Obviously "Got Love For Sale" has never been played live by KISS or otherwise and I've always liked the song. To be expected, Gene does make a few mistakes here and there (seeing as he's never played it live) and forgets some of the lyrics but the bassline is generally pretty groovy. He also...

And yes, I know people DO own them obviously, but they just seem so financially outta reach at the moment, not realistically going to relieve my GAS anytime soon. :(

I actually first became aware of these when I saw Gene Simmons playing one but I saw another video of Doug Johns demo'ing the MVP 4 and that thing both sounds and looks beautiful. Love that clarity and the extra bark. I checked their website and holy damn are they expensive. I'm mainly wondering...

After he survived his cancer scare he seemed immortal to me, like he would never die. RIP

Oh yeah, playing 8th notes all day will be loads of fun :P Jk but seriously, you kinda even have to hand it to Cliff Williams for holding that tight ass AC/DC rhythm section together and not venturing off the main line. AC/DC's music is not suited to the kind of walking basslines with fills...

I love AC/DC but they aren't exactly lacking in the cheesy lyrics department. ;)

This x100. Everyone is getting so snobby and bent outta shape, this isn't a jazz symposium we're listening to, it's big dumb, balls to the wall hard rock. As a nice little trivia fact, I don't think alot of KISS' detractors (the ones saying they would've gotten nowhere without the makeup)...

;)

I'm trying to figure out exactly what the point of the article was, other than to downplay others' success, and simply label it as "dumb luck".

How's the Peavey VB3 vs the VB2?

A long time ago I had an active preamp Ibanez Soundgear and I was an idiot and left it plugged in for weeks or months at a time, not even using it, then I'd come back to it and wonder why the battery was dead and why I had to replace it every single time I turned the bass on again. lol.

Yeah I think it sounds sweet. Like I said, I think even with the errors he's making here and there, he's still doing some interesting creative little stuff there, throwing stuff in, etc, he's obviously got some ability. To me it's still more interesting than listening to alot of other rock...

I still maintain that, since KISS are fairly open about what was and was not played by whom, Gene played on the songs where credited. On the other hand, how the hell can I get this throaty heavy piano tone?!

To be quite honest, considering he has the makeup, the costume, the heels, constantly moving around etc, I'm surprised it even sounded as solid as it did. He obviously isn't a classically trained studio musician, idk what you were expecting to hear. I still think even with the sloppiness, his...

particular interest to me was Detroit Rock City at about the 1 hour and 6 minute mark. I really don't know how anyone could label this guy as "pedestrian" or even close to it. Nice stuff he's playing there!
