A Monster and the pink elephant
It has been a couple of busy weeks in this ‘Kissworld’ and on all the Kiss forums on the Internet. At first we had the Opening of Kiss Monster Mini Golf. An event that probably would not have gained much publicity if Kiss had not been there themselves. Not something that I really care much for myself. But It was fun seeing a complete band without makeup looking real good. The ‘golf thing’ in itself doesn’t bother me at all, I just find It a little goofy. Just as getting married in a Kiss chapel. It’s just not for me… But if Gene & Paul can earn money from It the more power to them.
On March 20th Kiss both had a press-conference with Mötley Crüe announcing “The Tour” they are playing this summer, and played four songs on Jimmy Kimmel.
The press conference was also the debut of the new Monster outfits. I’m still on the fence about them. But I have always had problems with new outfits. So they probably will sink in sooner or later. The only thing I know I will continue to have problems with are Gene’s ‘unbrushed’ dinosaur teeth. They just make him look to big. And there is something about how they are positioned so they look as they are put on the wrong way. The feather shoulder pads Paul had on the press conference and on Kimmel I have no problem with. It’s the top with all the silver details that looked a little strange to me. But as I said, both outfits will probably grow on me. Continue reading
Just got through a couple of more months with more sick parents and kids. It’s safe to say I’m more than tired of all that stuff. But the spring is coming soon so life will probably get better in general.
September is is almost over and my last ‘rambling’ post was quite piss poor, so I thought I would write a little about the music business and ‘record’ stores that are really starting to piss me off. I was involved in a discussion on Facebook about ‘physical media’ last night and It suddenly hit me that I could have problems to get the next Kiss release ‘Monster’ on the release date like I have with all records since Dynasty came out in 1979. Maybe It will be the first Kiss release I will have to order online to hear It at all.
September has almost come and gone and I haven’t been able to update these pages as much as I want. Time just goes to fast and there is to much to do. I probably also have a little ‘Kiss depression’ because I’m not able to go on the Kiss Kruise. So I have been listening to Uriah Heep and the new Alice Cooper record ‘Welcome 2 My Nightmare’ a lot the last couple of weeks. And I really have to recommend the Cooper record if your an Alice fan. I haven’t had a record on that high rotation since Sonic Boom came out in 2009. I really hope the new Kiss record ‘Monster’ will be as good as ‘Welcome 2 My Nightmare’.
