I don't think it's about test of time in this case. I guess  it's about the territory, the place of action.

KISS just had their most successful tour of Europe in 2008.  They also headlined the Download festival for the second time (the first time it was called Castle Donington Festival).   From recent rumors they'll be playing 8 shows in
the U.K. and 40 shows in Europe starting in May 2010.

They've been a functioning band for over 35 years.  Can't say the same about Queen (who's my second favorite
band).

"Sonic Boom" has already sold more copies in the U.S. than "The Cosmos Rocks" and their current U.S. tour
has played to more people than the Q+PR U.S. tour.  Queen peaked in the U.S. with "The Game". 

BTW, guess who Brian May called when he needed a drummer for both his solo tour and to play a few Queen shows?
That's right, KISS' drummer, Eric Singer.

"Sonic Boom".  Heard all around the world.

"Say Yeah"!

And what have you found in my two sentences?
Nobody says that Europe hates Kiss. No wonder that they had tour here. But if you compare their popularity in Europe and US- it's obvious that they are much more popular in US. 
The main point is- any band's popularity differs from country to country.
If you take East Europe- Queen wins over Kiss.
TCR haven't sold much in US- what a "shock".
BTW, May found E.Singer only because C.Powell died.
And May can say whatever he wants to. It's not a cult of Queen here.

Queen + paul isn't Important to me.  I couldn't care less about the cosmo rocks, or paul rodgers.    Anything after made in heaven does nothing for me.   I got nothing to add on kiss. 

Saw them in Belfast in the 90s. Total crap. Not even kitsch value. Just awful.

No, some of you live in a black and white world.  Some of you could never think of liking more than one band.
Too many sheep who live inside the box.  Can't think for yourselves.



 

I think if you were to apply that flimsy logic to everyone in the world who disagreed with you, you'd come off looking awful silly.  (Wouldn't want that would we?)

[/QUOTE] Besides which you're definitely waving the 'black and white', 'only one band' shtick at the wrong guy .... and as I said I like Kiss fine - but for what they are. [/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE] And jokey, gimmicky bands make plenty of money.  The Wiggles.  Spinal Tap.  The Monkees ...  !

 



 




KISS doesn't belong in the same sentence with the bands you mentioned above.  It's obvious you
know little about music.

I thought the movie sucked.  It's obvious you liked KISS for the wrong reasons.

TCR didn't sell much anywhere in the world.

Cozy died.  Brian had work to do.  He hired one of the best drummers out there to not only play
in his solo band, but also to play in Queen.  Tony Iommi recommended Eric Singer to Brian and
Brian was very pleased with Eric's drumming, personality, and professionalism.

There are a few people on this discussion board who do fit the "cult of Queen" label.  The "Queen can do no wrong"
types.  Very narrow minded.

It's obvious to me that you're a massively close minded tit!  Liking something for "the wrong reasons"??  Isn't it my choice to choose why I like something or don't like it?
[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]I could argue that anyone who owns a copy of the "Lick it Up" album has the wrong reasons for liking Kiss and really ought to set fire to it and replace it with some of their 70's material - but at the end of the day isn't that up to the listener??[/QUOTE]

[/QUOTE]Do you even read this stuff before posting it?  What the hell happened to personal taste, on your planet?

This from a guy who claims that Kiss invented it.

People should replace their copy of "Lick It Up" with "Revenge" and "Sonic Boom".

As far as your taste goes, it's evident that the only taste you have is in your mouth.

Wrong, dumbass.  Where did I state that?  Don't bother to look for a quote because there never was a quote.

KISS set the standard.  Everyone else followed their example.

So it's okay for you to exaggerate (in a serious manner), but it's not okay for me to exaggerate (and be kidding)?
[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]I think the best thing about this is the way that you're taking such a hilarious band so seriously.









[/QUOTE]

You need to lighten up.  I don't think you're a dumbass - everyone needs a hobby, Kiss is obviously yours.
[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]Not everyone wants to worship at that altar though, buddy ... if they were perfect, then everyone would love them.  And I'm not a Queen cultist - I hate plenty of what Queen do.[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]
[/QUOTE]You would do well to not go around insulting people just because they have different (and informed) opinions than yours.  I like plenty of good music.[/QUOTE]

I'm indifferent towards KISS,  i've seen them life and they were just awesome.......so entertaining and over the top. It was crazy, and incredibly cool.

As for Gene Simmons though, what a complete moron he is. Paul Stanley is way cooler!

I wouldn't see Simmons as a moron.  Shrewd, perhaps...  opinionated, definitely ...  but not a moron.
