Can I just point out that, although I find it utterly distasteful myself as a KISS fan, you have to admit that KISSco have, from the outset, always been totally honest and upfront about their merchandising and money grabbing. Simmons has always shouted out loud that he IS a greedy, captitalist pig and has no qualms about all the goodies/tat he flogs. He likes money, wants it and is open about it. And I have to be honest, if I had the dosh, I'd love that DVD set and there's other things such as the action figures I'd like. I would.
It may be be a merchandising horror show but KISS run it and are open about it and I'd much rather that than the subtefuge of so called 'credible' artists like Bob Dylan, McCartney to name but two of many doing snidey deals to flog their wares in Starbucks and doing ads in Japan where they hope their Western fans won't see them.
