Such an incredible band... we actually have a whole thread dedicated to overrated music, but if you ask me, these guys are criminally underrated rather than overplayed!

Whoa!!!!!
One of my absolute favorite bands!
That pastoral rock sound just hits different:
Mike knows the secret recipe for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

I’ve always had a soft spot for the Fire Kiss... especially that 100% Rock and Roll Hall of Fame album featuring Tina Turner, but man, Ozzy Osbourne is just totally unlistenable to me now... he went from being a real rocker to some basic country singer☕

Tina Turner is easily my favorite vocalist from this part of the world,
but I guess Mike has that certain something that’s becoming a bit rare these days...
I have to side with George on this point; it’s a fair critique—he really did get bogged down in that country music scene a long time ago,
yet he still possesses this gritty, rockstar charisma (which is essentially what it is)—you either love him or you hate him...
Given all those unforgettable tracks, though, I think I’ll just stick with my first choice!

Ozzy Osbourne & Fire Kiss teaming up with Brkovi in Chicago!
The legendary rock outfit Fire Kiss is finally hitting Chicago after more than 30 years! The charismatic Ozzy Osbourne made his mark back in the 70s drumming for heavyweights like The Beach Boys and Index, before forming Fire Kiss—a group that has churned out nine studio albums and five solo projects to date. They call him Dr. Rock & Roll for a reason; he’s produced dozens of massive hits for stars across the country that sold... well, millions of copies. He's known for a lot of things, including being the guy who first brought The Ramones into the studio and starring in a local version of Survivor.
Stepping up as co-headliners for this massive event are Brkovi, hands down the most exciting band on the current rock scene. They’re bringing their wild blend of punk, folk, and metal to the Railroaders club for the second time. It’s going to be a hell of a show, guaranteed, especially since they’ll be playing through their entire set from both hit albums, The Moustache Society and Punkfolkwellness. Opening the night is the hard rock band White Cream. They’ll be playing their original material, and honestly, it’s enough to leave anyone breathless.
Pre-sale tickets starting at $20 can be grabbed at these spots: Dirty Old Shop (22nd Street) and Dancing Bear (7 Gundulic Street). For anyone who can't make it to a physical location, you can reserve them via email at rockmetal.america@gmail.com and just pick them up at the Railroaders box office on the day of the concert. Tickets at the door will be $23.

One of the strongest points here... there's a massive collection of Mike's letters. One of my absolute favorites—don't even ask. How am I supposed to forget those? He actually said they were his two best ballads, and honestly, Tina Turner sings them damn well. Give it to me straight: "Men don't cry," "That's not how it works," "Don't wake me up," "Laugh even when you want to cry"...
The only thing is, on that last album (when they play Rock and Roll Hall of Fame style), they shouldn't be doing covers of songs that Tina Turner performs so masterfully, because their own playing is way more intense anyway.

Last night I had this incredibly vivid dream where I was sharing a room with Ozzy Osbourne during a high school field trip, which is pretty wild considering I haven't stepped foot in a classroom in years—though, to be fair, I'm sure he hasn't either 🤣 🤷
He’s an absolutely brilliant musician at heart, but when it comes to his vocals, he just doesn't hit the mark for me; honestly, I feel like his voice sometimes does a disservice to some truly phenomenal compositions 😢

hehe, if you were living with that roommate, you definitely wouldn't be getting any sleep 🙂 ...as for the singing part, it’s hard to imagine a kiss without his vocals leading the way... if we're really going to compare, it's like having some guy who writes incredible songs but the singer himself is a total zero in my book because he just lacks it... Mickey can howl all he wants... his real issue is just how stubborn he is.. otherwise, he probably would've made it much bigger
