Is there anything KISS wont do to make money?

[Wotto]

Sorry - I like the guys.......but this is sinking pretty low aint it......





How truly truly sad

Awesome!!

I much prefer a KISS ice lolly to KISS beer.... its all very 70's having your own lolly.

Oddly enough... i dont mind this at all

Yeah, I miss the cool ice blocks that Peters put out in the 80s and this is a bit of retro nostalgia. I never got to try the KISS ice blocks when they were first released (1 year old?), so this will be cool. I remember a bubble stick ice cream that had a whole piece of bubble gum encased in plastic that you unzipped at the end to eat the bubble gum. If only they'd make those again. Think that was put out by Streets?

As for the KISS beer, sampling a 6 pack tonight. PARTY!

   KISS would do anything for a buck and to get their mugs in the media.

Just noticed this now ? You are about 33 years behind !

These are original wrappers from 1980, with a cutout of the original box. As far as collector's go, these are worth US$150 each. Note the date on these is 1980  . I have a few of these laminated as well. My collection is worth well over $50,000. Last count, i had 76 Tour T-shirts and the rarest T-Shirt from the first tour - before they had "official" marketing !








Since these guys are the most likely the most marketed band in history, the question is often asked - "how ?" - Simple, Companies GO TO THEM. Condoms, lunch boxes, action figures, Kiss Koffins to a real KISS car that was produced by Chrysler. "Brands" know that you put a KISS logo on them, it sells.

Don't blame KISS for the Icy Poles, this was Peter's Ice Creams cashing in on the Australian Tour. Same with the Beer, and Wine.. etc etc. Oh yea, Gene and Paul make HEAPS of cash for doing nothing but being KISS.

Just as a guide - I've been asked TWICE this week about "where can I get a good KISS pinball ?"

The Rolling Stones would be out in front of everyone in terms of total money generated. By a country mile i'd say.

KISS have everyone covered when it comes to merchandise.

Motorhead and Ramones T-Shirts did the rounds years ago as well when Top-40 wannabes wanted to find some credibility. I think Metallica would be behind KISS - The metal scene of the 80's and 90's churned out new T-Shirts every week. It was an amazing time when image meant something.

I'd put Elvis at No 1, then Kiss

I dare say there would be some country and western acts that would also be high earners
