I'm not totally convinced that this isn't going to be an issue, so I'm playing that by ear. If "Tech Boys" is back on the table, I am not.

If this was our last word on this subject, it would be a fitting pay off.

As the band has demonstrated for decades, KISS does not require any real skill, just shamelessness.

Kory has very interesting tastes in music with his love of jazz, post punk, prog etc. He is very capable of producing something way more interesting and challenging than that band.
