Gene Simmons and KISS are household names. nobody can name the drummer of Velvet underground, cause nobody cares. It's that simple.

And Lou Reed worked with KISS in 1981 on some songs.

Well its your opinion that KISS was the biggest influence. Just like my opinion is that it was the VU. Quit touting your opinion as fact.

I said KISS and Zeppelin are more influential than the velvet underground.
Its a fact the biggest things in the 70s were KISS, Led Zep and lightweight like ABBA and Bee Gees.

Velvet Underground??? nobody cared.

disagree?? too bad.

Is influence really an opinion, or is it just because you can't really know for sure?

Well its too bad if you disagree that the VU were more influential than both those bands. This whole conversation is too bad. Why make the comment. It is opinion, I disagree. You disagree with my opinion. This will go on in circles.

KISSes impact on the touring rock act far outwieghs any lasting influence VU had. Thats a fact, easily seen in the way bands tour and present a show, today.

list every great band that ever opened a show for VU?

I can name you every name in rock, and they opened for KISS.
who had more influence? KISS, easily.

ask any band who opened for them from Jonny Winter to Ted Nugent to John Cougar Mellencamp to Iron Maiden to AC/DC.

I have never seen a single show where some jackass spits blood and dresses up like a clown. Maybe you have, I haven't.

Every name is rock opened for KISS? That is quite an adventurous statement. I bet you I could name quite a few artists who had the dignity not to open for KISS.
