I meant that Perry might have been quoting from another lyric. I don't know the blockheads, how old is said song? This thing was on an intro to a song on ritual de lo habitual from the very early 90s

Everything amazing on that album except Been Caught Steeling otherwise brilliant album.

According to KISS | Gene Simmons | LoBue custom bass the whereabout of the Lobue is surrounded in mystery:

"Exactly what happens to the LoBue is matter of some confusion. In 1978 Gene recalled that: "[I used that bass] For about four years, until one night I threw it to my roadie. At the end of our show walk offstage and I throw the guitar off the stage, and everyone gasps. That one night he dropped it and the neck broke in half." [*] Spiro of tribute band fame has mentioned that Gene told him it was stolen while being away for repairs after Gene "fell off the front of the stage". Gene had another story in 1996: "A couple of years later I lent it to Micki Free, whose band Smokehouse opened for us once, and never saw it again." In a 2013 interview at G-Club in Tokyo Gene threw another wrinkle to the story of the LoBue's demise, this time suggesting that he used the bass on stage in 1982 when he fell off the front of the stage, cracked the neck and promptly gave the pieces to a member of the audience.

Seeing how Gene is, shall we say, slightly inconsistent and prone to exaggeration methinks it's best to take the word of one of the participants of one of the stories. According to Micki Free the story is true that Gene lent him the bass and that it was subsequently stolen while in his posession."

So maybe the neck was broken and maybe the bass was stolen... Only Gene knows...

How could he possibly know anything about anything during those years?, with all of the sex, drugs, money,fame excess and rock n roll how does one key in on detail?. One weekend of blacking out and I dont remember a thing.

I remember this being much more of a punk song, but now I think it is more of a pop song with punk lyrics. Funny how things were perceived in youth.

It was in the flow, and part of, a movement. The Sex Pistols' " Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols" was in fact a straight-ahead, kick-ass rock record.

Punk is attitude, nothing more.

Optimist....

Optimist, or, him brain broken.

Gene, according to him, never did drugs and didn't/doesn't drink to excess so his memory should be good.

I remember Gene saying that when Rush was opening for them they found it odd that Rush didnt party, witch led me to believe that Kiss did. Never been a Kiss fan so I really dont know.

I don't think it's possible to do what Rush did without being stone cold sober. Same with Frank Zappa. His bad habit was coffee.

In interviews, Geddy has said that they always treated the music as a very serious career, and you don't show up to work drunk or high. So they always performed sober.

 

[JJR58]

I've seen Frank a lot when he'd come here for his Hollween shows '75-'81. (Well not always Halloween), and I've never seen Rush live. If you look at their eyes, you know they ain't high.

Damn excellent backing band the Blockheads. Don't know who any of them are/were but they were good.

 

[Korladis]

I like musicals that are also documentary, like "Grease". I had no idea that kids did so much singing and dancing back in the '50s. I guess I was just too young to remember.

Ugh, I hate that one.

Mint natural finish 76 Gibson Bird is on craigslist for $3000.

Sounds like the band needs a tumor removal.
No disrspect intended.

 

[Korladis]

Even Olivia Newton John in tight leather pants?

Yes. The whole plot, theme, and all the songs from Grease.

"Change everything about yourself to appeal to some guy who's kind of a prick."


Also, I don't need to watch a crappy musical to see attractive women in tight pants. I can just go to a local show.
