Unless Ace Frehley and Peter Criss come back to the band, I'm not interested.

They'll probably just record a couple of new songs then add them to another greatest hits CD. Besides that, Ace + Peter + Paul + Gene = the real KISS.

I like the real Kiss, but unfortunately they're not together anymore.
The only way for me to see if this will be any good is to give the band a shot and for the people to give it a listen. Then MAYBE we'll be able to point and laugh :)~

Kali, I wouldn't be so sure of that. After all, there must be around 10million CD copies of Chinese Democracy sitting in some warehouse somewhere. Speaking of waste... materials and our ears
