Rocker GENE SIMMONS is baffled by rumours his band KISS is to team up with the surviving members of QUEEN for a mega tour - because he's still waiting to be approached with the idea.
Reports the two legendary bands will unite for a series of live dates have been rife on the internet for months - but Simmons insists he knows nothing about the proposed idea.
However, he admits he would jump at the chance to co-headline such an event - and not just with Queen.
He says, "Oh, I've heard that (rumour), but we don't know until it's real.
"I would be happy to step up on that stage. I'd (also) love to step up on a stage with the (Rolling) Stones."

Not many U.S. bands could share the stage with Queen or Queen+PR for that matter. I'm afraid that KISS isn't one of them. Performance wise, KISS is fun to watch, but they just don't have much substance to their music. Aerosmith would be a better choice. I would prefer another British band: Muse, Keane, Led Zep, The Killers, and the list goes on and on. C'mon US! Don't we have any bands that we can put up on stage with any of the Bitish Mega-bands?!
Gene would be the first to know about it - if it ever happens.
PS what's with this mandatory subject field now?

Well they must have some substance to their music for holding the record for the most gold records in the United States (24 to be exact) and have sold over 80 million albums.I would say they take the prize for originality for their make-up..no other band has done that. As far as them sharing the stage...I'll believe it when I see it.

This is such a bad idea. Queen would never tour with KISS!

Creedence Clearwater Revival? Now that would be entertaining, lol.
On a serious matter, I think a lot of American bands will qualify to be able to play with Queen on stage.

Kiss = souless noise.
I'd be annoyed of this turned out to be true because Gene Simmons is such a right wing dipshit.

Queen and Paul Rodgers=I wish I could sing

Very amusing: whatever your opinion of QPR, it has nothing to do with just how very very bad Kiss were and are.

The rumour got mixed up.
Queen is touring with GWAR.

*ahem*
Sales figures in the US have never, ever, ever amounted to musical substance.
Some people have been lucky and achieved both; but one doesn't simply go hand in hand with the other by default.
I love Kiss, I really do, but I wish people would see Kiss for what they are; basically a colossal joke. They're FUNNY, they're unsubtle, completely obvious, not very interesting musically, but I mean... it works. Or it did for a while. The 80's kinda ruined it for me. Anyone ever see the video to "Lick it Up"?

I think Queen should consider Def Leppard, Journey, Styx, Whitesnake and Guns N' Roses long before touring with Kiss. Personally I could care less because Queen by their own weight can still get large venues, and if not than the smaller gigs would be all the better provided they would still bill them.

That'd better be you agreeing with me.
I'm right, anyway. US Charts = great for a laugh but artistically devoid, most of the time. For fucks sake, next thing you'll be telling me Kid Rock is a visionary.
