Just need to sound off a bit about the negative BS floating around about Tommy. First off, anybody that has seen KISS V2.0 knows what Tommy and Eric bring to show. They are not only key to the new lineup - which has never sounded better. They are both a huge reason - if not the reason for the band's continued ALIVE 35 success and the "Sonic Boom" heard around the world. Been a KISS fan since the mid-70's and would never take anything away from the "Originals", or any line-up of the band. Don't know why the haters seem to be out there, or why they feel the need to take out their "Ace" frustrations out on Tommy. Recently read articles about Tommy essentially being a clone for his work on "Sonic Boom", and his rendition of the KISS klassic (not Ace classic) "Shock Me". Have these hypocrites recently seen Ace on tour? Ace's setlist consists of many KISS klassics not even sung by Ace himself. Was I bent out of shape listening to Ace play guitar while his band sang "Love Gun" or "I Want You"? No, of course not - I was there and paid to see them, not KISS! Is it proper to call Ace's band "KISS Klones", or a tribute band? Tommy has been and will continue to be the "Space Man" and folks need to get with the program. If you don't care for this line-up - it's simple, don't listen to them - It's your loss. Rock-on Tommy, the "True" KISS Army is with you! See you in Minneapolis.
