While both Paul and Gene are old whores, I do wonder if Vinnie really did something that offended Gene on a more basic level having nothing to do with money or power plays? As much as I am cynical regarding anything Gene says, he usually won't dish shit like that unless it's something serious...Comment

Well, I simply smell damage control here. KI$$ stated they will play the winning city. They renegged on the deal and will probably stage a friggen 3hr autograph session at a record store (one item only) to sign copies of the new cd thus killing 2 birds with 1 stone...Last edited by Diamondjimi; 08-25-2009, 10:28 PM.Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!Comment

Kevin Connor of the Sun Media reports: KISS will rock Oshawa after all.
"I just got confirmation that KISS people have contacted General Motors Centre management to hold Oct. 6 and 7 for KISS," Oshawa City Councillor Robert Lutczyk told the Sun tonight.
"I knew Gene (Simmons) would come through." Fans were livid that the KISS bassist/singer snubbed them after they won an online competition to have the band play in their city on its fall fan-routed tour.
The Durham city claimed the number one spot in North America with 14,569 votes, but when the tour schedule was announced Monday, Oshawa wasn't on the list.
"We are working out the details for the concert now. The problem is there is a significant divide between the band members and managers. It's like a government bureaucracy. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand was doing, but I knew Gene would come through on his word," Lutczyk said.

Oshawa? How much does the arena hold? I know the Oshawa "Generals" Major Jr Hockey team plays there. What is it 10,000?
Don't they need full size arenas (15,000+) for the full stage show.Comment

I can't access youtube at work, but I believe that there are some clips from songs on Ace's new disc here...

They were talking with the mayor and he said around 7500 I believe.
He also said that they had just found out something is in the works.
I would imagine they figured there are enough larger places to play within a short drive of Oshawa that they could get away with it.
Nice to see them have to man up and do what they said they were.
Our arena here holds close to 15,000 for hockey...13,000ish for concerts...and they are coming here.
So...you may be right.Comment

This is the official deal over at KOL.
We are happy to announce that KISS is coming to Oshawa's GM Centre on October 7th. After the outpouring of emotion we saw today, there was no way we could follow our original plan and make you wait until a later tour leg. You'll now be getting a special record release show. Oshawa, we promise a good time. Stay tuned for details including ticket information. And, for the other cities, we have plans in the works for you, too."

Looks like CYA with the mention of "Oh you guys were a later tour leg"....lolComment
