Kiss and Mötley Crüe Announce "Biggest, Baddest Rock Tour" With SoFla Show

When he's not pushing Dr Pepper or exposing his Family Jewels on A&E, Gene Simmons rocks silly makeup and platform shoes as the legendary lead singer of Kiss. Similarly, when he's not dubstepping aboard Holy Ship! or steering megayachts with his penis, Tommy Lee beats the skins for arena rock gods Mötley Crüe.

Come July, these two heavy-metal heartthrobs will join their respective bands on the "summer's biggest, baddest rock tour," a coheadlining, 40-city trek across North America simply dubbed "The Tour."

And on Friday, July 27, Kiss and Crüe will rock the mom tits off West Palm Beach when they roll through Cruzan Amphitheater for an unforgettable night of commercially viable classic rock.

Kiss and Mötley Crüe haven't shared a stage since 1982. You know, 30 years ago, when arena rock was one big Quaalude, a never-ending drug-fueled orgy of backstage blowjobs and fetish-friendly sexcapades. But it's 2012, and these guys are all grown up.

Gene Simmons is 63 years old, married, and a father of two. His Kiss comrade, Paul Stanley, just turned 60 and has already had two hip replacement surgeries.

As for the Crüe, the average age in the band is a sobering 53.

But age is just a number. Both bands still sell out shows and captivate new audiences. Between them are nearly 200 million records sold and more than 30 chart-toppers. These guys are true music-business monsters.
