""""""""""""""" Pretty good stories """""""""""""""""""""""

You mean the stories about how Poison stole their show?

That's pretty old and weak... Poison moved away to L.A. in what, 1983, 1984? And Kix had 3-4 albums out before Poison did.

40+ years later and he's talking about how Poison stole their show, because they used balloons, confetti and dropped to their knees in their choreography?

I didn't know Steve Whiteman and Kix invented and copyrighted all of that?

I want to say Poison arrived in Hollywood in March 1984.

Kix had some good songs but I was never blown away by them. Poison were a much better band with much better records.

To be fair, the Poison guys DID knick all of that straight from Kix. They idolized those guys, and to hear them tell it, the best show you could ever see was Kix at Hammerjacks.

The Poison house was where I first heard of Kix, and the first place I heard Kix's records.

As to whether Whiteman should get past it...I dunno, but it's a fair cop.

i just remember KIX always had that somewhat cheap magazine ad. it was like a coupon or something. I have watched some of the podcast highlights. I saw the one where Steve said he made 500 dollars a week for 18 years and that was it. He also got a 200 dollar per diem. they only made money on merch sales. Atlantic kept them in debt according to him.

Wasn't there some story that they owed so much to the record company that Midnight Dynamite just paid off the debt so they didn't get anything from it?

He claims he never received a single check from Atlantic

Yeah it's not like they saw them once and said, "hey, let's copy those guys". They were both from S. Central PA, Kix was definitely a big influence on them.

[Sleek]

Kix was from Hagerstown, Maryland.

...gotta keep your shitholes straight, man.
