Re: Deep Purple Perfect Strangers tour

Only on video and I love it. The ending cracks me up - Ian just picks someone out of the front row and takes her with him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXWiEYku0GY Epic. At the same time that doesn’t look like a very big venue and there were a lot of massive bands in 84/85. Who said that was the...

Re: 70's music ... best shit ever?

Priest perhaps isn’t a good example. Their mid 80s stuff is more nuanced than most of the simplistic shit on Unleashed In The East. Yeah they had some more prog stuff as well, but mostly dumb shit like The Ripper and Exciter. Have you just realized "British Steel" was 8released in the 80'...

Re: Time goes by faster when you're older

Six months or a year is ages when you’re a kid because if you’re ten years old, a year is ten percent of your entire life. It IS a long time by comparison. Summer holidays used to seem like months and months.

Once you’re thirty or forty, a year is nothing. Blink and it’s gone.

As an Italian KISS fan, there's something I've always pondered, and it's about the album Carnival of Souls. You know, the one that got shelved for years and only saw the light of day in '97, after the whole KISS reunion with makeup and all. But, here's the thing – I often think about what would have...

You know, I've always had this dream about the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Walt Disney World. Sure, Aerosmith is great, and all, but imagine if it starred KISS instead.
