Yes. As much as we might make fun of Kiss, Black Diamond does rock pretty damned hard.

If you don't like insane guitar solos, screaming vocals, and pyro, then cast your vote for Bittersweet Symphony.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Nobody argues that KISS' "Black Diamond" is lame; the argument is that (a) KISS on the whole are extremely lame and (b) The Replacements' cover is superior.matedog wrote: ↑08 Nov 2019, 12:02pmJust watched this version:WestwayKid wrote: ↑08 Nov 2019, 11:50amYes.

"Bittersweet Symphony," however, is the sound of a long-dormant curse activated and sapping people of their good sense.

Why is Black Diamond all in upper case Heston? Are you trying to influence the poll.
