Kiss - 2009 Tour Dates (MSG & Nassau Coliseum)

Kiss

KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons has posted a brief review of NINE INCH NAILS‘ August 10, 2009 concert at Fort Canning Park in Singapore.

Simmons, who was in Singapore on business, wrote in an apparently sarcasm-filled posting on his Facebook page, “Went to see Trent Reznor‘s [NINE INCH NAILS mainman] band. About 1,000 people attended the outdoor event. On other days (it’s a three-day festival), it’s LADY GAGA and KEANE. Band was solid. Good lights. Lots of smoke in every song. Couldn’t see the band. But, boy, was there a lot of smoke. Terrific drummer, who played in perfect time with the tape loops. Good stuff… I loved it.”

Reznor stated in a recent interview that he’d “never want to be Gene Simmons, an old man who puts on makeup to entertain kids, like a clown going to work.” [Blabbermouth]

Nine Inch Nails played Webster Hall in NYC last night (8/23). Their next show is Tuesday at Terminal 5. I’m sure Gene will be happy to see them go (sort of, maybe).

Kiss have announced a North American tour…

This incredible show will feature a new stage set, pyro effects that only the “hottest band in the world” could deliver, and all-new costumes. KISS ALIVE 35 North America also marks the first leg of the world’s first fan-routed tour – in which more than 10,000 individual cities across Canada and the U.S. mounted their own unique campaigns to bring KISS to their towns.

SONIC BOOM – KISS’ highly-anticipated album, and its first new material in 11 years – will be released exclusively at Walmart, Walmart.com and Sam’s Club retail locations beginning October 6.

Exclusively at Wal Mart… Rock!

Tickets for shows at MSG & Nassau Coliseum & other shows go on sale Saturday, August 29th at 10:00 AM. There are also about a zillion presales (my favorite is the “Buckcherry Presale”). All dates below…
