Ace and Peter, I love them as musicians and founding members of my favorite band, but the truth is they both were wasted 24-7 and didn't want to face anything responsibly. That's why they'll shit talk Paul and Gene, because Paul and Gene represent authority.

[@sunjester8254]

Albert Bouchard is not only a seriously underrated drummer, but a musician as well. He wrote most of BOCs songs on early albums and continued writing after his ousting. Listen to any of his albums post BOC and BOCs post Al, and you'll hear a major difference in song writing. Buck is my favorite guitarist and Eric's a top singer for me, but they're just not the same without Al and his brother Joe.

[@mikee2923]

Truer words have never been spoken. Fire Of Unknown Origin was the last album with Albert. Prior to Fire, BOC were on a downward trajectory. Fire changed that. Had they kept the original lineup there’s no telling what could have been. I think Albert more than anyone else was responsible for the mystique and uniqueness that set BOC apart from every other band. They were still good but just started to fail to stand out from the crowd like they once did.

[@sunjester8254]

​@@mikee2923 I also neglected to mention Allen. While his input wasn't as great as Al or Joe, he was a much better musician than anyone they replaced him with. Sandy Pearlman's lyrics can't be touched by Jon Shirley either.

[@mikee2923]

@@sunjester8254 I agree with that, too. Allen was easily the most underrated member of the cult. The original 5 worked together so well they are all irreplaceable. Ritchie comes close to replacing Allen but BOC, while still a great band probably will never be able to recreate the magic that was BOC from 1972-1981.

[@sunjester8254]

​@@mikee2923 I'm not a fan of any of the new lineup, including Richie. To me, he sounds like someone who went to school to learn "shred" and fails to play with any emotion or creativity. Allen had a natural ability, and sounded pretty good trading licks with Buck. It's like with Buck. He doesn't have the technique of Van Halen, but he's no slouch, and the technique he has is used creatively and with feel. No one would do a solo like on Vengeance except for Buck.

Have you ever seen them a Kiss show? What people don’t understand is KISS puts on a show, not a concert, and there is a difference, a KISS show is the most over the top performance I have ever witnessed, they aren’t musical genius’s but the songs are catchy and I’m sure you know every song, for 2hrs it’s none stop explosions, fireworks, flames. Spitting blood, levitating stages. Even if you hate KISS everyone should catch one of their shows.

Gene, for sure, has that "act important and people will believe you're important", or successful, or whatever attitude/philosophy. Nothing wrong with it at all. Having over-the-top confidence in oneself (especially in rock n roll) is fairly common I would think. If you wanna be a Rockstar then you better act like a Rockstar.

Nope. Just a pansy that has issues with masculinity. Buff guys never admired him and Stanley always knew how effeminate he is and how slight his masculinity is. That's why he told these crazy stories. It's a clear case of compensation For The truth. Of course women were interested in him but Many people believed that he had an issue with that in The 1980s and people truly were not certain about his orientation.

I met Paul Stanley at the China Club in NYC 1989. He was there dancing with his wife to be. They invited me over to their apartment, 3 blocks away. He made us a late dinner. He was a great guy. We've been friends ever since. We talked about his upcoming strategies for KISS. He knew the importance of the fans~Kiss Army. He told me how the master plan was a marathon plan to keep the band big. History proves that the plan worked. KISS has out-lasted almost every other band. Genius!

Man I got to open for them back in like 96 or 97 at the grove theater in upland California. The other guys in the band said they didn't know who BOC was. I was like Kick out the jams, city on flames, GODZILLA?!?!. They looked at me like a monkey looking at a mirror for the first time until I said Godzilla. I think the band Velvet phallacio opened too. We were both really small local bands and opening for them is still the highlight of more musical life. They were cool as hell man. Didn't really have Roadies so I helped them with their equipment. Just a cool ass rock band but I was as nervous as a whore in church man. I mean Im really a hack with a good year who plays by ear, I played bass and was a wreck for the first song or 2 but I saw them watching us and sometimes looking at me like you would when you're watching a band. It made me comfortable I guess. The warm feeling you get from playing music for a band that you big brother turned you onto with a KTEL record back in 1979ish is a warm smile that you smile with your whole body man. I was so starstruck that I didn't even ask for autographs. But it's still in what's left of my mind. Now I'm knocking around with my so and his buddy as they try to get a band going and my ear still keeps this hack playing out of my league. Until they start wanting to play Polyphia and stuff like that. That just makes me kinda laugh at myself man.😀

In 94 I saw and met that version of, blue oyster cult in Charlotte NC at the Ritz. It was an amazing show. After the show I met up with all the band members and everyone was cool. Except the lead singer, Buck Dharma. He had an ego so huge that it was annoying. One thing I've always told my son is this. No matter how famous someone is, they are still human. Don't ever let someone intimidate you. With that said. After about 5 minutes of listening to this dude talk about how damn good he was, i shook my head and went to walk away. He literally reached out and grabbed my arm and told me he was not finished yet. I told him he was and to remove his hand from my arm. He looked at me like I just stole his puppy. I walked away and the guitarist walked up to me, smiled and shook my hand. He told me that he has always been like that. An ego bigger than anyone around him to be so short. So this dude is talking about Gene and Paul, he should also talk about his lead singer as well.
