What makes these people think they can sell clothes, when they can’t even sell their own music?
“Hookers and Blow” – wow, I guess I’m supposed to be impressed by how decadent these guys are. Let me guess, they do drugs and hang out with porn stars, or at least they want to. I’m surprised no one’s gone with the Light/Heavy connotation lately, like Iron Butterfly, Led Zeppelin and Guns and Roses. BTW – If anyone is looking for a new band name, here’s my list:
The Crackwhores
Meth-Heads
Junk and the Mainliners
DP and the Penetrators
Tattooed Junkies
HIV Positive
The More-Ons
The LA Connection
Hollyweirdos
The Cork Soakers
The Spoon-needlers
The Astro-Gliders
No wonder I don’t care about 95% of the bands that came out after 1980.
Good ones. What about the genital tarts? Her-mitts and him-aroids? The crassholes? The lick-a-de-splits? We could go on forever….lol. Could make a fun word game about it. I would like to see the ALIVE guys though.
If you check out the youtube of Ron Bumblefoot singing Kiss, he sings it much better than Paul or Gene at this point.
I have no problem with Bumblefoot, as long as he’s not in GNR. There are only 2 people who are cut out to play in GNR and he’s neither. Kiss cover band–fine, I’m sure he’s awesome.
I hope these guys rearrange the KISS the songs a bit. No point in playing them exactly like KISS.
