Rock bottom my friends! That's where my beloved band is heading! No true'er a song was penned by this band that they will have to stand by!
Yes, I am a member of the KISS Army! Full fledged 4 Star General my friends! Ihave over $30,000, yes I said $30,000, worth of their merchandise.
I've been collecting everything with the logo on it since I was a child. I would be a much richer man if I hadn't found fireworks when I was a kid and used them against my Star Wars action figures. But today I have to admit we have found a new low........
Now, I'm not as big a complainer about Tommy and Eric replacing and wearing the Ace or Peters makeup. KISS has become memorable for the 4 original members. Let's face it drugs have been hard on Ace and Peter and if the replacements can carry on the tradition, then so be it. However, with that said KISS IS Gene and Paul. Without either of those 2 it's just not KISS. With that said, I hate to post it, but from Blabbermouth we have the following:
KISS To Continue Touring Without Any Original Members? - Sep. 26, 2005
Launch Radio Networks reports: Is an all-new KISS on the horizon, one that
doesn't have any original members? It's possible, according to the band's
manager. According to the New York Times, KISS manager Doc McGhee "has been
toying with the idea of recruiting an entire band to...don the band's famous
makeup." McGhee said, "KISS is more like Doritos or Pepsi, as far as a brand
name is concerned. They're more characters than the individual person. I think
(new members) have a legitimate chance to carry the franchise." KISS
singer-bassist Gene Simmons doesn't necessarily disagree with that idea. He told
Launch that the concept of original members isn't widely held by fans, and it
isn't really accurate anyway. "There's no question that there's a core of fans —
five-10 percent, my sense is — who believe in original members," he said. "And
yet, when you look at original members, THE BEATLES are not original members —
Ringo is not an original member; the STONES — barely. You know, they've had so
many members come and go, but it's the STONES; and AC/DC's aren't original
members; and VAN HALEN; and JOURNEY...you go down the list of every — almost every band you can think of."
Can you believe that?? A touring circus sideshow! Yeah, we've already seen this, their called TRIBUTE BANDS!! Next were gonna hear that this is strictly a Vegas show.........Good gawd!

"KISS is more like Doritos or Pepsi"?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Uh...whoa. Aaron, I'm so sorry to hear about this. Wow that's an aweful thing to do to this band, and even worse when Gene Simmons agrees.
Kiss is suddenly going to become a pure gimick, a brand name. How sad.
Sad day indeed my friend. And to shit in my corn flakes some more I just read, again over at Blabbermouth, that Gene and Paul have found another way of taking money from fans with no return on their investment, slot machines!!! Woot!!
To think that he mentioned the Beatles and the Stones in the same sentence as Journey. Jesus.
I am a total KISS freak too and I have to say that I am SOOOO disappionted to hear this vile news, I must try an re-live the glory days and watch the cinematic masterpiece "KISS meets the phantom of the park"
Kiss sucks.
