If your excuse for seeing Bon Jovi is that you were at a KISS gig... :tsk: That`s only okay if you were asking Gene and Paul for directions as to how to get away from there.

:tongue:

Why would you ask the only people there that would actually charge you?

No - I wouldn't really call myself a fan - some of their earlier stuff was ok.

 

3-4 - Some of the older albums.

 

Yes - When we were in Orlando in 2018 we went to see them. JBJ's voice had, by this stage, seen better days!

 

so many rock singers......improper technique kills their longevity.

His voice wasn’t all that during the Slippery When Wet or New Jersey tours.

Gene would probably charge me for wearing Jeans, or GENE'S, which is his name for them after he put in a bid to trademark them.

I still enjoy their 80s stuff but they're not a band I have regularly listened to in ages. As I have gotten older, I really noticed how shit they are when compared to other good music that's out there. They've been garbage for over 30 years now. I think after John wrote Blaze Of Glory he said "f**k it, I've got nothing left" and has been on autopilot ever since.

The only acceptable answers are No, None and No.

My excuse is they were the support band to KISS in 1984.

Ki$$ is cool if you're 14 years old or younger.

 

god i hate KISS, lol

Van Halen are the band Kiss should have been. I said what I said.

Must have been all that Jolt cola that he was known for drinking to stay energized. Twice the caffeine, twice the cola, zero the help of singing.

I have Slippery When Wet on cassette somewhere, I kind of liked that one. Haven't really kept track since then. :huh:

 

Me with my PFOK cassette by Spin Doctors. I got that, Ten by PJ and Core by STP in Xmas 93 when I was 13. Guess which one I rarely listen now. :lol:

 

Pretty nice Christmas gift! :ebert:

I love Al DiMeola! And do you get PBS public television shows in the UK? Maybe after a few months? (We get all the BBC stuff . . . . and Call The Midwife for like the 45th time)

 

There has been a really interesting Muhammed Ali documentary on the last 3 nights, I think the last night is tomorrow. They have film of all of his big fights; it's very interesting when they talk about his stance, movement, types of punches he used, etc., as well as his life and politics. I thought of you and your boxing thread.

I don't know if we get them Becky, to be honest I hardly watch TV these days. I used to watch it all the time back in the 70's and most of the 80's. I do watch boxing events of course and football. There's a big heavyweight fight this weekend in fact. The current unified heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua takes on former undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk. And in two weeks it will be WBC heavyweight champ Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder in their trilogy fight. The first fight was a draw and the second fight was a one-sided beatdown KO for Fury. I thought Fury easily won the first fight as well actually, but the judges declared it a draw.

Those two I have heard of, Fury and Wilder, not really aware of the cruiserweights. So will Fury win this third one as well do you think?

I think so, unless Wilder lands a big swing lucky punch.

 

Here's the other two, Joshua isn't a cruserweight though he's 6'6 and 250lb.

Well, it's yes to the final one, but that was due to the fact I was trying to get with this really fit girl who loved them...took her to see them (slippery when wet tour) and it was predictably hideous...worst thing is, I got nowhere with her...bah!

 

I actually saw them again at Donnington Monsters of Rock and have fond memories of them being pelted with clods of earth, rocks and bottles of piss.

At least it wasn't their follow up. Even in junior high I knew something was a little off with Cleopatra's Cat. Terrible choice for a leadoff single.

I wonder if the people who vehemently hate them also hate their contemporaries (Def Leppard, post-1987 Whitesnake, Motley Crue) with the same passion. I'm not a fan, per se, but I don't think their first few albums are so different from what lots of other so-called "hair bands" were doing.

Fahrenheit 451 was certainly a page turner but after that I kind of lost interest.
