My take on it is that The Dolls started it.......well......Alice (Cooper)
really started it........hmmmmm..........well.........Arthur Brown or Screaming
Jay Hawkins REALLY started it.....but.....like it has gone through
history....someone has to open the door to make the idea safe for the 'straights' to
accept it....the door openers die poor or unrecognised or worse....and everyone
else that follows reaps the rewards.
Just ask Jesus.
Tony Perkins started it. David Bash reaped the rewards.
No dis meant in the least.
Mind you, I am a HUGE KISS fan.
Not fronting, just saying.
