Re: Nuno <3s Lovebites

Yeah Nuno isn't the tallest guy around, and yeah all of the band members wear big heels (except the drummer). Honestly they look no shorter than the Japanese tourists I see every day. As for Nuno spazzing out, he was being recorded by the Lovebites videographer so I'm sure he played up his reactions...

Vito Brata...the guy just flowed. The solo in "Wait" showcases this.

Justin Hawkins reviewed the tune. I had never really considered the Scandinavian elements in the music before, but he is right in his comparisons. Of course, ABBA has been brought up often.
Spillways was the best ABBA song in the past 30 years.

Re: KISS Off The Soundboard Asylum, removed Eric and Bruce from merch

My guess is when Pophouse bought KISS (catalog, images, IP) it did not include rights to any members but Paul & Gene. For a release with limited commercial appeal, why pay more to make it happen?

Re: Ghost is like Kiss '79, right? Only children like them?

At first glance the new Album Anti Pope/Papa/ Cardinal or whatever the hell he'll be called...is a veer away from the more commercial sound of the last couple albums. Impera started with a "Rush" song and a "ABBA" song, super commercial. The new single is a redirection to the &qu...

Each of the five years I lived in South Florida I had to secure the house 6 times preparing for a hurricane. Only took any real damage from the first one (the week I moved there, Welcome to Florida). Hurricanes sucked, but not as much as the red necks, overt racism, and smothering humidity. All reas...

The best thing about Cold Gin are the bass slides. Other than that it sound...
