So I'm thinking of going to see Kiss this weekend.
Any reason why I shouldn't? 
= new reply since forum marked as read
This is coming from someone who's first-ever Concert was Kiss/Cheap Trick, on the Love Gun tour, and Love Gun was the first LP I ever bought with my own money (though I'd bought Toys in the Attic a short time before, that was with an Xmas check ... Love Gun I bought with chore money).
They're just not THAT good of musicians, really. Destroyer was a borderline-great album, Rock and Roll Over was decent (both thanks to Bob Ezrin) ... apart from that ... meh.
Plus, Simmons is a right-wing dickbag. I might say something about him and Stanley's love of money, but ... that'll land me in fast trouble.
Hey, you asked me to talk you out of it 
Although I am going to see Panic At The Disco, this week, that will be a much better show.
...Even though Adam Lambert is no Freddie Mercury, I'd go see them before I'd go see Kiss, hands down.
And to think I used to be a member of the Kiss Army WAY back in the day...
I think Gene made that clear back in the 80's. 
is I once saw the Vinnie Vincent Invasion open for Alice Cooper. I think VV and KISS are not on good terms at the moment though lol.
On a side note, the first opening act was Virginia Wolfe - with a young Jason Bonham on drums.
Meh, they are d-bags for sure but I'd still go if someone gave me a ticket. I didn't like them that much back when I didn't know anything about their politics so I wouldn't spend much money on them at any rate. A couple songs I like. I hear their show is a spectacle though so it might be fun if you're high enough.
That will be an awesome show!
