I heard that his solo album, back when each member of KISS cut their own record, was pretty good.
Here's that solo album, from 1978. Sounds a bit like The Sweet.

I have no regrets about quitting the NFL.
I also have no regrets about quitting the increasingly gay James Bond:

Bleeding Fool
@BleedingFool

Amazon removed the guns from key art used on every James Bond film on Prime -ostensibly to provide a unified look for the series on streaming. Alas, removing the weapons left 007 in some awkward poses.
What does this portend about Amazon MGM's handling of Bond?

Censored images of Bond, now disarmed, here
via BetaCuck4Lyfe, which coincidentally enough will be James Bond's new cover identity.

But the explosive power comes from a high-energy nuclear isomer shedding energy in the form of gamma rays, and it could provide 1000 times the force of conventional chemical explosives: But in future there may be cheaper ways to create the hafnium isomer - by bombarding ordinary hafnium with high-energy photons, for example. Hill Roberts, chief scientist at SRS, believes that technology to produce gram quantities will exist within five years. The price is likely to be high - similar to enriched uranium, which costs thousands of dollars per kilogram - but unlike uranium it can be used in any quantity, as it does not require a critical mass to maintain the nuclear reaction. The hafnium explosive could be extremely powerful. One gram of fully charged hafnium isomer could store more energy than 50 kilograms of TNT. Miniature missiles could be made with warheads that are far more powerful than existing conventional weapons, giving massively enhanced firepower to the armed forces using them. The effect of a nuclear-isomer explosion would be to release high-energy gamma rays capable of killing any living thing in the immediate area. It would cause little fallout compared to a fission explosion, but any undetonated isomer would be dispersed as small radioactive particles, making it a somewhat "dirty" bomb. This material could cause long-term health problems for anybody who breathed it in. This article is actually from last year. I struck upon it because someone found my site searching for this information. posted by Ace at 09:31 PM Comments Puny human make Gamma Ray Bomb? HULK SMASH!!! Posted by: mhking on June 14, 2004 10:07 PM That's why we have to do something about the Middle East. The killing power of these new technologies is scary, and if we don't clean up the cesspool over there, they will eventually acquire some scary shit. Posted by: Mark on June 14, 2004 10:41 PM Fascinating stuff. It sounds like you could put a small piece on a vehicle or building and detonate it with a laser at your leisure. And miniature missles that are more powerful than the big ones we have now. Wow. So all those sci-fi movies with those ridiculous pistols that blow the shit out of everything in sight weren't so hokey after all. Posted by: rdbrewer on June 14, 2004 10:43 PM Yeah, but with all that gamma radiation, wouldn't we end up having to deal with people turning big/green/strong and getting the proportional strength of spiders after getting bitten by radioactive ones and stuff? Seems more trouble than its worth. Posted by: nathan on June 15, 2004 04:00 AM Gamma Ray would be a great name for a middleweight. In the blue corner, Gamma Ray Washington.... Posted by: Paul Zrimsek on June 15, 2004 10:50 AM I've been following the hafnium stuff for a while, and the jury is still out on this. Don't dismiss it out of hand, but don't start investing in it any more than you started buying Palladium during the Cold Fusion business. Posted by: Bravo Romeo Delta on June 15, 2004 11:10 AM Gamma ray weaponry. Mini-missiles. This is exactly what I want my taxes paying for. Posted by: Alex on June 16, 2004 12:30 PM There are a lot of ways to extinguish the human race. A large comet or asteroid impact is one of them, but global warming is not. Gamma rays definitely are one of the ways. Gamma rays are the great sterilizers of the universe. If there ever were intelligent beings out among the galaxies, they were probably extincted by gamma ray bursts. It only makes sense that the military would be interested in harnessing the G-ray.
