I'll concede ALL your points....except one. Simmons' bass playing. Sorry,
man...ANY musician who can puke blood, run in platform shoes and fly across
a stadium strung up by two piano wires and STILL play the groove to "God Of
Thunder" or "100,000 Years" is fucking brilliant. He could never remember
the words to his songs, but his bass playing was beyond reproach. Oh, and
most of the guitar parts in KISS songs were him and Stanley. Not Frehley.
