How fucking great is this? KISS' lame-ass cover only proves the original's excellence.

I can't tell if the shambolic quality is the band or the recording, but I dig it. The delay is a little distracting, but it's easy to see how these guys challenged the Beatles' supremacy in America for a bit.

I think the fuzz is intentional as other recordings are cleaner sounding. It's pretty much archetypal garage rock.

KISS did the better version and KISS are the American Beatles on steroids.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Hello,

Does this mean the members of KISS have shrunken testicles and severe acne on their backs?

I posted it here before some years ago now.
It's not so strange as people think . Banarama's first single was produced by Pistols drummer Paul Cook. The girls lived at the Denmark St. rehearsal room for a while.
I hope they didn't eat any sandwiches made by Steve.
I hope they didn't eat any pizza made by you. ;)
It ain’t what you do it is the way that you do it.

Good lord but that bass sound/line is immense. It could solve any five problems and cause six more.

Between people being upset about the Thermals breaking up and the man from Frightened Rabbit dying, two bands I have without exaggeration never heard of, I feel like I've had some kind of stroke. I guess this is what getting older is.
I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

Yup. That kind of ignorance has less and less effect on one's life, tho. All kinds of entertainment/leisure-related stuff that used to seem vital in terms of identity and connection to others gets more and more ephemeral.

The only thing to do now is to write comparative reviews of Wire bootlegs. :shifty:
