RIP Thread


I can see Gene and Paul like Salieri in Amadeus, cursed to live in this world with Ace's infectious laugh echoing in their heads forever
(KISS are actually pretty good, which is mostly due to Paul)

Fucking hell. RIP, Oatmeal Cookie. I will forever cherish Momiji, the most grossly undappreciated girl of DoA.

Rip to an actual legend who helped change music history as we know it, and being a part of one of the most insane movies ever, Scooby-Doo and Kiss: Rock and Roll Mystery.

Hate to burst your bubble but Ace wasn’t in that, regrettably. The spaceman in the Scooby Doo cartoon was played by his perennially disrespected replacement, Tommy Thayer.

Ace never missed a chance to run down Tommy, even though by most reports Tommy is a stand up guy. The problem Ace had was that Tommy never did anything original before joining KISS; he played Ace in a KISS cover band and Ace thought that was turbo gay. Lots of stories about personality clashes there, too. Allegedly Tommy narced on Ace sneaking a girl backstage when he was still just their tour manager and Ace punched him in the nose. Mind you this was 2000-something, when Ace was a middle aged alcoholic and Tommy was a jacked up personal fitness instructor. Dude just shook it off and rolled his eyes. He’s gotta be one of those “never meet your heroes” types lol.

In exchange for wrecking your memory, I want to leave you with the ultimate KISS kino reel:

⚡️⚡️THE NOTORIOUS TOM SNYDER HALLOWEEN SHOW⚡️⚡️


Halloween 1979, at the pinnacle of KISS mania, right as they were releasing my favorite KISS album Dynasty and I Was Made for Loving You, they sat down to do an appearance on Tom Snyder’s late night talk show. Not a performance but a long conversation.

TLDR: Gene and Paul are being boring so Ace and Peter troll the fuck out of it. Watch Gene and Paul seethe in real time and witness the retarded origin of those Space Bear jokes Ace put in his albums for the rest of his career.

Reminded of this, several kids dressed as KISS for Bozo's Hobgoblin March that year...

Well this sucks. He (rightly) got a lot of shit for the shitshow that was CM Punk's UFC stint, but Roufusport was a legit top tier gym for a long time and was responsible for several champions.

RIP to a legend.

What also gets to me is this part:
...the veteran trainer passed away in his sleep on Thursday.

Remember to remind your loved ones (and me) that you care about them. 💗

Bro, thank you so much for that. I hadn’t seen it before and that is legitimately one of the funniest things I have ever watched on YouTube.
You can even see the genesis of GWAR’s interview style in that clip (RIP Dave Brockie).

Aw fuck, you know you’re getting old when the dying famous rockers of your youth are younger than you are.
