Heh. Imagine if Wolfie replaces him and manages to duplicate all of
his bass lines perfectly. Then everyone can truthfully say, "Even a 15
year old could play like Michael Anthony"

That said, I REALLY hope Wolfie isn't hired as the replacement. That
will really suck.

I don't know, man. Better to let the name die with this supposed
upcoming tour than take any cues, musical or otherwise, from Kiss. ;)

If David Lee Roth is onstage and hitting on chicks in the front row,
using lines such as "don't stick your tongue out to me unless you plan
on using it", that's not something that I would say is intended for
children.

Stupidest post of the year, everyone agree?

I was in my early-mid teens when I first was into VH.
Oh my gosh, think of the children!

At that point, Sammy was in the band. Of course, you'd be into them.

It's one thing if you have your 15 year old listen to the music. But
it's a completely different thing having a 15 year old actually perform
the music. When I was 15, I was allowed to listen to everybody from
Nirvana to Slayer. But I think it's a different can of worms
altogether if you have a 15 year old actually performing South Of
Heaven as opposed to just listening to it. And no, I'm not talking
about covering the song in a school talent show. I'm talking about
actually performing it professionally for a well known band.
