OK, I’m gonna go out on a limb here…I think Gene Simmons might be kinda full of shit sometimes.

Also, did Gene even show up for that album? “We’ve ever done” :lol:

Bruce should slam them in his book but he won’t.

Bruce is writing a book? That's gonna be a scintillating as Ellefson or Adrian Smith.

Wanted to take a listen to this, but I guess it's not released to streaming services? Other soundboard albums were. Everything with KISS is nonsense. Always has been, but as a dumb kid, it didn't matter.

They should stick Wolfgang Van Halen on that shirt, just for the hell of it.

CD in Japan only apparently.

Fuck vinyl. It used to be the cheap option, now it costs 3-4 times more than a cd.

I've been tempted to get back into vinyl with the Bluetooth turntables and such, but the cost is what prevents impulse buying.

Released to streaming on Friday. Sounds like shit. Not just audio quality but the musicianship and vocals are awful.

I noticed that. And JFC the solos are insufferable.

That is some embarrassing shit. I’m no shredder/soloist but that was me about 45 yrs ago. Maybe today too. I haven’t picked up my guitars since 2011.

I think King of the Mountain was a great song for that time. But Of course, we’d rather hear Fits Like A Glove. Horrible.

Might be the worst sounding official release by a major band ever. Maybe the point is to have a "raw" vibe, but it sounds like someone snuck a cheap 2010 phone back to 1985 and held it up in the air. Just awful
