Re: Kiss Plans Reality Show To Find Replacements For The Whole Band
Yep, KISS made their legacy be the epitomy of selling out. I was a kid in the late 70's, and remember the KISS dolls, lunchboxes, Halloween masks etc. They even had an atrocious movie for crying out loud. They dwindled away in the 80's, but came back as a reuinion with their makeup in 96. As a now young adult, I was shocked at how much demand there was for KISS. It was funny they were back, personally I had no desire to see them in concert. They were like comic book hero's to me, that of which I outgrew. But I don't give them much credibility in the music world, they were commercial from the start.

No this is different than before. The potential to have all new members and sold as KISS is much different than releasing dolls, lunchboxes, etc. That stuff I have no problem with. In fact, I love it.
And no they werent commercial from the start. They really jumped into the commercial world in 1976 with the comic book with their blood in the red ink, well after their sixth album. Again, they were and are vastly underrated musically.

NYG 100% of America agrees with you on this. This show will be similar to Rockstar Supernova, possibly an entertaining show, with some watercooler talk contestants, but once the show is over. Lights out!! No way this KISS 2 ever becomes anything more than the one time opener for the next KISS tour & probably 1 poorly selling album (a la Rockstar Supernova). I could care less about a KISS cover band, I'll probably watch the show, because I like the band audition setup & watched Rockstar, but the band will be nothing more than a possible touring tribute band with no known originals.

Yeah, it just seems that sometimes they take the dumbest ideas and think it is brilliant!
Anyone remember the second Monkees band that came out in the 80s that didnt have any of Mickey, Mike, Peter, or Davey in it? Or am I the only who remembers that?:laugh:

I remember The Monkees coming back with everyone other then Mike once near the beginning or middle of the 80s. I didn't know they tried to launch them again with no members at all. How stupid.
Just went and got this off Wiki after being intrigued:
In 1986, Raybert Productions (now known as Straybert Productions) tried to capitalize on the revival by filming a new television series called The New Monkees. Four young musicians were placed in a similar series based on the original show, but "updated" for the 1980s. The show, its accompanying album, and the New Monkees themselves all sank without a trace.
Thats it! Good job on finding that.
