Kiss Opening Band Competition Heats Up; Fans Vote for Opening Bands

Band Photo: Kiss (?)
Rock n' roll legends (and corpse-paint originators) Kiss are doing something unique for their current tour - they are letting the fans vote on which unsigned metal band gets to open each show.
Go to The contest homepage and pick the city you want to vote for, then check out all the bands in the competition and vote for the one you want to see live!
And of course, all things Kiss can be found at Kiss Online.

Click on "the contest homepage" link above. Scroll down to the Phoenix show and click on it. Then scroll down to Blind Greed and click "demand it". If you want to vote everyday, you'll have to delete your "cookies" first. Let me know if you need help with that Ry.

Agreed HR. We emailed the person in charge of the count on Friday because we had 50 confirmed "unique" votes that never registerd on the counter. We're being told that it will all pan out in the end (*coughs* bullsh!t). I appreciate everyone's support and keep voting for us.

My vote has been cast. I will continue to vote until this contest is over. Then I will find great joy in your defeat. In all seriousness, how can you guys expect to gain that many votes? I guess it's like Journey says....."Don't stop.....Believing"
That's right, I'm dropping Journey reference.

Duke: They're going by "unique votes" and from what I understand from eventful we are amongst the top 3 for unique votes (meaning one vote per person/per day). There is also a top 3 candidate who will be disqualified for promising a meet and greet with Kiss for the person who votes the most overall (which they can't provide). FYI, as I stated above, I think we're too heavy for their crowd anyway so I really can't be defeated with this thing. It will however make my guitarrist cry big crocadile tears.

Valentine: Please do. I have no isue with that. I'm just utterly speechless that you replied to a post directed at you. So, if I may point out... The story is about local bands playing the warm up spot for Kiss, not so much Kiss. Local Metal Underground bands are competing for the spot. Maybe that's why it's on MU? Just sayin...

BG: Yea man, I play guitar with some friends and a little bass as a fill in with another band. Nothing crazy. I'm just tugging your nuts with these posts. I actually like your band and hope you guys have success. I agree with you that you guys might be a bit too heavy for the KISS crowd but good luck with the contest. Going to go vote right now.

Duke: Lol, believe it or not I get that man. You guys got anything up on the net? BTW, we played with Kings-X last time they came through here. Doug has to be one of the nicest guys i've ever had the priveledge of sharing the stage with.

That's funny, I'm a proofreader for a medical printing company. Got to have those drugs, and those drugs have side effects, and the people need to be warned about said side effects. that's where I come in. You wouldn't believe some of the sh** I read on a daily basis.
By the way, I voted today but I see that your dream of 5th place is slowly drifting away Wilson.

Agent 47 is in the medical field as well. So is RTB. I wonder how many of us there really is? For the last time Duke... It's not MY dream, it's my guitarrists. We got an offer to front Winger and Bang Tango yesterday. My bass player threatened us with our lives if we played it. I'm like... Whatever, you know? A show is a show to me. It'd be fun if it happens. If it doesn't I aint gonna sweat it.

oh sh!t....all this hug-bug business reminds me of this idiot client we had a couple seasons back on a desert bighorn hunt in AZ
dude looked just like fvcking santa claus, but had a whiney voice and a self conscious demeanor....and he was a hugger
anything that merited a handshake or a slap on the back, he'd fvcking clamp on for the full wedding embrace....i'm convinced he was a poof who'd not even really realized it yet
anyway, after 2-3 days of his amorous antics, we were all doing prechoreographed acrobatics to evade santa's grappling clutch....one afternoon it finally came unravelled
T-Rex had trotted down the spine of the ridge to look down a cut that a big ram had evidently vanished into, then ran back to give us the report and was ever so slightly winded from his efforts
santa started squawking in his nasal whine "Troy are you okay??? eennnggg, you're breathing really hard Troy, do you need a hug? ennng-hur-dur...."
T-Rex quit breathing altogether and leveled an evil eye at the now squirming St Nick.... "What? Nah, No! Hell NO, I don't need a damn hug! All this man hugging is gonna STOP right here on this dang black mountain out in the goddamned desert!"
poor santa's eyes got all buggy and he just about cried, his poor feelers were crushed! i cried too, from fvcking laughing so damn hard :)

HR: You really need to start a thread in the form. I got a title for ya. "HellRat hunting stories; the one we couldn't get away from". lol. You and I are gonna party some day HR and when that day comes god help the city it happens in cause we're gonna burn that fvcker DOWN!

Metal man needs to go to another site......don't sweat it BG1........just another a-hole voicing his retarded opinion and for those of us who know you BG1....I couldn't give two sh#ts about his opinion....what is he?....like 12 or something?....do all of us real "Metal Heads" here at the mighty MU a favor and find another site to get the attention that your parents didn't give you as a child......this web-site is about intelligent discussions....not putting down people and their bands......something you know nothing about!!!!!......secondly......just my opinion....but Blind Greed's band is pretty damn good......and one day I would like to see a live show and not some lousy, crappy sound recordings from You-Tube.......Rock on BG1......I got your back brother......Fvck these little kids you think they are better than everyone else......they ain't no better than the crack man on the streets.......\M/ \M/....

Don't forget to keep voting folks. There has been talk of taking the top 10 for consideration instead of just the top 5 since they threw LA bands in with the Phoenix show. I'd still like to make the top 5 though just in case this is a vicious internet rumor. Thanks again to everyone for all of your support! Voting now...
163. writes:
TO ALL:
I wasn't going to do this but I am so confident that you guys will not make the top 10 I will put this out there.
Challenge:
If Blind Greed makes it into the Top 5 of this contest I...KickAssDuke aka Your_Mom will stop posting on MU FOREVER! That's right haters! Here is your chance to silence me forever.
Just a little added incentive to all the voters. I know it will NEVER happen so I am confident I will be here for a long time to come.
The gauntlet has been thrown down.

Well get ready to have your nuts tugged on that one bro....
This reminds me of when 50 cent issued that challenge to kanye west....
Lol
Would have been more enticing if that challenge was issued a week ago, but now its like placing a bet on a team that s up by 30points midway in the 4th quarter.....playing it a bit too safe, no?

I was hoping that people would be all like "Yea, F that guy KickAssDuke, let's make one big push to get BG over the hump!" I would have just changed my name and not post for a while so nobody could IP log me. Anyway, it doesn't seem to be catching on the way I thought it would.

i don't know duke, but it seems like you make it up as you go along eh?
damn blind, that is a fvcking great title....desribes about half of our hunters every season.....the ones we can't get away from/done with soon enough!! fvcking goofballs....one of our cooks was tripping out on a particular group of 'internet hunting experts'... man they knew EVERYthing, and they learned it all on the goddamned internet where they also met eachother on fvcking eharmony or whatever the hell it is
Brando was making enchiladas and going off.... "I don't know how you guys deal with it man, I'd push those fvckers off a cliff, be like Ya I don't know, dude must of slipped or something...or I'd just shoot one of those fvckers, and say Ya he was taking a shot and it must of missed and ricocheted off a rock or something, hit him right between the eyes! Or fvck, I'd just leave those fvckers out there in the montanas, let 'em find their own way....Good Luck Dudes, Laters!"
i was laughing so hard i couldn't breathe :)
oh ya, Topics....KISS sucks! BLINDGREED HAIL!! RT is now operational!!! and yes, my friends....we WILL burn that fvcker down!!

In case you didn't already know, you can vote for Blind Greed to play the Phoenix show every day from as many IP addresses as you can get to. The site isn't done very well and it can get confusing, but if you plan to vote for us every day, be sure to delete your "cookies" prior to demanding us. If anyone needs help let me know.
