KISS and Def Leppard, the Spandex and Fiber Tour

Why is this happening?  Why has our society deemed it ok for 60 and 70 year old men to jam into spandex and shake arthritic hips in a mating dance that now requires pharmacuticals?

KISS touring is interesting enough.  After a blow off to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame they go with the cashflow is and tour the country instead.  Bringing with them the hair band of all hair bands Def Leppard… This is the tour to avoid the ‘good seats’ and avoid the Jumbotron.  It may appeal to your ears if they have maintained their sound but it is going to burn your eyes out of your head as you come face to face with the ravages of time.

“Pour Some Sugar On Me” will only flare up the diabetes so use caution.  The tour skips New York City instead focusing on the ‘burbs and with good reason- the target market here is the kids of the 80’s your gear head greaser and prom queen of days gone by.  Get a sitter and jam your ass into your old Levi’s its party time!

There are presales and military presales and pre pre sales and sales and in the end its a shit tour with two bands who honestly need to rest on their laurels (well deserved of course) .  I will never understand why these bands refuse to stop, is it greed? Ego? Both?  Of course, and their die hard fans will be poised over their computers ready to click the button when tix go on sale.
