their 20th album, to be entitled Monster &ndash; are playing in the city as part of a promotional tour.<\/p>\n<p>Gene Simmons, one of the founding members of the group, said they made the decision because of the &quot;brave men and women in uniform here, in the US and in the free world&quot; that put their lives on the line in the name of freedom.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;All they're trying to do is to come back into society after they've risked their lives,&quot; the bassist remarked.<\/p>\n<p>He added the least they can do is show the armed forces members the appreciation and respect they deserve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Since the band was formed in 1973, it has sold over 100 million albums and is best known for tracks such as Crazy Crazy Nights and Love Gun.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Mark Wilkins<img
