The tone of this post from the Rock Shop fellas has me recalling S.O.D.'s 1985 Magnum Opus "Ballad of Jimi Hendrix". But still. Yes. Attend RPM Fest this weekend, yes?

Where to begin? The beginning, I suppose... 1976. KISS Destroyer came into my life, via my older brother (of course). I did not know what a "Rock and Roll" band was. I literally did not know, or even comprehend, that what I held in my little kid hands was called an "album", or that there could even be MORE of these in the future from this band called "KISS". And little did I know that that album, that band, that guitar player with the billowing smoke looking like an ACTUAL real life SUPER GUITAR HERO would be the genesis, the very DNA, that would change my little world view forever. Thank you, Ace. Rest In Peace, Spaceman.
