As alot of you probably dont know, australia is about to have the F1 Grand Prix (in same city I live in). As a side act, Kiss (Metal band.. I assume you all know them some why or another..) will be preforming.

I heard on the radio thismorning that they are being paid US$1.1 million dollars + expences to come and play there... And that is TAX PAYER MONEY!!

Its kinda expensive, considering they were already in Aus doing a tour...


Does anyone else think this is an outrage?

That's a bunch of bulls***. There's no excuse for taxpayers' money being used for some stupid concert, especially by Kiss (yeah, 2 angry faces!)

Tax payer money = Dumb
1.1 million US$S whilst on an aus tour = Dumb
Kiss = AWESOME

But still that's an outrageous price that shouldn't be payed with tax money... Kiss is still an awesome band though.

The dumbness outweighs the awesomeness, so I think it's pretty idiotic to waste that much money... I mean, a serious W T F to them for pulling that one off.

Well the cost could be worth it if it were a modern band. Kiss isn't really that popular anymore.

True, but I wouldn't want to work hard, pay taxes for WORKING and have the money go to a rich-as-hell band anyway.

Exactly. The way they tax everyone is really like a bad disease or something, just sucking the money out of us like we have enough to live with to begin with.

I listen to nerdcore/rap/hip-hop but still, I would have LOVED to goto the kiss concert.

My girlfriend says we paid for it, we should be able to see it for free.

Hey, that's the legal thing. You basically paid for the concert so you might as well be able to walk in without paying there, because you paid the tax for this rich band to waltz in.
