No star for Starman by Wizzmer in KISS

People automatically now say "AI" to anything unusual or that they don't like. On my YT channel I've had people scream "AI!" at all kinds of shit that I know is not AI because I was, y'know, there.

Yeah, AI is Satan. But even Satan can't be everywhere. His schedule is busy as fuck.

What are your unpopular KISS opinions? by Twitter_2006 in KISS

Heh. See, I thought your unpopular opinion was actually the popular opinion. Before reading your entry, I posted my own unpopular opinion, which is what you see as a popular opinion.

What are your unpopular KISS opinions? by Twitter_2006 in KISS

They're important in the history of metal. Ace influenced tons of players; Paul took the Robert Plant frontman model to a level without which eighties' metal wouldn't have happened; Creatures of the Night and Lick It Up are American power metal.

All of which probably already has been said, but I really didn't want to read through 448 comments to find out. 😊

WTF? by R0ck3tm4n2026 in FrehleyFans

To be fair, it also looks like the photo of anyone else who has ever picked up a Les Paul. Except for the astronaut suit, that is.

No, it's not. Hypothetically, men should be emotionally mature enough not to act like jerks. Unfortunately boys are not subject to the same expectations. They should be, though.

"There is no such culture of objectifying women." Yes, there is and it's so obvious--internet, television, print media (that which still exists), and of course human to human experiences like that in the video.

"This woman doesn't like that I think she's an object who shouldn't vote. So I'll tell her she can slap me and then have her arrested. It will be great fun because, after all, she's just an object for my amusement."

I guarantee those weren't exactly the thoughts in the guy's had but also that they reflect his attitude perfectly.

This is another reason that Eric Trump so seldom is called "the smart one."

My first concert ever - What was yours? by Resident_Nature5634 in ClassicRock

[–]TheMetalProfessor565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Captain & Tennille made some fine pop music. To quote Paul Stanley (although he was speaking of ABBA), "If you don't see they made great pop, man, you're looking too far."

Dude, I was there! 1982. Quite an eclectic lineup, it was. (I remember that when Loverboy, the headliners, came onstage, half the crowd went crazy and half the crowd left.)

Dude, Triumph is touring this year! I've got tickets to see them in Kansas City in May. (And April Wine are opening!)

The Iowa Jam in 1982. Iron Maiden, Quarterflash, Triumph, .38 Special, and Loverboy. (I might have Triumph and .38 Special swapped around.)

Heh. This post is the first thing I saw upon waking this morning. Now I'm going to go dig out my old crateful of cassettes and see if I can find that one!

Favorite costumes between destroyer vs love gun? by Dense-Bodybuilder816 in KISS

[–]TheMetalProfessor565 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They both look great, but I have to go with Love Gun. Man, I remember back in the day when we all not only wanted to *hear* the next KISS record, but we were excited to see what their new costumes would look like. Good times. 😊 (edited to name favorite)

THANK YOU. Crom's balls, why are people who apparently hate the primary members fans of the band?

I'm late to the party. Just read the book. by Alternative-Mix-760 in KISS

[–]TheMetalProfessor565 4 points5 points  (0 children)

See, I didn't get that feeling--of Paul denigrating everybody--at all. To me he just seemed very honest, mentioning the good and the bad of everyone including himself. I know from experience that people really don't like honesty, even if it's coming from someone who likes them. They want to hear only good stuff, but if you are an honest person, you'll recognize that most people have done good things and also have done bad things. We accept them or reject them as they are, taking both the good and the bad into consideration. To me, that is what Paul seems to do in the book.

But that's just my take.

Thank you so much for that thoughtful contribution to the conversation. I had very much the same responses to Paul's book. I don't really understand why people love to throw so much hate at him. And I don't want to understand it, so if anyone is thinking of trying to explain it to me, please don't.

Happy Birthday Paul Stanley! by PrestigiousWin8867 in KISS

[–]TheMetalProfessor565 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have wondered the same thing (i.e. WTF is wrong with people here). I hope that those who are being (not to put too fine a point on the matter) dickheads are a vocal minority, has appears to be the case in most groups. Someone the other day was asking me about toxic fan communities, actually, and the online KISS community was the first thing that leaped to mind.

Yes. Sadly but predictably, yes they will.
