  1. I know this was addressed in a thread or two earlier this year, but in case anyone missed it:

    Of particular interest, the last post in the thread:

    And for the cherry on top, his GEMM store has been updated TODAY:

     

    http://www.gemm.com/c/search.pl?&table=sellers&seller=GMV301315&view=WELCOME

     

    He's either just fired it up again, or has done no transactions there. Either way, it looks like he's on the prowl again.

    He's not too busy at GEMM right now. 15 items listed. 1 out of 1 items ordered in last 180 days was not available. 0 items shipped in past 180 days.

    I really do love them both, and as far as a collective body of work goes, Ratt has them, but as far as I'm concerned Kix CD Hot Wire is probably one of the finest discs ever produced in history, I have just always thought it was so much more talented and well done then it ever received credit for, and I just think it's a phenomenal disc.

    Was def a good album but for me their masterpiece was Blow My Fuse. Love it!

    No Mullet, that was an absolutely fucking awesome album, my problem with it, and I noticed this even when it was released (and I was only in 5th grade) do you notice the fact it sounds like they decided "fuck it" we will just skip the mastering process all together and release it as is? yeah maybe if they took some time, threw the masters in and mastered the fuck out of it, it would give it a whole new dynamic, because on top of that, it really wasn't recorded that well to begin with, the complete opposite is the case with Hot Wire, where you put it on and the songs just pour into you, you hear everything, from the instruments, to Steves awesome rasp, thats my deciding factor in all of this, and almost everything I listen to, probably not the case with very many of you, as far as songs go, individually, I dont believe Kix can hold a comparison to Ratt, IMO not many bands in history can, but thats just what I think.

    The production was thin but not bad, like a lot of things released in 1988. Hot Wire def has great production but it's far from filler free.

     

    don't know that I have ever heard such a fine album (from mid 80's on) that had such poor production as blow my fuse

    Interesting.. My favorite KIX release is Midnight Dynamite by far.

     

    Not sure if I ever mentioned this before... I suppose it may not have ever been publicly know... But Steve Whiteman was DeMartinni's first choice to replace Pearcy after his departure.

     

    Cool! Did not know that!

     

    While I probably like Out of the Cellar better than any Kix album, there are about 4-5 Kix albums that I absolutely LOVE, almost from start to finish.

  4. Whoa, thanks for all the kind words and support. It's awesome to know there's people out there that dig what we do as much as we dig doing it!

     

    We won't be at ROK this year but we'll be all around North America (and beyond) throughout the year. Hope to meet you all on the road!

     

    Cheers!!!!!

    Where's the LIKE button? lol

  5. anyone hear any update on the possible new album?

     

    Are you gonna tell us about it?

     

    No. I am HOPING something new is in the works and that someone has heard something. They have been back together for about a year and I have not heard anything. So I ask again, has anyone heard anything about new music coming out of Barren Cross?

  6. GEMM is ridiculously FAIR. They take a 13% flat rate cut of your sales. You set your own shipping rates. Problem is, they don't have near the exposure as Amazon. So I get a sale here and there, but not near the volume you can get on Amazon. On GEMM I mainly list the CDs that Amazon does not have a listing for.

     

    I meant from a buyers perspective. Don't most sellers list fairly high on that site?

     

    yep, prices are generally high. but there's a lot of stuff on there that you don't see very much anywhere else.

  7. I was contacted by a member on ebay and was asked if I would consider selling an item to someone who didn't have a paypal account. He said he would pay with a money order. He wanted to purchase the CD without ebay being involved. I could care less if that is against ebay rules... I owe ebay nothing considering how many times I've been ripped of by their policies. I told this guy that if he sent me a money order for $33.00 I would sell him the CD off ebay.

     

    Imagine my surprise when I opened my mail box and saw an envelope with the following return address:

     

    James Arwine

    68 North Main St. Apt.2

    Red Lion, PA. 17356

     

    This guy has actually ripped me off before.. and now he is dumb enough to send me a money order for an off ebay transaction. Karma works in mysterious ways... What do you think the chances are of him getting that CD..?

     

    His new ebay id is poolshooter5912 He only has 8 feedbacks on this new account.

     

    I should add that I am an honest person in general... and especially when it comes to other CD collectors. I am struggling with making a decision on whether or not I should send him the CD. What do you think?

     

    Is there any way to engage in discourse with him, and ask him about his bad reputation? You know, try to get him to admit to ripping people off? ("I think someone has warned me about you before.") Then if he denies it, ask "What about me?????" Don't know how practical or legally wise that would be, but it might prove interesting (if you have the time and patience to lead him on....)

     

    You have a unique opportunity, but you also have to protect yourself legally. After all, you have posted this in a public forum.

     

    May God grant you wisdom as you process this mentally.
