OR it will be after one of the original members passes away (in which case, it's even more of a slap in the face) Not looking forward to the day I hear the sad news of when any one of them ever passes. :uh:

OK...I don't recall the WHOLE story but didn't Simmons refuse to contribute one of his costumes when the Hall asked for it as part of the memorabilia/displays? Either that was a factor in KISS not being considered or Simmons was doing it in the first place because he felt the balloting was a sham due to WHO was being let in.

^^^ combo of "all of the above" if I remember correctly

I'm not sure if I've seen one definitive reason, but I do know that Gene has made more than one comment about the RnRHOF and I think I even saw something of Paul Stanley back stage before a concert making a comment once too.

What comment? I don't remember the quote but something along the lines of "so, what do you think of THAT" referring to a sold out crowd of screaming fans.

I think all you KISS fans should one huge face-painted, tongue-wagging picket line. :grinthumb

I think Simmons said it BEFORE they were even eligible likening the whole process to some sort of dog and pony show. It must've really gotten under the skin of the panel.

I'm not sure if it's really plausible that they'd snub the guy's band because he has a big mouth. They're still one of the most influential rock bands ever IMO. That's hard for my to even type but it's the truth. I still can't believe Deep Purple isn't inducted some 40 something years after the release of their first album.

:pullhair: Let's see Gillan and Blackmore share the podium!
