SMASH OR TRASH - THE DEVIL IS ME (KISS)

[RJhog (Admin)]

Here's another new one from Monster.

The Devil Is Me

[Scott]

This is not helping the Brand grow, the songwriting has left the building ladies and gentlemen...  TRASH. 

Also...  Maybe I'm feeling jilted every time I see Thayer and Singer in somebody else makeup, but as a former hardcore fan its insulting.  The only thing more irritating is Lawrence Gowan pretending to be Dennis DeYoung.

SMASH-

Nice riffage, the only downside is the vocals. He seems to be singing in a lower key most of the time.

[Niels (Mod)]

Jon, you need to get out of the closet.

[Jon]

Nope!

[Scandal 2000]

Trash. I am beginning to think I just can't be objective when it comes to KISS. They have eight or nine songs I really, really like in their career, but for the most part I have never been a fan of theirs. I am a fan of most 70's and 80's hard rock, so I have never known why their music seldom ever does anything for me. I don't like some of Gene's antics, but usually I am able to separate the music from the business side of things. For instance, when Sharon Osbourne had the original bass and drums removed from an Ozzy remaster so they wouldn't have to pay royalities to Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake I was appalled, but I can't deny how much I enjoy most of Ozzy's Sabbath albums (except for Technical Ecstasy) and some of his early solo albums. I probably should stop offering my opinion on new KISS songs.

[Jon]

No, keep going! I'm not a fan of Kiss either (except, of course, for "The Elder") and thought I was the only one here not a fan of 'em. 

Maybe the peeps here are starting to wear me down since I like 2/3 songs that have been recently posted. Crap!

[RJhog (Admin)]

67%.  That's unbelievable.  

[Jon]

And I probably won't buy the album even though I have the last couple times.

[Niels (Mod)]

I'm with Scott on this subject. I can not take this band serious, as long as those two imposters are in Ace's and Peter's make Up. Even Vinnie Vincent could be taken kind of serious with his stupid make up, but not these guys.

This is utter TRASH!!! A typical Gene-song, like most of them have sounded since the Animalize-album.

[Mike Mills]

They're Kiss, they can put out anything & people will buy it. Right? The song is simple & Gene's vocals are bad. Not Good! TRASH
