Speaking of KISS tribute bands
It seems that if you want a KISS tribute band then you need look no further than Taylor Swift. Weird, unlikely and my isn’t she tall.

KISS – MODERN DAY DELILAH
Back in the day I championed KISS. They were (in my view) nothing short of awesome. These days (in my view) they have become a KISS tribute band and I refer to them as the Tribute Band Formerly Known As Kiss ( or TBFKAK, – pronounced TBF cack – for short). Here sees them pulling out all of the stops and releasing a track to radio that sounds as if they raided some archive or other and all they could find was something that they would not have made one of their late 1980s efforts. The album cover is a reworking of their Rock N Roll Over sleeve (same artist apparently). In this age of reworking of old movies and zero originality I shouldn’t be surprised. I’m disappointed that a band that excited me so much as a child has become so boring.
Will I buy this? As there is no Walmart in the area probably not, I guess I’ll skip it.
Check it out for yourself if you want, you’ll hate it. The full track, Modern Day Delilah, is available to stream on Kissonline.
MODERN DAY DELILAH
August 20, 2009Okay, KISS Army… the 11-year wait is over! Here’s the first radio track from SONIC BOOM. KISS’ “Modern Day Delilah” hits radio stations everywhere today. Enjoy!
I am looking forward to the new Ace Frehley album though.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I kind of agree about KISS reaching their peak in the 80s. Vinnie Vincent was a spectacular guitarist, Bruce Kulick was good too but too much of a hired hand. Eric Carr was a thumping good drummer.
Nostalgia killed the band for me. The line up was solid and then they did the first reunion tour with Peter and Ace. They became a parody of themselves and this is a constant source of irritation for me.
Modern Day Delilah sounds like an outtake of Hot in the Shade which was a really ordinary album found in bargain bins everywhere.
