Guys, there are PLENTY of good looking chicks out there. Just cuz they are nice to look at doesn't mean they deserve to get fame and fortune....for doing NOTHING!!!! It's the whole Paris Hilton thing (surely you've heard of her). They are famous for being famous.
It's all hype and the distorted media here in the U.S. that has TOLD us (the stupid tv watching public) that we need to look up to and admire these girls. After all (the media tells us) they are celebrities, so we must love them and know every little detail about their life. *groan* 
It's another sign our society is horribly messed up, when good for nothings like the kardashians get rich and good, honest hard working people get screwed. 
Well, enough negativity for now. Just had to put in my 2 cents. -
This is SO FUN!!! I could go on forever about newer pop bands and how they suck balls. But, in the vein of HH, Axel Rudi Pell. That guy could not compose a proper solo to save his life. His soling is aimless and wandering and without direction and he needs to use string oil, cause I can hear the string noise when he changes chords. I like his music ok, but the soloing just completely ruins the whole thing for me!!! Axel....go get some guitar lessons from Lukather or MacAlpine, or John Sykes or Doug Aldrich. Whew...I feel alot better!!

Can I take me a whack at this?
Red Sea - BLOOD (Rugged Records, 1994)
Red Sea was a "one and done" Christian hard rock project led by former Die Happy vocalist Robyn "Kyle" Basauri. Die Happy had started out as a traditional heavy metal project with a hint of thrash, but their VOLUME II album (1993) left a lot of that sound behind and instead shifted towards a more blues-based hard rock vibe, similar to that of Badlands. (Coincidentally, former Badlands bassist Greg Chaisson joined Die Happy just prior to the recording of VOLUME II.) Die Happy released a live-in-the-studio EP in late '93 before splitting up, and Basauri quickly regrouped with Chaisson, guitarist Chris Howell (of Fear Not) and drummer Jeff Martin (Chaisson's former Badlands bandmate) under the RED SEA banner. Their one and only album, BLOOD, was released on the fledgling Rugged Records label in 1994.
Quite simply, this disc blows away any of Basauri's work with Die Happy, and it is on par (or perhaps even BETTER) than that legendary first Badlands album when it comes to straight up, bluesy '70s style hard rock/metal. Must hear tracks include the opening "Soul Shaker," the moody "Wolves at the Door," the crunchy "Hellbound Train" and especially the amazing "Shades of Purple," a salute to Gillan, Blackmore & Co. that I swear sounds like a lost Deep Purple B-Side from the MACHINE HEAD era. Basauri's wailing his ass off ala Gillan while Howell rips out a wall of Ritchie inspired riffs and the Jon Lord style keyboardisms are in full effect, it's awesome!!!
Unfortunately BLOOD would be the one and only album from this promising band. Whether its failure was due to the hazards of being signed to a brand new, inexperienced record label, or simply the fact that this sort of music was hopelessly out of vogue in 1994 depends on who you ask, I guess. Either way, it's a fine hard rock album that still holds up well today and is worth seeking out.
Hey, thanks so much for mentioning these guys. I have never heard of them, but, damn, from the youtube clip, I think I am in love! Definitely Badlands style. Awesome!!!!

Gene Simmons is one of the biggest egomaniacs/douche-bags I have ever seen. I have never seen anyone with a higher opinion of themselves, not even Donald Trump. Gene is very smart, though, and I'm sure this is just a "stunt" to get more viewers so he can get ever richer. Music wise, he has no room to gloat. For the most part, he and the rest of KISS suck!!! (Please, I know this is just my opinion, so don't freak out, Kiss fans).
