We did it, folks. We made it to 5 years. We are now, as of the publishing of this episode, 5. We’re just starting primary school. Our minds are open and receptive to new ideas, new experiences, new cultures…

If only that were true. This week we conclude our Kiss vs Motley Crue two parter in banterful fashion, addressing topics like who’s the biggest arsehole in those two bands? What notorious (and notoriously awful) shit did they do? What is their legacy?

And we do answer these questions. Mark also tells us which of the bands is “objectively” better by tallying up all the points scored and deducted in his frustratingly oblique point-scoring spreadsheet. Which, by the way, before you ask, you absolutely cannot see. Thanks.

These episodes are perhaps some of the most fun we’ve had doing this show in a while (without booze) and y’know, we’re a bit sad it’s over. It felt like old times. Like when we were young and fit and in our prime.

After we did these episodes we only kept discovering other mental shit about the bands. Like Eric Carr’s solo project featured Bruce Kulick on guitar and John fucking Corabi on vocals. Or that Eric Carr actually played in Lita Ford’s band, which is just another reason why these two bands are tied together. 

Who’s really the winner here though? Do you agree with our decision? What facts are you utterly aghast at the fact we missed? Because let us tell you, there’s a lot. A whole lot. Another two parter’s worth, we suspect. Perhaps we’ll revisit this for our tenth birthday…
