Anagrams, schmagrams.

Let's not forget those awful bands having Satan talk to us through backwards and subliminal messages!

Here's a fun article on it.

Meanwhile there was a band in the 80s (and still around now) actually named "Satan" and none of the Jesus nuts batted an eye (to be fair they were a fairly obscure NWOBHM band at the time, but a great one).

The Rock and Brews at the casino in Milwaukee, WI is fantastic. The food is awesome and so are the drinks. We go every time we stop in the casino.

This was recorded this month and I honestly think it sounds better than most of what I heard when I streamed their "FINAL" concert.

Bryan Adams has released a video for his version of “War Machine,” one of two songs he cowrote for Kiss for their 1982 album Creatures of the Night.

It follows the launch of his take on “Rock and Roll Hell,” which arrived earlier this month. The songs will be made available on a double-A side vinyl single, which is available for pre-order now.




War Machine doesn't sound very "Bryan Adams" but Rock And Rock Hell sounds totally like an early Bryan Adams song.

Wow, those were pretty cool!

I always wondered what those would sound like if he sang/played them.

I remember watching the Gerard McMahon interview where he talks about "Is that you?" that he had written and recorded/demo'd and that Kiss did their "cover" of it for the Unmasked album:

Very cool! I remember when I first bought the Creatures album I was surprised to see Bryan Adams' credit on those two songs (which IMO are the best Gene songs on the album). These sound great, I might have to pick up the 7" single.

Is That You is one of my favorite songs off Unmasked. Unmasked is a very underrated KISS album in my opinion.

Unmasked is a great power pop album, I love it. Maybe an unpopular opinion, but the run of Dynasty/Unmasked/Elder is one of my favorite eras of KISS.

Yeah I can’t really disagree with them on The Elder. I remember being really disappointed when it came out except for ‘World Without Heroes’. I still love that track to this day.

Come on, Gene and Paul, just stop. Some of your fans, that you profess to care about, really love that album and it sucks to see it being constantly shit on by its creators.

Exactly. People are even saying that in the comments. And I loved how Paul shot down the woman when she said she liked it. Come on Paul..

Ex-Megadeth Guitarist Marty Friedman Recalls Being Told He Wasn't Tall Enough to Join KISS in Throwback Interview

https://people.com/megadeth-marty-fr...n-kiss-8702005


I assume that was the gig Bruce Kulick got. Vinnie Vincent was also 5'7. I used always think Bruce was like 6'4 but he's only 6'2. Gene is also 6'2 and Paul is like 6'0.
