KISS On The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder {Uncut/HQ}

Always meant to put this up but Halloween marked the 40th Anniversary of KISS' infamous interview on Tomorrow or The Tomorrow Show with Tom Snyder. Tomorrow was sort of a predecessor to the current Late Night franchise as it aired after The Tonight Show from 1973-1982. Anyway, the interview became one of the most famous in the history of the show due to Ace Frehley being drunk out of his mind and making a fool of himself. It's even funnier when you look at Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley who look like they want to strangle him. Snyder seems to enjoy it.

Final film appearance of Desmond Llewelyn as Q in the James Bond series

The World Is Not Enough marked the end of one of the biggest era's in James Bond history as it was the final time actor Desmond Llewelyn played gadget master Q after 17 films and 36 years as he went all the way back to the second Bond 1963's From Russia With Love which meant he worked with the first five Bonds in Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Pierce Brosnan.

In probably one of the eeriest stories out there, Llewelyn gave an interview in November 1999 claiming he wasn't retiring and would continue to work on the James Bond franchise "For as long as the producers want me and the almighty doesn't". Then a month later, he was killed in a car accident on December 19, 1999 at the age of 85.

I'm meant to say this on November 1st but people are now talking about Christmas. I love Christmas time but we still got Thanksgiving to look forward to and Black Friday to dread.

Just found out October 11th was the 15th Anniversary of the North American release of Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door. Another classic.

Happy Belated 15th Anniversary to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas which came out on October 26, 2004. One of the greatest games ever made and a great soundtrack. I appreciate being introduced to songs like Toto's Hold The Line, America's Horse With No Name, and Eddie Money's Two Tickets To Paradise. Also great to hear classics like GNR's Welcome to the Jungle and Ozzy's Hellraiser.
