So Scott says Jon and I are stuck in the South but we should be celebrating Halloween. Well, I'll celebrate Halloween with the most dressed as rock star ever. It's the Demon, which screams Halloween as well. You know you've dressed as Gene at least once on Halloween. You enjoyed doing the makeup. But the costume was more difficult. Especially the boots. But you did it. And so did your friends. People, kids and adults, still do it. Gene was a down right scary creature back in 1978. Until this album came out. Then he lost his edge. But this album is better than you think. And you all have Scott to blame for having to listen to it this week.

Of course, if you were adding the Dynasty album from '79, since that was after this solo album, I'd add both Gene songs from that album, Charisma and X-Ray Eyes, to the list, with Charisma taking it's Top 10 place at number 5 and everything below that moving down one spot, which would kick War Machine off of the Top 10 Gene Simmons Kiss Songs Of The 1980's list.
To avoid any misunderstandings: I DID say AFTER 1979, and I've always said, that "Dynasty" was the last real KISS-album, and the two Simmons-songs on that album are great. "Dynasty" is in my top 5 over KISS-albums. And THEN it went terrible wrong!!!!
I was going to listen to this today, but decided I could hold off for at least 13 hours or so. Just seems like the wise thing to do. Besides, I wanted to listen to an album about a bird that flat-out didn't wanna sing.
I've got a bird for ya...
Sigh...of course this just HAD to turn into a Kiss discussion.
Jon's Tears Are Falling...
There are no birthdays today
