KISS - Sonic Boom

[BUTT]

Watch out, he gets offended if you call him Dan.

 

[BUTT]

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.

There are only two 90s Aerosmith albums and I only ever really liked one of them (Get A Grip), though the release of Nine Lives was one of the most important events in my 6th grade life. It failed to live up to the hype. "Hole in My Soul" more like hole in my butt

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

"Love In An Elevator" might be the worst song that I like. I'm a sucker for dudes harmonizing.

 

[BUTT]

REAL MEN BONING BLOOPERS

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I think Gary Floyd's found a new username!

 

[BUTT]

Only if REAL MEN BONING BLOOPERS is the name of some critically acclaimed horror movie or band/song that shows off his Good Taste In Things.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

You're right, it's more like something Czech would use at TOTSM.

 

[Gary]

Only if REAL MEN BONING BLOOPERS is the name of some critically acclaimed horror movie or band/song that shows off his Good Taste In Things.

No, it's a good name. Maybe a name change is in order-time to make my name REAL MEN BONING BLOOPERS

Edit: Fuck, this may take awhile

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

I almost started a REAL MEN BONING BLOOPERS thread in TiRTS but fortunately, thought better of it at the last second.

 

[Gary]

Fuck it, I quit. No name change sadly-this is too much work.

 

[Agent of Oblivion]

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

Fucking do it.

 

[pochorenella]

Beth rules.

True that. It may be one of KISS' most famous songs but the band's best are the arena rockers.

Cute story: I got married a couple of months ago and all of my friends, knowing what a huge KISS fan I am, kept asking me if I was gonna do something crazy like showing up at the wedding in KISS makeup or something. They also asked me if there was gonna be KISS music at the wedding and I said yes, while my bride-to-be kept giving me this "don't you dare" look, figuring I'd go with something heavy like "War Machine" or the like and ruin the reception. When it was time for our wedding dance I signaled the DJ and he played "Forever". The wife cries, we dance, I fulfill my "threat", the guests applaud, everybody happy.

And, oh yeah. The groom figure on the wedding cake had Ace Frehley's KISS make up painted on.

 

[Youth N Asia]

The only KISS related song I like is Ace's "Back in the (or a) New York Groove."

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

You're also totally forgetting Music From "The Elder" (which I'm shocked Gary Floyd hasn't brought up and made fun of yet)!

*Sheds tear like Paul Stanley.

Gene Simmons, you meatball!

I'm listening to Best of Both Worlds and man, I forgot how much I loved "Can't Stop Loving You" when I was an 8 year old VH1 fanatic. It's really just a 90sized version of "Why Can't This Be Love?"

 

[pochorenella]

Van Hagar really hit bottom with Balance. Well, OU812 was also massive crap but they rebounded nicely with For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge and the incredible "Poundcake" so I initially thought it was just a hiccup. How wrong I was. 5150 remains the best effort from the Sammy Hagar years.
And of course, nothing can touch Van Halen's debut album as far as Roth era goes. It is quite simply one of the greatest rock albums of all time. First time I heard "Eruption" (a good 27 years ago) I was totally blown away.

 

[tonyjaymz03]

KISS is horrible.

 

[The Coat Is My Father]

KISS is horrible.

I have a morbid fascination with this band, particularly their power ballads.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Yes! "Great Expectations" may be my 2nd favorite, batshit insane KISS deep cut.

#1?

Kiss - Hotter Than Hell - 03 - Goin' Blind


And this song can't be all that bad for you, hipsters. The Melvins did a cover of it! You guys like them, right?
Melvins - Goin' Blind

 

[The Coat Is My Father]

That song is not very batshit insane.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

It's about a 93 year old blind guy in a doomed love relationship with a 16 year old mermaid! What more do you want? Production-wise, it's very sludgy. Not grandiose at all like "Great Expectations" but in terms of subject matter...I mean, how is it not batshit insane?

 

[vivisectvi]

If I had to rank the 6 albums from these guys from the era (74-77) that I'm willing to even remotely listen to.. it'd be:

1975 Dressed to Kill
1976 Destroyer
1974 Hotter Than Hell
1976 Rock and Roll Over
1974 Kiss
1977 Love Gun

Anyone else?

 

[Agent of Oblivion]

I like a few KISS songs well enough, but I can't say I can put any of them to this album or that one. I feel the same way about The Cure.

 

[vivisectvi]

I know exactly what you mean, there. Every Cure song I like is on Galore or the other Greatest Hits CD.. that said, the self-titled album from them a few years back is probably the only non-hits album I can listen to from start to finish without skipping a song.

 

[Cackling Co Pilot Kamala]

Anyone else?

Destroyer
Love Gun
Hotter Than Hell
KISS
Rock and Roll Over
Dressed to Kill

 

[pochorenella]

[wnyxmcneal]

Wrestling sucks

No it doesn't. It's pretty awesome, in fact

 

[Rendclaw]

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

Fucking do it.

Hah, only Agent could make that sentence sound like both a threat and granting permission at the exact same time.

Van Halen: Fair Warning was the band's "maturation" point. I liked the Van Hagar era, but I really hate EVH giving Sammy and Mike Anthony the bum's rush. EVH, Lance Armstrong... what is it about surviving cancer that makes you turn into a gigantic asshole? If that's the price you pay for living for a few more years, I think I'd rather die.

KISS: Destroyer is the be all and end all for me. I remember my brother bringing that album home in 1976, and listening to Detroit Rock City scared the everloving shit out of me, but listening to Beth kind of brought me back. Everything else was just filler until Taz started using War Machine as his ring entrance music.

Though I can't think of KISS without thinking of my favorite kid's science show, 3-2-1 Contact. They were doing a week long thing about sounds, and I think the first or second show had footage from a live KISS concert in it, and they were playing King of the Nighttime World.

This...this, is what posting's all about.

I remember that episode (dude, we're OLD), and what was a lasting impression on me was that it was the first time I ever saw Ace Frehley's pyro-shooting Les Paul. It blew my mind they did that.
