Weak Recap: We be winning, playa
It’s no secret that we’re amazing, and we’re pretty modest about it, too. I mean, the rest of the guys who write for this site aren’t really that awesome, but compared to your boring ass, they’re Gods. I, on the other hand, am absolutely sublime. I truly believe a few decades from now people will be quoting my posts and giving them as examples of literary genius.
So why would I, of all people, interview the other writers for this site? Isn’t it a bit like Mozart interviewing Linkin Park? Yes it is, but unlike Mozart, I am pretty humble. And good looking.
Anyway, make the jump and read my interview with some of metal’s worst writers… Ever.
Kiss good music goodbye
Kiss, the band that are more of a marketing scam than a band, are apparently back again to ruin more people’s hearing with their atrocious excuse for ‘music’.
The new album will be called Monster, and is a perfect title for the new album in the sense that monsters scare people and Kiss‘ music scares me. Read more on the band’s new album over at Blabbermouth.

Kiss won’t kiss MJ goodbye
It was reported that Kiss would be part of a Michael Jackson tribute concert, but we didn’t post about it because we had better stuff to do…
But now it’s being reported that Kiss got kicked out of the gig, and we’re writing about it because, well, we’re lame and hypocritical. Apparently fans ratted Gene out:
“We have listened to Michael’s fans and are grateful to have been alerted to these unfortunate statements by Gene Simmons. Under the circumstances we fully agree that even though Kiss is a band Michael admired we have no choice but to rescind our invitation to them to appear in our tribute concert.“
Read full article here.
So a couple of MJ fanboy snitched to the promoters that Gene actually called Michael a pedophile, so they gave him the boot. That’s pretty awesome… To be fair, I really don’t care about this story at all, so I have nothing else to add.
There are a few child puns I could try but let’s not get carried away here.
Kiss gives their fans everything they want
Except for decent music, new music or old band members. Seriously, just how do they get away by having two guys replace the classic lineup members in their makeup? But I guess the issue at hand is not what Ace Frehley or Peter Criss would want, it’s what a person who still likes Kiss nowadays would want. And hot damn, they apparently want a lot of shit, because according to Pete Stanley:
“People sometimes say, why do you have things like Kiss sleeping bags? Because a fan asked for it. We’re not great merchandisers — we’re great listeners. We give the fans what they want. If that’s a crime, I’m ready for my trial.”
That’s right Pete, you tell them. And again, I don’t really mind them doing all the merchandising, I’d probably buy some of this crap if I were damaged in the head, but saying fans would prefer a sleeping bag to songs or honesty regarding band members. Hmmmmm…
Kiss make the Guinness Book
Nope sorry, we’re not talking about the beer. Even though, I’d rather have a cold Guinness right now, than write about Kiss. But what can you do when you’ve sworn an oath of metal?
So Kiss made the Guinness Book of World Records. How so? Was it about the longest tongue? Most greedy human beings in the history of mankind? No no, I’m just kidding. Please don’t sue me, Mr. Simmons.
They set a world record for “Most Nationalities In An Online Chat.” No shit. They have records for that. How useful. Apparently some website hosted a chat called “KISS Live & Global” representing 92 nationalities from around the world.
Nice. Most useless trivia ever posted on this site.
