Oh how the mighty have fallen. Ace was sitting in with Jimmy Fallon's band last night plugging his new album, but was not asked to do a whole song........King's Of Leon were the band who played.......sad

What's sad about it?
The guy is in his 60s and hasn't been relevant for over 35 years.
I can think of bands far more current who would bite your hand off to get to promote an album to a prime time mainstream audience like that.

I dont like Gene Simmons. He is a sexist, arrogant and very judgemental.

I'll go with the LA Kiss arena football team next year. Simmons asked Tim Tebow to start at quarterback, that's not going to happen.

Well the point that I was making is his old band is still selling out tours and there he is playing guitar and plugging his new album on Jimmy, but he didn't even play a song off it. As a founding member of KISS he will always be relevant to millions of fans.

He is indeed a very large anus.

I saw KISS 2 years ago in Norway and they were awesome. Actually it was a shared bill with Billy Idol, THAT was dope.

I would have loved to see them as the original group.

They honestly should.
I don't think they are in optimal conditions (as they claim) to give shows anymore, specially Paul and Gene. Paul Stanley doesn't seem to realize that his singing is just not at its best as it used to be in the 80s.

Yes, they have juiced every penny they could, but he band's longevity has inclined them to keep on performing and they know that even after they're dead, they'll still make tons out of their brand.
