KISS and Motley Crue to Tour!

So it’s time again for a KISS tour. It’s no secret amongst anybody that knows me that KISS is one of my absolute favorite bands, fuck it they are my favorite band. I saw them ONCE when I was ten years old in Charleston, SC and I was amazed, it changed my life in terms of music. But now they are essentially an imposter band. Not to far from the LA Guns story, Ace goes out and performs KISS songs as does KISS. At least he broke, now imposter, Tommy Thayer’s nose when he left the band. Did I mention that when I saw the band it was the actual last time the original four members performed together? Beat that!

They are going to be touring with Motley Crue which if course includes soon-to-be strib club tycoon Vince Neil, porn star Tommy Lee, SIXX:AM radio rocker Nikki Sixx, and real life grim reaper Mick Mars. Not saying any of that in a bad tongue of course, I would love to see them live. Apparently both bands will be coming with their full stage show, theatrics, and pyro. No idea who the opener will be, hopefully somebody fucking awesome. Taking Dawn has a new album coming out soon, I could so live with that.

About Matthew Kuritz

Born in 1989 in a small town in South Carolina, Matthew was raised on metal. His father, a huge KISS and other classic rock/metal fan and his brother wh owas raised during he hay-day of Hair Metal and Grunge, Matthew was made to do this. I digest any and all music that comes my way; not just metal. Metal for me strikes the rebellious, angry, and energizing nerve that no other music can. Metal has the most talent, most feeling, and most power than any kind of music. I am always up for discussing anything and everything involving metal and other music.
