By the way, is it true that Queen refused to let Kiss open for them?



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 



 


I have no idea.  Does anyone know if it's mentioned in a Kiss biography or something?  Myself, I doubt it.  Sounds like it's propaganda from a desperate fan.

That's correct.  You have no idea.

How about providing some sources along with your holier-than-thou attitude?

"KISStory"
"KISS: Behind the Mask - Official Authorized Biography"

Q14: DID ANYONE EVER REFUSE TO LET KISS OPEN FOR THEM?


Yes, only two bands...Mott The Hoople and Queen.

You need to stick with the audiobooks.  It's evident that you're
near the illiterate level.

Where in the books does it establish the reasons for them not being accepted as a support act?

KISS had a difficult time in '74/'75 trying to get on a tour as the opening act, because
they were blowing away the headliners.  They were forced off of tours (Argent, Blue Oyster Cult),
only played a few shows with a band then weren't offered additional shows (Black Sabbath
 and Aerosmith), and were refused an opening slot by others (Queen and Mott The Hoople).

KISS brought out RUSH many times in '74/'75.  The two bands really liked
each other and the two bands' road crews got along great.  RUSH was very
appreciative.  They had been the opening band for some bands that didn't
treat them well.  They also had a difficult time getting on a tour as a support
act (just like KISS). 

Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, and Eric Singer are friends with Brian May.
I've seen photos of Brian at one of Gene's birthday parties.  Brian really
likes KISS.  Eric's a huge Queen fan.  Paul really liked Queen's first few
lps.  He's not into the campy material.  Gene likes Queen, too.  He wanted
the KISS/Queen + Paul Rodgers tour to happen in 2006, 2007, and 2008.
LiveNation wanted it to happen.  IMO Paul Rodgers was the reason why
the tour never happened.  You know Brian and Roger wanted to tour.  Paul likes KISS. 
I believe he did not want to sign up for a long tour, which a KISS/Q+PR tour would have been.

In the '70s Paul Stanley was friends with Roger Taylor (they had a mutual friend in common;
Billy Squier???).   The guys in KISS never met Freddie.  I've never read anything about Freddie
liking or disliking KISS.  I do remember reading that John Deacon didn't like KISS.
