You'd like the Hendrix one Squid. He comes with loads of little effects peddles and you have to connect them to his guitar and amp with little wires. Quite fiddly actually. They don't work unfortunately. You have to make the noises yourself 8^(

Do they make a Tangerine Dream one with a big moog modular complete with patch cables? I'd have one of those.

I'd like a Rick Wakeman doing King Arthur on Ice action diorama complete with ice skating knights, full orchestra and 'Rick' with realistic cape and keyboards combo.

It's on Talk Is Cheap Vol 2. The "It's Kiss" anecdote is about an hour long.

No, you get it for saying you don't like Joy Division
on the liking the Smiths & Kiss I always found the 8o's an amusing time, I wore a Metallica t-shirt at a Cocteau Twins concert once, it was great for getting served at the bar, the fey indie fops treated me like a member of an inferior caste and let me travel hither & thither in my own little cloud of stinking metalness, a foul being tainted with the corrupt stench of Rawk.
Good call on the Crue, they really are the fetid ground 6 inches below the barrel bottom, liked the book though
Ha! A similar thing happened to me in the 80s. I went to a Smiths night in a club in Liverpool with my then lady friend and wore a Led Zeppelin T-Shirt. Some of the looks I got from the Mozzalikes - I may as well have had a dead seal cub draped round my neck.
One of the few things I like about Motley Poo is Mick Mars does achieve a pleasingly dirty guitar tone sometimes. And I do like the way, whilst the other three at least looked convincingly glam trash, Mick Mars looked more like Gollum had gone undercover in a Sunset Strip drag club.
Good old Mick, he does spend most of The Dirt careering from one fuckup to another and being stricken with wasting bone diseases while the others hang out with LA supervixens and hoover up drugs like there is no tomorrow, no excuse for Girls Girls Girls is acceptable though.

The story goes that all his band at that time were serious Kiss fans and so they persuade Henry to blag them all some tickets for a show in some red neck nightmare of a venue in San Bernadino (of Bill n Ted fame) in Southern California.
The piece describes the whole event (especially the audience) and his conversion over the course of the day from the ultimate Kiss sceptic to Kiss acolyte. He also talks at length about his own place in rockbiz and the process of scamming freebies as an undercard artist etc. There is fair amount of class war ugliness as Henry denconstructs the mores of the white American underclass but you know how that goes. He is speaking to an Australian audience so the self-deprecation is amped up to 11. A very fine hour of stand-up.
It's up there with his Ratt routine and to cap it all there is a stand alone track called "The Wisdom of Gene and Paul". Really.
