A Disgusted KISS Army Puts Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on Notice.
In
response to the announcement of the finalists for this year’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductions, fans of rock
group KISS have issued a warning to the Hall: “We’re sending in our forces.”
Known as the KISS Army,
fans of the make-up wearing, blood-spitting icons say they are tired of the lack of respect given to the 70s icons who are
still playing to packed stadiums 30 years after their creation.
“KISS has been America’s number one gold
record award winning group of all time,” says rally chairman Paul Carpenter. “Look at their impact on the music
industry! Artists from Lenny Kravitz to Garth Brooks have said on record that KISS were the most influential musicians in
their lives. The fact that year after year the Hall has failed to place KISS on its list of finalists is not just an oversight
but a disgrace.”
According to rally co-chair Joe Apple, KISS fans from all around the world are already making
plans to converge on the Hall of Fame Museum in Cleveland on August 5, 2006 to tell the Hall and the world that KISS deserves
a place of honor among the legends of rock & roll. “The KISS Army formed as a grassroots movement by a teenager
in Indiana 30 years ago,” says Apple. “We’re going to mobilize the generations of KISS fans who have enlisted
over the years to make this an event the entertainment world will never forget.”
