Its been a long time since I last posted something here. To be honest I haven't had much time or any ideas on what to write about. Luckily for me and you out there I found a story.
I'm a huge KISS fan, it was the first true rock and roll band I started listening to in an early age of 10. I instantly fell in love with the music and shortly after all the other great rock bands followed me into my CD-shelf. I have almost every CD available to man in my collection. In my youth I used to go to record stores, pick out KISS-albums that I didn't have and listened to them there for a while, before buying and bringing them home where I read the booklets cover to cover while listening.
Its no secret that Gene and Paul are sell-outs and do almost anything for a little more "green" in their wallets. And now the latest story, they signed a contract with Hello Kitty to make some new toys in kiss make-up. Hello Kitty toys.... In KISS make-up. I have officially upgraded them to "They will do anything for money".
I for one, will try to block this out of my rock and roll world and try to remember the good old crazy rock bands as the way they were and the way most of them still are! Heavy, scary to old women, fire, black leather and crazy out of their minds. Or at least KISS. Most of the good old heavy rockers are still playing their role as they should. Thank God, or whatever higher being that allowed this fine work of art to blast through my speakers!
Until next time!

I agree, KISS has become sellouts in most ways. The music they make reflects from their choices as a band, its not as good as it used to be, they are too rich to make quality music anymore.
