That would be cool to see, but on one condition: there are to be sparkly things, pyro, exploding guitars, etc. Then we'll see who "wins". Spoiler alert: it won't be KISS.

Dammit, there are to be NO sparkly things, blah blah blah.

/Me am haz brain not work good.

tnpir: In before the KISS IS TEH suXXoRS crowd.

And really, this is just another obnoxious thing coming out of Gene Simmons' mouth that we can roll our eyes to and forget, so let's not get too bent out of shape.

KISS still has the desire to play/make money, and they don't sound that bad; same with U2. The Stones were great, once upon a time, and they still rock. Kind of. But in their 70s, they play nowhere near the level they did in the 70s.

KISS Army!

Stones would win because:

A)Quality of music

B)Mick Jagger plays the crowd like no front man ever

C)Keith Richards

/Have seen stadium shows by all 3 bands

Kiss will win after Paul blows the judges.

STRYPERSWINE: KISS will win. there is no better live concert experience, except maybe Ion Maiden. if you're not really into music and are impressed by sparkly things and things that go boom.

FTFY.

Stones would win.

I like KISS, but I can't think of one band that has continuously sold out as much as they have.

AnotherBluesStringer: Stones would win.

I like KISS, but I can't think of one band that has continuously sold out as much as they have.

In order to sell out, there has to be a point in your life when you weren't a money-grubbing whore. KISS has been about licensing and making farktons of cash any way possible since day one.

I saw U2 in Atlanta and KISS in Birmingham last year. While I favor KISS's music (I like both), I would put their live performances even; a push. Both are masters at what they do.

As far as size of crowd, well I will just put it this way. In the BJCC there were a few empty seats in the nose bleeds, huge crowd but not every seat packed. U2 on the other hand packed the Georgia Dome to the rafters. It kind of put in perspective how big U2 actually is.

My only criticism of U2 is they need to add some synchronized moves like Judas Priest and KISS uses. Could you imagine how awesome "With or Without You" would be live if they started it like Judas Priest starts "Breaking The Law" in concert.


Personally for a live show my money is on Judas Priest or Iron Maiden in that order.

ZeroCorpse: KISS wins, because Starchild can shoot a laser from his eye and control people's minds, The Cat has catlike speed and agility, The Demon has super strength and breathes fire, and Space Ace (Spaceman) can shoot lasers and teleport (and turn into an African American at random times).

The members of U2 have no powers that I know of, unless "smug" is a power.

As for the Rolling Stones, all they've got is one undead, highly-toxic member and a pair of big lips.

Let us not forget that Bono has the power to kill an underprivileged third world child each time he snaps his fingers.
