The first Invasion album is the ultimate over the top hard rock album and is even more over the top than Nitro. Super high vocals, drums sound like a drum machine, and his solos are completely insane and don't even follow the song melody or structure in any way most of the time. I like it too, but ...

Must be politics, right?

That was my first thought, but could also be money, or maybe they want him to fix his hair.

I'm guessing politics as well.

They had big issues with each other the first time around so it's not surprising shit probably was never 100% good between them.

Hard pass This. If you had said to my 13 year old self in 1984 that Twisted Sister would be let out the nursing home 40 years later to tour on the heels of ‘We’re not gonna take it” I would’ve shit my Krokus underdoos laughing. Yet here we are… unbelievable. And guys will pay to see it. https://i.p...

I do not endorse political violence, however I don't have to feign sympathy for people who showed none of it for others that suffered from it.

Bingo.

My new favorite subject is all of the Old Rocker and Metal Heads complaining about YUNGBLOOD! I see a few comments here, but they're ALL over social media, on the various YT links, etc... People bitching he's a show-off, that he tried to up-stage Steve Tyler, that he sang flat, they're annoyed he i...

Way better than Stiffly Stifferson Matt Borum.

Same applies for Big Asses... #gross!

Well look at that, me agreeing with you!

Chubby Checker has been doing the twist for about 1,000 years. Can you name anything else he's sang? I caught Chubby Checker by accident at a free show at Mohegan Sun Casino about 3 months ago. We actually had free tickets to the Village People on the outside patio stage and when it was over Chubby...

I have never understood the hate these guys get as guitarists. While I am not a guitarist, I can recognize great guitar players like anyone else (Rhodes, EVH) or some who stand out (DeMartini, Nuno, Jake E. Lee, etc.) but to me Jay Jay and Eddie seem no better or worse than a hundred other average g...

It is pretty shitty that you would leave a smaller tip because of how someone looks. That said, personally I am not a fan of any of that shit. But I don't give a shit what someone else feels comfortable wearing or their style choices. I recall going into a GameStop like 15 years ago and I went to a...

One could easily argue people posting on message boards in their 50s about music they listened to while going through puberty should grow up as well. The vast majority of KISS, Motley, or any other 80s type band have spent zero amount of time discussing them since they were teenagers. Most went on t...

I don’t see the problem with this at all. He should do whatever it takes to protect his family. Would you want some weird person stalking you? Agreed. But you have to remember the people who posted above don't like Nikki so of course he's a "fucking idiot" and looks "stupid." I ...

I seem to remember that there were rumors that Johnny Solinger was on speed dial and promo photos with him were taken before everyone cooled down and sorted their hash. (Assuming 1. My memory isn’t shit and 2. The rumors were true did those photos ever get leaked?) (Also, fuck me im old) Perhaps my...

I think this guy would look goofy in this outfit regardless of age.

But who gives a shit how old he is? If he likes it and the audience digs it, carry on.

Zeppelin. They (mainly Plant) knew when to stop. I think that had a whole lot to do with record sales and radio airplay. Led Zep had no money concerns to entice them to tour. They were constantly on the radio throughout the 80s and 90s generating income and then when CDs came out they were still se...

Stern has been included with the normal subscription for the last 6+ months (at least when I became aware of it)

Agreed. I thought it came across as good natured fun.

They should have another go at a Sam & Dave tour.

C’mon, raise your standards. Rock stars aren’t 70 years old. On any planet.

I disagree. No one came to replace them.

Awful? Re-watch his powerful rendition of "Unchained Melody" again!

A Myspace link? I havent seen one of those in a long long time. I am going to pass on clicking on it.

It is underrated as I never hear it in the super market, department stores or on the local "Magic" style radio station. Originally written by Paul Taylor during the early '80s, he offered this song to Eric Martin (later of Mr. Big) who declined even though he knew it would be a hit. Taylo...

I always thought Motley changing theirs was cool. It always looked great too. I think my favorite is Theatre of Pain.

Bizarre stage presence that somehow even I thought was cool in 1982-83, but was really nothing more than a nervous-looking man pacing the stage, removing and replacing the mic a thousand times, and screaming one of a small subset of about 4 phrases randomly: Option 1: "let me see how your hand...

Stadiums and arenas??? They can barely play a casino in 2025. Their last two tours they have played stadiums with Def Leppard, and while that might not happen again (honestly, I can't believe it happened to begin with) that's definitely not going to happen without Vince. In between those tours they...

If they replaced Vince, they'd be back to playing fairground shows with Adler's Appetite and LA Guns overnight. Nikki would sooner blow his brains out. If Vince is done, so is Crue. If Kiss try to scab up Ace and Peter, Kiss are done. If Paul uses tapes, Kiss is done. If old man Dokken looks and si...

I don't see that happening in a million years. At this point anyone going to see these bands are going to see the members more than wanting to hear a prime sounding band. I love Vince's studio voice, but he has always sucked live going back as early as 1985 on the Theatre tour. I get he is a hundred...

Ozzy dies and everybody is his best friend, America’s Lennon/McCartney Brian Wilson dies and nobody cares … disgusting. I had to read that Lennon/McCartney Brian Wilson part about 5 times before I realized what you were trying to say as it just wasn't making sense. Equating anyone with Lennon/McCar...

I also think KISS' primary market is diehard KISS fans who are probably more likely to enjoy their entire catalog rather than the just the "hits." So, what might be considered filler to casual fans isn't to KISS fans. Like back in the day KISS would sell between 500k-1M records to their de...

I'm guessing they'll play some C-market minor league stadium somewhere along the way, so it will be a stadium tour in the sense that they went on tour and played a show at a stadium. I recently had a conversation with a musician whose band played an instrumental that didn't thrill me as a fan, but ...
