Re: The KISS Thread
True KISS story.
A ten years ago friend of mine (who was in the Kiss Army back in 1977 at the age of 12) had to drive from Denver to Detroit.
So he drives straight thru in 24 hours listening to only one cassette over and over and over. The cassette was..............
KISS LOVE GUN
I asked him why? He answered WHY NOT?
The KISS albums of the 70's are great, after that they were pretty poor.

Very Stonesy, and a good example of why they shouldn't be written off as cock-rockers.

Re: The KISS Thread
Not a bad song at all. I like the change at the end too. However, I'm not sure what your definition of "cock-rockers" is, but mine would include both Kiss and the Stones.Heston wrote:KISS Song of the Day...

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.

Re: The KISS Thread
I think cock-rock is often limited to sleazy 80s-style metal, though the Stones by the mid 70s were pretty much a giant veiny dong on stage.matedog wrote:Not a bad song at all.

70s Kiss is definitely cock rock—80% of their songs can be categorized as "worship my dick."Wolter wrote:I think cock-rock is often limited to sleazy 80s-style metal, though the Stones by the mid 70s were pretty much a giant veiny dong on stage.matedog wrote:Not a bad song at all.

But yeah, the Stones became a throbbing weapon of tomfoolery after '78.

Chickenshit Conformist is by far one of the most embarassing DK songs, lyrically speaking. Though I sang the hell out of it as a teenager. I was a rebel.Wolter wrote:JennyBiafra?JennyB wrote:Cock Rock metal's like a bad laxative. It just don't move me, you know.

Re: The KISS Thread
80s Kiss, yes, in that industry-acceptable kind of way. 70s Kiss was still too pop—deliberately commercially minded—to be metal. A poppish hard rock of sorts, with equal interests in crotches and cash.Heston wrote:Q. Are KISS metal?
