Tough crowd.

I knew I should have led with "Tommy Thayer has announced his upcoming replacement"

Oh god.

I like Tommy Thayer, to be fair. Black n Blue is not bad. Neither was Kold Gin.

If you get the reference I made, good job! Lol

I actually like Tommy Thayer too

 

[Spaced Out Ace]

Without Tommy, we'd be referring to this dude as Adam Brenner still. Wtf.

This thread just circumnavigated the Planet.

Yeah, they sell out the venue down here regularly and the overwhelming majority of the audience is about 15 years younger than I am (in their 20’s) and the crowd response jumps between concert/comedian audience response. They won’t be going away any time soon and I’m happy for that.

If I got sick of dick and fart jokes, I’d have stopped entertaining myself about 35 years ago.

They started the band in the early 00's as Metal Skool, I was in LA back then so I've known these guys since then. It seems like 80s glam rock has been seeing a bit of a renewed interest lately, but back then, the only way to play this kind of music was to do it as a joke. So that's what they did and it worked.

All these guys are seriously great musicians though. And really good guys too boot. I'd like to see a "serious" record by them one day, that would be cool. Although it's debatable if this style of music was ever serious to begin with. It's always been tongue in cheek for the most part... But their jokes don't bother me, especially since the musicianship behind more than makes up for it.

@GuitarBilly Speaking of tongue firmly in cheek (her cheek), taking Gene's tracks from the KISS albums and making one album from two albums is great. COTN/LiU for instance.

And let's not forget his finest moment in Animalize when not only he wrote a song called Burn Bitch Burn but also came up with the lyric "Let me put my log in your fireplace"

Animalize is awesome \m/

Now we're fucking talking! Mark St John smokes Vinnie Vincent. His ideas are better than Vinnie's for sure. I like Gene's tracks on Animalize and Asylum.

By the way, Paul's lyrics for the Get All You Can Take chorus (and the story behind it) are great. @GuitarBilly don't forget, "lemme be your king bee, I want your hornets nest." Lol

I like pretty much all of 80s KISS. Actually I like everything KISS has done. That was the band that got me into playing so they're always going to be special for me.

Hell yeah! Same here. Well, actually, I find LIU to be kind of overrated trash among KISS fans. 3-4 good to great tracks, while the rest is dog shit. COTN and Animalize kick its ass for lunch money. I really like some of Gene's tracks on HITS. Vini Poncia was supposed to, I believe, come back to produce that album, but they produced it themselves to save money. That's why there is some rather odd/experimental ideas on the album at times.

There’s a video out there somewhere of Patton being asked what he thinks of pioneering nu metal, “Ohhhh no, don’t blame that sh*t on me!”

But it’s true; FNM was a huge influence on those bands and they all admit it they were huge FNM fans. Chino and Davis are both big Patton fans with them citing both FNM and Bungle as influences and the rhythm section influence of FNM sealed the rest of the nu metal deal.

This drum groove slowed down is like 3/4’s of the first two Korn albums.

I grew up with the Cavalera brothers ( I am originally from Brazil) and we're still good friends... so every single time I talk to one them I have to say "here comes the fathers of nu metal" and it pisses them off to no end lol
