It's funny the "shocker" hand was not even around 17 years ago. So, it couldn't have been intentional. The gesture only came around to the Internet around 10 years ago.

I've seen people quote that 10 years number. Urban Dictionary has an entry dating back to 2002. The gesture has been around for at least 17 years, yes

Maybe my math is wrong, but 2016 - 2002 = 14 years not 17. My point still is valid.

I'm going to show my age but ... that gesture has been around well before Urban Dictionary ever existed. (And maybe the internet too.)

Yeah, they're on my short list of contemporary bands that are both big enough and young enough (comparatively speaking) that could be slotted in and it would work. Green Day, too.
Urban dictionary was to debunk the 10 years idea, this quote below shows that not only has it been around longer than 10 years, but also longer than 17 years

They can but David Groghl would vote for Kiss - he is a big fan. Seems like a no-brainer for WDW because of the merchandising. They are way past their prime but kids are still fascinated with KISS when they first see them.

And you know KISS would do it, as they're all about selling out. They have their own line of caskets for crying out loud. There's nothing they won't slap their logo on for a buck.

Very true - and they are actually proud of it. But still they have plenty of good riffs to make the soundtrack work (a 2 minute ride is not Pink Floyd time) and their show would give the imagineers a ton to work with.

I think Pink Floyd would be a little controversial since they are tied closely with the drug culture. When I saw them at Soldier's Field, I can say I was not sober, and it was a great show!

Yea, they wouldn't be any where near as crystal clean as Aerosmith.I think Pink Floyd would be a little controversial since they are tied closely with the drug culture. When I saw them at Soldier's Field, I can say I was not sober, and it was a great show!

A guy friend in college had that gesture on a shirt and that was around '91 so yeah, it's been around for quite awhile.

If KISS did somehow manage to move into RnRC, instead of a pre-show, they should just show the video of their interview with Tom Snyder.

I am not suggesting this. They was in reference to a poster stating that there were no true rock band anymore.To replace Aerosmith in an attraction???
I'll pretend I didn't hear that.

I'm open to a change, but is it really necessary when Aerosmith was originally chosen (I believe, sans the Armagedden connection) because they were a local Orlando band? You could easily argue that, like Kiss, their popularity hasn't really waned. And give it a decade, maybe two and a few caskets later, they're most likely going to see a brand surge.

Funny - Ace was hammered, Gene was ed

And even he couldn't help but laugh at that bit at the end. But yeah, Ace pretty much always outshined the rest of the band. When they came out with FOUR solo albums, Ace was the only one that had a hit.
