Re: The KISS thread
That performance is so lifeless. I get that they've done it all thousands of times, so there can't be much spontoneity—it's all muscle memory at this point—but it's all so utterly drab. Point at the audience, stick out your tongue, stomp two steps here and then back. It's a Big Mac and fries kind of performance. Everyone knows what they're going to get, it's not special or good, but it's familiar and reliable and that apparently is what everyone wants.

Re: The KISS thread
Good on Gene for not letting that get to him, at least in the performance.
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.

I can't believe how loud Heston screams when he catches one of those plectrums.
Forces have been looting
My humanity
Curfews have been curbing

If this was an Alice Cooper song it would be well regarded.I'm stupid and I'm lazy
Man, if they only knew
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Of course it is, but that doesn't make it bad. Listen to the lolloping calliope.

Re: The KISS thread
Or people would ask why Alice Cooper wanted to sound like MOR KISS.

Re: The KISS thread
Kiss has canceled its long-scheduled Las Vegas residency due to “soft ticket sales,” according to a report in the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The residency, at the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood on the strip, was scheduled to open Dec. 29 and run through Feb. 5.
Think Gene and the guys will take the hint already?
Doesn't matter to me either way, but that is kinda embarrassing ... I guess playing those songs isn't embarrassing enough for them ...

From what I see there's still a little hope
