I caved and got KISS tickets tonight. Not my KISS and all but I realise it will absolutely be the last chance I'll ever have to see any form of it.

There are certain bands who put enough into the theatrics that they're still worth seeing well after the fact.

Others have a definite use-by date after which you're paying big money to watch geriatrics mumble into an auto-cue.

By the by, Iron Maiden just solved my Christmas shopping.

Never been a huge Maiden fan outside the classics. Was always more a fan of the cover art.

Apparently the KISS concert has been moved from this Saturday to a Tuesday early next month. Not ******* happy about that.

One perk of such a long career is the setlist is all classics.

Yeah I got my ticket on Tuesday to Maiden. Have you seen their set lists for this tour? It's been the same over the last few months, whether it's still the same in May is unknown, but bloody hell it's like a Greatest Hits.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Doing my best not to look. I saw them ten years ago or so on the 80s-focused tour and they were fantastic, even on the lesser tracks. It's heavy metal theatre really.

Edit: Somewhere Back In Time, it was.


Seems like whatever the tour is, poor Nicko's stuck in that foxhole so Bruce can run and jump around the top like a madman.

Actually, here's the exact show I was at:

I've seen them at Soundwave and on their Book Of Souls tour. I also watched religiously during my high school years the Live After Death and Maiden England videos.

I can't wait, they're in my top 2 or 3 bands of all time.

Yeah I'm not surprised tbh. I am the KISS of death. First George Michael and now this.

May as well buy Maiden tickets.

Nobody wanted to actually see them did they?

New Violent Soho dropped today. Pretty nice.

This one is even better, has a smashing pumpkins vibe

Like the band experimenting as they have been very consistent for years to have the same sort of sound and still kick ass, don’t mind it at all

John Frusciante has apparently rejoined RHCP. Again.

RHCP need John and John needs RHCP. Neither are better without the other. Even John's solo releases are stronger when he is has been an RHCP member.

Also, I haven't listened to them for about 10 years and I think I'll only listen to their new stuff (if any) out of curiosity as they got a bit same-same with their songs.

Poor Josh though. Was a decent replacement but he copped a decade of "you're not John".

I wouldnt be surprised if RHCP need John more than he needs them. They pretty much aren't RHCP without him. I listened to the first album after he left and it was rubbish. I don't even know if there's been more as I quickly realised without John I just don't care.

 

[DapperJong]

Can he not do those stupid vocal harmonies? Don’t even give him a mic

Were they RHCP before he joined the first time?

They certainly were. There are many RHCP fans who can't listen to anything past Mother's Milk. But to me, that stuff sounds soooo dated and s**t. But it's 100% RHCP.

I'm in the same boat.

Shadows Collide with People and The Empyrean are two pretty good solo releases of John's. You can definitely hear the influence the By the Way recording sessions had on SCWP (or maybe the other way around).

I know you're taking the piss but there wasn't much chance of Hillel rejoining. There's no doubt in my mind that John has made the greater contribution and defines that band more than Hillel which is sad in a way but I'm not sorry to say it.
