Re: Jake Paul to fight Mike Tyson

It will be a pattycake spar session without headgear just like all the rest of these things. If they were real actual fights it would be somewhat entertaining but they always end up being crap. But people are easily duped and will buy anything. It amazes me that people thought Mayweather-McGregor wa...

Big surprise. I knew there’s not a chance that was their “farewelll” tour. They had longer gaps between albums than this retirement lasted.

Re: What's your least favorite song by Canadian heartthrobs "RUSH"?

For me every Rush album was perfect up to and including Grace Under Pressure. After that the quality kept dropping until Counterparts, which was a good comeback. But even on all the less than stellar albums there was always at least a song or two that were classics. I couldn’t pick a least favourite...

Re: Is John 5 worth seeing live?

It's the same thing as going to see Bumblefoot or whatever - a guy playing guitar exercises disguised as songs. You like the idea of that or you don't. I'd rather be shot.

Re: RIP Helix drummer Greg “Fritz” Hinz

Fuck. Shitty and sad. My band opened for them in 96 or 97ish at a club show. This was a time when that style of music was probably at its lowest point of popularity and there was a very poor turnout. It was a little depressing and not too long after was when I finally gave up on the bar band thing. ...

At first, I thought it was a let-down after Vices. But over the years this one has really grown on me, and has probably surpassed the debut. Still not enough listens to Rock the World to determine where that one falls for me. I liked Rock The World a lot better. Too bad they were more or less finis...

Nobody is going to give a flying fuck about Kiss in a couple years, so this avatar thing is going nowhere. That’s why they will reunite again and play more shows before they are forgotten about.

Yeah it was great. A surprisingly quick and extreme shift to metal compared to Rising Force (which is also great), but it was smooth and natural and not contrived. Not a weak song on it either.

Back on the Defenders tour in 1984? What did you think of them? Did they go over well and did you know anything about them prior?

You honestly think Paul Stanley cares about any of that? People are still showing up in big numbers and paying stupid ticket prices to see this gong show. He’s laughing all the way to the bank. He knows Kiss can pull any kind of bullshit and people don’t care. It’s a license to print money.
