Oh no! I can't handle Queen being with KISS! It's just too horible to imagine! If Freddie were here, he'd beat up that stupid Gene Simmons! Why Kiss? They are like the worst band ever! Oh no! I'm going to have a nervous break down!!!!!!!!!!!
I never thought I say this but I'd rather have them tour again with Paul Rodgers.

Everybody is assuming that because it was reported on a web site (a) Gene actually said it (b) Gene knew what he was talking about and (c) its actually true. I think all three questions are very much open for the time being.

lol. I didnt know record sales had anyting to w/ it. I dont see where this 4 years and then nothing comes from. Yes kiss was very popular in the 70's, and had some mediocore succuess in the 80's...Look at the reunuion tour they had in 96-97 and the farewell tour (not really), they were selling out left and right.
This is not a bash @ Queen but I didnt see Q&PR selling out arenas and stadiums here inthe US when they went as Q&PR
I agree kiss is nothing more than a joke now, but they are and will always be one of the greatest rock and roll bands...FACT

Bullocks.
So sad it ends
I don't know what's better. To end in full glory (as Freddie sadly did) or make it a prolonged and a somewhat doubtful success? Until they all extinct.
I am not saying Q+PR should not tour but all this rumble about (Queen-FM-JD+PR)+Kiss doesen't sound good. They are doing great in the current lineup, not to say that I watched the last years tour with interest.
This rumour though is wicked.

I would like to add that those who claim KISS is a joke now obviously haven't heard them with Singer and Thayer, as oppose to the two workshy wastrels that were Frehley and Criss. Lest we forget, when Frehley came back to the band for the reuinion tour, he had to be taught his own solos again by Bruce Kulick.
The band now gives you all the glam and pyro of the classic era, but performed by skilled musicians who can delivery the classic era material note for note EVERY night. Queen can carry on without Freddie for tours, and KISS can certainly survive without Criss and Frehley, who frankly have very little talent. Eric Singer owns Criss on the drums, and sings 'Black Diamond' better. Thayer is an all round better player than Frehley, and adds a beefed up sound to the old songs. Gene and Paul are KISS.
And I think it's unlikely Gene and Freddie wouldn't get on. What's left of Queen got on very well with what's left of KISS at the Hall Of Fame. Freddie and Roger have in the past shown some wild ego traits with some of their comments, so take Gene's as you would theirs. That's what makes them iconic rock stars.
And for those who say KISS are overrated, how many of their 22 albums have you heard? If, like me you have heard (or own) them all, you will find a surprising amount of diversity - from the pomp of "The Elder" to the heavy, grungy "Carnival Of Souls". And whatever else you say, KISS kick ass live.

I happen to like both bands (having been a teenager in the 70's, they both caught me ears/eyes in '76). As crazy as sounds, I could see them touring together-but I personally don't like it. Most Kiss fans wouldn't really appreciate Queen's music. Obviously, a majority of the Queen fans here don't have much use for Kiss. The main issue I have is that Gene Simmons has a way of saying things that always exposes his enormous ego. And, of course, with Gene, in the end it always about money. Somebody in earlier post jokingly said they were waiting for Brian to say how much Freddie loved Paul Stanley's voice-this was after Freddie died, but Paul actually took over lead in the Phantom of the Opera stage production in New York and Toronto in the late-90's. He got mixed reviews, but the man can sing...not as well as Freddie of course, but better than most hard rock singers.
KISS guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley has shot down reports that KISS will be touring with QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS in 2007.
KissKollector.com reported yesterday that KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons told the "Dudley & Bob" morning show on Austin's classic rock station KLBJ that KISS will take out QUEEN + PAUL RODGERS on the band's 2007 tour. Gene said that both bands had talked during the "VH1: Rock Honors" show and agreed to hit the road together. In typical Gene fashion, he went on to claim in the interview that "QUEEN is playing with us, we're not playing with QUEEN."
However, a posting on KISS' official web site reads as follows:
"KissOnline received hundreds of emails asking about a rumored KISS/QUEEN tour, so Thursday night we asked Paul [Stanley] about the rumor. 'While the guys and I are huge fans and friends of QUEEN and Paul Rodgers, and touring together would be great...no KISS tour plans with or without QUEEN are currently in the works,' Paul said.
"One tour that IS in the works, is the Paul Stanley 'Live To Win' tour, which will kick off in late October with 15-20 shows planned across the U.S." First rumored date: November 14 at the House of Blues in Hollywood, California.

KISS rule, people need to grow up! The thing is... I *know* they're shit. And their egos far surpass their real musical quality. But I love 'em. They're cheap trash and I can't get enough of it.
As for Queen + Kiss touring... don't give a rats. Neither of them have the balls to book a flight to Perth. They can get fucked.
