EDITOR'S NOTE: GRAPHIC LANGUAGE IN MOTLEY CRUE PERFORMANCE FOOTAGE
Hard rock vanguards "KISS" and the bad boys of "Motley Crue" announced on Tuesday (March 20) plans for a summer tour that will take them to 40 plus cities in 2012.
With combined album sales of almost 200 million, KISS and Motley Crue are a solid bet that tickets to "The Tour" will be hard to come by. More than four decades into their careers, the bands remain dominant powerhouses of rock music.
SOUNDBITE: KISS bassist Gene Simmons saying (English):
"What you are going to hear on stage is live music. All the music is real, all the bombs are real, the guys you see playing instruments on stage are playing their instruments. No karaoke players allowed, no fake bullshit. Leave that to Rihanna, Shemana and anyone else who name ends in A. This is real stuff."
This is the first time "KISS" and "Motley Crue" will share a stage since 1982.
The summer tour will visit at least 40 plus cities nationwide starting July 20th, with tickets going on sale on March 23.
