KISS Dorks

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Bah gawd. It’s a summit of two childhood heroes that I would never expect.

Name a more iconic duo.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

The original space cat men imo,
I’m amazed Peter is still alive. Ace too, for that matter. Fuckin legends.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

From what I've heard, for all the grief she gets for being a control freak, Peter Criss' wife Gigi does a good job of keeping healthy. Peter actually looked fairly decent for a 76 year old, mostly retired hard rock drummer during his appearances earlier this year.

How Ace stays alive and relatively intact, I'm not sure.

Klassic Album Klash – Kiss Crazy Nights vs Revenge with Kuarantine - Talk Is Jericho

The Classic Album Clash is back, and this time it’s all about non-makeup KISS – 1987’s “Crazy Nights” vs 1991’s “Revenge.” And joining in the track-by-track analysis and trivia fun are Kuarantine – bassist PJ Farley, guitarists Joe McGinness and Charlie Parra, and drummer Kent Slucher. They talk...

How’d I miss this? Glad to see Crazy Nights get the proper respect as one of the best non makeup albums IMO.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

Idk about all that, but "I'll Fight Hell to Hold You" is a goddamn BANGER

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Vocally, Starchild was on fire during that era.

Idk how “Turn on the Night” wasn’t a massive Top 10 pop hit. Of course, anytime I bring up that song, I have to point out the music video was filmed at the Worcester Centrum, @Laz .

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

Is "Burn Bitch Burn" the only example of the band trying to be "edgy" with their lyrics? (in words, not in content).

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Revenge had some very sleazy moments. But really a solid 40 to 60% of their songs are filled with crude double entendres.

Listening to this rn finally. I've had a lot of mixed feelings about Chris Jericho the past few years but the fact that he cited "My Way" as one of the most inspirational songs in his life is one of the reasons I'll always kind of love him.

(His other favorite song on the album is "I'll Fight Hell to Hold You" and thought "When friends turn into strangers, does anybody care?" is one of the most profound lyrics of all time, @Mickey Massuco .

 

[Mickey Massuco]

It is profound. I don’t remember My Way moving me too much on first listen, but I’ll give it another shot.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

“My Way” is like Paul Stanley’s submission for Journey’s Raised on Radio.

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

Tell us how you really feel, Eddie.

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

Eric Carr died 31 years ago today.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I wish they hadn't waited until his last album with the band to give him his own track (Rerecording of "Beth" with him singing lead doesn't really count).

[Mickey Massuco]

That’s fucking slander you ask me.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

People are still waiting on their Blu Rays from KISS show on New Year's Eve 2020!

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

I remember seeing the KISS waffle maker on my Facebook feed a few years ago. Went to grab my credit card before thinking what the hell was wrong with me.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I got a KISS Unmasked 40th anniversary t-shirt from their website that wore out after being washed once.


I guess it shows you how little they think of that album.

 

[BruiserBrody]

@Holiday Spice Kamala Did you hold your nose over your dislike for Bill Maher and listen to last week's "Club Random" podcast with Gene?

It was fine but Gene is still in his last season of "Family Jewels" mode where Shannon has his balls in her purse.
He did confirm burning the albums full of his "groupies I fucked" polaroids was a shoot.
Bill gives him shit about burning it and also about how he didn't really repent for all the fucking around, he just turned 60 and stopped being so fucking horny all the time.
The other best part was Gene declaring that podcasts don't make money, otherwise he'd be doing one and Maher defending his pod.
Gene is also MAGA -lite, although he says KISS and the fanbase is politically neutral.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Weirdly, Gene Simmons has done several podcast appearances lately. I already heard him on Dean Delray and Howie Mandel’s podcasts so no need to listen to GD Bill Maher.

I’d say Gene is more like a classic neocon then MAGA. He is very adamantly pro vaccination & masking and has talked a bunch about how anti vaxxers have no right to participate in public life and put his health at risk, for example.

And KISS did turn down the invitation to perform at Trump’s inauguration. Although I am guessing that is due to peer pressure from his wife and Paul (who is a Democrat even though I think I have heard him use the same politically neutral line).


Ace Frehley is definitely a MAGA guy though. Sorry folks!

 

[Mickey Massuco]

And ace is by far the coolest one, proof that you shouldn’t pay too much attention to a persons politics when getting to know them.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I mean Ace did dress up as a Nazi and chase Paul Stanley when KISS toured Japan in the '70s so it's no surprise he'd find Trump's style of politics appealing.

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

I hope Peter Criss isn't a MAGA dude. I can totally see Bruce Kulick being one, though.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

What about the Ankh Warrior's political affiliation, Epic?

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

Didn't they come out as trans? I would definitely think that's not MAGA mentality.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Caitlyn Jenner says hello.

Vinnie hasn't publicly come out as trans/NB. It's just heavily rumored. Personally, I just think it's just what a 70 year old dude looks what he intentionally dressed up androgynously (as opposed to Paul & Gene who unintentionally dress up androgynously out of makeup)

Experts weigh in on the GOAT KISS solo album, @Mickey Massuco .

I like at least one song on this album now. I might be getting old enough to appreciate the blue eyed soul stylings of Catman.
