Ronnie James Dio passes

Speaking of KISS, when I was a lil kid, I loved that band. And I still like 'em to an extent, but Gene's marketing of that band has become a turn off to a degree. I guess it's just me, but when a band's marketing overshadows the music for decades on end, it makes ya wonder why anyone would let that happen. KISS isn't the most talented band on the block, but there are many who are way worse. It's just the marketing of the band that I don't like I guess.

Gene Simmons gets on my nerves. Turned me against Kiss

Kiss' last horrah was Revenge, probably one of their top 3 albums. Seems like lately, all Gene Simmons thinks about is milking the Kiss cow for $. In a way I don't blame him, but if you watch Gene Simmons: Family Jewels, it seems nothing short of sleaze.
