“This is more of a fan gathering,” Simmons says of the Kiss Army Storms Vegas event, which takes place between 14-16 November this year.
Fans heading to Kiss’s upcoming Vegas event would do well to know that it “ain’t a concert,” according to Gene Simmons, who recently admitted that he isn’t even sure if the full band will be there.
Speaking to Rob Rush of New York’s 94.3 The Shark radio station, the bassist – who recently postponed 17 dates of his upcoming solo tour – discusses the three-day Kiss Army Storms Vegas event set to take over Virgin Hotels Las Vegas from 14 to 16 November.
While the name may conjure images of pyrotechnics, platform boots, and makeup-clad rock theatrics, Simmons says this event is something entirely different.
This is much more a fan gathering,” he explains [via Blabbermouth]. “The Kiss Army… are taking over the Virgin Hotel and we will show up, but I don’t even know if the entire band’s gonna be there.”
“I know Paul [Stanley] and I are gonna be there, and Tommy [Thayer]. [Former Kiss guitarist] Bruce Kulick probably will show up, and we’ll jam, answer questions and stuff. It ain’t a concert – we’re gonna do none of that stuff.”
