According to AOL's Noisecreep, KISS has announced the next leg of its U.S. tour in support of the band's latest studio album, "Sonic Boom", featuring stops in both amphitheaters and arenas.

Instead of selecting an established band as support, KISS has teamed up with Guitar Center to discover a talented, unsigned act. The Guitar Center On-Stage competition will allow unsigned rock bands to compete for a chance to open for KISS at 22 different tour stops.

I'm so close to the VA Beach Ampitheater I walk to the shows, but I doubt I go to this one. After seeing them about five times, plus not wanting to hear anything from the new record, I think I'll pass...

They only play maybe 3 songs from sonic boom. It's really 99% vintage Kiss songs. Unless they change the set list for some reason.

They were playing Crazy Nights in Europe.
I hate that song!

I don't care for anything between Lick It Up & Revenge.

It's good for rock that they continue to tour. For me, I cannot support this sham with Frankentommy up their. KISS ended a long time ago for me. The reunion was great, but sans Ace and Peter its yawn, gag, snore. If they took off the makeup and toured I could accept that. Or new make up/characters. But not this un-psycho circus sham. :(

I would insert some images to get you pumped up about the show but I can't find the attahce image button. :(

People just becasue Ace and Peter are no longer in the band doesn't mean it's not KISS.

No it's HALF of Kiss. :biggrin:

One thing is cool though.....the fact they are having contests so unsigned bands can open for them. THAT is REALLY cool. Giving back to the Rock Community, so to speak.

I saw Kiss once in the late 80's. Worst show ever! The stage was shaped like a horseshoe. This big finale was a couple lights above them exploded and began to fall. Yawn. I had a bigger pop when I popped a light bulb in my desk lamp. The whole show was just boring. Now, my friends who are Kiss fans swear to me that it was just a bad show. Pyros didn't work right, sound was off, band was off, etc... But I've never gone back. Fuck em.

But, they are now getting up there in age. Last tour? Should I give them another shot? Fuck. I just don't wanna plop down $100 for another weak ass show with half of Kiss. Plus I only like the old stuff. Have they even released anything new since Animalize? That's how much I follow them nowadays.

Well, the show I would see is Phoenix, AZ. Last on the list. So if they get overall good reviews here, I might go. So anyone who goes, get those reviews up here for us.

Yeah. In hindsight, that was the one I should have gone to.

KI$$ don't do anything for anyone but themselves. I suspect this is a cheap way to not have to pay an opening band.

I can live without Ace and Peter in the band and it still being called KISS. What pisses me off is these two clowns they trot out every night in their makeup. I'm a die hard, but I draw the line there.

The show itself is good, the old songs are good. Frankentommy can pull them off, but he's no Ace. Just a scab.

They have come here a couple of times in the past few years. I purposely did not go each time.

If I want to see Kiss, or hear Paul Stanley screaming about needing some Cold Gin, I will just get out one of my DVDs of their shows in the 70s when they were kicking ass and taking names, and watch it. I get just as much enjoyment out of it, and I do not have to shell out $100, fight traffic, etc.

When I went & saw them in the 80's, that is what I was hoping for. My older brother had seen them in the late 70's. He is into Kiss like I'm into VH.

I saw them in the mid-80s, and they were fucking lame.

Saw them about a year or two later, expecting them to suck again, and they came out and kicked my ass.

The Non Make Up years sucked.
Their last 3 tours since '"The Farewell" have been great.
