Might be a really smart money making move seeing as how their merch booth has about billion items & there's something for every budget. It's really the venue that loses out because more kids means less beer that's gonna be sold but they may make it up in soda & nacho sales...<br /><br />I think that kids are aware of who KISS is because of stuff like the Simmons Family Values show, Gene's Dr. Pepper commercials & Simmons & Stanley all over VH1 & VH1 Classic periodically. Hell, even if kids don't know who they are, there are tons of parents who have been to a show that would take their kids for the experience in an attempt to recapture their youth for a night or to try & live vicariously through them. <br /><br />I've seen their show & wouldn't go again but even though it's just fire & pyro, it's more fire & pyro in 2 hours than most people see in a dozen 4th of July's & it's easy for kids to get caught up in no matter how good of musical taste they have.Cousin Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26208080.post-90747145601415851982010-06-05T06:32:09.187-05:002010-06-05T06:32:09.187-05:00What, Gene is passing up making a buck? Guess it ...What, Gene is passing up making a buck? Guess it shows how desperate they are. Aren't you glad you didn't pay to see them? I know I am. I think E's a smart kid, he'd see through the crap and he's been exposed to enough good music that the fire and pyro probably wouldn't fool him. Do kids even know who KISS is? They probably think "Oh these guys wear makeup just like the Insane Clown Posse."Tanjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03878749941601111013noreply@blogger.com
