About 200 Kiss fans protested in front of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum to demand that the band be inducted into the hall. Fans, some from as far away as California, carried signs Saturday and had painted their faces in black-and-white to resemble Kiss band members. [Source]

Those participating in the half-hour demonstration were upset that the band, formed more than 30 years ago, has not been admitted, even though it has been eligible since the late 1990s.

Personally, considering the impact KISS had on the music scene when they flew into the mainstream 3 decades ago - I’m surprised that fans need protest on this one. I mean, Gene Simmons tongue, ALONE, should get some recognition, eh?

My personal favorite of the time? Ace Frehley - his pictures, in full make up, adorned the walls of teenage girls bedrooms everywhere! Do you have a KISS fav?
