Keyser_Soze Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Kiss sells catalog, brand name and IP. Gene Simmons assures fans it is a 'collaboration' APNEWS.COM “I don’t like the word acquisition,” Gene Simmons told the AP, assuring the band would never sell their catalog to a company they didn’t appreciate.

Derek Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I love music from that era, but never really got into Kiss. I am indifferent to this... 'collacquisition'. Actually, no. I'm not indifferent. If Simmons and whomever else are the remaining members of Kiss, are able to split a cool 300 mil, decades after stardom, I say God Bless.

Kal-El814 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Their first few albums are pretty good if you like 70's hard rock / glam. After that, yeesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyPiranha Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Yeah I played some of that back in the day, either from a demo or from flying the black flag. It was very forgettable shooter fluff of the era, but not terrible like you might imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazyPiranha Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 The only thing Kiss hasn’t stuck their fingers into over the years is anything related to taste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamusha Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 People are making a big deal about this because it’s KISS but a lot of other acts with “integrity” like Bruce Springsteen have already sold their catalog so they’re just following the trend of other legacy bands.

ort Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Kiss fandom is pretty weird... it's like, everyone kinda knows it's all just a big novelty act designed to sell merchandise, and it's all pretty silly and dumb, but no one cares and everyone is in on it and buys all the merchandise anyway...

GeneticBlueprint Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 My favorite thing about KISS is all the Family Guy bits related to them. I don’t even mind the sellout/money making/whatever because they’ve always been very up front about that. I don’t really know their music at all though.

Greatoneshere Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 We're hating on Kiss now? Why? No one is claiming they are one of the great bands, but fun? Hell yeah. And unlike a lot of artists they know exactly what they are. New York Groove (for example) is not exactly Kiss (and I know it's a cover but Ace Frehley killed it), but c'mon, this is good shit. My appreciation for Kiss rose dramatically after seeing the excellent comedy Role Models for the best description of Kiss ever. "They're these Jewish guys who grew up in New York and they put on guitars and make up to get girls. And all their songs are about fucking. This song is called "Love Gun" and it's about Paul Stanley's dick." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
