    Comparing KISS and Pearl Jam is like comparing the Grand Canyon and Disneyland.

    Disneyland is kind of a mindless, fun place for to escape reality and spend a day living in a fantasy world of flying elephants and talking mice.

    The Grand Canyon is an amazing, natural phenomenon that takes your breath away when you look at it and ponder how insignificant your existence is compared to the millions of years it took to produce something like that.

    For me Pearl Jam is the Grand Canyon...but I still like going to Disneyland once in a while.
    :)

    Thank you! What a great, well-reasoned post.

    You have people who get on a roller coaster and enjoy it for what it is, a thrilling experience. Then you have other folks who probably get on a coaster and are all distraught over "What does it all mean!?!?" instead of just enjoying it.
    Do you remember Rock & Roll Radio?

    If you think Kiss are only about spandex and flashpots, you don't really get it. It's about celebrating life, about being alive, you want more, you don't really get enough. It's a state of mind. The belief that you can make it, that you can climb any mountain or succeed at anything you choose. Maybe some find that corny, but those are usually just bitter, victimized, unsatisfied people. Some guy heard "overcharging for a guy alone with a guitar" and immediately assumed that Stanley was talking about about Vedder. Freud, anyone? Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I give you Exhibit #1.

    What can get better than celebrating a Friday night? if you can get that premise, you get Kiss. If you don't, that's ok too, because life and rock and roll move on anyways.

    Right on, dude.

    What an odd response to your own post.
    The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever. Because this is just a ride." And we...kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok? But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.

    I'll give them one thing -- they are great showmen and great at prying money out of their fans hands.
