But the overblown ego for the minimal talent never makes sense to me. But people want their rockstars egotistical, it's strange. Kiss got famous because they presented themselves as gods, in reality, their music is pretty generic.
I really really don't like kiss.

He's seen more...
He's done more....
Than any dozen of us combined 
I took guitar & bass lessons from a KISS insider credited on most releases as "Doc", jammed with Doc & Peter, sat in Ace's central park west apartment before a Comet show (and swiped a Guitar player mag off his coffee table)....
I think "Beth" is the only KISS tune I can make it through without turning it off  |

He's not up there showing off chops, he's there to make sure the crowd's having fun and giving him their money. And in the bass solo instance, to give the rest of the band a 4-minute breather. |

You don't have a career like that by sucking. Personally, I'd much rather listen to Gene's solo in that clip than watching Jeff Berlin run modes for an hour, or watch Billy Sheehan whack himself off with his tuneless noodling. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
