pfft... n00b...I really don't know what to say
How many wedgies did you get during school including college
m:tg tourny's was a great time to smoke expensive cigars whilst guzzling Chimay and/or scotch
Oh great a drunk bunch of sexually frustrated nerds
I'm not shocked. Kiss is just a bunch of guys dressed up in costumes so there might as well be card games about monsters mentioned.
Ignorance truly is bliss.
A lot of artists go to school to learn their craft, earning Bachelor's and Masters degrees along the way.
It takes an average of 5 yrs. to earn a BFA degree from a fully accredited University. The course load and required studio hours is intense.
It never ceases to amaze me the number of people that still think artists work less than everybody else.
Unfortunately, there are still too many people that have no respect for or understanding of the tremendous amount of hard work and determination it takes to make it as an artist. This narrow, ignorant view point perpetuates the notion that it's ok to rip off an artist( music or visual ) because they and their time are seen as less valuable.
You don't work for free, so don't expect artists to do so either.
As were many, I however avoid anything metallica related. Bottom line: fvck kiss, gene simmons can go suck a fat dick.
I never said nor imply artists work less than everyone else. I just find it suprising when a few artists think they should be paid more than everyone else and that file sharing will stop that possibility. The irony is how many years did the "artists" of KISS go to school??
I think what really encourages file sharing is when bands like Mettallica and thier labels take legal action against their fans. And when "artists" like Garth Brooks wants a piece of the action everytime one of his used cd's changes hands. Greedy artists may be still be artists, but forgive me when I think they reap what they sew in terms of file sharing.

why do u h8 success so much?
Greedy? Napster lost Metallica millions of dollars because every person who downloaded Master of Puppets was stealing, like if they snuck into Tower and grabbed a cd.
Yeah, Lars Ulrich sounds like a douchebag, but he had a point. And if Metallica didn't speak up, someone else would have, guaranteed.
No one cared when you made cassette copy because that was on a personal level (and near impossible to enforce). Downloads can be done by millions with a click of the mouse.
Gene Simmons seems like a likeable guy. His acting & show on tv is good.
Music is pretty good,except that "Firestarter" song & video i had to sit through;it was aweful.
He's a buisnessman.
Gene for President!

How's business?
I also like how you are breaking the stereotype of the "starving" artist.
The last time I saw you, you had a sausage egg and cheese biscuit in each hand.
It's called entrepreneurship. People in every profession do it.
translation:
Gene Simmons can buy and sell me whenever he wants to, as many times as he wants to.
Gene seems to be to have done a great job with his family.
lol consumer culture
I buy all of my albums, but I preview them first (30 second song preview on iTunes or the headphones in the music store I go to. also, I only buy from LOCAL music stores, not chains) to make sure I'll like it. Or I ask a buddy of mine what a good album is and he's never steered me wrong yet.
I'll also kick a few extra dollars out to go to concerts and get T-shirts. I'm a huge Iron Maiden fan but I only have two shirts, a poster, and a bandana (but the bandana came free with the album).

Hey man, don't be hatin on the double fistin.I also like how you are breaking the stereotype of the "starving" artist.

Oh just fine, thanks for asking there Fish Fingers.
i understand what is going on, but when i can go to the website of a rock band from the 70's-80's(no idea actually, i'm just pretty sure they are old) and i click on the "kiss shop" and over 40 pages of items are for sale from incense holders to checkers games, disposable lighters to rubber duck toys for the tub, cooking aprons to stainless travel mugs, there becomes a point in which "entrepreneurship" turn into money grubbing shamelessness...

it doesnt involve you in the least so why do you care so much what someone else does?
i can't wait for the Neurosis action figures, and BBQ kit.
I remember when the KISS crazy kid at my school showed up with a KISS lunch box...and we thought THAT was cool. Now he prolly cooks in a KI$$ apron...
There's a kid at my school who wears a KISS hat and a KISS t-shirt everyday with his KISS ipod vinyl and his KISS keychain, and he uses KISS mints and KISS bodyspray.
Every time I see the kid I cringe. Such horrible taste in music, and so much of it.
What kind of apron do you cook in??
FYI- Mine has a picture of The David from the neck down. TMI??
aprons are for pussies
Who needs Gene Simmons...
I thought all dicks were "pro bush"...:biggrin:
