I remeber Brian saying no tour 2 months before he announced the QPR tour and we then found out they had planned it 3/4 months before

Queen will be recording a studio album with PR on the same month Paul Stanley will be starting a solo tour.
So, how could Queen and Kiss tour together? Sounds a bit impossible for me.

THANK FUCKING GOD THE RUMOURS ARE FALSE!!!
The last thing on Earth I want to see is some pathetic, shit-ass band who has sadly found a warmer North American reception than Queen, headline a tour that has Queen opening for them, and playing a compromised set. It would be eternally awful on a philosophical note for it to be 'Kiss' of all bands. Why? Kiss is probably the only band of the 70's to top Queen in the theatricality/vamp-up area of live music. Also, for my own opinion and taste, Kiss is the polar opposite of Queen, being that I define Kiss as a band with crappy vocals and non-melodic guitar creation, cashing in on a combination of plain-commercial-generic lyrics and riffs, along with a stage image/presence that has nothing in common with their music.
I saw half a Kiss concert back in 1990, within a month of having my first car. My dad picked me up 45 minutes early, offered to wait, and in the end had ZERO resistance from me. I was all too happy to leave such a SHITTY show by such an EXTREMELY overrated band. I was there for their opening band anyways.
Kiss can Kiss my ass!
P.S. One last note... From what I have heard, while Gene Simmons brags endlessly to the public about his large number of women he has had sex with... From what I gather, Roger's history, though less documented, blows Gene off the map. I hate Kiss so much!

KISS, an overrated band. Yeah, right. They've sold more cds and more concert tickets here in the U.S. than Queen. KISS had the number one selling tour in the U.S. in 1996. Queen never did that. Queen really blew it here with their dance influenced music ("Hot Space") and never fully recovered in the U.S.
BTW, I'm a huge Queen fan, so your petty bitching about KISS makes you look ignorant.
Guess who went bowling at Gene's birthday party?
Yeah, it was Brian May.
Guess who drummed on Brian May's tour in support of "Another World"? Eric Singer, KISS' drummer.
There's a quote from Brian May in which he stated that he always thought that KISS and Queen were similar bands; KISS was the American version and Queen were the British version.
Brian has said good things about KISS and Paul and Gene have good things to say about Queen.
Paul Stanley played the Phantom in the Toronto production of "The Phantom Of The Opera". Yeah, it takes a "crappy vocalist" to sing that part.
Paul Stanley's voice has actually gotten better throughtout KISS' 32+ year career. I can't say the same for Freddie's voice. He was losing his vocal range and was becoming raspy in the early '80s.
And with that, a KISS/Queen + PR tour in the U.S. is not off the table. Since contracts haven't been signed, both bands need to say the opposite of what will probably happen.
If this tour happens, you can stay home. We don't need people like you at the show.

Freddie losing his range? Have you listened to Show Must Go On? That's one of the most outstanding vocals tracks ever laid down in rock history and look at the era of it.
I don't mind Kiss to be honest but I'd love to see some reliable figures based upon their US CDs and ticket sales. Can you provide a link for us please?
My gf went to see Kiss on that 96 tour and said they were good. She was a Kiss Army girl at the time. She said QPR (in San Diego and San Jose, Calif) this year blew that tour away musically and the house was deafening at both gigs. She's not even a fervent fan of either Queen or Paul Rodgers.

I'm a huge Queen fan, but Freddie's 1980's voice is nowhere as good as his 1970's voice. He started smoking somewhere around "Jazz" (I think it was that lp) and you could hear the affects of this on his later live performances. Listen to "Live in Wembley '86" for instances of this.

I know, Gene asked me to phuck off so I did.
Seriously, I don't like their music, but they are great business men. Anyone who can convince the masses to buy that crap has to be a genius.
A mentor of mine was told me, "Rubbish Sells". And I have to agree.

But,
The Spice Girls
N-Sync
Backstreet Boys
Britney Spears
have sold millions of albums and non have musical merit. All Rubbish, sold millions.

Once again, I am so damn glad this rumour is false. I cannot imagine seeing any situation where Queen + PR might actually swap headlining duties night to night with a band like Kiss. I don't even see Kiss as a worthy enough band to open for Queen.

A KISS/Queen + PR tour is still on the boards.
Paul Stanley and Brian May were just doing damage control. A tour is not announced until all papers have been signed.
As far as your swipe at KISS goes, KISS outsells Queen + PR in concert here in the U.S. KISS will close the shows in the U.S. if this tour does happen.
If the tour does happen and it goes to Europe, I would guess that Q+PR would close the shows there.
If you weren't so narrow-minded you'd see that both KISS and Queen are very similar bands.
If you knew some history about Queen, you'd know that Brian May stated in one of KISS' books that he always thought that KISS and Queen were similar bands; KISS was the American version and Queen was the British version.
