Rebel yell: Cranky old men of rock continue war on Spotify

Rebel yell
For many years, The Beatles resisted making their catalog available on iTunes, but the times eventually changed, even for Paul McCartney. In fact, Sir Paul's much-misunderstood and recently re-released '70s album "Ram" went straight to Spotify, and his new album, "New," is also available on the streaming music service. Likewise, geriatric grunge rockers Pearl Jam's new album, "Lightening Bolt," was on Spotify from Day One. Are the elder statesmen of rock warming to Spotify? Depends which old man you ask.

@#$%& them. Pearl Jam aren't even 50 yet, and they play like they are still 28. They are a band that has continually changed and challenged their audiences since the beginning and most of the time it is always to successful results. They had the major album as a debut, have continued 20 years on doing whatever they want on their own terms, and still play better than 75% of the bands out there these days, if not more. They are the personification of a young band that deserves to go in first ballot.

Mr KC. I find your posts without merit, and very unknowledgable in your replys.

I think this year the only person inducted should be Harry Nilsson. Devote the entire ceremony to him.

Kiss' Gene Simmons says that the band's original lineup will not reunite if the group is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He told Radio.com that guitarist Ace Frehley and drummer Peter Criss "had three chances to be in the band and three times they f***ed it up...When you have a cancer in your system, its best to cut it out as fast as you can." Rock Hall inductees are expected to be announced in January, with the ceremony during April in New York City.
Unfortunately because he founded the band and him and Paul seem to be irreplaceable. I guess because they are the frontman and the most vocal members over the past 40 years, as strange as it is to not have Ace and Peter there it just wouldn't actually be KISS without Paul and Gene. I really didn't used to have that much against Gene. In the 70s and even through the 80s and early 90s, while he has always been dickish he seemed to have his heart in the right place and he was a good musician. He's still an underrated musician, but in the last 10-15 years he's become this completely unsympathetic monster. I think since the band reunited, he put back on the makeup, and he went back to making millions, he just lost all sanity. Someone needs to knock him back down several pegs to at least make him tolerable.Quote

On that basis, how is it he's still in the band?

Ace left in the early 80s when they started to get bad. Smart move.Quote

whatever the reason ace left in the early 80's because he wanted to try a solo career. in the early 2000's he left after the 1st farewell tour and said he told the band he was done

Ace left after the 1st Farewell tour because it was... the farewell tour. Logical move.
I'm not on anybody's side in KISS. I like all the guys. But Ace's moves made sense. He saw the band was moving in a bad direction, he genuinely tried to change it, and they wouldn't let him. Then later on when he was back, they started only pushing for money and he thought "well thats not exactly why I joined again". He saw the band was turning into a joke. So he left again.

Actually Ace didnt really leave the last time... it was based on him wanting a bigger of a cut of the tour money, I recall the instance where whats his name (the main a-hole) said something like "Ace got some some very bad advice, he thought we needed him and he could hold us hostage gor more money on the next tour leg, and we dont need him, so we moved on".

That main A-hole (as opposed to Ax-hole) is Gene Simmons I think.
