Uwe is right on about Simmon's playing.  I love his lines on Dr. Love and Love Gun.  Not your typical eighth note playing for sure.  (although he does do some bits during Ace's solo on Dr. Love.....That is Ace playing the solo, isn't it? :mrgreen:)

Yeah, but IIRC, Paul played the bass on "Love Gun".

Kiss provided the impetus for me to take up an instrument as a 16-year old - in particular, it was side one of Kiss Alive! (which I heard before ever seeing their show) that had me over the moon. Before I ever saw a Thunderbird, I wanted a Grabber - so I could do that growly slide in the beginning of "Deuce". My favorite Kiss studio album to this day is Dressed To Kill - followed by the first two, plus Rock And Roll Over.

Kiss was always a great show - but they were also a great rock and roll band. To a man, they have always maintained that they were trying to put together the best elements of all the loud, visual bands they had seen. To really appreciate their appeal, it's probably a prerequisite that you were a fan initially, that the songs spoke to you. Yeah, the merchandising and extracurriculars diluted things later on, but Alive! (for all its non aliveness) is still a masterpiece, one of those albums that for me is a time machine.

Hahaha... OK show me ANY other musical forum on the net where the Admin and Moderators not only encourage but join in with comments that would almost certainly get you banned anywhere else!!  ( Freuds_Cat is still laughing ) :thumbsup:

Have we reached the bottom of this yet?




And I STILL think they should have named it "The Dood-y Pit"

The key factor seems to be that unlike many pilots, he knew how to glide. Granted, it's probably just a little different with a commercial airliner, but the fundamentals were there.

You all need to stop overanalyzing everything.

But Dave, isn't that our duty as members of the forum?

I herewith move to have this honorable site rechristened "The (B)asshole" for the sake of intellectual honesty!!!

I support this movement!

This thread has slid down a crevasse.

That's a large, deep crack, right?

A whole roll? That seems uncomfortable. Can't we just settle for the cardboard part?

That might prove unsatisfactory. It could collapse from muscular pressure - that's assuming, of course, that things are not too... errrr, relaxed for those types of shenanigans. :o

Comments like "Suggestion Box", "Hindsight" and Ermmmmm......."Dark Caverns" say quite alot about you, and of course the more you protest the more we all know that you're hiding something ;)

A gerbil?

In hindsight, Mark, hurt feelings aside, you were probably lucky.

Freudian slip?

I was looking through to see if anyone mentioned Peter Cetera, he doesn't get his dues often, he was one of the greats and did sing lead quite a bit unlike many of the people posted here. He has a great voice and was one of the top bassists back then, had a great P bass and later Gibson sound, was also one of the greatest pick style bassists. I have heard that he has again picked up the bass.

He was on the cover of Bass Player magazine sometime last year. Great article - should have been longer. When you start listening to Chicago's early stuff you become acutely aware of what a great player he was/is. I'd like to see him put out something new with him on bass...

Nice to see I have this kind of effect on our esteemed Moderators.......... ;D

Yes Mark, we have all rectified our problems and assimilated. We have seen the error of our ways, crawled out of the deep dark hole of ignorance and no longer make you the butt of tasteless jokes. Can you ever forgive us?

Easy: Mott the Hoople doing All the Young Dudes.


Can that really be considered a cover? Bowie pretty much gave them the song - I think his version was released years after the Mott version.
However, I will submit the Angel version from "Live Without A Net" or maybe even the Bruce Dickinson offering.
The Wallflowers' version of "Heroes" is pretty cool too...
