Back in the day I would recall many times venues refunding money for various reasons. With bands like KISS for example, Paul Stanley\u2019s atrocious vocal performances would seriously upset me if I paid a substantial amount for a ticket and sit through some of the things I\u2019ve seen uploaded to YouTube. It will be interesting to see if you could have a promotions person who dealt with customer complains in this area. To see if there are any that have actually requested their money back, it would be astounding if thousands would do it and the word got back to ticket suppliers and what was going on. I would pay good money to see that and his reaction.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He calls me maestro, never been called maestro before Arch, thank you. Well Arch, look, as far as what\u2019s going on, you\u2019ve singled out KISS here but as far as what\u2019s going on there it\u2019s well documented and it\u2019s all over YouTube. Constant examples and proof that Paul is singing to a track. He has a track assisting him in his live performance. All you gotta do is Google that, YouTube that and there\u2019s a million \u2013 eventually they pull these videos down because they\u2019re so incriminating but it\u2019s been proven a thousand times online. So, he\u2019s not gonna sound all that bad on this tour because he\u2019s using a track!<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know somebody in Boston, who I know very well who when he found out KISS was using a track and other bands were using fake tracks to supplement their live performance he request a refund and got it! I know a guy who spent a grand on four KISS tickets, in Boston, had never seen the band before, saw this stuff on YouTube that he wasn\u2019t gonna get a full live performance, went to Ticketmaster and said \u201cI paid for live, this not fully live, I want a refund\u201d. Twenty four hours later Ticketmaster issued the refund, that is interesting. This person sent me an E-mail about it, this is a guy who is also in the business so this is not just a fan who is just trying to stir the pot.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And as much as I hate Eddie Trunk, I gotta stand by him on this one:<\/p>\n<p><iframe width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YWrb9EjSfys?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to Alternative Nation, SiriusXM host and &#8220;metal maestro&#8221;, Eddie Trunk, recently shared a story on how a fan of KISS got a refund from Ticketmaster after he alleged that Paul Stanley was \u201cnot performing fully live.\u201d Alternative Nation transcribed Trunk\u2019s comments.
