I TiVo'd it and I really liked it. I wasn't digging Gene's pimping of KISS ( posters, footage, them listening to it for rock history :roll: ), but I think he's funny. Emperor rules. His singing towards the end was so funny. But it's likeable.


Anyone else see it?

This show reminds me of a movie that came out recently... oh man, what was it called? It had a grungy rocker try to bring rock music to a bunch of classicaly trained upper-class middle school kids while finding his own 'inner rocker.'

:roll:

I don't know why you're rolling your eyes at me. Lemme let you in on a little secret...



...I didn't produce the show!...

Can you believe it? I enjoyed School of Rock, so why can't I enjoy this show too? Not to mention that this is real life and I'd like to see how they end up in the end.

Gene Simmons is probably the biggest douche in the history of music. Wait, scratch the probably.

I saw a replay at like 1am. It was ok I guess. It didn't have me laughing out loud. Simmons is a tool bag. But so was that deputy headmaster. Stop trying to act tough for TV purposes. Give me a break. We all know that you signed a contract with VH1, so it's not like you are going to fire Simmons or anything.

Hey guess what, my response had nothing to do with you.

I wasn't expecting much. I knew Gene used to be a teacher before forming Kiss. And that Emperor kid rocking out towards the end to 80s-era Kiss was strange. It's like he just found his old man's vinyl albums and was getting into rock for the first time. I'd hate to think that's what I might have looked like years ago.

It was surprising to see VH1 actually had something on that related to music.
