I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   What’s up with two former members of KISS?  Why are they charging unheard of amounts of money for their latest works of music art?  Does this truly separate the consumer from the collector?    I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

Speaker 1 (00:00):
There is so much going on on Arrow dot net,
aarr oe dot net if you like me when it
comes to podcasts listening, I want a variety, so that's
why we created this network. Aro dot net. We're talking sports, ya,
author's spiritual quests, even grocery store nightmares. Arro dot net
a r r oe dot net. Enjoy your exploration. I

(00:23):
like asking questions, and the reason why is because the
fund begins when you start researching for answers such as,
what is up with two former members of Kiss? Why
are they charging unheard of amounts of money for their
latest works of music art? Does this truly separate the
consumer from the collector? My name is Erro. I'm a

(00:44):
daily writer, a silent wolf. I stand on the sidelines,
so do nothing but watch, listen, study, then activate. I
happen to call it the daily Mess, a chronological walk
through an everyday world. Yeah, this is what I was
writing this morning. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas.
We as people to into thrill things to the side
because we think we're going to deal with it later on.

(01:04):
When a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's
time to dig in. It's still keeping that daily journal,
but by doing the research the picture becomes clearer. This
is the daily mess. This has got to be clickbait.
But then again, I don't think it is. Is it
a bad deal for fans of music who are really

(01:27):
into buying things that belong to a chunk of their
past or something that's going to grow in their future.
The subject we're talking about is Peter Chris and Vinnie Vincent,
who are charging an astronomical amount of money for their
latest works of art. And as a former member of
the Kiss Army, I was extremely excited to see as
well as here that the drummer as well as the guitarist,

(01:50):
we're actually releasing brand new collections of music. Here's where
things go really wrong. But first let's identify the right.
Peter Cris, his pre promotion for his brand new album
was unbelievably amazing in the way of generating the kind
of talk that used to be with when a band

(02:10):
comes out with a brand new album. And then came
the cost one thousand dollars Now, according to upper decision makers,
this move was planted on the website band camp because
the label Flatter Run Recordings set it extremely high to
discourage digital purchases, which I totally understand. They wanted the

(02:33):
music to be in the hands of who the fans
of Peter Chris Well. Peter Chris denies he had set
this price and is fiercely apologizing for the confusion. This
wasn't him, The record label did set free a note.
That's trying to explain their version of the story, only

(02:54):
to have it backfire on him. So is it available?
What they say it is? Thirty two ninety eight for
the fin and fourteen ninety eight on CD. Where I
purchased my music from is Amazon? I didn't see it
going to iTunes. Isn't that digital? And doesn't that go
against what flatteron Recordings was trying to do? They were
trying to discourage digital purchases. Huh. The vinyl once again

(03:18):
is thirty two ninety eight if you can find it,
and fourteen ninety eight on compact disc. Ban Camp has
asked the label to remove that thousand dollars price tag. Hey,
coming up next, Peter Cris of Kiss isn't the only
one pulling something like this off. In fact, it wasn't him,
it was his label. So what's up with Vinnie Vincent?

(03:42):
Thanks for coming back to the Daily Mess. Now that
the Peter Cris one thousand dollars price tag is being
worked on, what about Vinnie Vincent's new album and song collection,
because it seems to be penetrating a lot of headlines
as well. The new song from the legendary guitarist is
Ride This Serpent. The album is titled Judgment Day Guitarmageddon.

(04:04):
Two hundred dollars for a signed limited edition plus a
twenty five dollars shipping fee one hundred dollars if you're
out of the country if you want the first single,
not the album. The single is two hundred dollars. But
but but but but But There is a catch. Nobody
gets it until one thousand orders have been placed. It's

(04:27):
been booked as being a very limited collector's edition, which
to many in the rock memorabilia business, they don't see
that as being limited. It's a thousand copies. But should
fans of the music be upset with that thousand dollars
price tag for Peter Cris's album and two hundred dollars
for Vinni vincent single. Being a fan of Kiss and

(04:47):
a collector of many many memorabilia items, I know what
I've paid over the past fifty years when it comes
to collecting things, so it didn't stick or shock me.
But it was very disappointing as a f fan of music,
one who has purchased thousands, if not millions, of dollars
of singles, and it's like, Okay, I used to pay

(05:08):
only seventy five cents for forty five and now you're
asking for two hundred. But it's a limited edition. All
of a sudden, the fan inside of me is going,
do you know what that means? I still have the
k History book. It is unopened in the box that
it came in because I just want to believe what

(05:29):
they said in the advertising without opening it up and
realizing I was wronged. But was I I don't know
until somebody else beyond me opens that box. The goal
was to help block pirrating entities from latching onto the single,
which protects the fans from promotions of pirrating. Vinnie is

(05:51):
convinced that his work of art will be loved immediately
and feels that if the pirates get their hands on
it first, then it no longer belongs to him. He
openly admits that he is honored by the price if
the music doesn't reach one thousand sales. They're saying you'll
get your money back. Sort of makes you wonder what
he's charging for live concert ticket prices. We'll keep you posted.

(06:14):
I'm Arrow, and that's the daily mess.
