Jamez The first time i heard of Jason and the Scorchers was in the Wildhearts song 29 x the pain, iv been meaning to check them out but forgot about it till i saw you comment (and that was about 20 years ago.haha)
Yes they were,, they should've been up there with Motley Crew and Guns and Roses and White Snake,, it all in who you know and at the right place at the right time seriously,,
@adriannarobeson4758 It is most unfortunate , but their record company (Atlantic , I think) chose not to promote them . Most likely drugged out egotistical record executives responsible for that one . What a shame . Because , we know what the World missed . 🧨
There truly weren't many bands that took their careers in music as serious as Kix did, and its a damn shame they have never received the status they deserve in the rock and roll world.
Yep, I saw them on Memorial Day 2018 in Herrin, Illinois (with Slaughter and Queensryche) and Steve was all over the place like being 60+ didn't mean a thing. They did the entire Blow My Fuse album in its entirety (plus "Girl Money").
Us boomers knew how to jamm and have a good time,, I remember Kixs when they played at Hammerjacks in Baltimore New Year's Eve 86-87 the biggest rock nightclub on the East Coast back in the 80s the place was wall to wall people,,
Incredible how faithful they are to the studio recordings - all the awesome little touches are in there, every exclamation, every pick-scratch, every detail. These are real artists of rock performance, fantastic craftsmen
Totally agree Jeddak ive seen them 3 times in my life and they were all in the late 80s very early 90s..absolutely flawless shows , like you said every little piece of the songs were present and accounted for in the live show.. i would dare to say damn close to perfect even with the subtle imperfections which is TRUE ROCK N ROLL TO BEGIN WITH...
Agree. Saw them at the Great Mills amphitheater in the 80s and also at Hammerjacks back in the day. They killed it each time. One of the best and very underrated rock bands of that era. This was nine years ago and they are still kicking a**!
It’s absolutely true and being an east coast kid Kix as a club band in the mid to later 80s? Couldn’t touch them. Saw them last year. Haven’t lost a thing.
Fantastic live band! These guys paid dues like there was no tomorrow! I have nothing but the utmost respect for this band. If you see this band 1 time live, you will be floored by how tight they, are and the energy they create. Thanks for adding this!

One of the best bands from the 80's. Seen them in concert three times. Once at the Rainbow skating rink, Shippensburg fair and at my high school. Yes played at Big Spring high school.
+Chantly Bakerson Grew up in the middle of this great era' 80's rock will never be equaled 'just like the old saturday morning cartoons I grew up on' NOTHING BETTER.
One time , there was a blizzard. Me and my party companion Robin - we drove through unbelievable conditions to get to Hammerjacks because Kix was playing. Well, there was hardly anyone there, but Kix played any way. Was like having a private show. They are so classy

Steve's voice is still amazing! I put him up there with Michael Sweet, Miljenko Matijevic, Mike Howe and Sammy Hagar ....their voices are just as strong today as they were in the 30 years ago.
Saw this awesome band several times at the Metron in Harrisburg, PA. Snagged several set lists, too, and had them displayed in my dorm room way back when.
Mountain View! I heard that's where they started out, as it was shouted out during their early performances around Maryland. Seen them at least 15 times, and they were banging guitars as 'The Generators' or 'The Shoez' when I first saw them in the late 70's, and they haven't stopped high-energy rocking since! Steve is probably the funniest frontman I've ever heard, and this guitar duo has awesome talent; as they play with synchronicity, then one takes the lead, and it goes back-n-forth with great alternating leads from both players! You can't help but dance or headbang when you're jamming live to KIX! I highly recommend seeing them if have a chance!
Maryland was an awesome place to be a teenager in the 80's. KIX came down from Hagerstown to Pasadena and Baltimore all the time. We had Crack The Sky too and bars like Hammerjacks in B'more and The Network Pasadena. Bongs, Beer and metal. Life was good
I saw them at Rocklahoma 2023, front row. They were still one of the most badass powerhouses in Rock & Roll. They came out, kicked our asses, and left us wanting more! Made a big impression on this 17 year old! That's Rock & Roll!!!
A dream finally came true. I saw them at The Rams Head this past Saturday 9/14/19. Same energy, same sound, basically the same look as always. Best show I've been to in a long long time. Been a fan since 1983.
LOVE IT!! I grew up in MD and have always been hooked on KIX They would come down to Florida in the 90's and I would drag all my buddies to the show and we'd be about the only ones there...lol But my friends fell in love with them!! Steve Whiteman is about the best frontman ever. How can you not be entertained!!!
Saw them at Hampton Rhodes in VA opening for Whitesnake on the Slip of the Tongue tour(90’). Steve had his full belt harmonica holster and that was the first time I heard a harp through an arena P.A. and he/they were on POINT!!!! ‘For Shame’ was incredible live. Total professionals.
I must say this. Kix is one of the most honest rock bands ever. Sure they handle all cliche´s, but they have mixed those so well that it sounds and looks something quite original and .......safe at the same time. Hail Rock, Hail Kix......
LOL! Me too! Mark the bass player produced this....Its probably the BEST concert quality wise KIX has out.....Have you seen this? ua-cam.com/video/JG4u4-sgIG4/v-deo.html
have seen this band live for decades more often than any band EVER...not one disappointing show...Professional as f*ck and I dare anyone not to have FUN at a KIX SHOW!
"Don't close your eyes" is probably the best anti-suicide song ever. The feel of the music and the compassion in the lyrics, I think it's their best song.
Thanks for posting this!! KIX has never sounded better!! I was lucky enough to have met them a few times back in the early 90's when the sound and lighting company I worked for here in Md. was hired to provide stage lighting, P.A. system and monitors for a few of their shows and at the old Paragon club in College Park Md.
J'ai découvert " KIX " avec l'excellent, sinon le meilleur album " Midnyte Dynamite " dans les années 80 un peu par hasard en fouinant dans les magasins de disques.....Je dois dire que j'ai été très agréablement surpris par la qualité de la musique de ce groupe qui pour moi, fait parti de l'un des meilleurs groupes de hard rock de la planète !!! Merci à eux d'avoir réchauffé ma vie..........
I see these dudes play at Rocky Gap Resort with Great White. My thinking was Great White would of out played them but, Stop the Press everybody. These guys just kicked Ass from Start to Finish. I don’t understand why these guys weren’t bigger than they are now. They are Big most everywhere they go. Maryland should be proud of Steve and company. These dudes play Rock & Roll all night long. Rockers all the way. Great show at Rocky Gap Kix. Great Show.
I saw them when they were called the snooze at a little bar in smithburg md called Mountain View.. good times and great memories. I'm 55 and still a big fan.. 😀
I was never a huge Kix fan but had chance to see them, they were incredible live. Didn’t know many songs but it was such a entertaining performance, definitely will see them again...the cereal isn’t bad either 😆.
i grew up with this band they wher and still are one of my favorite bands Steve Whitemen lives 2 streets from me in Hagerstown MD awesome guy to talk with
I always saw them at Hammerjacks,, the biggest rock nightclub on the East Coast back in the 80s it was the 54 of that decade except it was in Baltimore instead of New York and M&T Bank Stadium 🏟 home of the Ravens resides there now where Hammerjacks uses to be right off of I-95 & Martin Luther King Blvd 395,, ahh those were the day's I met my husband at Hammerjacks back in 87 who use to come up there from D C.,,
OMG, THANK YOU!!! This reminds me of HAMMERJACKS where I live in BALTIMORE! BTW, Hammerjacks will re-open in 2017, after 20 years or more after it closed it;s doors!!! Steve and the Boyz ALWAYS played there, and they were SO cool hanging out with the crowd before and after the Shows, ESPECIALLY the After-parties!!! THESE GUYS ARE what put Baltimore on the Heavy Metal Maps!!! So good to hear and see you guys again!!!
I grew up in Sweden in the 90s with KIX through a handed-down cassette from my brother. I really appreciate a variety of different music and genre, but hair metal will always just hit different for me. I got to see them play at the House of Blues in LA in 2010, and it just blew me away how insanely good Steve's voice sounded and how tight they played. This band is incredibly underrated. I wish more people got to hear them, especially when you have bands such as GnR still playing the biggest festivals around the world and just sounding absolutely horrendous. Keep rocking, KIX 🤘
These guys are great, started doing live shows before there albums were even known. Thanks for putting this up, i remember them as a senior in high school back in 81.
Just wondering where you went to HS? An old friend of mine said Steve lived in Woodbridge Va., at one point, growing up(Marumsco Hills or Woods, to be exact), & they were pretty tight friends, so they used to stay at his place whenever they were in town.. just wondering if he was totally full of sh¡t or not?lol I grew up in N. Va, Woodbridge area too, never saw em play there, but many many times in Atlantic Beach NC! Best live show EVER!
One of the all time greats from Maryland. I have seen these dudes several times and they never disappoint you. I love these guys. I can’t wait to see them again at Rocky Gap Resort. Rockers all the way.
OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Absolutely fukin amazing !!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ .love to see them LIVE..HOTWIRE is one of my fav albums of all time..they sound incredible LIVE❤❤❤❤
I only got to see Kix once. When Midnight Dynamite came out, I was fortunate enough to have seen them at L'amour in Brooklyn NY, and it was a flawless show.
This is AWESOME!!! To you 8 thumbs down...you don't get it do you! Or, maybe you are just trolls! (I.E. LOSERS). KIX is all about positive kick-ass ROCK AND ROLL!!! The new album 'Rock Your Face Off' is FANTASTIC and their second-highest charting album ever...right behind 'Blow My Fuse'!!! I am so happy for them. I know Steve Whiteman fairly well as I worked at 98 Rock from '93-'95. I remember THE song when I started there was the live version of "For Shame" from 'KIX Live'. Thank you Russ Mottla! Then later, I worked at Thunderdome. Many many Funny Money shows and the FIRST KIX reunion in December of 2003! Two more followed at Thunderdome. Amazing shows, great times...and still a PHENOMENAL band!!!
Hi Sean! I agree and next time I see him I will tell him! Ha! The new album ''ROCK YOUR FACE OFF' is FANTASTIC though! Probably the last album they will do. To me...it is a bit of the first album, 'Blow My Fuse' and 'Hot Wire' combined into one! Go purchase it and trust me! :)
![Faith No More - Download Festival (2009) [Full Show]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/j7nFiNk157o/mqdefault.jpg)
Kix are for kids! Best times of my life at Hammerjacks and the many shows by the BEST front man around!
Kix Fucking Rocks! One of the most underrated and exposed bands ever!

Yes they were,, they should've been up there with Motley Crew and Guns and Roses and White Snake,, it all in who you know and at the right place at the right time seriously,,
@adriannarobeson4758
It is most unfortunate , but their record company (Atlantic , I think) chose not to promote them .
Most likely drugged out egotistical record executives responsible for that one .
What a shame .
Because , we know what the World missed . 🧨
There truly weren't many bands that took their careers in music as serious as Kix did, and its a damn shame they have never received the status they deserve in the rock and roll world.
They were a good time with a few minor hits, but their lyrics are very basic and they were never top rung.
They were a top club band, got big enough for Gold Records- sounds like revisionist history / woe is any band not on the Mount Rushmore of their genre
@@A1Authority 🤡💩
They had one of the WORST managemnt companies, hence why they didnt make it bigger than they did!
They Rocked better than half that got it BIG!!! THEY ROCKED, Mgt n the industry Did Them Wrong... I was there, they got screwed by industry...
This man is 60 yrs young, he can out rock any 20 yr old off the stage. They all still ROCK like the 80s!!!!!!
damn straight
Yep, I saw them on Memorial Day 2018 in Herrin, Illinois (with Slaughter and Queensryche) and Steve was all over the place like being 60+ didn't mean a thing. They did the entire Blow My Fuse album in its entirety (plus "Girl Money").

Hate to burst your bubble, but if you think live DVDs are 100% live: "you got another thing coming" 😂

I will so miss seeing this band live. Thanks for the years and years of rock and roll🤘
Absolutely one of the greatest Rock/Metal bands ever.
Steve is a great frontman.
Dudes got unlimited energy & incredible stage presence
#KixRules
Well they really weren't metal. Maybe hard rock at best, but definitely not metal.
Steve is a brutally underrated front man.
Got that right bro I just wish I Could see the man alive. 30 years a wish
It’s absolutely true and being an east coast kid Kix as a club band in the mid to later 80s? Couldn’t touch them. Saw them last year. Haven’t lost a thing.
Dale Benjamin this i never heard....that’s a huge compliment to Stevie
He is fantastic. Early 90s , 2020s... doesn't matter. He's got *it*
You fam right he is
Jesus. Steve looks and sounds same as he did as when he was 25!!! Simply unbelievable. He and Sammy Hagar are truly blessed.
Peds
Don't forget Paul Rodgers.
THE BEST LIVE BAND ON THE PLANET.......THE GOD DAMN KIX BAND....BLOW MY FUSE BEST ALBUM OF THE 80'S
blow my was not the best song they you must not be a fan THAT WAS THE ONLY SONG ON MTV ASS
this is rock'n'roll , this is real music played by real musicians. thanks for sharing.
Fantastic live band! These guys paid dues like there was no tomorrow! I have nothing but the utmost respect for this band. If you see this band 1 time live, you will be floored by how tight they, are and the energy they create. Thanks for adding this!
+Scott Ridge Yep! 1 show is all it takes! ;)
Mix Definately THE BEST LOCAL BAND EVER!😊
SHOWBAND OH YEAH!!!
In the style that this dude sings you would think he would have lost some clarity in his voice, but he sounds AWESOME!
He can’t pull off “ Don’t Close Your Eyes “ really anymore. That’s just not an easy song to sing at any age
@@mikederivan5872 ok, yeah, but that’s really the exception here. The rest of the songs are goddamn amazing!
HE teaches singing and vocal lessons these days which explains why he always sounds good
@@mikederivan5872 Agree 💯 %. Props to Steve for doing an admirable job
@@kenodonnell4313 He was actually Lzzy Hale's vocal instructor. She raves about him.
STEVE is A frontman. Really something else. Just gotta love the guy.you can't be indifferent watching him. He is Midnight Dynamite!

I need something to cheer me up, and KIX is the medicine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the best bands from the 80's. Seen them in concert three times. Once at the Rainbow skating rink, Shippensburg fair and at my high school. Yes played at Big Spring high school.
Saw these guys in 1987 when they played with Ratt and Cinderella. Anybody that says the 1980's were not fun you are crazy.

KIX always have been pros!
Nice
Steve will ALWAYS be the best frontman in all of music history!!!
I was at this show - flew in from FL. Used to see the God Damn Kix Band all the time back in the day. Hammerjack's shows were the best!

Absolutely fantastic even after all of these years. One of my faves back in the day, still great.
Steve's voice is still amazing! I put him up there with Michael Sweet, Miljenko Matijevic, Mike Howe and Sammy Hagar ....their voices are just as strong today as they were in the 30 years ago.
16 years old and I have seen Kix 3 times. One of the best live bands out there!!! So much fun and also a lot of good laughs
I’m 16 now! I’ve only seen them once though, but I’m going to my second show in October !
I love this band. They were my hometown heroes back in High School. They put Baltimore on the rock-n-roll map.
I saw Kix open for Judas Priest in 2009, at Merriweather Post Pavilion, and they rocked it!! And of course, Priest rocked the house as well ;)
Saw this awesome band several times at the Metron in Harrisburg, PA. Snagged several set lists, too, and had them displayed in my dorm room way back when.

I saw them at Rocklahoma 2023, front row. They were still one of the most badass powerhouses in Rock & Roll. They came out, kicked our asses, and left us wanting more! Made a big impression on this 17 year old! That's Rock & Roll!!!
Very underrated....Steve still has it along with the entire band.
These guys are so good! They all could have been on The Pony Express. They sure know what they're doing!
Absolutely the best in the buzz my favorite since I could listen to music keep rocking Steve kix
Wow! Amazing performance. Always loved Kix, and for good reason.
A dream finally came true. I saw them at The Rams Head this past Saturday 9/14/19. Same energy, same sound, basically the same look as always. Best show I've been to in a long long time. Been a fan since 1983.
LOVE IT!! I grew up in MD and have always been hooked on KIX
They would come down to Florida in the 90's and I would drag all my buddies to the show and we'd be about the only ones there...lol
But my friends fell in love with them!! Steve Whiteman is about the best frontman ever. How can you not be entertained!!!
Absolutely ~^^
I had seen them from Cockeysville.
Never disappoints 💜
Steve is an absolutely kick ass front man, but the entire band is top notch. These guys can play their asses off.
Best thing I've watched on the tube in a long time.
Saw them at Hampton Rhodes in VA opening for Whitesnake on the Slip of the Tongue tour(90’). Steve had his full belt harmonica holster and that was the first time I heard a harp through an arena P.A. and he/they were on POINT!!!! ‘For Shame’ was incredible live. Total professionals.
This DVD takes me back to the days at Mountain View in Smithburg👍👍👍👍👍👍😎😎😎
Saw them again last Friday night in Connecticut....AMAZING band and always a pleasure to be around.
These guys still got it! They were great when I saw them with RATT and Tesla back in the day! Glad to discover this gem!
I must say this. Kix is one of the most honest rock bands ever. Sure they handle all cliche´s, but they have mixed those so well that it sounds and looks something quite original and .......safe at the same time. Hail Rock, Hail Kix......
after all these years,still rocking the same way,love it,i to saw you guys in philly back in 89...............love the tunes man............ROCK ON
One of the best full concerts I have seen on UA-cam.
I think this is the most lively live I've ever watched. This band has one of the best musicalities. These guys are tough.
Last concert today 9/17/2023 @ Baltimore MD
Since I have found this video on youtube, I have probably watched it 20 times lol
LOL! Me too! Mark the bass player produced this....Its probably the BEST concert quality wise KIX has out.....Have you seen this?
ua-cam.com/video/JG4u4-sgIG4/v-deo.html
He didn't use up his voice over the years....Good for him.....I am so glad to be able to watch this now......
I just saw them. They sounded great and Steve can fucking dance.
have seen this band live for decades more often than any band EVER...not one disappointing show...Professional as f*ck and I dare anyone not to have FUN at a KIX SHOW!
"Don't close your eyes" is probably the best anti-suicide song ever. The feel of the music and the compassion in the lyrics, I think it's their best song.
Give Lucinda Williams "Sweet Old World" a listen. DCYE is indeed a powerful song but SOW and Lucinda's voice is also very moving.
Listen to the back mask to this song..seriously. You will be amazed.
Saw kix at a little club in lancaster.pa chameleon club.......freakin awsome......one of the best live shows I ever seen.
They might be the best live band ever! Baltimore's favorite sons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was soo lucky to have opened up for them a few times on Blow my fuse and Midnight Dynamite. It was incredible..I will Never forget those shows.
kix are for kids forever. 今も大好き
Don't Close Your Eyes over the past 30 years still sounds great. Thanks Kix
Thanks for posting this!! KIX has never sounded better!!

I don’t understand why these guys weren’t bigger than they are now. They are Big most everywhere they go. Maryland should be proud of Steve and company. These dudes play Rock & Roll all night long.

Saw them long ago at the Metron / Metropolis in Harrisburg! Awesome!
SHOW BUSINESS is one of the MOST ADDICTIVE ROCK AND FUCKING ROLL RECORDS EVER!! :P
TY 4 POSTING!!!
Totally agree..⭐
Awesome! The energy of first Guns and Roses and great songs! I'm a new fan!
STILL don’t know how these guys were not HUGE! Luckily they had the big ballad to get more name recognition but their previous albums were RAWKIN’!
If I had to pick just #1 band for the End of the World Concert!!!
It would be KIX !!! They are never Bad ! And I've seen them many,many
times!
You may wanna make preparations.
I saw them when they were called the snooze at a little bar in smithburg md called Mountain View.. good times and great memories. I'm 55 and still a big fan.. 😀
They were the Shooze at that time.
Kix .. the original road dogs .. these dudes were tough as nails cause they toured non stop in them old days .. GREAT band period !!!
Great band. Good to see they're still kickin as out there.
Great band! I remember when they played at rainbow roller rink in Mechanicsburg pa.... Love KIX ....and you don't need blue arms to like it
I was never a huge Kix fan but had chance to see them, they were incredible live. Didn’t know many songs but it was such a entertaining performance, definitely will see them again...the cereal isn’t bad either 😆.
i grew up with this band they wher and still are one of my favorite bands Steve Whitemen lives 2 streets from me in Hagerstown MD awesome guy to talk with
One of the only bands from the 80's that can still rock.
...and they even played "Atomic Bombs" !!!
I always saw them at Hammerjacks,, the biggest rock nightclub on the East Coast back in the 80s it was the 54 of that decade except it was in Baltimore instead of New York and M&T Bank Stadium 🏟 home of the Ravens resides there now where Hammerjacks uses to be right off of I-95 & Martin Luther King Blvd 395,, ahh those were the day's I met my husband at Hammerjacks back in 87 who use to come up there from D C.,,
OMG, THANK YOU!!! This reminds me of HAMMERJACKS where I live in BALTIMORE! BTW, Hammerjacks will re-open in 2017, after 20 years or more after it closed it;s doors!!! Steve and the Boyz ALWAYS played there, and they were SO cool hanging out with the crowd before and after the Shows, ESPECIALLY the After-parties!!! THESE GUYS ARE what put Baltimore on the Heavy Metal Maps!!! So good to hear and see you guys again!!!
These guys should do a halftime show for the super bowl so much energy
The Super Bowl does not have rock bands anymore, they feature crap music now.
These dudes are rockers all the way. Rockers. Steve is a great frontman. Kix Kicks Ass.
Still in love I guess you can never forget the greatest hits and the greatest memories ❤
One of my all time favorite bands. Lucky enough to see them twice back in the day.
I grew up in Sweden in the 90s with KIX through a handed-down cassette from my brother.
I really appreciate a variety of different music and genre, but hair metal will always just hit different for me.
I got to see them play at the House of Blues in LA in 2010, and it just blew me away how insanely good Steve's voice sounded and how tight they played. This band is incredibly underrated. I wish more people got to hear them, especially when you have bands such as GnR still playing the biggest festivals around the world and just sounding absolutely horrendous.
Keep rocking, KIX 🤘
Awesome!!! Forever one of my FAV LIVE BANDS!! f'kn Professionals!
I haven't seen these guys since Blow My Fuse tour. This video is awesome
One of my favorite bands throughout the 80's. So fantastic in music talent.
These guys are great, started doing live shows before there albums were even known. Thanks for putting this up, i remember them as a senior in high school back in 81.
Just wondering where you went to HS? An old friend of mine said Steve lived in Woodbridge Va., at one point, growing up(Marumsco Hills or Woods, to be exact), & they were pretty tight friends, so they used to stay at his place whenever they were in town.. just wondering if he was totally full of sh¡t or not?lol I grew up in N. Va, Woodbridge area too, never saw em play there, but many many times in Atlantic Beach NC! Best live show EVER!
I just love Steve and the guys in @KIX...one of my favorite bands to see Live, even after 40+ years they still Bring it!! 💜🤘🎵🎸🎤
Yep, I think I will spend all Christmas day today listening KIX!!! 💥🤘🔥💃
One of the all time greats from Maryland. I have seen these dudes several times and they never disappoint you. I love these guys. I can’t wait to see them again at Rocky Gap Resort. Rockers all the way.

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Absolutely fukin amazing !!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
.love to see them LIVE..HOTWIRE is one of my fav albums of all time..they sound incredible LIVE❤❤❤❤
I remember seeing KIX At La'mours in Brooklyn back in the 80's and at the Cat Club in NYC. Great band, always had a blast at there shows.
I only got to see Kix once. When Midnight Dynamite came out, I was fortunate enough to have seen them at L'amour in Brooklyn NY, and it was a flawless show.
This is AWESOME!!! To you 8 thumbs down...you don't get it do you! Or, maybe you are just trolls! (I.E. LOSERS). KIX is all about positive kick-ass ROCK AND ROLL!!! The new album 'Rock Your Face Off' is FANTASTIC and their second-highest charting album ever...right behind 'Blow My Fuse'!!! I am so happy for them. I know Steve Whiteman fairly well as I worked at 98 Rock from '93-'95. I remember THE song when I started there was the live version of "For Shame" from 'KIX Live'. Thank you Russ Mottla! Then later, I worked at Thunderdome. Many many Funny Money shows and the FIRST KIX reunion in December of 2003! Two more followed at Thunderdome. Amazing shows, great times...and still a PHENOMENAL band!!!
RadioTodd Tell steve to start making more "HotWire" records again and stop making shit "Show Business" crap albums one after another...
Hi Sean! I agree and next time I see him I will tell him! Ha! The new album ''ROCK YOUR FACE OFF' is FANTASTIC though! Probably the last album they will do. To me...it is a bit of the first album, 'Blow My Fuse' and 'Hot Wire' combined into one! Go purchase it and trust me! :)
Love KIX! Thanks for sharing.
