Boy I sure was planning on going to this show until I found out that KISS was releasing a $50,000 gold record 45 single of their song “Strutter!” I’d rather help Gene and Paul as they obviously still need money!
Thanks for the heads up, I will post about that news.
As utterly ridiculous as a $50,000 gold record 45 single is, some wealthy KISS fanatic will buy it. If there weren’t a market for it (as limited as it may be), Gene and Paul wouldn’t put it out. The actual cost to make the gold record is probably a fraction of what they’re selling it, so even if they sell only 10 pieces worldwide (and I’m low-balling it), they’ve already grossed half a million dollars.
To quote the great philosopher PT Barnum: “There’s a sucker born every minute.”
Well put Rtunes68. Love the PT Barnum quote, spot on.
Gene and Paul sold their catalog. Whoever owns their music is now putting out these things for the most part. They are expecting a huge return on investment trying to make the public think the band are behind this. They (kiss) may promote them and receive some payment in some way if just to keep the name kiss (notice I don’t capitalize) relevant.I’m sure when you hear the Avatars they will have to use red recorded tracks so not to pay too much to the new owners of the music.
Wow, Guns is playing! This is turning out to be a really cool event. Hope to see a DVD soon.
