besides raking in undeserved cash from touring and merchandise. I saw a couple of reunion shows and one or two more after Singer re-upped. Aside from the over-touring, think about any good output. There is none. KISS was finished after R...

Paul jump-started his renowned career, but it wasn't Paul's doing. Desmond co-wrote (or probably mostly wrote) the song. It was his own doing. But Desmond did not write most of IWMFLY. Paul had an idea about a song inspired by what was played at Studio 54 with a pulsating beat and lyrics about imme...

The answer is no one. Gene's version of discovering VH has been debunked down to maybe recording a demo, and that's it. Desmond took off because a disco-rock song took off. Indirectly, Paul jump-started his renowned career, but it wasn't Paul's doing. Desmond co-wrote (or probably mostly wrote) the ...

Didn't John Oates just do this or wanted to but got a restraining order from Hall? It must be common, but I have no idea how it works.

I thought he tripped over Brad's dick.

Having grown up on the original movies with humans in costumes and prosthetics, I have a hard time with these CGI'd movies. I wish the chimps looked less chimp-like and some apocalyptic version. I love shit like the alternate reality of Ape Lincoln, but I have a hard time getting into the movies. No...

During the nu metal era I was guilty of quite a few fashion crimes including but not limited to red pants, leopard hair, and superglued spiked hair. I hope the 15 people at my gigs appreciated my efforts. That's funny. That is how many of my cover gigs went back in the 2010s in turnout. Some were d...

I was just a cover band dude. Usually jeans, boots, chain wallet, tee shirt, leather jacket - or something similar that I would also wear out on the street. That's pretty much my look today though I don't play out anymore.

When playing out with a severe case of G.A.S., I used to frequent Ash and GC weekly. I never bought a guit from there, but a couple of amps, fx, and a ton of accessories, cables, lights, etc. I haven't been in either for 12 years. Since I stopped playing live, I hardly buy anything but strings these...

Not unlike that wanna-be porn star Kristie Noem. Did you actually meet Kim Jong Un? I've met many world leaders. The book has been updated to fix that. Say more bullshit, and don't directly answer ANY FUCKING QUESTIONS. I'm thinking of some things that would probably get me banned from everything, b...

Never thought of it that way. I always come back to Rick Springfield as a good example. Genetics and a little Botox help, and he still looks pretty good. On and off stage, he's a tee-shirt/jeans guy. It never looks out of place. If you have a rock n roll stage persona and try to keep that going in d...

You don't think the white suit is cool? It's "Derby Cool," but the Derby look is not my thing. He sounds more coherent than any interview in the last decade. That's a good thing. I'm talking more about that hair and the fate most of us suffer with age, droopy skin/face, plus he has that n...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fT8KM4Bxco I pay little attention to these guys, so when I see Jon or Richie, it's a little startling how these 80s "heartthrob" rockers look so friggin old. I know I look like shit. You see some handsome older guys out there now and again. Aging rockers ar...

Point noted.

I first saw them on the Slippery Tour at their pinnacle. After Crush, I tapped out. I had forgotten I saw them on that tour (for the last time).

Back in the old days of Pay-Per-View, I VHS taped the Moscow Music and Peace Festival. I wish I still had that (will need to look on YT). I thought it was a great time capsule of the era. Edit: Found it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX8ANPDfaaU Man, Bach had "such a purtty mouth" back ...

At least they produced the thrice-sized salvation to the death of rock and roll. For Christ's sake, Wolfie, get some goddamn Ozempic.

great tune but there must be a better performance than jon following the telestrator for the whole song. I found that clip boring. I haven't seen them since the Keep the Faith tour, but the first thing I noticed was the lack of motion on the stage and the "sanitized" sound before I bailed...

Jon was unnecessary for that performance.

I think you all should focus on bringing back Ed Hardy and Affliction shirts. Aren't they essentially the same as Ashbawear but more "classic?"

Do some of you genuinely feel sadness for her? I feel nothing. She's had money, fame, protection, and access to the best of anything, from doctors to drugs. When someone has the keys to the kingdom but chooses to or cannot help themselves...shrug. I do not draw parallels between her and Chris Corne...

Most of the girls he fucked on video for "Till the End" were american chicks. He's prolly go local due to travel costs.

Good point. Deep South will be a great selection of locals.

We are all free to have mental breakdowns and OD. She makes 80s Motley Crue look like alterboys.

How long before she is dead?

Not soon enough.

Yep. Been a fan for 15+ years. Kind of mix of Lit and Rick Springfield. Also, check out a spin-off band called USA!USA!USA. Frank Pino is also the lead singer. Very similar sound to Waltham.
