You listen to metal?

This is an all too common phrase for me. People are actually shocked I listen to metal, including my parents who could not believe I actually listened to Judas Priest, who I've been jamming to since college.

Here are some of the cool metal bands I totally jam to when they come on my MP3 player. Why is it mostly British metal bands? I'm still trying to figure out what it is that makes British metal and rock good :D

Metallica
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Kiss

Paul Stanley (solo album, Live to Win). This album is pretty good :)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Judas Priest
Ozzy Osbourne
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Black Sabbath
Strange to think the first song I heard of theirs was Paranoid

Disregard my post on going to see Bruno Mars. Instead, we, as in my family and me, might be going to see Alice Cooper and Motley Crue in July. Please let there be good seats to see them. I don't want to go to a concert only to see a TV screen. What I mean by this is the place they're playing at, RiverBend Colliseum, has what is called "lawn" seats, which is all the way in the back, where you get to watch the artist on giant screens and then there are the somewhat good seats, called "pavilion", where at least you get to see the artist, not necessarily hear them. If my parents are lobbying for lawn seats, forget it. I want to be able to see the artist in person from my seat, not on a TV! IF I want to see an artist on TV, I'll stay home and watch a concert on TV that way!!!
So, anyway, we might be going to see Alice Cooper. Nothing's in motion yet...

My summer is going to be busy!!!!

As I may have said earlier, I wasn't going to see Bruno Mars. Changes have been made. I'm going to see Bruno Mars instead with my sister. Tickets were only $45! How unreal is this? So, I'm going to my first concert! And we got killer floor seats. SCORE!!!! And I might end up deaf being next to my sister, who is going to scream bloody murder!!
And also, I'm going to see one of my favorite comedians, Gabriel Iglesias, this summer! Oh man, I can't wait for summer! I got the tickets for Iglesias the other night. Come on, summer...
 

 
 
 
 
 
I'm also including another topic in here. There's been a change of plans for the release of the Paul Stanley book. Instead of April 22, like it was announced in December, it will now release on April 8, making fans of Kiss, or better yet, fans of Paul Stanley scream bloody murder!! Face the Music: A Life Exposed will now release on April 8. And it's already been made a bet in my house as to how long it will be until I get it. My mom and stepdad say 1 day, my sister says 2 days

My new and improved "Bucket List"

$

0
You know what this means if you've ever seen the movie The Bucket List. Starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, this movie tells the story of two terminally ill men who, while strangers at first, become friends over the years and try to accomplish a list of things on their "bucket list", a list of things to do b4 they "kick the bucket". Ever since seeing that movie, it gave me the idea to come up with a bucket list. Here are some of mine, although I've had to change it a few times here and there!

Get a tattoo
-I'm down to deciding on something 1960s or Asian. If it's 1960s, I would like it to be a Peace Frog, sketch of a hippie girl or maybe a VW Microbus. If it's Asian, I would like it to be either a Japanese cherry blossom tree or a geisha girl

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Graduate from college
-I feel like such a failure for not graduating college while my sister did. I really want to go for Criminology, doing forensic science like on CSI. Either that, or maybe do something like on Criminal Minds, using psychology to analyze the behavior of what makes someone a serial killer or rapist. but I'm bound and determined to go to school for this stuff. Then I'm out of the crap job I'm in, where I have to fight for even one day off!
Meet someone famous
-This list is too long! I'd love to meet: Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath) because: if it weren't for hearing Paranoid by them on a local heavy metal station, I'd never be fans of this band. Not to mention, after reading that book by him, he seems like a generally sweethearted guy. Plus, you gotta respect the guy; he overcame the loss of two of his fingers, making him think he's never play guitar. But now he's playing, beating the odds! Awesome! Paul Stanley (Kiss). Yeah, I think he's cute, blah blah blah, but also a good musician. He seems like the kind of guy who does not like to put himself out there, like if he can avoid getting into the newspapers or gossip mags, he does. Kate Winslet. She's always been my favorite actress. She's smart, beautiful and just a good actress. Maggie Smith. Everyone knows her as Professor Minerva McGonagall in the Harry Potter series. When I look at her, I honestly can't believe she's still acting. She's smart, funny when she needs to be, and actually very beautiful for her age. I especially loved her in Keeping Mum; she was hilarious in there! Sharon Osbourne: in addition to being very beautiful for her age, she's funny, sarcastic and just plain awesome! How many other women can you name who could say they're the wife of "The Prince of Darkness?"

Get my license to drive
-Ooooooh, I'm so close to this I can taste it, mooooohahahahahahahahahahaha!
Travel to England, Japan, Australia. Italy
-The cultures of these countries is what draws me to them. Not to mention such sexy guys, lol. I swear, I'm not sure what is making English guys sexy, but good God! There's some real hotties coming from there ;) Plus, the local sights in these countries. I'd love to see a football game in England; hopefully the Tottenham Hotspurs will be playing, either them or Arsenal

Tottenham Hotspurs

Italy


Japan

Awww! A kangaroo!


London!

Learn to read, write, speak Chinese, Japanese, German, Russian and Italian
-After learning Spanish in high school, this sort of started a fascination with other languages and the cultures associated with them, although my mom says I want to learn all the "hard to learn" languages

Chinese

German


Italian, obviously, lol!

Japanese


Russian
Have a slight cosmetic surgery
-I have this small mole on my arm that I sometimes worry about when laying out in the sun; I honestly don't want skin cancer and I worry about that. So I'd love to have it removed

Fall in love
-Sometimes I think this will never be possible. Sometimes comprehension kicks in and makes me think "Who would ever love someone like me?" Sure my family loves me, but then again, aren't they supposed to?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Write a book
-I know this sounds stupid, but I think this would be interesting
Go rock climbing
-I think this is cool. But I'm not sure what I'd do about my lungs; I've had asthma since I was 16 and plus, living with a smoker for the first 20 years of my life has probably turned my lungs as yellow as a sunflower or black as Ronnie Wood's hair
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Go to a concert for the following people:
Aerosmith
-These guys are awesome!! I'm surprised that people haven't started calling them "The Boston Bad Boys" because of how they're supposedly like The Stones. These guys make some good hard rock, but if they had to have a name, I'm pretty sure it would be something like "The Bad Boys of Boston" or something!
The Rolling Stones
-These guys rock! I saw a concert last night of one of their shows from 2013, in Hyde Park. They played "Jumpin' Jack Flash". It still amazes me that, at 70 years old, Mick Jagger is still strutting stages, belting out those songs. Those guys are all in their 60s and 70s and they're still rocking? Amazing!!
Black Sabbath
-This one is kinda new! Ever since hearing "Paranoid", I've been thinking about and hoping to go see these guys
Judas Priest
-These guys were my first favorite true metal band. These guys are not the glam metal of the 1980s; no these guys are true, all out power metal, the kind of music people dubbed "headbangers" listen to! And plus, how can you honestly argue with a band whose singer rides out onto the stage on a pitch black Harley Davidson?
Kiss
-Yup, gotta see these guys! In addition to their music blowing the minds of its fans, you get an additional show when their bass player, Gene Simmons, shoots a fireball into the air, or when their rhythm guitarist, Paul Stanley, smashes his guitar Pete Townshend-style, when their lead guitarist, Tommy Thayer now, plays a guitar that starts smoking, or when their new drummer, Eric Singer, is up there on his riser, playing drums and it suddenly starts rising/levitating
Bad Company
-"Shooting Star". It all started with that song! For me, all it takes is one good song and I'm hooked on the music. I would love to see these guys put on a concert. I mean, how can you honestly doubt their music or ability of putting on a good concert? Plus, at whatever age he's at now, Paul Rodgers somehow still makes wearing leather pants look good!

Who knew being a fan of Kiss would be bad!

In the case of these high school seniors, it must be. 4 fans of Kiss in Montgomery, New York, who were also coincidentally high school seniors, were sent home after coming to school bearing the makeup of The Demon, Starchild, Space Ace and Catman for Celebrity Day
One of the seniors, Dylan Schoonmaker, along with his friends, came to school wearing wigs, leather jackets and pants and boots, Kiss t-shirts and the makeup of each of the principal members of Kiss- Starchild, Demon, Catman and Space Ace

School staff didn't recognize them and even when they were presented with school IDs, staff didn't budge. "Girls wear makeup everyday, how is that any different from what we did?" he says. "Just because we had kick ass designs?" Since they were sent home, they made use of their new found time. They went to a local House of Pancakes where they were mistaken for an actual rock band and even asked for autographs. So it sounds like things turned out just fine for them

This makes me want to cry!

Mick Jagger is still trying to understand why his girlfriend since 2001, L'Wren Scott, killed herself
After the incident, this is his first public comment on it. He says he's "struggling to understand". But his other family, The Rolling Stones, have postponed several concerts in March and April so they can be there for their lead singer in this rough time. His girlfriend, model and fashion designer L'Wren Scott, was found dead in her Manhattan Chelsea apartment at 10am Monday morning. She was found hanging by a scarf

On his official website, he had this to say "I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way. We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves. She had great presence and her talent was much admired, not least by me. I have been touched by the tributes that people have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received. I will never forget her,
Mick"

And on the Stones'official site, Mick, Charlie Watts, Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood are thanking all the fans for their sympathy, condolences and support through this hard time. As for their postponed shows, they were scheduled to run from March 19, in Perth, Australia through April 5 in Auckland, New Zealand. After that, they are clear until June 7, when they play the Pinkpop Festival in The Netherlands

3 New Kiss songs I found I like

Like the title suggests, I have found 3 Kiss songs that I love. I actually started liking them after watching the video for them. They looked interesting on YouTube, judging from the little photo showing the video. So I watched them and love them. I now have those songs on my MP3 player. Here are those songs. The first two can be found on their Smashes, Thrashes and Hits album and the last one can be found on their Asylum album

Strangely enough, it's Paul Stanley singing lead on these songs. Hmm, how come Gene never sings? I'm pretty sure he probably has a good voice

Ozzy Osbourne worries about fellow Sabbath band member Tony Iommi

This is so sad. Ozzy is worrying about Tony's cancer. And to add, I'm reading that book about Tony Iommi, Iron Man: My Life Through Heaven and Hell with Black Sabbath. It's such a good book, and funny in some parts. He sort of tells it how it was!
"I always think cancer means death" Osbourne told the Toronto Sun. "I didn’t know anybody who’d recovered. My wife recovered from colon cancer and that was the first person I ever knew. But he just accepts it and gets on with it"

When Iommi was diagnosed, it was during the recording of 13, and it only slowed down recording, not completely stopping it. He was only undergoing chemo treatments and it was said that the treatments were finished in May 2012. Because, otherwise, Ozzy says Iommi is doing fine. "I mean it’s got to be worrying, but he’s doing fine I think, I hope,” Osbourne says. “I haven’t had one of them dark phone calls so I presume he’s okay. He’s unbelievable"

Aerosmith drummer Joey Kramer weighs in on recent rock feuds!

Joey Kramer, drummer for Aerosmith, has a thing or two to say about some of the recent rock feuds occurring!
Kiss
-He responds to the issue of whether Kiss should play the R&R HOF ceremony with this statement. "I think people need to lighten up a little bit and not take things so goddamned seriously and make everything so important. It’s, like, hey, it’s life. S– happens. You’ve gotta roll with it and let’s just make the best of it and have fun. Problems and issues will always be there and they’ll never leave our side, so the object is to have a good time and make fun out of whatever we do. And those guys have had a very fruitful career. They’ve got nothing to complain about".

-On the issue of Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer, he says this "You have to recognize the fact that there’s two other guys that have been in the band for the last 12 or 15 years,” conceded Kramer. “I mean, can you just ignore them? Is that fair? From my point of view, I think, basically, they should all play. And yeah, it’s only the original four that are getting inducted into the Hall Of Fame, but I think they should all play"

Guns N' Roses
-"The bottom line is this: it’s whether or not they really care about their fans and the people that made them and got them to where they were,” argued Kramer. “Because that’s really what it’s all about"

-He continued "Basically, because they have personal grievances with one another, everybody else is being held hostage and can’t hear the music that they love to play and they love to hear. So, you know, it’s not really fair,” he continued, adding a comment that might say something about how Aerosmith keeps things together: “You know, you can get to a point where you just deal with one another — you go on stage and do what you’ve gotta do and do your job. And then, you know, you don’t have to hang out, you don’t have to be buddies, you don’t have to have dinner together, you don’t have to, you know, be brothers. I mean, that’s nice — it makes it a whole lot better and easier. But I think it’s kind of unfair that they indulged their egos to the extent that they do"

Just another rock feud!

Why Paul Stanley told Slash to go F--- yourself
During the 1980s, Paul Stanley of Kiss wanted nothing more than to help struggling L.A. rock band Guns N' Roses

According to Stanley, in his new book Face the Music: A Life Exposed, he approached the rookie band at the beginning of their work on Appetite for Destruction. At first, looks didn't impress, with Stanley describing Izzy Stradlin as being unconscious, looking like he had drool coming out of his mouth and Slash as half comatose

After night two, trouble started brewing. "They weren’t happy with the guy mixing their sound", Stanley says.  "And Slash asked me out of the blue to help out. Decades later, Slash’s recollections of the night would be faulty at best. He liked to pretend I had dared to meddle with their sound"

He also adds "Immediately after my interactions with the band, I started to hear lots of stories Slash was saying behind my back — he called me gay, made fun of my clothes, all sorts of things designed to give him some sort of rock credibility at my expense. This was years before his top hat, sunglasses and dangling cigarette became a cartoon costume that he would continue to milk with the best of us for decades". Some would say this is ironic, considering that Paul is currently wearing makeup and costumes for the band Kiss. Sort of like, a pot calling the kettle black

Later on, Stanley says Slash called back. "You want me to help you get guitars after you went around saying all that s— about me behind my back?" His response was "“You know, one thing you’re going to have to learn is not to air your dirty laundry in public. Nice knowing you. Go f— yourself". But Slash has long since apologized and so has Stanley. Slash said he chalked his behavior that night up to arrogance

Paul Stanley accuses Peter Criss and Ace Frehley of Anti-Semitic behavior

Yeah, that's right. Another Kiss-related feud. There's a lot of those happening lately...
In Paul Stanley's newly release bio, he points out that Ace Frehley and Peter Criss engaged in Anti-Semitic behavior sometimes

While it's no secret that Peter Criss and Ace Frehley abusing substances was poison to Gene and Paul, it's also no secret that Paul claims Peter and Ace were anti-Semitic (against Jewish people for those who may not know :D). Stanley said that Peter and Ace "felt powerless and impotent when faced with the tireless focus, drive and ambition of me and Gene. As a result, the two of them tried to sabotage the band — which, as they saw it, was unfairly manipulated by [us] money-grubbing Jews"

He also claims that Ace had a habit of collecting Nazi memorabilia, dressing as a Nazi, walking around and talking in a mock German accent and in the early days of Kiss, supposedly witnessed Peter mocking Chinese waiters at restaurants

Also, Peter and Ace were not the only ones on Paul's do-not-like-right-now list. His bandmate Gene Simmons was not invited to Paul's 2005 wedding to Erin Sutton because of his anti-marriage views. He told his fellow band mate "When you insult and demean people who get married and ridicule or dismiss the idea of marriage, you have no place at a wedding". But of course, Gene went on to marry later partner Shannon Tweed in 2011

Let's see what Ace has to say!
Here's, yet again, another feud going on between current members of the band Kiss and previous members. This time, it's a response to accusations that Paul Stanley made to Ace Frehley about being Anti-Semitic

Ace simply says this "We say good things about each other and we say bad things about each other [in our memoirs], but it is what it is". "“It’s rock and roll. I mean, if all we did was pat each other on the back for every book, people would say, ‘That’s a boring book.’ They want to hear the dirt. I’ve got plenty of dirt"

Meanwhile, Peter Criss took a less calm approach to these accusations, saying he was not a racist, and that his favorite aunt was actually Jewish. Because when he was younger, he and his friends would pick on the Hasidic Jews around his neighborhood and when he found out one of his aunts, who happened to be his favorite aunts, was Jewish, he stopped it.

But Peter says he's not suing and Ace doesn't worry about it. He basically says they're still friends with each other, no matter what

Excited about the tour with Slash, Joe Perry takes to the streets to get the word out. April 8 is the official start date of this tour, judging from the art Joe is laying out.

That's right! In the post "All the more motivation to get my driving license" where I mentioned if I could swing it, I was going! Yup, this girl here is going to see Kiss and Def Leppard. Tickets were $171.99 and with venue fees being $20, it came out to be a little over $200. I'm never spending that much again, but it's going to be worth it! Sorry I forgot to do a post. I bought my ticket on the 21st of March, the day they went on sale for civilians. What I mean by this is that military personnel got first dibs on tickets, as I think it should be. For all they do, they should get first stab at tickets! Anywho, I'm going to see Kiss and Def Leppard. And I've had my ticket for a little over a month. Sorry I forgot to mention it, been a long few weeks at work, lol!!

Strangely enough, this is the wallpaper for my computer at work!

But anyway, like the title suggests: I'M GOING TO SEE KISS AND DEF LEPPARD! I'll upload pix if I get any and I will get some pix of Gene Simmons breathing fire, Paul Stanley riding a harness out over the audience, Phil Collen with his shirt off, showing his gorgeous bod and new tattoo and Rick Allen, better known as the Thunder God, pounding his drums!
