Promising.

He's probably trying to get him to play like Peter Criss. Sad. They really should go get Bruce, scrape off the makeup, and pick up where Carnival of Souls left off.

I'm sure Love her All I Can and All the Way will be sandwiched inbetween the same old stuff. As much as I like the classics, KISS could easily fill an entire show with great material that never gets any play.

:up:

Never did like the damn song.

yeah. They're trying to hide it. I had a friend who saw them a few months ago and I said "Yeah, but it's not really KISS without Ace." He was convinced Ace was there ("I saw him! He had his makeup on and everything"). Took me awhile to convince him that it was Tommy Thayer dressed up to look like Ace.

They certainly fooled the average fan (not the super internet geeks like us).

I think they should just take off the make up again if they're not having Ace & Peter in the band.

Although it is my opinion that KISS has tricked the fans and played some makeup shows "without all the members", recently KISS has been up front about Thayer being in for ACE and in the past tour Singer being under makeup for Criss.

I was 9 years old and it was the greatest circus I ever saw :lol:

Paul was his usual self, running around and throwing guitar picks at the audience. I could not understand a word out of Peter Criss' mouth "Aah kaaa pappow! Rock n' roll ama ta fow!!" hehe.The man always had a voice like a chainsaw when he was screaming.

But I'm glad it was my first rock n' roll concert.

I had this dream 2 years ago where I just woke up laughing: I was seeing KISS live and Paul was REALLY overweight and tripping on his high heels, asking people in the crowd if they loved cheeseburgers (with a pic of a cheeseburger on the big screen). Then Gene went up in the sky to sing God of Thunder and accidentally got caught in the wires and was choking to death while Paul was screaming" Does anybody love CHEESEBURGERS?"

Oh man, that was a Spinal Tap dream...

As much as most of us our burned out with the endless reunion, they still are one of the few bands left that can fill stadiums. Money drives the world (At least Gene's)

I've seen some tape obviously of the early shows, but i wonder what it must have been like. I mean the audience, the crowd, how it was vastly different then when I saw them. Again...kinda like Kiss meets the Phantom like.

gene is a prick. I read his "biography" last year only cause my in laws got it for me.....

what a dick.

I thought this was pretty interesting.

InstantLive will be offering CDs of each show on the new KISS tour. From their website:

Instead of going the Metallica route and offering downloads, these will be CDs sent through the mail or picked up right at the show. Pretty cool.

I ran across this on the web...seems this is their set list:

If true, that is a KISS fan's wet dream.

I heard they are sub-ing in Tears Are Falling and Lick it Up in Japan right now.

Iv'e beem hearing from different sources that they are really mixing up the setlist from show to show (probably to sell more of the live CDs) I really wanna hear Unholy and War Machine when I see them in July

My paper today had a picture of "Kiss" with a caption that read that Gene had caused an outrage in Australia b/c of comments he made wich were considered anti-muslim. He said that his comments were taken out of context. That was all the paper had. Anyone know what it was taking about & what Gene said? Just curious.

There was thread about this in the "OTHER" section a few weeks ago. Try a search over there.


He said Islam was a Gutter Religion that treated women like shit or something like that.

agreed.

I was a huge fan of the Bruce/Eric Singer line up and am one of the few KISS fans that was actually disappointed that they were getting back with Peter and Ace.

However they tricked up the band it's still a really cool show and it would never be the same w/out Gene or Paul.
