KISS News Bits

[Mr Badguy]

I have downloaded the Kiss cd and I must say Im impressed, only heard it one time but I definitely enjoyed it. So its worth a listen. Maybe its because my expectations were pretty low

I agree.

It`s 100% better than "Psycho Circus".

Let`s not forget: It`s not art, it`s Kiss!

[Hellraiser!!]

I like the new disc!!! I'm gonna buy this for sure!!!

It's better than Psycho Circus and this new disc sounds a lot like Revenge....

Nobody's Perfect, Stand, Hot and Cold, Modern Day Delilah and Say Yeah are amazing!!!

BTW am I crazy or "Never Enough" sounds just like "Nothing but a Good Time" from Poison hehehe

[Antman]

It ain't KISS without Ace and Peter.

[Mr Badguy]

BTW am I crazy or "Never Enough" sounds just like "Nothing but a Good Time" from Poison hehehe

No shit.

It took me a couple of seconds then I realised.

Just like "Dreamin`" ripped off "I`m Eighteen".

[Terry]

So the new KISS album is better than Psychocircus and has tunes on it that sound like old Posion songs?

Man, I better scoop this new album up, but FAST!!

Kinda funny that one of the tunes sounds like Nothing But A Good Time, because the whole main/chorus riff in that tune is something that CC totally cribbed from the Ace Frehley school of rock licks to begin with!!

[Mr Badguy]

I listened to it another three or four times.

The more I hear it, the more I like it.

So it`s dumb and corny, like we were expecting anything else?

I`ve panned these guys for a long time for living off their past so I`ve got be happy that they`ve at least done something.

Poison ripped of Deuce's intro on Nothin' but a good time. So to review, KI$$ borrowed from Poison who borrowed from kiss who borrowed that from Neil Young's Cinnamon Girl. Sweet!

[Mr Walker]

Going off on a tangent with the Poison rip-offs... I always loved how Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick would call Poison out for stealing the riff of 'She's Tight' in 'Talk Dirty To Me', but he'll never acknowledge that the 'She's Tight' riff is a direct rip-off of Eddie Cochran's 'Something Else'.

[indeedido]

just another reason Thayer is a scam..........

Q. Is Ace Frehley still in the band?

A. No, Tommy Thayer has been in Ace's spot since 2002. Ace didn't want to do it any more, had to tackle some of his demons. This lineup, with me and Tommy and Paul and Gene, has been the same since '04.

that question shouldn't have even needed to be asked.

Neilsen is one to talk, as he's never met a riff he didn't wish to cop. Here is but one example. Compare this obscure Yardbirds tune with Trick's "Baby Loves To Rock".

Don't get me wrong, I adore Cheap Trick. But sometimes Rick Neilsen's mouth takes him to some fairly disingenuous places.

[Terry]

that question shouldn't have even needed to be asked.

It shouldn't have in one sense, but Stanley and Simmons weren't exactly forthright about it, either.

It wasn't like they were advertising shows post-2003 with the byline "Come See KISS: two originals and two imposters in makeup!!"

The band until the last year or so weren't going out of their way to mention that it was Thayer up there in Ace's getup or Singer in Peter's. Now, anyone with a brain should have known that, but I'd be willing to bet there were many casual fans who went to see KISS because they were an "event" band who didn't have the slightest idea...nor would they have cared much probably.

[indeedido]

been funny if they would have asked him if Peter was still in the band. burn!

[indeedido]

anyone notice $cab KI$$ has new costumes right, well as new as they are, Thayer still has nothing original. His pants are a tribute to Ace's current outfit.

[Mr. Vengeance]

Thayer looks like Courtney Cox in a KISS costume. Ace looks like a ROCKER.
