Huh…as it turns out, the 17-album Alcice Cooper zip file i DL’ed didn’t have either of them in it. I’ll put them on my list to grab. I’m woefully lacking in Alice Cooper knowledge compared to the rest of my band (and many other people i know), and this is my effort to rectify that.

Dude, as far as Paul’s banter goes…i DL’d a zip file once containing 70+ mp3s of Paul Stanley stage banter. It’s glorious. Also, have you ever heard the segue into “Love Gun” on their Animalize tour video? It’s completely ridiculous. “So i was at the doctor because i’d been partyin’ just a LITTLE TOO HARD (points to groin), and in walks this nurse with the biggest tits i’ve ever seen!” (audience goes wild)

Okay- but the Alice Cooper albums…you did think to download both Easy Action and Pretties for You, right?

You might also mention that, having seen KISS, Paul Stanley’s between song banter had to be worth the price of admission alone.

The moral relativism of rock music is exactly what makes it the TOOL OF SATAN.

(Don’t you mean sisters bending down for themselves?)

Well, as Eddie Vedder once astutely pointed out, lyrics should be intended for different interpretations for different people. You see homoeroticism, i see sisters standin’ up for themselves.

Feminist empowerment? You assume that song’s about a chick. How about FLAMING HOMOSEXUAL EMPOWERMENT? yessss.

DJ this is great… I hope Paul Stanly looses both the libal and the copyright lawsuit… against you…

Brilliant!
as is disabling comments in the “other place” so people will comment here… i’ve got to remember that trick.

Chris has really been getting into KISS lately actually.

to be fair, i’ve never listened to them much, other then the obvious choices of course.

Speaking of Hot in the Shade, I totally neglected to point out that i love KISS despite the fact that, when going to see them on the Hot in the Shade tour (with Faster Pussycat and Slaughter opening!), Eric Carr’s enormous tank-like double-kick drums fucked up my right ear. To this day, the higher registers irritate my right ear way more than my left. Then he died of brain cancer.

They had a giant sphinx that sang part of “God of Thunder.”

My roommate is the biggest KISS fan on the planet - he actually legitimately bought all 26 of those CDs. Even freakin’ “Hot in the Shade.” (Possibly the laziest album title in history.) He even bought the RECENT Paul Stanley solo record.

His girlfrend has been trying to convince him of Paul’s gayness for awhile, to no avail. We just watched the VH1 Rock Honors which featured KISS and Judas Priest. I think seeing Paul’s hairy chest right after the out-of-the-closet Rob Halford broke him.

“Okay,” he said. “Paul MIGHT be bi…”
