Kiss are involved in some discrepancies
By GalaTView Staff
These guys are always talking how they do everything for their fans. However, Kiss is unable to agree on which lineup should perform during the April 10 ceremony in New York City, and has decided not to plug in at all. The 40-year-old group has to face some issues with Ace Frehley and Peter Criss who despite of being part of the band, you never hear from anyone else. It is more important their money and their personal differences insted of being flexible and share good music with the newest members of the band.

Motley Crue's Final Tour Sells Out Nine Shows
By GalaTView staff
Just days after tickets for iconic rock ‘n’ roll band MOTLEY CRUE’s The Final Tour went on sale, eight shows have sold out. The band has also added a Nov. 8 date at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Mich. due to overwhelming demand. Tickets for the Joe Louis Arena show will go on sale Saturday, Feb. 15 at 10:00 a.m. local time.
The sold out shows are:
Aug. 9 – Clarkston, MI (DTE Energy Music Theatre)
Aug. 10 – Toronto, ON (Molson Canadian Amp)
Oct. 7 – Hollywood, FL (Hard Rock Live)
Oct. 25 – Atlantic City, NJ (Borgata Events Center)

Nov. 16 – Fargo, ND (FargoDome)
Nov. 18 – Edmonton, AB (Rexall Place)
Nov. 19 – Calgary, AB (Scotiabank Saddledome)
MOTLEY CRUE announced The Final Tour and the band’s ultimate retirement, solidified when the band signed a formal Cessation Of Touring Agreement, effective at the end of 2015, in front of global media in Los Angeles on Jan. 28. Celebrating the announcement of The Final Tour, the band performed on ABC’s “Jimmy Kimmel Live” later that night and appeared on “CBS This Morning” on Jan. 29.
With over 80 million albums sold, MOTLEY CRUE has sold out countless tours across the globe and spawned more than 2,500 MOTLEY CRUE branded items, sold in over 30 countries. MOTLEY CRUE has proven they know how to make a lasting impression and this tour will be no different. Fans can expect to hear the catalogue of their chart-topping hits and look forward to mind-blowing, unparalleled live production. “When it comes to putting together a new show, we always push the envelope and that’s part of Motley Crue’s legacy,” explains Nikki Sixx (bass). “As far as letting on to what we’re doing, that would be like finding out what you’re getting for Christmas before you open the presents. We think in an age of too much information, we’d like to keep some surprises close to our chest until we launch The Final Tour.”
MOTLEY CRUE tours are not only box office successes but artistically have set the bar for production and entertainment value. “There’s no arguing that Motley Crue have been and always will be the definitive bad boys of rock ‘n’ roll,” but behind all those notorious stories is a legendary rock band that has revolutionized heavy metal and created some of the biggest hits in music history. They are a hugely successful global brand and a touring powerhouse. Everyone at Live Nation has a tremendous amount of respect for these hard-working and extremely talented gentlemen. The music industry will never have another Motley Crue.”
Fans can look forward to very special guest ALICE COOPER joining MOTLEY CRUE for an incredible package; Alice invented the rock ‘n’ roll genre and MOTLEY CRUE put steroids in it! “Real hard rock bands are hard to find these days,” said Alice. “Motley has always gone on stage with one attitude and that’s to blow the audience away. That’s exactly how we do it. Putting Motley Crue and Alice Cooper together is going to be just what this summer really NEEDS. We’re going to go out there and tear it up, and I can’t wait to see Motley on stage. Motley Crue and Alice Cooper—a match made in…Armageddon?”
The band will not tour after this final tour. Band attorney Doug Mark of Mark Music & Media Law explains: “Other bands have split up over rancor or the inability of people to get along, but this is mutual among all four original members and a peaceful decision to move on to other endeavors and to confirm it with a binding agreement.” Vince Neil, Nikki Sixx, Tommy Lee and Mick Mars will go their separate ways after the lengthy two-year touring cycle. Tommy Lee (drums) explains: “Everything must come to an end!! We always had a vision of going out with a big f***king bang and not playing county fairs and clubs with one or two original band members! Our job here is done!!!” Of the band’s tumultuous history, Mick Mars (guitar) adds: “(It has been) more drama than ‘General Hospital;’ it keeps ’em watchin’ and they keep comin’ back.” Vocalist, Vince Neil says of the Finality of the tour: “I’ll miss playing with the guys, but I won’t quit playing rock ‘n’ roll!! I feel there are a lot of great opportunities and exciting projects after Motley.”
Rap stars are not the same than Wrapers
The record labels fabricate these “rap stars” and groups, and all their songs are professionally written by someone else so Usher, Mark Wahlberg, Run-D.M.C. and more slapped with Copyright Infringement Lawsuit.
Miley Cyrus finally with a new album
Miley Cyrus had a chance to grow into a classy, sophisticated artist so Bangerz is the Miley Cyrus’s fourth album due out on Oct. 8. The 13-song record (16 on the deluxe version) is packed tight with hit records. Even she represents the side of the “industry” that says you have to conform to make it the last decision is taken by you as a listener of this music. Enjoy or destroy are your only choices!
Gene Ween Retires From Rock Group Ween
Aaron Freeman also known as Gene Ween and from the rock band Ween has called it quits. “It’s time to move on,” Freeman told Rolling Stone from his home in New Jersey. “I’m retiring Gene Ween.” He has been with the band for 25 years and has decided to move on. Freeman seems to have already moved on from Ween: His solo album “Marvelous Clouds” was released earlier this month. Freeman, along with childhood friend Dean Ween (Mickey Melchiondo), started the group in the mid-1980s. Their highest charting single was “Push th’ Little Daisies” released in 1992 which gained them widespread attention and hit the charts.
Tom Morello is a Revolutionist in Chicago Rally
Tom Morello performs at a National Nurses United rally and he pumps the crowd. He performs cover songs by Bruce Springsteen and rattles the Chicago protesters. Some protesters wore Robin Hood hats and nurse scrubs to represent the Robin Hood tax that would tax financial institutions, which they mean to impose. Tom stated that the Rally was for the 99% that was left out. As he was performing, his mic turns off and Tom assumes the Chicago police turned it off and he yells “either by design or by accident,” Morello yelled “But that will not stop the show.” Tom’s mic eventually turned on and he continued to perform. Tom played songs such as “One Man Revolution” and “Union Song”. Police stated that the rally was peaceful overall.
