We were going to go overseas and tour, and I think wisely decided not to do it at this time.

No those aren't my words, we DID go overseas to Ireland at the weekend, and did a bit of a tour that I will write up later... Those are from Gene Simmons on www.kissonline.com, so no KISS tour coming this way yet....
