O/T: Is Gene Simmons/Kiss really that popular?

[Journeyman]

Detroit Rock City.


My question is and I know someone has purchased it. The casket they made a few years back that sold for like $5,000. I know Journeyman has one somewhere in his house.

No but I remember 8 tracking to Detroit Rock City about 500 times....:thumbsup:

I was never into Kiss and never realized they were that popular till I moved back to the mainland from Hawaii.

If they were any good musicly I would of been the first to know.

Also when Freddy Mercury died I and my friends were astounded at his net worth as Queen also didn;t seem that big.

Although he was much more popular in England I guess?

As big as Queen was in the States, they were twice that over in England. If you ever get the chance, check out Queen, Live at Wembley. There must be 200,000 at that show.

Back in the day, it seemed like hardcore rock fans were not fans of Kiss, viewing them as being silly and gimmicky. I'll admit I like a few of their songs but one of them is not "Rock and Roll All Night" - the most overrated rock anthem of all time.

BOC truly rocks! Kiss cannot come close to what they did musically.

The group sucked, but with that chameleon-length tongue, I'm sure he was popular with Tweed and with many other ladies as well. I sure wouldn't think he was popular 'cause of his looks...

Mr Bump... good one..

Now he and Shannon have separated. As a female, that could care less about celebrity, i could care less about him, but he is a great businessman and and interesting character.

And what with all of these hot Canadians anyway... Shannon was one of our first... and you know the rest.
