Ok, 80/81 but definitely not 82. Got it.Heston wrote: ↑24 May 2020, 8:48pmWell that was a bit later, I'm talking 80/81.

My definition of hippies is different to yours. KISS were a rock and roll band, not some stupid fucking heavy metal hippies.

They're metal when you don't like them, but they aren't metal when you do.
