Devo recently got a bunch of little kids to learn Devo songs, and called the band Devo 2.0.

Kiss should do the same thing.

I guess it would be hysterical to hear a bunch of little kids doing 'Cold Gin' and 'Ladies Room'.

I like Gene Simmons' reality show as well, and I am not a reality show fan at all. Not sure if this is what they were after, but it seems like they wanted to be the antedote to the Ozzy show and all of the disfunction and drunk-with-money whining they did. Can't stand Sharon or Kelly. Really repulsive people. On the other hand Simmons' kids seem extremely well adjusted, and say what you will about Gene being the self proclaimed 'asshole' that he is, he seems like a really good Dad. He comes across as a pretty real person on that show, and that's surprising for a guy with his kind of track record. I haven't watched it faithfully, but the episodes I've seen are always pretty positive and upbeat.

As far as Kiss and merchandising, I think they have always given their fans a little more than what they pay for. Alot of those early albums they did always had some kinda 'cereal box' style prize in them, like 'Alive II' they included a booklet and removable tatoos. Anybody remember that? They've included one or two surprises like that in this new DVD, but I'm not gonna spoil it for anybody.
