Funny moe. story: when i was goin' to college, the radio station had moe.
in the studio and they took it upon themselves to wrtie their bandname all
over the studio in permanent marker. Just for that I'll never give them a
listen.
I loved my radio days.  Even had a contest to see who could gues the number
of "moe." in the studio.

The production on the tune does not do it justice. The riff needs to sound
heavier... more sinister.

 [HAHAHAH! For some  reason I have an inexorable hatred for KISS. THeir
popularity scares the heck out of me. But to each his own]
Well, at least the songs aren't of the high standard set by "B O C! You can
be whatever you wanna be! You got the power, we've go the key".  WHatever
drug altered their minds in order to let that slip past decency should be
banned.

For me, the closest thing to that feeling has been Box of Hammers. The way
St Vitus Dance slams into being blows me away everytime. And Overture?
oooooh yeah. that's the stuff.  Even more than that LP though was seeing
the Brain Surgeons live in Potsdam. As some of you might remember my
review's enormity probably gave the enthusiasm away.

I don't care what people say, rock and roll is here to stay.
