Rock Hall KISS Off

antiMusic reports: This week antiMusic's Morley Seaver landed an interview close to his heart. As a lifelong member of the KISS Army, Morley was one of many that was a bit PISS'd when the Crock Hall snubbed KISS. Some members of the KISS Army decided that action was needed so they set about organizing a protest at the Crock Hall of Fame. While the official antiMusic take on the Crock Hall is that it is indeed a Crock, it was interesting to hear why Paul Carpenter and Joe Apple decided that it was important enough to protest KISS exclusion in what is pop music's equivalent to a high school election (e.g. The Crock Hall induction process). Morley spoke with Carpenter about the protest and of course KISS. Here is an excerpt of the Morleyview where Carpenter explains why he feels KISS should be inducted and one of the biggest problems he sees with whole Crock Hall, click the full story to read it all. 

antiMusic: What are the reasons why you feel KISS should be in the Hall? 

Carpenter: Kiss have 1 multi-platinum, 6 platinum, and 9 gold videos as well, but the answer goes beyond numbers. Sometimes actions speak louder than statistics. The Hall of Fame's constant snubbing of the fans is unacceptable. We will not sit back and accept what is happening. We will be heard. The Hall states that it will not be influenced by the fans, and that's their mistake and we will show them the error of their ways. Kiss states in nearly every interview they do "If it were not for the fans then we would not be here". I say to the Hall, "If it were not for the fans the hall would not be there either." The bands and the fans are what make up rock and roll not a group of individuals who are biased and uneducated in their ways. They are self-appointed to their positions and I don't remember telling anyone that they could speak for me on who should be considered a legend in rock and roll. They are not the overriding authority on rock and roll. We will change that, wait and see. [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
