If we ever do a TRTSM Roast then pbone has to be on the dais. Czech too but that's a given.

Have we ever done a TSM roast(not counting this; http://forums.thesmartmarks.com/index.php?showtopic=95306)? Seems like something that was done around the time I joined in '02/'03. I remember suggesting a TSM Olympics right after the TSM Olympics and being laughed out of whatever the No Holds Barred folder was at the time. :'(

Big Green.

If I should ever get married, I'm not doing it without The Roast of The Czech Republic as a sendoff.

 

[BUTT]

I've never heard the opinion expressed that one has to leave TSM to get married, or that one has to get married before they can leave TSM, but OK.

Agent's getting married in a few weeks. Let's roast him.

He has too many weapons, and too many key posters live within driving distance.

It's already in the POTD thread for all to see.

Yeah, but so does Alfdogg.

Well, sendoff to a single life of boarding hard. And what better time to be eviscerated by everyone at once.

The best KISS song is there is no best KISS song.

I don't know what the best KISS song is, but the worst is undoubtedly "Beth." That song might actually be the worst power ballad ever attempted by a hard rock band, as no amount of studio trickery or syrupy strings can disguise the fact that Peter Criss can't sing for shit and the song is lame as hell.

 

[vivisectvi]

That's why I said either disco or shitty hairspray rock/metal.

 

[Kinetic]

That's not even a real live album, you meatball.

To be fair, it's no more fake than most live rock albums. Now Alive II is a totally fucking fake album.

I don't have any issue with the overdubbed-into-oblivion live albums of the '70s. Just the pretense of it being a live document helped to elevate merely passable material like Cheap Trick's pre-Live at Budokan output or the solo works of Peter Frampton into the realm of the sublime.

It's the KISS apologist in me, I'm sure but I like Peter Criss' voice. It has a homeless man's Rod Stewart quality to it. I'll never fail to sing along to "Hard Luck Woman".

 

[Kinetic]

And, y'know, there's a time and a place for songs like "I Was Made For Loving You," the most famous of KISS's forays into disco. The place is a county fair. The time is any time that I'm drunk.

 

[The Coat Is My Father]

I was disappointed that Peter Criss's solo album (I recently picked up all four on vinyl for a combined cost of eight dollars) wasn't all Beth styled piano ballads.

Beth rules.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Peter Criss' solo album may be the worst musical product ever to be branded with the KISS logo. That's really saying something.

 

[Dobbs3K]

As far as Van Halen, "Poundcake" is fun for the intro. Good song to test out a new subwoofer with.

That there's the best of all possible worlds, Kamala.

I actually, and this is true, had a dream the other night where I was listening to a 90s Aerosmith album. When I woke up, all I could think about was BUTT.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Butt?

 

[Red Baron]

gross.

 

[Mickey Massuco]

Czech's post about Gary was one of the more cleverererer things I've seen on the board. Good on you Danny boy.
