Re: Question for Heston
I was deeply scared of KISS as a kid (I was born in 1977). I’d see them and start yelling, but as a red blooded dope smoking American kid - they became cool. You could tell the “cool” music freaks from the followers. The cool kids were listening to Destroyer and the followers were listeining to Zep. I do love Led Zeppelin, but I’m glad I chanced upon KISS because they really were good. They figured out how to make hard rock catchy. Potential ally? Heck, my friend - you have an ally!Heston wrote: ↑30 Jan 2018, 9:03pmI like the cut of your jib.WestwayKid wrote: ↑30 Jan 2018, 8:58pmThey needed the added keyboards to fight for the Black Diamond.

Re: Question for Heston
Most underrated KISS album? I almost want to go with Hot in the Shade...but has to be Creatures! That is an absolute head stomping of an album. Play that one loud enough and it will just melt your brain!!!

I am a Destroyer man myself, Flaming Youth is my favourite KISS song. Did you know we have a thread dedicated to them?

Re: Question for Heston
The ‘Mats liked them enough to cover them on what would be their best album and it wasn’t an ironic hipster decision. They liked the song. They liked the band. It’s a great track.
