Isn't it bad enough that the Ramones are in there? How is that? They wrote their own songs, played their own instruments and influenced untold numbers of musicians (for better or worse) with their back to basics form of rock n' roll. If they and the Sex Pistols weren't in there then something would...

Whether it be this or any other major news event, whenever I turn on the cable news (not just CNN), I'm reminded of the Don Henley lyric, "She can tell you about the plane crash with a gleam in her eye". It's as though some of the media gets some sort of perverse pleasure out of reporting ...

Metallica asking Kiss onstage.

One is the genuine deal ond one is the poseur.
I don't get the comparison either. Is Kiss supposed to be the "geniune deal"?

Yep, like Math Suks, Why Don't We Get Drunk (and Screw), Domino College, ...

Last I heard, Joe Walsh was suffering from arthritis and had to have the Eagles' new guitar player (the one that replaced Don Felder) cover a lot for him.

Re: It's a true shame

At the same time for an artist like Jimmy to do this, especially with the battle he has had over the years just to get his songs on the Radio, is taking away an avenue that I have seen personally bring more fans into his following. I'm curious as to what "battle" you're refering to. To my...

Don't the revenues have something to do with the establishment owning the TouchTunes jukeboxes as opposed to leasing them? In addition to no Beatles, TouchTunes doesn't have any Led Zeppelin but that's because neither of those artists have granted permission to have their songs downloaded. Well, the...

Isn't 13 years of age about right for the average age for losing one's virginity? Now, losing it in a classroom is another matter entirely. Well, except for maybe in Spears country.

Re: Kiss vs. Buffett

I think the deadheads are getting jealous as well. I tried asking this once already but I'll try again. How is that? There is nothing better than the real thing. With the passing of Jerry, it is more remembering what was. The deadheads are very loyal and will probably be around forever but it is no...

Kiss is still big business, after all they are on their 15th Farewell Tour. Actually I just read something where Simmons turned down an offer to do a tour that would include Ace and Peter (who he ousted from the band in recent years due to alcohol and drug abuse). That's not to say he won't mount a...

is something like this what you had in mind? Yes, it is except I could do without all of the radio edits. I'd much rather that space be devoted to more rare material. I also second the notion for the release of archival live recordings in the manner of Dylan's Bootleg Series, the Grateful Dead's Di...
