KISS To Continue Touring Without Any Original Members? - Sep. 26, 2005

Launch Radio Networks reports: Is an all-new KISS on the horizon, one that doesn't have any original members? It's possible, according to the band's manager. According to the New York Times, KISS manager Doc McGhee “has been toying with the idea of recruiting an entire band to…don the band's famous makeup.” McGhee said, “KISS is more like Doritos or Pepsi, as far as a brand name is concerned. They're more characters than the individual person. I think (new members) have a legitimate chance to carry the franchise.”

KISS singer-bassist Gene Simmons doesn't necessarily disagree with that idea. He told Launch that the concept of original members isn't widely held by fans, and it isn't really accurate anyway. “There's no question that there's a core of fans — five-10 percent, my sense is — who believe in original members,” he said. “And yet, when you look at original members, THE BEATLES are not original members — Ringo is not an original member; the STONES — barely. You know, they've had so many members come and go, but it's the STONES; and AC/DC's aren't original members; and VAN HALEN; and JOURNEY…you go down the list of every — almost every band you can think of.”

Þvílíkt sell out, þetta er pottþétt mógandi við allra hörðustu kiss aðdáendur útí heimi. KISS kannski að túra án upprunalega meðlima, semsagt ENGINN Gene, Paul, Ace og Peter.
Ætli Gene fái ekki bara meiri pening fyrir þetta.
Þetta er eins og Iron Maiden á þess að hafa Steve Harris, eða Metallica án Kirk, Lars og James.
