    Hopefully Ace & Peter get a fair slice of the massive sale price. Considering Ace shops at WalMart he may need the cash. I wonder how this will impact the many Kiss Tribute bands, will they now be sent cease and desist orders?

    wow, even the name and IP....generally these stories revolve around just selling catalogs...but the entire brand and IP too? I'd be curious on how this goes, and if other artists do the same.

    What Gene is really saying is "no more Gene and Paul show". Residuals and royalties now go to the KISS company and the $300 million will be deposited to their estates over the next 50 years.

    I would’ve thought at least 700,000,300 seems a bit cheap divided for Waze or three not sure who the odd man might be out but hey he’s a smart businessman he’s probably worth 1 billion if I was to guess

    KISS, rock n rolls most overrated band. Haven't been that great since the 70s. The original 4 members were mediocre individually but became something that they never expected when they played together.
