Re: Band: KISS

I think I could put together a 70's makeup best of and (a substantially weaker) 80's hair metal best of at this point. It *just* comes together on *just* enough tunes to stop me from totally writing them off. But they didn't make one good album. (Maybe Revenge comes close.) Not a 'good' band. Musica...

Re: SunnO)))

Re: Thunderdome: Embrace vs Pailhead

Pailhead is a fucking blast; love those songs, some of Barker's greatest bass lines, Ian's final scream on 'Man Should Surrender' is one of the best ever recorded, top tier IMO... Embrace just isn't fully formed and never got the chance to develop, everyone is reaching outside of their harDCore root...
