Scoot Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Although I admire Gene's pure love of music as an artform and his unwillingness to be influenced by the commercialization of the industry, I've never been a real big KISS fan. Have fun though! Ah, nice marmot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave64o Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I was trying to think of a similar reply but you put it far more elegantly and far more succinnctly that I could have possibly put it. Well Done!!!! -------------------- Dave O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcr Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 OUCH! Frankly, I really would like to go to a KISS show--the bigger, the gaudier, the tackier, the more ridiculous the better. I wouldn't go for the same reasons I'd go see the Flower Kings or the Flecktones, of course. It's about the show, and it sounds like a hoot. Have fun.

The Bear Jew Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I love Kiss. Always have. I loved 'em when I was a kid and just thought they looked cool, and I love 'em more now that can appreciate the music and the marketing involved in making the band so huge. Those guys didn't miss a trick and never skimped on anything. While nothing they ever did will blow anyone's mind musically, you really can't argue with the essential "rock" of it all. The songs did what they were supposed to do -- kick ass simply and directly without a lot of excess baggage. Kind of a musical comic book. Just fun, catchy stuff. And the live show... sheesh... ridiculous pyro, effects, lighting... man... nobody does that better than Kiss. What a fucking spectacle... Ace's smoking guitar... Gene spitting blood and fire and flying overhead... That stuff is great theater. Yeah, I know... It's immature and boorish... oh wait.. that's rock n' roll, isn't it? \m/ Erik "To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting." --Sun Tzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanYmaL X Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 C'mon, guys. KISS isn't/wasn't all that bad... I can name alot of groups that I'd prefer a KISS show to. And besides, KISS is all about the show, like dcr said... have a blast, sheX! and you know, without KISS, we'd never have this: http://webpages.charter.net/joyfulnoise/images/boinger.jpg Aerodyne Jazz Deluxe Pod X3 Live Roland Bolt-60 (modified) Genz Benz GBE250-C 2x10 Acoustic 2x12 cab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornbread_medhotmail.com Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I've seen Kiss both with and without the makeup and the makeup version is much better. I grew up on them, so it's hard for me to find fault with them. Kiss is all about the show. A lot of bands have gotten away from this aspect of the entertainment value and, personally, I'd like to see more of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibescotty Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Actually I would say that Kiss with a Symphony might be blasphemy in itself!!!
