KISS Featured On CNN; Video Available
- Nov. 5, 2009
|
|
Video footage of legendary rockers KISS showing their support for wounded warriors and reflecting on their 35-year-career with CNN's Naamua Delaney can be viewed below. Guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley says that he feels no shame in KISS being lumped in with other vintage, or classic rock acts — in fact, the band is thrilled with the fact that they're now spanning there different generations with their music and bombastic live shows. Stanley, who's out on the road with KISS in support of their first album in a decade, called "Sonic Boom", told Metal Hammer magazine, "I'm proud to be in the category of classic rock bands — what's better than the word 'classic?' Are you kidding? If you want to call LED ZEPPELIN a classic rock band and then you want to call us a classic rock band, I'm not fighting. If I'm going to be lumped in with anybody, let me be lumped in with my heroes. That doesn't preclude you from being current. It means that you have a solid history and a foundation, which most bands will never achieve because they won't survive that long."

I'm not a big fan of this band, but I have to admit this was a classy move on the band's part. Good for them, way to pay it forward.

That is complete bullshit.
It is totally legitimate to be against the U.S. government's bipartisan obsession with counterproductive and overly-expensive military adventurism, while at the same time showing support and giving comfort to the brave men and women who actually suffer the consequences of those ill-advised policies.
But then again, if you're just a Fox News/Limbaugh automaton, I might as well be speaking to a wall.

Stanley Eisen, stop trying to put you and your crappy circus-act band in the same company as Led Zeppelin. KI$$ couldn't wash Zeppelin's road cases! The only things KI$$ and Zeppelin had in common were that they both peaked in the 70's and haven't done anything musically viable since!

Where is your proof that Tom Morello wouldn't provide support for the troops regardless of his views on war in general?
And furthermore, where is your proof that I'm a Democrat? I used the word "bipartisan" to describe the U.S.'s seemingly-permanent culture of perpetual war. Obama will not extricate us from either of our entanglements regardless of how counterproductive and costly they prove to be.
And just to pre-empt you, I didn't call you a "Fox News/Limbaugh automaton"...I simply said "IF" you were.
And yes, I agree that Perot would have been a spirited choice in '92.

You think Tom Morello is a Democrat? He's actually a radical socialist who has no use for the weak-kneed corporate-backed Democratic Party.
And seriously...how can you be a NADER supporter and then slam Tom Morello? Morello has actively campaigned for Nader multiple times, and slammed Gore as just another status-quo sellout.
I'm not a Morello supporter but to claim that he would piss on our soldiers is pure ignorance. And how can you support Nader when he is likewise vehemently opposed to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan?
So you support the war in Iraq because Saddam was bad to his people? Do you know how many dictators have brutalized their own people under the supportive eye of the U.S.?
Saddam gassed his own people and the Iranians with the tacit approval of the U.S. government because Iran was deemed to be the greater of two evils.
The fact is that Saddam was one of our stooges in the Middle East until he became a mad dog and got off his leash.
Do you support invading every nation where human rights are violated? That would bankrupt this country in a matter of months.
As awful as 9/11 was, a war paradigm was flawed from the start. One cannot declare war on a tactic (terrorism)...what was required was diligent international police work and intelligence coordination, not a bogus war declaration on a state-less enemy.

Bring troops home, if you really care about them. End all sham wars. Terrorism is an invention of the elite to keep us fighting each other, to keep us enslaved. Knowledge is power. Break the evil matrix.

I attack Fox News because it's a blatant, bald-faced propaganda machine that spews misinformation continuously.
I hate the corporate media in general (CNN and MSNBC are only marginally more tolerable) but Fox is by far the most egregious offender...not that I watch TV anymore, since I unsubscribed to cable.
Slamming those idiots has nothing to do with my political affiliation, which is Independent, for the record.

I would rather see Fox news 24 hrs a day than look at Palosy spread her bull shit lies across the country , the funny thing is the Liberals believe every word she ever says, at least Fox lets us know what is really going on. This country can not afford Obama for much longer, and we do not need any one telling us what we must have or we gat a penalty, that is not a free country.

First off, who cares what Tom Morello thinks about anything. If it wasn't for our troops and our military, this country would not be the great nation it is. Fact. Second, Kiss has continued to support the troops and despite what any of you haters say, they have done more to show their patriotism than almost any other band. Fuck Tom, Bono, Eddie Veddar, and all the other "activists". PS-Tom is a fan of Kiss and Paul Stanley.
