bass71player Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 I think that while the stones are better as a team, kiss is better musiciansLets face it, if you matched up Gene Simmons with Mick Jagger, your gonna have egos roughly the same sizeband member wise, Kiss has been able to settle thier differences for different reunions, the stones haven'tlive, kiss is better, you can't argue that,while kiss dosen't have the impact in studio, they certainly have a more impressive legacy:make up, capitalism, 4 solo albums at once, Musically, the stones made the same mistake of disco kiss madekiss is better musicians?! are you crazy? they can hardly play their instruments.this was their downfall when i saw them open for aerosmith. peter criss sang "beth" to a tape!also ace has not settled any differences with KISS, and when i saw them no one knew he wasn't in the band cause they just painted his roadie up and didn't say anything!the ONLY thing they have going for them is greed. gene simmons is the biggest douche, but i have to give him credit, he's the only musician who's made a living solely off merchandise.stones.

The band still plays the rest of the song. They just need Rabbit to be able to play the REST of the keyboard part, not just the intro loop.and if you think ace frehley can't play guitar, your on crackYeah, and the closest thing he's done to KISS this year is the supergroup tribute on Vh1 Rock Honors. If you're comparing ex-gutiarists, compare Ace to Mick Taylor, and it's over: Mick wins in a walk.your forgetting the recent kiss reunion tour,that was the biggest selling tour for the year And YOU are forgetting the Bigger Bang tour, which is the biggest selling tour EVER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack99 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 The Rolling Stones are one of the greatest rock n' roll band of all time. It's a shame those summer gigs with Gnr got cancelled... I think Kiss vs. Motley Crue would have been a more appropriate poll, they're all about image and partying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO i think in 100 years people will be looking at the stones' body of work with reverence; if they're looking at KISS's they'll be really confused as to how people fell for such a gimmick under the guise of a rock band.the reunion tour was in '96 for cryin out loud, hardly a great argument here. and looking at axlslash's post, how good are the terms kiss and ace are on when he plays with the supergroup tribute INTRODUCING KISS?musically they have a handful of great songs, but nothing that touches the rolling stones legacy.hmm... maybe i should take some of my own advice and not take this thread too seriously Edited December 4, 2006 by bass71player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
