I have a feeling that Tom will be the one to put the bow on this entire thing, he's well respected by everyone, his skills speak for themselves, and he'll be able to put into words what it is to be a fan of KISS, the highs, lows, embarassments, the times I would get made fun of in high school for having them on my binder (next to a giant Pearl Jam 'VS' cut out by the way). Tom will be able to share why he's a KISS fan or more importantly, why WE are KISS fans. So, I'm glad Tom Morello has taken the challenge to induct the band into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He'll be the voice of all of us KISS ARMY Members, then Gene and Paul can on the road to 'celebrate their 40th anniversary as KISS', Ace can keep promising 'a new solo album' and Peter……well, he can just keep being Peter knowing he's now a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and this can all be over and we can move on.
Now we can focus on the awkwardness of the Nirvana induction with Grohl, Novoselic, and Courtney all on stage together AND badger Tom Morello for new Rage Against the Machine music
