Paul Stanley blames Jann Wenner for Hall snub

 

Paul Stanley made it pretty clear that he thinks Rolling Stone publisher Jann Wenner is largely responsible for his band not having been inducted by the Rock Hall of Fame.  Speaking to the Huffington Post, the lead singer of the group that considers itself the 'hottest band in the world' said the prospect for KISS getting admitted to the Cleveland Rock shrine probably comes down to '...who lives longer, us or Jann Wenner.'  If Wenner is partly to blame, he is not alone. Music critic Dave Marsh, who also has a good deal of influence in the nomination process of the Hall, once proclaimed to MTV, 'KISS is not a great band, KISS was never a great band, KISS never will be a great band, and I have done my share to keep them off the ballot.'
