Who remembers KISS riding in Endymion and they backed out because of the rain? NOPD was on strike and the parade ran on Vets where Office Depot is around LAF Park? I was pissed as a kid

In that case, I'm guessing nobody remembers them riding in Endymion.

I remember, but do not care. Also,I don’t think anyone should ever see Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley wet. Not a good image.

Imagine going to see KISS, but the opening band blew out the equipment and they had to cancel, causing a riot.

Would me telling you the opener was Styx make you believe?

One of my brothers went and came home with a premium KISS collectible - a super cheap transistor radio with a KISS “wrap” applied to it. Lasted about a week.

Loved Kiss as a kid but as an adult the music doesn’t hold up. They were marketing geniuses.

Though it did rain that day, they backed out because of the police strike and Endymion riding in Kenner...
I was a freshman at Rummel, and in the marching band. We were in front of the float that Kiss was supposed to ride on. I had a Disco Sucks shirt on under my band uniform...

Match made in heaven, Endymion is the KISS of parades.


Has there ever been a more overrated band than KISS? Overproduction and trashy

A guy I know is a big Mardi Gras guy, he has a friend that owns a prominent restaurant in New Orleans. Gene Simmons was eating at the restaurant. He gave Gene Simmons some Kiss doubloons that were made for the Kiss members to throw off their float. Simmons did not know about the doubloons, he has a huge collection of Kiss memorabilia. He was very appreciative to get the doubloons.

I know, CSB.
