No one's forcing anyone to buy this. That's the cool thing about freedom!
Yeah, I'd rather have a new album too. Or a DVD that hasn't been released before. Everyone basically has the "rerecordings" if they have any of the professionally recorded live concerts they did in 2004.

The Stones did do a tour for that 40 Licks collection, but you are correct in that they normally tour for new albums. And, frankly, I'd say both Bridges To Babylon and A Bigger Bang were better albums than anything Kiss has done since Revenge.

I can see rerecording some of the older songs to give them a crunchier, more metal feel. Paul would always say on stage that they were playing I Was Made for Loving You "the way it was supposed to sound" as opposed to the poppy version on Dynasty.
If they deconstruct them a bit, it might be a fun listen. If they're just rerecording them so they don't have to pay residual royalties to Ace and Peter, then fuck them with a broken bottle.

And that isn't saying much itself.

I would say that those Stones albums are arguably better than Psycho Circus, but definitely not Carnival of Souls. Carnival was a great album, and a perfect mid 90's follow up to Revenge.

I'm just the opposite. I thought Bridges was mostly crap. And I thought A Bigger Bang is somewhere in between.
I will agree with you on The Worst. It may be my favorite Keith Stones song. I also think Out Of Tears, Sweethearts Together, YOu Got Me Rocking, Mean Disposition, and Blinded By Rainbows are all really great songs.

Terribly lame. At least they didn't include "Shock Me" or "2000 Man". I wish they would have at least recorded one new song for inclusion here. C'mon guys, would it have really been that hard to give fans some incentive to want this?

I am going to say the same thing I said when Ozzy re-recorded his stuff....
You are screwing your fans, screwing your legacy, and losing any integrity you once had.

Calm down fuzzy britches. I've been a KISS Fan since the 70's. So I've poured my fair share of coin into Paul and Gene's bank account over the years. I'm just saying that these halfassed money grabs by KISS are tiresome; and one of main reasons I stopped spending money on them. How many times should I dip KISS music? I mean shit guys, get serious, write GOOD NEW material, and release it.

Ok, fancy pants. But it's not up to YOU to decide. You get one vote. With your pocketbook. You chose not to buy. If you don't want to buy it, fine. But it's not up to YOU to dictate what they put out and how much they put out. It's up to them.
I don't like vegetables, but I'm not telling the farmers "Enough! Stop growing them!" It's not my right to dictate what the farmers grow. They will grow stuff and people will buy and eat it (and line the farmer's pocketbooks with $$$). Same goes with music.
Many bands have chosen to re-record their classic works: Cheap Trick, Exodus, Saxon, Tankard, Destruction, Sodom, and more. Where's all the hatred for them?
