You can tell they definitely love touring, people have to understand that they’re in their 70s, gene Simmons is literally 74, they’re getting older and can’t keep touring to several places around the world with heavy attire and all the moving around and standing for hours, like they’re still killing it and still are amazing but they’ve been doing this for YEARS and they’re getting older. I think this is an awesome project they’re working on to keep their band alive and I do get it isn’t the same as them being there in person but you really have to understand they’re in their 70s, sure they’re still doing awesome performances at their age now but they can’t keep doing that forever. The graphics and quality of their digitized selves are amazing, and you can see their characters come to life which I think is super super cool. I just went to their end of the world tour and it was my first concert ever seeing them live and I thought it would be the last but now I can look forward to their new era! Sure it isn’t them in person but it still looks so awesome either way! I hope some people think the same😅 Also to add to the people who are talking about some of them just wanting more money, I’m not caught up on celebrity drama and if there is something I’m missing but, this whole project and how well done it is and how REAL these digitized versions of them looks and just everything getting put into it must have costed thousands to do this and it’s all for their fans so I mean 🤷‍♀️

I sure hope Gene and Paul allow the KISS phenomenon to carry on beyond their individual stage presence. The beauty of the makeup, costumes and stage show has effectively transcended the original four. If Gene and Paul really care about the fans they will let Tommy, Eric and new members carry the torch for the Army. Imagine the year is 2323 and KISS travels to Mars for some shows.

You can always catch Ace playing outside the unemployment office for change. But Kiss has built a legacy out of developing entertainment that simple minds disregard out of hand.

@@skepchica what an asinine argument. If they’re not up to it then they shouldn’t tour, and especially not tour charging more money than ever to see them. How’s that? They don’t need the money. No one is forcing them to tour. They already did their Farewell Tour in 2000/2001 anyway. They’ve also spent decades denigrating other bands who lipsynch and rip off the fans. Gene said that anyone who lipsynches needs to put it on the ticket as a disclaimer. Then they do the End of the Road cashgrab tour 2019-2023 with Paul faking his vocals every single night and somehow that’s okay? Talk about hypocrisy. They also said in every interview promoting the tour for five years that they’re “never sounding better” and “in the shape of our lives” and they’re faking the vocals. That’s okay to you as well? Once upon a time the KISS taglines “you wanted the best you got the best” and “accept no substitutes” actually meant something.
