Re: Twisted Sister hires new booking agent

They have two songs - some festival dates and maybe a show or two in New York has gotta cover the demand from TS IN 2025. They easily have enough songs for an hour and a half that the people interested in seeing them would know. I don't think their primary audience only knows I Wanna Rock and Were ...

Re: Billy Corgan Interviews Paul Stanley - Part 1

It is. Better than the average Paul Stanley interview though. Not really.

Re: Billy Corgan Interviews Paul Stanley - Part 1

If the interview is an hour of Billy trying to pull deep KISS data out of Paul like he did Gene, l have no interest in watching. What would you rather hear? The same 20 questions that have been asked thousands of times of the last 50 years? How did the makeup start? What's your favorite KISS album?...

According to guys like Lynch and Cavazo, most everyone in the Hear-n-Aid session was. Why would they lie? Well, I had no idea he was even in Hear-n-aid, but in that context sure. It would probably be uncomfortable to play lead guitar in the same song as somebody significantly better than you also p...

Do love seeing Jake involved. Doing him right, opposed to how Ace and Peter got treated. Ace & Peter got their royalties from KISS and they got a sweet retirement package of a 5 year reunion from 1996-2001. I'd imagine Jake is getting airfare, limo service, two nights at a nice hotel, and cater...

I'm not a big fan of Greatest Hits albums but I have always thought KISS' Ikons was a cool twist on the idea.

I am not saying he hasn't heard them, but it's not exactly hard to believe either. It's not like they went on to have a huge hit after 1991. I am guessing a very small amount of people going to see Skid Row post-Bach ever heard the then current singer on a record either. Congrats, you are 1 of the ...
