KISS fans protest
Saturday, August 5, 2006; Posted: 11:19 p.m. EDT (03:19 GMT)

CLEVELAND, Ohio (AP) -- About 200 Kiss fans protested in front of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum to demand that the band be inducted into the hall.

Fans, some from as far away as California, carried signs Saturday and had painted their faces in black-and-white to resemble Kiss band members.
Those participating in the half-hour demonstration were upset that the band, formed more than 30 years ago, has not been admitted, 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 Web site.

"Criteria include the influence and significance of the artist's contributions to the development and perpetuation of rock and roll," the site says.
A museum spokesman said it was the first demonstration by fans seeking to have a group inducted.

The foundation that selects inductees is based in New York City, not at the museum.

Re: KISS fans protest
Very cool. I imagine that was a scary site to behold. Maybe the protesters will come again and the crowd will be larger. They certainly deserve to be recognized.

I agree too. Although I don't listen to them much now, I rocked w/ them in my younger days. Below is from their website:


KISS is regarded as one of the most influential rock and roll bands of all-time. Their career milestones are staggering. KISS holds honors as one of America’s top gold record champions, recording 36 albums over 32 years selling over 75 million albums worldwide.

Re: KISS fans protest
I woulda thought they woulda been in there by now. Thats just crazy. Im glad the fans are standing up for them though. Thats just awesome to me. I think that Black Sabbath was just inducted like this year or last year. Whats takin so long i wonder??

Re: KISS fans protest
Yeah, I was kinda wondering the same thing.....what's taking so long. Black Sabbath got in only this year or last? They should have gotten in as soon as they were eligable. That's just wild!

I, too, still listen to them and have many albums on my ipod. Easyrider, you missed the concert at Oak Mountain. They were great and it was my first time to see them.
