Re: STP at Welcome to Rockville
WTF do you want STP or AIC to do when a singer dies or departs? Close shop and go home? Over the years, there have been so many "complaints" about this. You'd swear a crime was committed when Adam Gontier left Three Days Grace. The dude from My Darkest Days steps in and does fine, but year...

Re: Retiring abroad
An easy way to research this stuff: Watch the international editions of House Hunters on HGTV. My wife had it on last night and somebody was browsing apartments in the $450 range in Laos or Cambodia. Can't remember which one, but it looked interesting. [/size] I bet they also have a good Ladyboi po...

Re: Retiring abroad
I despise this trend of old White Americans moving to foreign countries with no interest in the country beside the cheapness and it having beaches. You're white-washing the planet, giving zero fucks about the cultures, the languages, or the ways of life, and are driving up the costs of everything s...

Re: How are your teeth?
57 and have had one cavity my entire life. I had braces as a kid, but no other work was done besides regular checkups. I whiten them once in a while.

No, not divorcing your wife. Looking at possibly moving from US in the next 8-10yrs.

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: Kiss - You Wanted The Best... Question
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...

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 ...

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.

Re: Your stage gear as a Rocker
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.

Re: Sam Ash Music is shutting down
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...

Re: Kentucky Derby: Ava's Daddy for the win?
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...

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?"
