Kiss - Rock and Roll Over

Me too! Remember the big sticker inside? I remember Love Gun had this cardboard/paper gun thing in it too. I can't remember what Destroyer had. You always got a prize with Kiss records.

Plus you got an invitation to join their fan club (my mom wouldn't let me of course).  The big sticker took a LOT of work to get off of my window once it was time to remove it - heh...

I still have my sticker.

The Specials - The Specials. I was 6 years old and I thought they were the coolest band in the world. I still think that.

Which was the first record album you bought for your own money? Mine was King Cobras "Thrill of a lifetime". A hard rock band that had released a previous single that i liked ("Hunger"), so I bought their new record. I remember dissapointment over the lame sound, not as heavy rock as in "Hunger". It's very predictable songs, not at all my cup of tea nowadays. =)

You must be a bit on the younger side. I played with Dave Henzerling, who went by David Phillip Thomas or some damn name in that band. A bass player I played with auditioned for Carmine Appice for that band also. I went with him to LA for the audition and Peter Criss was at Carmine's house that day. Pretty cool afternoon. Dave toured with King Kobra. They got the support slot for a Kiss tour. Dave said they were getting $35 a day. Carmine was the only one making any money. Carmine was in his late 40's and everyone else in the band was early 20's.

Dave went back to school and got an engineering degree. He married a porn star and has a couple of kids now. He's still gigging around Phoenix. My brother saw him 2 weeks ago. And you're right, those albums sucked.
