  2. It was always a pantomime. That’s the glory of it. Once rock performers believe their schtick, they truly become ridiculous. This is why satanic death metal from Sweden burning churches lacks charm, and Ghost are making money hand over studded claw.

    • Not a fan of death metal, but I have to protest: it was the Norwegians who burned down churches, and it was like one guy, in the 90s or so.
      Ghost (from Sweden) are probably making good money, but I very much doubt they believe their schtick, from what I’ve seen of them. It’s just as much pantomime as everything else.

        • This is my point. It is pissing about in a 24-carat rock n’ roll fantasy in which all the cliches must be met, whilst appearing to do something new, and if it is done right, and the performance can be sincere for the length of the show, it’ll work, just like Christopher Biggins playing Window Twankey. I suspect the clear greed and cynicism of Kiss when doing this is why they have always been regarded skeptically in the UK.

          I am diminished by mistaking Sweden for Norway, but this is not the first time I have shamed myself in public, and there will be many more times to come. Watch this space.

          • That missing episode of Play school with a presenter from Yorkshire – which window shall we look through today, children? T’round window? T’square window? How’s about T’wankey window? It’s being played by Christopher Biggins, contorting himself into quite a remarkable position.

          • I love Kiss. Glorious fun, which is what music is supposed to be.
            And not just the “early stuff”, a track like “I Love it Loud” is pure joy for all of the right reasons.
            The only unforgivable sin for artists in my opinion is to be boring.

  5. I’m impressed Ozzy has managed to put together this selfie stick compilation from the afterlife for Rod Stewart. He’s a bit of a name dropper though, why hasn’t he taken any selfies with his dead friends and relatives?

    “Oo, look at me, I’m hanging out with murdered rappers and that Amy Winehouse.”

    I’ve gone off him now.

  6. You’d have thought Ozzy might want to seek out Randy Rhoades first once he arrived in the hereafter , rather than the likes of Jacko and Whitney.
