    Has anyone else heard the Cheap Trick song Surrender? There's a line in
    the song where they sing,"When I got home/Mom and Dad were sitting on
    the couch/Rock and rollin',rollin' rockin throw my Kiss records out"?
    What's up with that? And in the video they throw copies of Unmasked out
    into the crowd and everybody stomps on the records!! Why Why Why Why????

    I'm tired of all these copycat bands dissin' on Kiss and Kissfans
    shouldn't take it lying down! If it wasn't for bands like Kiss and the
    Goo Goo Dolls there would be no rock today!!

    You missunderstand. The song says his parents rolling on the couch, rolling rock and got my Kiss records out. Cheap Trick used to give out their latest album to some of the audience during concerts. Cheap Trick loves Kiss!

    With all the Kiss albums Cheap Trick has thrown to their audiences, they are probably the largest individual purchaser of Kiss albums.

    ?!?!?!?!??!?

    Huh. Not ONE post here has mentioned the previous line: "Whatever happened to all the season's losers of the year? Every time I got to thinking - when they'd disappear?"

    Considering the very next lines are the ones discussed above this post, are there any of us here STILL unaware of how painfully obvious it is that CT were, like, DISSING THE ABSOLUTE FUCK out of Kiss?

    I don't care how many Kiss albums CT threw out to the crowds or Nielson's quote above stating his thanks to Kiss for giving them their break with the '77 tour - those lyrics are pretty straightforward to this cowboy.

    From Wikipedia: "For example, the narrator describes how he discovers his "mom and dad are rolling on the couch" and listening to his Kiss records late at night ("rolling numbers, rock-and-rolling, got my Kiss records out") This mention was a thank you
    by Cheap Trick who were heavily supported by Kiss in their early days as a support band to Kiss."
