[TowerBuzz]

Kiss concert is an institution and an amazing event. WEIRD, WEIRd WEIRD, line up this year if that is indeed the lineup. Red jumpsuit?.......Kiss Concert? I could see OK Go but....Lily Allen?.............. Just strange for Kiss but it'll sell out becuase of "the Duchess" etc.

I believe Fergie is from the group The Black Eyed Peas who's hit song a couple years ago called "My Humps".

Omarion, I've heard of, but I forgot what the claim to fame is.

 

[SonicOverload]

Dashboard Confessional? They used to be an indy rock band. Weird...

 

[WLYNWAZNgm]

WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? oh gawd...

Pretty strong lineup considering the "one hit makes a superstar" mentality of hit radio.

Daughtry=Huge selling record & hot score for any station in this demo.
Fergie=Working hard to rise up from the background of B.E.P.'s. She's doing a lot of movie work as well.
Red Jumpsuit=Poised to be as big as Fall Out Boy (another huge band in this demo)
Gym Class Heroes=Up-and-comers. Like the use of the Supertramp riff. Also poised to be a Gnarls Barkley like success.
Lily Allen=Doesn't really fit with the demo so much but is getting tons of press. Maybe a favor for the label?
JoJo=Local kid, medium hit recently. Eh.
Dashboard Confessional=Not my cup of tea but does maintain a teeny-tiny bit of rock credibility. Not much but some.

The remnants=Yawn

Jo Jo is from Foxboro maybe her mom can drive her to the concert, haha! The lineup sounds pretty dreadful compared to what they used to get a few years ago.

 

[TowerBuzz]

Every year they have a few big name "artists" and a bunch of acts that have one or two songs that their audience knows that will not be remembered by next year's kiss concert. The line up formula is really nothing new. THis one does seem a little tin even by that logic but it'll still sell out. Like I said they ahev The Dutchess who as MEDICORE as she is, is selling and has not played anywhere recently. She is so much bigger than B.E P, she is a half step below Gwen Stefani in their audiences perception so that's abig booking.

 

[freqlost]

Might not be a strong line-up now,but I think Kiss likes the drama of announcing an additional big name artist or two on Matt's show.

I just don't understand. Some of you are bashing this as "weak" and all that... are you really that clueless or are you just upset because Kiss isn't bringing in Billy Joel and Sting? Here's some food for thought: There was a time when people thought acts like the Beatles, Elvis and other groups and artists who are considered classic today were crap. Ever think that maybe you bashing Dashboard Confessional is the pot calling the kettle black?

Now, get off my lawn.

Im sorry: Di......,di.........did you just attempt to equate the Beatles, Elvis, and Fergie?. I think I WILL get off your lawn. Apparently the pesticides are emitting some sort of mind altering, chemical fumes.

Fergie is another talentless hack with little talent. She's the 2007 version of Britney Spears and I will bet that she lip synchs during the KISS show.

 

[WLYNWAZNgm]

Will anybody still be listening to these "artists" 20, 30 years from now?
Time will tell. I wouldn't bet the rent check on it...

 

[weee]

Why isn't Taylor Hicks schedule to appear??!!

LOL

The concert bugs me, because unless you know someone, win tickets, or pay a ransom the only seats you can get are lawn seats.

Back all the hell down....this is exactly what the Kiss concert is supposed to be, a glimpse on all the new and up and coming music makers. Some us us "geezers" may feel cheated because of the spoils of the late 80's and early 90's when Tweeter Center was Great Woods and Aerosmith, Jon Secada, Billy Joel, NKOTB, Extreme, Expose, Boys II Men, New Edition et al were stopping by...some big artists may yet still be stopping in...(isn't a while to the concert) and with this line up....got some of the hottest up and coming Top 40 artists coming to the show....Daughtyr's hit has been top 10 for a number of weeks, JoJo is local; but has a top 10 hit within the last 3 months and another smash coming, I totally agree with the Dashboard and Jumpsuit comments about the next "alt/hit rock bands" like Fall Out Boy.Gnarls Barkley. Katherine McPhee's song is starting to jump...what do you want?

To quote a former Celtics head coach/GM-Aerosmith, The Police and Genesis won't be working through that door and if they do they will be old and tired. looks like a fun time, wish I would be stateside as I might be in for checking out the show!

 

[chitchatjf]

I wonder WHY they INSIST on sticking with Great Woods when they could eASILY sell out Foxboro?
