    Love love love Kix - saw their second to last show in MN - short set - but still sick - and made a trip to see them on a rock cruise and they stole the show - met the whole band and they were all very grateful and loving life

    Great, great show guys !! As was said, the entire KIX catalog is awesome & there's not one of their songs that I dislike in any way. With that being said, I do have a favorite KIX song. Drumroll please...The last song on the Hot Wire album..."Hee Bee Jee Bee Crush"...It's high octane, in your face with a killer groove. Love it !! Thanks for another great watch !!!!!

      Great list, Matt! And glad you checked out Gear Daddies! Billy's Live Bait is probably my favorite album of theirs, but everything they do is great. They got signed to a major label for that album, played Letterman, and then broke up shortly after. They're revered in North Dakota & Minnesota. Thanks, Matt, I appreciate you!!

    I saw KIX many times and they were always great. The first time was at the Cap Centre (an arena) opening for Aerosmith on the "Rock in the Hard Place" tour. Aerosmith were good, but Steven Tyler was a mess. KIX were supporting the "Cool kids" album. KIX were great and blew Aerosmith off the stage. Every time I hear "For Shame", it takes me back me back to that show. The band members were in chairs 15 feet up the air playing that song. However, the best place to see KIX play was at a club. I saw them at the Reseda Country Club supporting "Midnight Dynamite" and people just lost their minds especially during the song "Sex". KIX were great in clubs, arenas. and at M3. SOOOOOOO GREAT!!!

    Guru - You really need to give Rock Your Face Off a couple of listens. I've always been a big Kix fan, I have all their stuff, and I have to tell you, Rock Your Face Off is highly underrated. It's every bit as good as Blow My Fuse, Hot Wire, and Show Business (another very underrated album). You said on this show that someone on X mentioned Kix never put out a bad song, and it's amazing how true that is. For releasing their 1st album in 1981, they never received the accolades they deserved. I've often wondered if it had to do with naming the band the same name as a kids' cereal.

    • @HairMetalGuru419
