Kiss And Lady Gaga

It seems like Lady Gaga and Kiss (and then especially Gene) are getting closer and closer friends. Earlier this week Gene posted these two comments on his Twitter page:

Spoke with @ladygaga about various things. Mutual admiration society

@ladygaga is the only interesting new artist out there. What did we talk about? Can't tell you.

Yesterday Lady Gaga posted this message on her Twitter:

I push harder, dance longer, bleed stronger. I don't want the greatest KISS tribute band of all time, I want the real band. I want KISS.

Earlier today Paul did this posting on the official Kiss twitter page:

@ladygaga Lady Gaga -You Wanted The Best, You Got the Best. We're out on our Hottest Show On Earth Tour. Pick your city and join us. Paul
