    1) Dio didn't start it in rock/metal... Jinx of Coven did.

    2) Folks, learn the differences between patents, copyrights, and trademarks.

    anyone know about the holding up a lighter at a concert started ? maybe someone can cash in on that, speaking of which that'd be a good prop for someone to dazify don't think I've seen any lighter props here or any of the other sites none that I've noticed plus there are a lot of variations on styles could make and usable in a lot of different renders probably used more than torches

    first time seen that first one forgot about second of course easy to miss as it's a product containt a lot of odds and ends which is actually a good thing might grab these later. The pocket filler product though is a good concept idea for any new content creators who want to start creating but don't know what to I think could call it a junk draw series everyone has one a draw filled with odds and ends could create an endless series of simple products 

    but back on subject glad to hear the trademarking of the devil horns failed bet would've caused a lot of headaches here

    No one does the lighter any longer, it's all cell phones - which is a great idea becuase I've burned my fingers at a few Sabbath Shows.

    Not too surprising, as he didn't have much of a legal leg to stand on. Gene is smart enough to have known this from the beginning, and he also knew that he'd generate countless articles in free publicity. 

    Yes, virtually all the publicity was bad publiciity. But KISS has always been about highly commercial shock rock tactics. When you've gone doen the shock effect road, even bad publicity is good publicity because it gets eyes on your product and generates some type of buzz.

    My brother stayed at a Kiss show while they left the stage and the lights came on to watch the roadies re-assemble the broken instruments and box them back up for the next nights performance. Ah, integrity!

    I'm not crazy about the ritual sacrifice of perfectly good musical instruments. Maybe it meant something back in 1965 with the Who. But it just irks me whenever I see anyone smashing instruments on stage as a cheap thrill to add punch to the finale.
