That would be great, my two daughter's (9 and 12) have been constantly asking when they are touring since they saw them in 2008 at the F1 in Melbourne!

...and promoting their new album "Live & Unplugged.....from our life support machines" 

They already have done an unplugged album in 94', which is one of the most successful (along with Nirvana) in MTV history 

I heard this rumor last week and from what I've heard, Australia will be part of their next world tour. I didn't attend the last tour (the only tour I have not attended), because Ace is not in the band. I probably won't go to this one either, however, my 7 year old son wants to see them live, so I might have to go !

Funny you should mention it, Pete - I watched "KISSOLOGY I, II and II" in succession two weeks ago, and it reminded me of how great this band is. Even though I don't approve of the current line up, I was not surprised to hear their last show in Quebec, Canada (current tour), had over 90,000 in attendance.

Not bad for a band that have been around for 39 years !

6 - She aint no woman
7 - The darkest party
8 - Ran outta time
9 - One way to rock
10 - The devil's ode...
11 - live track - to be determined.
12 - live track - to be determined.

Ace is my favorite "all time" guitarist, and is wholly responsible for the Klassic 70's sound. I understand Peter Criss suffered greatly with the fatigue of the last tour and Eric Singer is one of the best drummers in the world, but I can't agree with the need to have Tommy in the band when Ace is touring with his own band and is healthy and sober. Nothing compares with the original line up. Sonic Boom was a horrible record. What I really hate is every new release is compared with "Destroyer", yet "Destroyer" isn't even in the same league as "Love Gun" or "Rock' and Roll Over". Even "The Elder" is a MUCH better album !

I think those photos were from "The Footy Show", and they sounded TERRIBLE on that night (Pre recorded ?). The Gig at the Grand Prix was very good.

"one of the best drummers in the world"

oh thats a big call.

"one of the best drummers in the world"

oh thats a big call.

He was already an established drummer well before his first tenure in KISS. He played in Alice Cooper's touring band for a couple of tours and then landed the job replacing Eric Carr. I've seen him live a few times and he never fails to impress. Obviously not a legend in the same class as Peart, Bonham and co, but I still think he is one of the better drummers going around. My favorite is Mike Portnoy. No modern drummer is close.

Kiss trivia coming up.
1. What year did Kiss play their farewell tour in Melbourne.
The wife & I can't remember....was it 2004?

2. Are they real sounding speakers in those pics??

3. Saw one the other day on the road and wet my pants - name the model number of the Porsche car featured in "Reason to live"?

4. When was the last time that Rage did a Kiss special that went ALL night???

kiss is a good band but thats still a big call, more forgiving than if you said Lars Urlrich is the best drummer ever lol. but still a big call

You havent seen the likes of Danny Carey, and he is a modern drummer,

2. Are they real sounding speakers in those pics??

YES! However, not all of the speaker-cabinets were plugged in for that (terrible) Footy-Show performance, as they'd be FAR TOO LOUD for the capacity of the studio to the point where you wouldn't comprehend what was coming out of them.

Smoke & mirrors, it's all show show show ;-)
