MJ TRIBUTE CONCERT
Gene Simmons to Perform
Despite Calling MJ a Pedophile

Pretty ironic -- Gene Simmons, who called Michael Jackson a hard-core pedophile, will perform at the MJ Tribute Concert.

Katherine Jackson was on CNN this AM, talking about the concert, when promoters revealed that KISS would be performing.

Yet Gene Simmons went on record last year -- mind you, a year after MJ died -- saying, "There is no question in my mind he molested those kids.  Not a doubt."

Simmons went on to say, "The only sexual references ever made about Michael Jackson that were made by anyone, anywhere around the world, have always been made by kids, and specifically males usually 10 to 14 years of age; never females, that age or older, and never grown men."

Hate the man.  Love the music.

The only reason sexual references were only made by little boys was because that's how the media wanted him to be perceived. Is he forgetting all of the stories that Michael's CLOSE friends have told about him and girls????? Why are people so ignorant  ::)

I have a hard time believing that they would want him to perform either. But maybe its to show that people are changing their mind about Michael??

 >:( why does the family entertain those who have hurt MJ? and slandered him? not supported MJ in his time of need? Joy Beyhar, Oprah, Gene Simmons, Ramone Bain...etc. i don't understand..does the family have selective memory

Naaaah.... That's not possible. That's not possible! Gene Simmons??!
IF this will happen for real, then the Jacksons would show no drop of respect. IF it happens. I really hope it won't happen, because otherwise calling up for an asshole to perform at a concert to honour Michael shows they do it for what? For money? I don't even see the purpose. They would show no respect to him, no matter how I take it. To be his mother/brother/sister and call up someone who called him pedophile and child molester to "HONOUR" your son/brother. That's beyond comprehension, and it makes people lose all respect for the Jacksons if they would go through with it. Like they care not about anything but money, anything, but not about Michael and his pride.
 
Even if they paid me in gold, I wouldn't ask someone who humiliate, bashed and told such garbage about my brother,  to perform at a concert to "honour" him, no way. Either this won't happen or if it does...I think that IF it happens and if Simmons performs, the idiots would be the people who buy the tickets. As long as you allow garbage, you will be fed garbage. If you don't want to be taken as idiot, don't act like one. There, I said it. I swear I can't believe it. Who's next? Nikki Sux from Motley Crap? He was spitting the same shit last month too.

I don't think katherine would promote or put her name to anything that would insult michael so much. When I have children, and if someone spewed that shit about them, I would go to hell and back before I would associate with that person.

That being said, there's something about this tribute that I can't put my finger on. We've had tributes before and its never really been a huge surprise when they didn't follow through, but this seems to be different. There's more media coverage, more hype, more promotion. There's well known singers attaching their name to it. I think this tribute is significant. If it doesn't end the hoax, its going to propel it to a level we haven't seen, in my opinion of course.

I don’t believe Katherine knows what she’s doing.  Sorry guys.  Someone should pull her coat to Michael’s haters.  She obviously doesn’t have a clue.  This if true is quite embarrassing as much as it is insulting to Michael’s honor. :-X

There is no way this could happen!  This man is an insult to Michael, another example of someone (Gene Simmons) listening to trash reported about  Michael and flapping his fat mouth without looking at the truth.  I say this has to be part of the plan as I can not even imagine he would have the nerve to perform or for the Jackson's to even ask him!!  As the stomach turns!  It's a part of the plan!  Take care, Love to All  ;))

You know what, I take my comment back.  Maybe this is being put out there on purpose.  Surely the Jackson siblings are aware of Gene’s remarks.  Maybe this is a ploy go get people back together, back on track with garnering support for Michael w/out fan division.  EVERYBODY is on the same page regarding Gene Simmons, all differences put aside to fight for right.  That’s exactly the frame of mind we need to be in when this trial proceeds.  Could be brilliant.  I don’t believe he will be a part of the tribute, but the idea that Michael’s mother thinks it’s a good thing has the community buzzing and Michael back in the spotlight where he belongs, and so too, the trial.

 respect/ Whichever way we feel about  this announcement let's show RESPECT to Mrs Katherine and the Jackson Family. We know that Michael is behind all of this! The KING of CONTROVERSY!

Gene Simmons is a friend of Donald Trump who is a friend of Michael - Remember the controversial Gene Simmons exit on the Apprentice!

And in all logic why would Gene Simmons accept to participate in a tribute concert for a man he called a pedophile? This makes NO SENSE!!!

CNN is still displaying the article "KISS joins Michael Jackson tribute line-up" and has now added some comments on the Fans reactions to the announcement.

Los Angeles (CNN) -- The legendary rock band KISS signed up to pay tribute to Michael Jackson in an October concert that will also headline Christina Aguilera, Leona Lewis, Smokey Robinson, Cee Lo Green and JLS, the promoters told CNN Monday.
Musicians who played in Jackson's touring band for the past two decades will also reunite as the house band for "Michael Forever: The Tribute Concert" in Cardiff, Wales, according to promoter Global Live Events.
Kevin Dorsey, who served as musical director for several Michael Jackson tours, will also direct the October 8 show, it was announced Monday.
Katherine Jackson, matriarch of the musical family, appeared on CNN Monday to discuss the show, which will also include performances by her children and grandchildren.
"I know he would be very excited about KISS," Michael Jackson's mother said.
But fan reaction posted on the concert's Facebook page was negative to news that KISS would perform.
"This is a complete disgrace," wrote one fan. "You can kiss your audience goodbye folks. I doubt whether any self-respecting fan will pay a penny to see that man after the comments he made about Michael. I'm shocked this act was even considered."
Many of the negative comments referred to a story published by the Canadian Press a week after Jackson's death on June 25, 2009, quoting KISS leader Gene Simmons concerning sexual molestation allegations against the pop star.
The promoter appeared unaware of the controversy Monday when CNN asked for a reaction.
It appeared unlikely the tribute stage would be the scene for a reunion for the surviving members of the Jackson 5. Two of the brothers, Jermaine and Randy, have publicly objected to the show being held at the same time Michael Jackson's doctor is on trial for his death.
"We want to make clear that this does not reflect the position of the entire family," the two brothers said in a joint statement after their mother and four siblings endorsed the show.
"While we wholeheartedly support the spirit of a tribute that honors our brother, we find it impossible to support an event that is due to take place during the criminal trial surrounding Michael's death," Jermaine and Randy Jackson said.
Dr. Conrad Murray's involuntary manslaughter trial begins in September and is expected to continue through October.
"The trial is very important and I can understand how Randy and Jermaine feel, but it's been two years," Katherine Jackson told CNN Monday. "I thought it was a good idea; I'd like to keep Michael's legacy alive."
Katherine Jackson plans to attend the trial, although she will miss some days to fly to Wales to attend the show with Michael Jackson's children, she said.
"It will be on a Saturday when the courtroom is dark," Paul Ring, a Global Live Events executive said.
Members of the Jackson family taking the stage October 8 include several of Michael Jackson's brothers, "the next generation of Jacksons," and 3T, which consists of Tito Jackson's three sons, the promoters said.
Alternative rock band Alien Ant Farm and British R&B singer Craig David are also on the bill.
"This concert will unite various generations and musical genres, reminding everyone of just how amazing a talent Michael was," Ring said.
Fans can "register their interest for tickets" online at www.michaelforevertribute.com (http://www.michaelforevertribute.com/).
The concert in the Wales Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, which seats 75,000 people, would be at least four hours long, Global Live Events CEO Chris Hunt said.
A spokesman for Michael Jackson's estate said last month that the promoters never sought or obtained permission from the estate's executors to use the late pop singer's name or image.
"The estate has not been contacted and is not involved with Global Live Events in the UK tribute concert announced today," spokesman Jim Bates told CNN at the time.

You know, that crossed my mind too. A lot of controversy, there must be a reason behind all this. We should trust their decisions, especially concerning Katherine Jackson and we shouldn't be lame sheep influenced by the media trash we have to think for ourselves. It's not easy though, what's gossip, what's not! Which sources are reliable? pale/ :roll:

Once again - controversy - courtesy of Michael.  He knows what some people think of him and we all know how wrong those people are.  But some people will think it nonetheless until they figure it out for themselves.  Maybe Gene was bombarded with actual facts from Michael's fans after his statements last year and has changed his mind and realizes he was wrong.  If that is not the case, then Michael must have a reason for this because whether this tribute happens or not, it's Michael's doing.

IF this tribute happens and IF KISS performs, then Gene Simmons WILL issue a formal public apology before or at the tribute, it's the only way it'll happen.

MJJCommunity Official Statement about Michael Forever Tribute
Monday, 15 August 2011 23:28

 http://www.mjjcommunity.com/michael-jackson-news/mjjcommunity-official-statement-about-michael-forever-tribute (http://www.mjjcommunity.com/michael-jackson-news/mjjcommunity-official-statement-about-michael-forever-tribute)

For the last few weeks MJJCommunity maintained a neutral position towards Michael Forever Tribute due to our love and respect for Katherine Jackson. August 15th developments and the announcement of Kiss as an act in Michael Forever Tribute left us no choice but the voice our concerns.

As many of the fans had already made it clear, the timing of the concert during the middle involuntary manslaughter trial of Michael Jackson and the steep and questionable pricing / charity donation was also one of our major concerns as MJJC. Although we are happy to see any artists do a tribute to Michael, we weren’t quite satisfied with the caliber of the artists announced. However nothing was more troublesome than the involvement of Gene Simmons (Kiss) who in multiple statements mentioned that he believed Michael Jackson to be guilty of molesting kids.

There’s no justification to the involvement Gene Simmons, who said “ There’s no question in my mind he molested those kids. Not a doubt.” (Classic Rock Magazine Interview) and “Michael's children...none of whom are biologically his” (Gene Simmons Facebook) and alleged that Michael took underage boys to Brazil (Dean Blundell Show), in a tribute that’s supposed to honor Michael and where his kids will be present. Furthermore just the announcement of his participation once again brought all these negative statements to the main focus of the media. Global Live Events are guilty of not doing their homework and once again helping to drag Michael’s name through the mud. This is not something we need especially not right before the trial of Conrad Murray.

We want to make it known that we as MJJC do not support Michael Forever Tribute for the above mentioned reasons. We urge the fans not to attend and make a statement to the organizers to show that we aren’t happy about the conditions of this tribute and how the memory of Michael is treated.

Sincerely

MJJCommunity.com

You know, maybe that's the purpose. Maybe they want fans to step back and not buy the tickets because of this. Until now, no one even has tickets, and the 'text to win' is not open yet, so instead of the estate playing the bad guy here, they might come up with the excuse that the event will not take place because the fans won't buy tickets.

Anyway, I still stand by my initial thought: this tribute is not going to happen.

CNN is still displaying the article "KISS joins Michael Jackson tribute line-up" and has now added some comments on the Fans reactions to the announcement.
http://edition.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/celebrity.news.gossip/08/15/jackson.tribute.kiss/ (http://edition.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/celebrity.news.gossip/08/15/jackson.tribute.kiss/)



A quote from the article. It's probably from the video
 
"I know he would be very excited about KISS," Michael Jackson's mother said.

Very excited about KISS? I would "love" to have an asshole who called me pedophile and shit to "honour" me at a tribute concert.
 
It looks like the family doesn't know anything about who is friend or foe to Michael. Not even his own mother. I say it LOOKS like. I really hope it's just a mask.


Just to remind it:

"But as time moved on, and no matter what my fond memories and fond images of Michael were, with one allegation of paedophilia after another and another and another…Oh dear."

Simmons goes on to say that he knew some of the musicians Jackson toured with, and cites one who quit after seeing "boys coming out of the hotel rooms...Well, you know, where there's smoke there's fire. There's no question in my mind he molested those kids. Not a doubt."

Simmons, who claims to have bedded down over 4600 women during his career, also says, "There's never been a single female of any age that I've ever known about who has ever made a claim that she has had a physical relationship with Michael, ever."

A quote from the article. It's probably from the video
 
"I know he would be very excited about KISS," Michael Jackson's mother said.

Very excited about KISS? I would "love" to have an asshole who called me pedophile and shit to "honour" me at a tribute concert.
 
It looks like the family doesn't know anything about who is friend or foe to Michael. Not even his own mother. I say it LOOKS like. I really hope it's just a mask.


Just to remind it:

"But as time moved on, and no matter what my fond memories and fond images of Michael were, with one allegation of paedophilia after another and another and another…Oh dear."

Simmons goes on to say that he knew some of the musicians Jackson toured with, and cites one who quit after seeing "boys coming out of the hotel rooms...Well, you know, where there's smoke there's fire. There's no question in my mind he molested those kids. Not a doubt."

Simmons, who claims to have bedded down over 4600 women during his career, also says, "There's never been a single female of any age that I've ever known about who has ever made a claim that she has had a physical relationship with Michael, ever."

Maybe KISS is being forced to perform.  This can't be an accident or because the family doesn't know better.  As we all know, Michael is a perfectionist and his plan is not always obvious from the outset.  Perhaps he plans on humiliating the guy in some way, or making him admit his 'mistake.' 

I say we wait and see how the play evolves before we make any conclusions on how it might end.

MJ said he loved to tell stories that really captivate the listeners. Like someone else mentioned maybe Bashir will be getting involved next, or Diane Dimond--could it get any crazier? I'm sure it will--could be it will get to be an absolute madhouse in the fall with the trial and tribute. I can hardly wait!

Simmons, who claims to have bedded down over 4600 women during his career, also says, "There's never been a single female of any age that I've ever known about who has ever made a claim that she has had a physical relationship with Michael, ever."


I could name 10 that have either claimed, actually had, or possibly had a physical relationship with Michael -_______-


And by 'bedded down' does he mean slept with ? 4600.. I wonder how many STDs that guy has... ewh.  :shock:

Yes it's clear to me too, Grace. Michael is the puppeteer, playing them all by pulling the strings from behind the curtain. He is punking his fan base hard core. I think it's because he finds them to be a bunch of hypocrites; say they are listening to Michael's message of love and heal the world but in the meantime throw rocks and spew venom at his family.

You see... back warned them on 11/5/09 to clean up their act and lay off his family, especially Ms. Katherine. Now he puts Ms. Katherine front and center on this Tribute, right in the firing line, just like with Opis None. Now they hang themselves. He is teaching them a lesson.

Things are not always as they seem. Doubt with Love<---- if they did they would find themselves Believers. Instead, the vast majority of his fan base doubt with hate and rage.

I'm sure this will also be given it's own thread but today on TMZ is a statement by the Estate. Pretty interesting what they say about Gene Simmons.

Also - last night on youtube I saw a video where someone is trying to boycott or ban Kiss from performing in October. Personally, I don't think he has anything to do with the hoax and so I can only assume that he's using Michael's fame for his own publicity.

On the hoax side - I cannot imagine Katherine or any of the Jacksons allowing that man to perform after what he said unless it was to prove him wrong somehow.

Michael Jackson Estate Something Stinks Over the MJ Tribute Concert  (http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/08/16/0816-michael-jackson-bn-doc.jpg) (http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_documents/0816_jackson.pdf)

The honchos in charge of the Michael Jackson Estate are threatening the people behind the Michael Jackson Tribute concert, claiming the promoters have sullied Michael's name and are possibly even ripping off the Estate.

Howard Weitzman, lawyer for the Estate, fired off a letter to promoters of the concert -- set for October 8 in Wales -- expressing displeasure that one of the bands that will be performing is KISS, whose guitarist, Gene Simmons, publicly accused MJ of being a hard-core child molester.  Weitzman wrote in his letter, "It was extraordinarily embarrassing when no sooner than you announced this 'news' that he would participate in your concert that TMZ posted an item noting that Mr. Simmons called Michael Jackson -- the man you are purportedly honoring -- a child molester..."

Weitzman also questions where all the proceeds for the concert will be going.  We're told Joe Jackson and Leonard Rowe are behind the concert, and they've always been quick to cash in on MJ's name.

And Weitzman suggests promoters may be running afoul of the law by using "intellectual property that is controlled by the Estate" -- which includes MJ images and his songs.

Hope everyone who wants to join in the fun has applied for their tickets!  Just a reminder that registration ends tonight, 16th, at midnight, that's in six hours time for those not in UK timezone!  Interesting to see what happens next - extension on registration time maybe?  It's too soon to cancel it altogether and I'm sure they don't want to get into the hassle of issuing refunds! Cynical? Me? Surely not!

From the concert website:
HOW DO I GET A TICKET?   WHAT IS THE REGISTRATION PERIOD? When the Registration Period starts you will be able to register your interest on the website.  You will enter your contact details, choose your ticket price level and enter a charity pledge.  The Registration Period will last until 24:00 on 16th August 2011 to give everyone an opportunity to register.
There is no obligation to make any Charitable Donation and for the lower price ranges tickets will be allocated by simple ballot at the end of the registration period. We want everybody to be able to afford to come – even the lowest bidders have an equal chance of purchasing a ticket.
At the end of the registration period we will also analyse the pledge amounts and allocate tickets to the more expensive seats to those making the highest pledge.
 HOW DO I GET A TICKET?   HOW DO I PURCHASE THEM? If you are successful you will be sent an email inviting you to complete the purchase of your reserved tickets. Your charity pledge will be taken at the same time.

If Michael is pulling the strings, this could be his way of looking out for his fans who are disabled.

If registration ends on the 16th, perhaps Global Live Events will take a week to figure out who they will offer the tickets to, and they won't notify anyone until after 9:30 a.m. on the 23rd if they have won the chance to buy a ticket or not.  Which would mean there would be plenty of tickets still left for those who didn't register, i.e. the disabled. 

This would give the disabled the same chance to get a ticket as everyone else, without them having to go through all the drama that everyone else has to go through.  Michael could be protecting his disabled fans from unnecessary hardship.

The concert might be canceled by the 23rd.   ;)

Interesting. When he comes back, KISS will be there. Inviting KISS might be a reference to this parody. I still don't believe he will be back at that tribute, if it ever takes place (and I DO hope I am wrong about that), but let's assume that that is the plan. All Katherine did was call KISS, because they said you should call them when he comes back. Would be hilarious. I can already see Mrs. Jackson explaining "Why are you fans so mad? KISS said we should call them if Michael comes back, and that's all I did. Never said I liked them..."

Michael will have the last laugh I believe, when all's said and done.

I think mentioning KISS is a hint.
I cannot sort it out for the time being but there's something to that.

Gene Simmons shares one experience with Michael: having had his hair set on fire.
It was an accident on New Year's Eve 1973 (and it was said to have happened several times later again in their show).

Here's the vid where he explains the accident.

Here's KISS doing "Macarena" - letting out a little bit more their human "being fun" side:

Gene had a shelved album with Epic records and the band "Wicked Lester".
He was born as Chaim Weitz in Haifa, Israel. His mother Flóra Klein was born in Hungary. The name "Klein" (= small) translates into "Kiss" in Hungarian. Chaim Weitz choose the name Eugene (Gene) Klein when immigrating into the U.S. He choose his stage name "Gene Simmons" as a tribute to Jumpin' Gene Simmons, a rockabilly legend who performed as opening act for Elvis.

Gene's working since several years as executing producer for his own reality show "Gene Simmons: Family Jewels"

and he was guest star in a TV series "Castle", episode 22: "To love and to die in L.A.".

Some quotes:

I think it's a breath of fresh air to have story within story

Look, tension exists when both are cat and mouse... you have to have the hunter and the hunted. If you don't have the back and forth, then it's a dead issue.

That's a citation of his facebook statement on Michael's passing.

We might be assuming too much without knowing the inside of the coin.
