When you do that, are you going to have 'Rollin' playing in the background?
​

I did like their version of MI song for the 2nd film. Everything else they did is terrible including that sythesized bs in the 'Behind Blues Eyes' remake.

I might as well ask you because you'd know, so was 'Whole Lotta Love' a cover of MW's 'You Need Love' or just inspired by it?

All you have to do is seek out "You Need Love" and then listen to "Whole Lotta Love" and the answer will become laser-sharp and clear.

With Led Zeppelin, what happened was...Jimmy, John and John would destroy all other examples of Rock/Blues with their entirely Earth-Cracking musical compositions......then silly, fairy Bobby Plant would come in, daunted, and sing "Heroic Negro" lyrics over 'em, hoping that no one would notice.

In every.single.case. Led Zeppelin's music is light years beyond any old Blues standards, and then Robert Plant regrettably slapped some modified plagiarism over the tunes.

So don't fret! Jimmy Page is GOD, still.

I also like Kravitz 'American Woman' cover slightly better than the original.

This... This is interesting.

DUDE, seriously....sounds impossible and absurd, but I was at this chick's house. We were watching a VH1 Metal thing that she'd Tivoed for me.

Somehow, we started talking about the fact that Paul Stanley:

...did a Folger's commercial, which I've heard on the radio.

She couldn't believe it, googled the f*** out of it, played it, and then, she ended up at some official KISS site, and they had a big menu of rare Kiss sound-check crap.

I continued to watch the show, and she kept muttering titles, then she said "Reelin' In The Years", and I Bloinked and went, "WHAT?!?!?"

She clicked on it, and we heard it.
Paul Stanley...saying "Thuh Things you think're Precious I don't unnerstand..."

Truly, as a member of the Kiss Army, MIND-BLOWING!
