Celebrity Justice
KISS Won't Make Up with Promoter

Posted Dec 6th 2007 12:06PM by TMZ Staff

It's a case of KISS ... and sue. (Come on people, these jokes are free!) The costumed rockers are seeking $900,000 in unpaid performance fees from a Vancouver concert promoter who allegedly promised to let them rock and roll all night, then failed to secure a venue. Total buzzkill!
In docs filed with the Supreme Court of British Columbia, lawyers for Gene and the boys contend Big Mountain Concert Company pulled the plug just 12 days before a planned September, 2007 concert in Whistler, BC, resulting in "injury to their respective reputations." Now that's playing with fire!

An email seeking comment from Big Mountain Concerts was not immediately returned.

1. What an idiot! If you were going to screw over a band, why would you screw over a band with the money and clout of KISS?

5. Wow, what a bunch of dopes. I bet they don't even make 900k on a world tout. They blew in the 70s and they blow now. Gene and Paul are luck they are rockstars, becasue without that, they wouldn't get laid in a morgue. Although i am sure Paul can find some good man meat anytime.

8. No. 5 - Just try and find any other legendary rock band who has more clout, more money or has had more ass than KISS. Didn't make $900K on a world tour - you really should consider getting off the crack.
