  1. I hope the lady and her family who were attacked are okay. Celebrity stalking is just getting so out of control. It's really crazy out there now.
  2. I got into Elmore James after watching the Blues Brothers movie where his name was mentioned. Elmore James was known as the King of the slide quitar. He influenced many bands including Canned Heat, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page. Here is Elmore James' Dust My Blues cover of Robert Johnson's "I'll Believe I'll Dust My Broom". Elmore James recorded this song later as "Dust My Broom" which most people know it by today.
  3. I was responding to the Chase. I said I "like" the Monkees, but my point was that they were not to be take as a serious act like CSN&Y. But Neil Diamond did provide them with some hit songs. I never said I didn't take YOU serious. I don't take KISS seriously. I believe you when you say you think they are a great rock and roll band.
  4. I like the Monkees too. But CSN&Y they are not. When decisions are made about make-up, merchandise deals and getting more pre-teens to pay for concert tickets.... there is a loss of credibility in my opinion. That is my main problem with KISS. I have open ears to all kinds of music, but not everything in between is credible. Your warm affections for KISS aside, I am certain you can appreciate that?
  5. Very interesting information, thanks. I've seen a bunch of the interviews on youtube and I come off thinking that Eddie is an asshole, while Dave is just wacky.
  6. I wonder how they handle the forth line of lyrics from Dazed & Confused?
  7. Just to be fair I listened to this with my eyes closed. But sorry, I still find it to be mediocre at best. If you open your eyes the theatrics may be memorable, but that can only get you so far. @Virgil Kane, I can see where you are coming from because with Alice Cooper I grew sneaking my dads sacred albums out to listen to, and I had no idea Alice was doing theatrics, and I still liked what I was hearing.
  8. Since we are actually near the "vernal equinox", you already have a nearly equal amount of day to night. Only Mr. Page and I seem to understand this.
  9. You mean like four "normal guys just standing and playing" like Zep, The Who, and Black Sabbath? Weren't those shows an event? What you keep describing to me is a Madonna or Britney Spears concert. If anyone here could go back in time would they choose front row seats at a KISS event over Monterey Pop, Zep at the LA Forum, Sabbath at Montreux , Dylan electric at Newport Jazz? Those were events. No clown make up and KISS Army membership required.
  10. So they did not wear make up in the beginning?
  11. I heard a funny story. In the 1920s Stalin put the USSR on DLST one spring, but they forgot to turn the clocks back in the fall. Many decades later someone then discovered that the Russian clocks were an hour off.
  12. But those band didn't start out sucking. KISS remind me of the Monkies. Not a real organic band. Just made up with the idea of marketing comic books and action figures. And when sales slumped they tried disco and glam. I think I get it now.
