Re: At this point would you rather see Vince Solo or Motley Crue?

Saw Vince solo at a casino right around the time I saw Crue on their 2014 (or whenever) farewell tour.

Vince solo was way more fun. Nowadays you don’t even get to hear Mick play guitar with Crue, so the choice is easy.

Re: "In 1978, Kiss had retail sales of $117 million"

It's very normal for a company that does $100 million a year to be left with a couple million in profit. Net profit = revenue – cost of goods sold – operating expenses – interest – taxes. Example: Amazon's net profit is 3.36%, and they are big enough to secure the most favorable deals on the planet....

Re: SLUDGE IS ON THE WAY … Saigon Kick’s Jason Bieler and Phil Varone exchange Facebook blows w/ ex-singer Matt Kramer

This whole thing confuses me. I had to look up that album they're touring - it flopped.

So they're a one hit wonder, but they want to go out and tour a later album that flopped without the singer that sang their one hit?

What's the money in that? $1,500 a night?

Music is good. Verse melody is indeed Jealous Again.... Chorus melody doesn't exist. Needs a better hook.

The genre is obsolete. Too expensive to make it, the return on investment isn't there. Kids used to take making rock and roll as seriously as a boxer takes his shot at a world title fight.

Poison had “it”.

No.

I would watch Great White if they were playing for free at the fair, just to hear Mark play guitar.

I wouldn't watch Slaughter if you were paying me $70 to stand there.
