There is something magic about music. Especially when you hold a record in your hands that you purchased as a 12 year old kid in 1978. When you can remember the smell of it. The feel of it. The quality and sheen of the cover. In an instance, all those feelings come back. And it […]

Dressed To Kill For Fifty Years
I’ve always loved Dressed to Kill, and here we are, 50 years later, and I’m still spinning it like it just came out last week. The fact that this album is half a century old is mildly terrifying, but what’s even scarier? Realizing I was just 9 years old when I unwrapped it on Christmas […]

It Was Forty Three Years Ago Today
Forty Three Years Ago! That’s just something so hard to comprehend when I can remember it all detail for detail as if it happened yesterday! Yeah, forty three years ago, I went to my first gig, KISS at VFL Park. I wasn’t alone. 45,000 people attended too that day, making it for the time – […]

Pulling The Trigger For 45 Years! Love Gun Anniversary

An Explanation Of The Murders In The Rue Morgue Tributes
Back in 1978, KISS released four solo albums. I was old enough to go and purchase Ace Frehley‘s album a couple of weeks after its release in September 1978. Now, we are not here to discuss the merits of those records, but on the back of each album, each member dedicated their record to the […]

Ace Frehley Is Back With Origins 2
What makes a great cover song? That is perhaps going to be a question that will float around for as long as music itself exists. I guess in a way that questions can be answered differently by every single music lover in their own way, it all comes down to taste. I know there are […]

KISS Destroyer 44 Years Old
My parent’s think I’m crazy! And they hate the things I do… It’s scary to realise that KISS Destroyer is 44 years old today. Even scarier to realise that yours truly was alive and kicking back then and this hot piece of wax was the first album the author owned and purchased with his own […]

Ace Frehley: Bronx Boy
He’s a guitar hero; a spaceman; a guitar-smoking, rocket-shooting hero from the planet Jendel, whose lead guitar wizardry defies generations and has solidified the original Kiss guitarist’s place in the ethos of rock ‘n’ roll history. Ace Frehley is back (and he told you so) with his new limited edition vinyl exclusive “Bronx Boy” EP!
