Man With The Golden Gun

Happy 45th Anniversary to the Alice Cooper album Muscle of Love, the last to feature the original Alice Cooper band.
Awesome version of the Man With The Golden Gun. Too bad Eon Productions didn't use this version for the James Bond movie of the same name instead of the Lulu version.

Beth

Even though it's Peter Criss' song, Eric Carr does a great version.



Kiss - Let's Put The X In Sex

Happy 30th Anniversary to the KISS album Smashes, Thrashes, & Hits. A compilation album featuring two new songs and then drummer Eric Carr singing Beth.
Sad Paul Stanley now hates this song. Not only catchy but great lyrics.
"Baby, Let's Put the X in Sex
Love's likes a muscle that you make me want to flex
Baby, Let's Put the X in Sex
Keep it undercover baby let me be your private eye"
That's poetry.

Forgot to post it yesterday but Happy 25th Anniversary to the UFC.

GoldenEye - Janus

Happy 23rd Anniversary to the James Bond film Goldeneye (also the name of Bond author Ian Fleming's Jamaica home). The first featuring Pierce Brosnan as 007. What better way to celebrate then with this clip. Before he was Ned Stark or Boromir, Sean Bean was awesome as Alec Trevelyan.
