So, I have been a huge dork of a KISS fan my entire life. My dad took me to see them on the "Rock And Roll Over" tour in 1977 ....I was 3.

I still am and will always be a huge fan, but here is the review of the new KISS album "Monster" I sent to a couple of other dorks I know.

Dude, you nailed it. \m/

I, um, downloaded this the other day and gave it a quick listen. To me, it's an amalgam of any number of hard rock/hair band schtick, more like rock and roll salt water taffy with a thin plastic Kiss wrapper around it. Not objectionable, but nothing that wasn't done a thousand times before and lacking any punch that Kiss was known for in the early days. Everyone knows that Kiss has been corporate since the start, but this is just playing it safe. I can only imagine the focus groups and controlled testing behind the scenes. X-D

yeah, my dad took me and my two brothers (both 10 years older than me) to see KISS and Uriah Heep: January 11 1977 at Tingley Coliseum, Albuquerque, NM.

I was already a bigger fan of the band than both my bros. I can honestly say that the one moment that literally shaped my entire life........

after seeing the Paul Lynde Halloween Special I was doomed ....by rock and by cock!

It baffles me that Gene Simmons use of pun and idiom has not advanced. By this point he should be able to spout euphemisms that unravel like Merlin casting a magic spell. The sex puns should bounce off the mind like an MC Escher drawing, I mean they've had the time to perfect it. Unfortunately he's maintained the mental gymnastics of a hardcore Anime fan who was smart enough to have graduated early but can barely brag about not being a virgin ( ... )

I was only aware that a Destroyer special release was coming out, but I didn't know the details. When it came out I grabbed it for a listed expecting something major. It was hardly worth the effort. I had no idea it was meant to be such a major project. Talk about phoning it in.
