Re: STP at Welcome to Rockville

I’m reading these last few posts from the two of you and laughing to myself (in a good way) - “Wow this is really well-reasoned, on point, and respectful. Am I on the right website?” :lol: I can troll, but I prefer not to. If someone comes back with snark, I often (but not always) just quit respond...

Re: STP at Welcome to Rockville

I don't think it's apples to oranges...for me, maybe Red Delicious to Granny Smith. I was unaware DuVall was in Cantrell's solo band (I never paid them any attention), so I see your point there. And I agree that Weiland was one-of-a-kind despite stealing moves from Jagger and Iggy. The sound and lo...

Re: Are you racist?

I'm married, so I'm not in the market for other women per se, but like white women, I don't find them all to my liking. I find attraction to women of all races and some not. And yes, if I were single, I would date or marry a non-white woman if we clicked.

Re: STP at Welcome to Rockville

Yeah, TooOld, apples and oranges. William DuVall had been singing in Jerry’s solo band for years (got to see it a couple times myself) and wasn’t hired specifically to be a carbon copy of Layne out of a pool of thousands of applicants. I also don’t think the sentiment is anyone being outraged and p...

She can carry a tune, but it was average. When I think of actors who are legit musicians, the only current one I can think of off the top of my head is Jared Leto (30 Seconds to Mars). I know he's polarizing, but the musical career is not a vanity project like Kate or Keanu's Dogstar...or Steven Sea...

Re: Kiss in the 80s

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...

Re: Did Gene Simmons or Paul Stanley ever successfully make someone's career?

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...

Re: Did Gene Simmons or Paul Stanley ever successfully make someone's career?

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 ...

It never looks out of place. If you have a rock n roll stage persona and try to keep that going in d...
