the last 2 albums from kiss wasn't really good anyway, their shows are nice especially when they are having fun to play but they will never be abel to make an album like they did in their classic time.

I guess a lot music artists are happy when people like their music no matter if they get paid or not.
Well Kiss will still remain an amazing Band, playing till they die on stage one day.

Its really a good questions what mr. simmons want with the money - i guess it must be a bit more difficult here.
Maybe he just wants the feeling from sucessfull marketing and economizing.
