KISS ARMY ROCKED BY ALLEGATIONS OF PROPRIETY


DETROIT ROCK CITY--The Kiss Army, long
respected for its traditions of disobedience,
insubordination and guitar-fueled mayhem, is the subject
of a federal investigation following recent allegations of
widespread propriety among its ranks.

The investigation, which implicates a number of
high-level Kiss Army members, cites numerous reports
of "highly inappropriate behavior among Kiss Army
members, including marriage, steady employment and
child-rearing," said Sen. Paul Wellstone (D-MN), chair
of the Kiss Armed Services Committee.

The Senate called for hearings after securing
testimony from an unnamed Kiss Army insider stating
that Kiss Army Commander Doug Haines--best known
as the screaming concertgoer in the 1978 made-for-TV
movie Kiss Meets The Phantom who wears a mesh shirt
and holds up a "God of Thunder" sign--is now a 41-year-old, San
Diego-area
certified public accountant and father of three.

"It appears that 'Hellhound' Haines, as he was once known, no
longer
rocks and rolls all night," Wellstone said. "Additionally, nor does he
party
every day."

According to the senator, reports from Kiss Army whistle-blowers
indicate that, at most, Haines parties two to three times a week. "We
have
reason to believe," Wellstone said, "that Commander Haines rocks and
rolls
until no later than 8 or 9 p.m.--Friday and Saturday nights only--and
then
sips a mug of hot milk before retiring for the evening."

Though Haines' attorneys were quick to respond to the charges by
producing a photo of Haines and Kiss guitarist Gene 'The Demon' Simmons
making the Satan hand gesture as proof of their client's impropriety,
the
defense quickly unraveled when the photo was revealed to date back to
1978.

Adding to the Kiss Army scandal is evidence from the confiscated
family
photo album of Kiss Brigadier General Tony "Love Gun" Luft, which
suggests
that the last time Luft, 39 appeared in full Kiss face paint was
Halloween of
1985.

Kiss Army officials have promised full cooperation with the
investigation, assuring the public that the matter is being taken
seriously.

"This is not the sort of behavior the Kiss Army stands for," said
General Joe "Strutter" Schumacher from Kiss Army Command Headquarters in
Detroit Rock City, with the classic Kiss track "Parasite" from the Rock
and
Roll Over LP blasting in the background. "The Kiss Army has every
intention
of seeking out the individuals responsible for these polite, responsible
and
mature acts, and seeing to it that they are punished to the fullest
extent of
military law."

But despite Kiss Army Command's assurance of full cooperation with
the
investigation, many critics are calling it a case of "too little, too
late."

"Behavior of the most appropriate nature has has been tolerated
throughout the Kiss Army ranks," said special investigator Hal Mirsch,
who on
Monday filed a class-action suit against the Kiss Army on behalf of a
group
of 13- to 17-year-old males who, Mirsch alleges, have been deprived of
adequate anti-social and disruptive role models as a result of Kiss Army
propriety.

In his remarks before a congressional panel Monday, Mirsch painted
a
frightening picture. "The Kiss Army is not what it used to be," he said.
"As
much as 75 percent of the Kiss Army is now over the age of 40. Once
crazed,
untamed party animals, they are now, by and large, a clean-cut and
responsible group of taxpayers. Over 80 percent are married with
children,
and nearly all of them have full-time jobs. Is that what you would call
'Putting The X In Sex'? I don't think so."

In addition to Haines and Luft, numerous other top Kiss Army
officials
have been implicated in the scandal. Violations range from the
relatively
minor, such as leaving 1996 Kiss reunion-tour shows early to "beat the
traffic" out of the stadium, to the very serious, including establishing
savings accounts to finance future orthodonture for their children. A
top
Kiss Army official was recently photographed attending an orchid show
with
his mother-in-law. Another is
rumored to be involved in selling insurance.

"We are letting Ace, Paul, Gene and all those drummers they had
down,"
Schumacher said. "But most important is that we're letting down the next
generation. They deserve better than this. If things continue in the
present
vein, we won't be able to drive them wild, and neither will they, in
turn, be
able to drive us crazy."

Anyone who wishes to report a case of Kiss Army propriety is
encouraged
to call a special toll-free hotline number. Authorities note that the
69th
caller each hour will receive a limited-edition, autographed copy of the
band's crucial 1975 double-length concert album, Alive, in the original,
silver-foil gatefold LP format.

Awesome news, Kiss were brilliant at Graspop last time. Seeing them indoors will be a treat.

Didn't Kiss cancel the last time they were due to play here, in the mid-90s at the Point? Low ticket sales or something?

Agreed ... I think €50 is an extremely fair price for the show we'll get ... Motorhead were €50 in the Olympia last month !!! - I got a Y&T AND WASP ticket for that price !!!

Yes, they did. Stewart Clark mentioned it on the Last Word last night.

I'd imagine that won't be a problem this time around even with the recession, etc, blah blah blah.

Thanks Red.......
will def get to Airbourne on time so and check them out.....like I said I kinda like the track on that vid, so might track down the album........apparently they do a cover of Black Diamond on it and as they are on Road Runner it makes sense they are on the support slot for KISS.....

Good old MCD - getting the name of the band wrong, it's Taking Dawn - and no sign of a Black Diamond cover on their album......will give it a blast anyway......

Furious-Red

Yea will try get to see them at Airbourne aswell. Last time Airbourn played they had "Stone Gods" and they were class so hopefully its the same with these guys

WRECKEDEM

am totally geared about seeing KISS play in Dublin for the first time. This will be my 36th KISS concert and 1st outside the states. Enjoy the rock n roll party.

NIBBS

can't wait Wrecked.......only seem Kiss once before, I knew Pauls voice wouldn't be great, but they give it socks and the show is amazing, and just to get to see them was good enough for me - now to get to see them at home and indoors - gonna start gettin giddy soon........this is gonna be great..

RayCon

4 weeks from tomorrow ..... :cool:
