Kiss's Rock The Nation Live!, Whitesnake's Live 2006 DVDs
Was watching both the DVDs over the past couple of weeks. Wow!...these guys are old, but they still have it. Playing their classics and pounding the music out of their passionate souls.
These are true inspirations as far as I am concern. Why? They Walk the Walk then Talk the Talk.
One thing remains true, audience and fans can tell where they are coming from. These legends knows it and they have to be honest about it. If one is to take note, most of these legends were mere mortals trying to do what they like and enjoy doing so.
Despite the fame, fortune, glamour and status, these people knew where to draw the line at every angle, and where passion and business can mix.
Kiss is one such innovative band. From the start it was clear, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley already had a vision. They wanted to brand themselves as entertainer more than musicians. Eventually, the band grew larger than hell. Merchandise, various franchises and massive marketing made the band Kiss into a major business empire.
But wait a minute...out of all these, what is the core? What is the main drive? It was playing music itself and entertaining people that drove them. They didn't forget people were drawn to them because of their music and their passion to perform.
You will always hear or read that they are always having fun and enjoying what they are doing. That's the bottomline. It was through these that made them form mere mortals to living legends. Oh yes, and not forgetting humble intellectuality.
Whitesnake is another band that has been around since the early 80s. Despite being through constant changes in the entire lineup, Coverdale, the frontman and brainchild, was still able maintain the sound and quality that people can identify as Whitesnake's own. Again, there have been difficulties, especially in this case, where members are changing and you have a job to keep a constant. How is it possible that it maintained and still is one of the best bands of all time? In my opinion, is the drive from your heart that ran on the right passion fuel .
Being an inspiration, is being able to make positive changes in other people's lives, motivate people to take that much bolder step into the unknown, and yet in the end, it is not you who knew of your influence, but it's others. You just do what you knew is true and honest.
The list goes on...but this are the two bands I would like to give tribute to for now.
Check out their DVDs, my rating is " They are still good!"
