Seriously. Why do I love rock and roll? Is it because of The Eagles? James Taylor? Billy Joel? (are they in the Rock Hall of Fame? ... i'm sure they will be... ).... NO.. I was 10 in 1976. I loved Spiderman... but... i started to think about girls. The idea of talking to one... or even holding a hand with one... or maybe... (IE see Ginger Grant.... the first red head I fell in love with)... was something I was entertaining... in 1976... SO ...what was better than KISS?.. Spiderman singing about getting LAID!
I saw KISS in 1977 @ The Capital Centre in Largo MD (DC suburb) .. the opening act was AC/DC (let there be rock tour... i bought the LP the NEXT day!).. and ANGEL was the next band (Hated them!!! they were the Anti- Kiss... do the research... but... now in 2010... i'd go see them before AC DC or KISS... love ya Punky!!)
Point is... how many rockers TODAY (2000-2010) .. or even YESTERDAY.. (1980-1999) <---- i 've defined ages by the way... LOVED KISS? Sure..Simmons is a tool.. Stanley is a lackey... and well.. it's NOT Criss or Frehley in the make up anymore.... but really... watching this clip.. makes me want to love rock again. Loneliness... and longing for a time when rock was all about rebellion... and grease paint... (and lunchboxes).
