Nikki Sixx and Mötley Crüe announced their summer tour with KISS yesterday. Their press conference at the famous Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel saw both bands complimenting one another for their ability to give fans their money’s worth. "Growing up, I had a KISS poster, Aerosmith poster and Sweet on the wall, and for me to go out and do this together, it's an honor," said Sixx. "I know what KISS is about — I've been watching them for years — and I think it's a perfect, perfect match. Maybe a match made in hell, in some places in America they may think, but it's a perfect match."
"Nikki and I have been in touch with each other and just going, 'This is awesome,'" said KISS' Paul Stanley, "This is something we're all really fired up about. It's double what either one of us could do, so exponentially it's that much bigger. We never forgot what it was like to be in the audience and disappointed in a show and that will not happen here. Expect the unbelievable.”
