Originally scheduled to begin on April 3, in Anaheim, CA, the tour will now officially kick off on May 2, in Peachtree, GA.   These cancellations come as a bit of a surprise, as Gene recently said "I tried to stay away from being on stage, but it's too much fun."  No official reason for the cancelled dates has been given, including any health issu …

KISS have launched Cold Gin. Ok, some of you fans of KISS are saying wait a minute - they released Cold Gin back in 1974.  It's a track on their debut album, and it was written by former member Ace Frehley. This isn't the song being referenced here. The band has actually released a liquor called Cold Gin which is inspired by the song.  Ironically, for a band whose leading members, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, always sort of looked down on the rock n roll excess …

KISS will re-embark on their End of the Road Tour, in February 2020, and they've nabbed one heck of an opening act: none other than David Lee Roth!  A few months ago, I reported that "Diamond Dave" will have a residency, in Las Vegas, early next year.  That's still planned, but those particular shows will occur before and after David goes on the road, with KISS.  As far as Van Halen is concerned, David thinks they're done, but he won't officially confirm or d …
