Kiss And Make Up


"We're Not Gonna Take It
No, We Ain't Gonna Take It...
Oh, wait...that's Twisted Sister!"


Nearly 200 irate Kiss fans showed up in full quiet riot gear this past weekend at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio to protest the ongoing snub of refusing to nominate their boys into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It was a peaceful demonstration, and not a very effective one, since the nomination decisions are made in New York, not Cleveland.

Coming from as far away as California, the Kiss Army marched and carried signs, some with painted faces in black-and-white to resemble Kiss band members, and some with just your normal acne.




For nearly a full half-hour, the kids were not all right and demonstrated accordingly that their favorite band, formed more than 30 years ago, has not been admitted to the Hall of Fame, even though it has been eligible since the late 1990s. Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record, according to the museum's rules.





A museum spokesman said it was the first demonstration by fans seeking to have a group inducted. "Uh, The foundation that selects inductees is based in New York City, not at the museum." Obviously, this Kiss Army is not being all that it can be.



"Am I At The Right Rally??!!!"
