Agreed and agreed. Although one of the hottest things about the son is that he sounds like Gene.

I'm fucking sorry, but KISS =

EXCEPT, more homoerotic. Because every fucking fag circus picture you showed had chest hair flaring out like a semi straight Freddy Mercury. If you get a hard on for clowns, take some shrooms and go jerk off to Cirque du Soleil.

Are you serious? You realize KISS predates this novelty act by 20 years, right?

You weren't alive when it started. Don't expect you to understand.

There's a parallel between being a KISS fan and being an Auburn fan particularly in relation to growing up in the 70s.

Are you serious Clark?

It's supposed to look like a cat. That's the point. Thanks for noticing. Peter (the drummer) was the "Catman" Even had a cat tattoo on the left shoulder. It was his persona.

Gene = "Demon"
Paul = "Starchild"
Ace = "Space Ace"
Peter = "Catman"

And yes, it rocked.

No. Not at all.

If there's anything remotely gay, it would be Paul.

vs.

Total lack of gayness from Ace and Peter.

I don't want to have this arguement again, but if KISS doesn't wear wigs and high hells and paint their faces and fly around on floating stages, they have nothing. The music is average at best and anyone could do it. Their timing was good and they were the "original" so they have a following...

Hell, Garth Brooks was big back in the day and flew around on wires and had fire at his show. People loved going to see him in concert, but that doesn't mean his music was good...

Funny you should mention that.

Garth Brooks = Big KISS fan. Covered Hard Luck Woman on one of his albums.

90% of what Brooks did on stage, he copied directly from KISS shows.

He took the same formula (even gave credit to that fact) and became the biggest country star in the world -- following in the footsteps of the biggest rock band in the world at one time.

Nothing my ass, by the way. If "anybody" could do it, anybody would. Anybody can't.

If you're talking about playing the songs, then you can say that about every band in the world. There's nothing The Eagles, Beatles, Pink Floyd, Van Halen or any other band does that somebody else can't replicate and play almost note for note.

And see, this is the problem. That song identifies the band when it's really one of their weaker efforts. Most people don't see past that one iconic track -- well that and Beth -- and dismiss it in its entirety.

KISS Unplugged should be mandatory listening.

The early work was very good. The debut album from 1974 contained Deuce, Strutter, Firehouse, Cold Gin, 100,00 Years and Black Diamond. Every bit of that holds up. Deuce and Diamond are very solid tracks. The sound from that time was unlike anything else out there. KISS helped invent metal, a genre that didn't really exist at the time.

Darkness will fall on the city
It seems to follow you too
And though you dont ask for pity

I am unexplainably disinterested.

I don't know why we will beat Kentucky.

I heard the idiots on the radio down here (Scott Hunter, Former Fatass Schultz and that crew) predicting a very tight game and a one or two-point Auburn win. The line's like 12.

I am lethargic, however.

I am working on an article about the flag phenomenon. I heard some dumbass Bammer on Finebaum snickering about the disappearing Auburn flags after the Arkansas loss and was flabbergasted. Last year I was sitting at a redlight at Eastern Shores on the Friday before the SEC Championship game. I counted 37 flags and magnets around me. The parking lot at the mall looked like a mushroom field with the white flags sticking up on the cars. The Monday after? None at the same redlight. None. No flags. No magnets. I drove through the ES parking lot and found one car with two flags on it in the whole damn lot.

Bastards.
