I'll say it again. It's a drunken shambles.
Hello,

You say this like it's a bad thing.

Ironically (or appropriately?), Heston is usually in drunken shambles when posting to the KISS thread.
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.

Ha! We are what we hate.

I was fully expecting Corgan to want to sing the whole thing but was surprised to see the non-Jimmy Chamberlin drummer do a perfectly adequate job.

Now that rocked! I've never heard them cover that song, almost seems a bit more true to the original version than the Mats version.

Good god, the first poll was 12 years ago: https://clashcity.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2284

12 years before that, the first Meskies album hadn't come out yet.

In my defence I was sober when I wrote that.
