Fuck me, Cozy & Bonnet's resumes are one banger after another. Much spinning of MSG '83, ASSAULT ATTACK and Down To Earth this weekend.
All Night Long bangs its vintage riffing dick on the floor and brings the roof down,
Victim of Illusion exemplifies its LPs seamless murderface chug and smoove croon, however, to take the thread title OVERLY literally

I am currently bopping along to
DARK ANGEL by Barney and Johnny's side gig ELECTRONIC, the former's goofy lyrics as endearing as they ever were over 90s CLUB SOUND
"What can I do, I'll never be the same, another day without you will drive me insane" BAAAHAHAHAAA ![Image](https://i.imgur.com/PjDa5JO.gif)
ITS A HEP TUNE >;3

Reminds me, I need to get around to yet another of Cozy's discography,
Edge of the World by Tipton, Entwhistle & Powell (with Don Airey on keys, another stalwart figure).
Unknown Soldier / Friendly Fire is a good'un, I know that much.
Even if they'll never take the blame
At least put me to rest
Give me back my name
Reminds me of Lemmy's deftly
Spinal Tap-dodging
1916, and come to think of it, Barney & co's
Love Vigilantes. Now that there be a requiemful tune!

I've had a longtime love/meh relationship with KISS. The brand name is infamously over-marketed to hell and back - I've no interest in any of that stuff. More importantly, quite a bit of their 70s catalogue fuckin rips, in its mildly metallized sleazy rock n' roll way.

...and I think they had some solid performances in the 80s and early 90s, too.
Creatures of the Night (album ver's
heavier take is great too) and
Black Diamond off
Animalize Live are scintillating glam metal blasts - the same concert's
UNDER THE GUN and
Young And Wasted would do Motorhead mk1 proud, full-throttle stripped-down punky sleaze.
Whole concert's got a killer vibe to it - 80s US glam metal given an almighty kick up the ass. Also, I'm gayer than a motherfucker for Paul Stanley's Cher x STALLONE look here. Fight me IRL.

RIP Eric Carr, a ferocious live presence and one of rock music's truly tragic losses.
Anyhoo, been trying out Ace Frehley's solo stuff. I know he's always had a diehard following, got exactly the sloppy yet punishingly hard-hitting rock I was hoping for. Mostly been dabbling in late 80s live footage, but his 2016
Origins album's got some good stuff too, including an absolute fire-breathing skull-shattering
Parasite redux. As brutal as rock n' roll gets before smelting into outright bludgeoning metal, I love it.
Late 80s live
Rocket Ride (what an infernally catchy yet balls-hard riff! recalls Motorhead's slamming
Black Heart), a speed-freaked
Parasite from '92, and this more recent
Rip It Out remind me of Heartbreakers-era Johnny Thunders - addled yet animalistically agile and relentless sleaze-rock. Fan favourite the daft yet unashamedly chest-beating
Rock Soldiers worth a listen for its atmospheric, smouldering verse lick.
I like this guy's style, he's a living burnout that's still somehow mostly functional, I imagine his medically remarked tolerance for the 'ludes helping with that. Good to see he's still in fine form after one of the more hellacious 70s rocker crash/burns I've read of lately.
