I want to hear their cover of "God of Thunder"

no one owns size; espically as a concept......and there have been tons of kiss cover bands out there. imagine el vez copywriting the "mexican elvis impersonator" thing; there could be no other mexican elvis impersonator, ever!

I say THUNDERDOME. 8 men enter 4 men leave. Then they should be signed to a "deal" with Gene Simmons (cause you know he deserves his cut).

dude, if gene was a smart man, he'd franchise kiss tribute bands.....sell all-inclusive packages and discounted merch (not to mention managing them and a promotion company that would book them) that he would get a cut of off the top. kinda like a musical mc donald's. i don't think it will be too long before we see a kiss resturant too.

If Gene was a smart man? He's got his own island, has had his own cereal....I'd say he's a smart man!!

He has always marketed KISS like Lucas and STAR WARS. I am surprised he hasn't taken a piece of the cover band pie too. Anyone know what Gene is worth?

Speaking of smart + Gene Simmons, scary to think that he was an elementary teacher before his days of Rock Lore.
