      I saw him about two years ago and was fortunate enough to get his set list from the stage where he left it (I was in the front row) He came out after and signed albums/CDs he was selling and was very gracius. He was scheduled to tour this fall with Karla Bonoff.

    I just want to give a shout out to the person who rejected my friend request.
    Seriously. It takes some major kahones to turn down the site owner’s friend request and I actually made a joke about this exact situation to my son when I was building the site. I actually thought it would be a pretty rock and roll move!

            Music is art. It’s subjective. I was just having a little fun with you and even more fun with Kiss fans. My tastes are pretty wide. My kids were shocked that I like some Rhianna and country songs and kid me about me.

      Back in the day, REO Speedwagon and, for the most part, Van Halen. These bands were really popular when I was in HS. Add Kiss to the list a little earlier. Just plain terrible, IMO. I still won’t forget the day my closest cousin — who was like a brother — told me at around age 13, that he decided that Kiss was a better band than Zeppelin.…Read More

        And then the 2nd Disk: Live Though This: Came out and everyone went crazy for that, and I still didn’t like the band.

          I would side with you regarding Hole and Boston. While I always liked Boston, I think I took Brad Delp’s voice for granted and didn’t even realize how good his vocals were on those classic albums until many years later. Now, Longtime is playing in my head. That was huge when I was a kid, and I loved it and still do. I suppose this is driving me to…Read More

      Total egomaniac with obvious anger management issues. Having worked as a drummer as a hired gun a lot, I’m familiar with working for ill tempered egomaniacs and have witnessed prima donna singers explode and throw a punch on stage, although never at me.

      Live is an awesome band Throwing Copper rocks.

Live is only the original lead singer of the band, who doesn’t get along with his former bandmates, so he sued, is using the band name, and has a bunch of different musicians. Soul Asylum is also only the lead singer. STP the original musicians with a different lead singer who…Read More
