Black Sabbath Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 KISS put on a great show. Hoping to hit one or two of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 3 times with this lineup is plenty for me. I'll probably sit this out. They were fun shows, especially the 2009 Cobo Hall show I saw. Very dissapointed they didnt bring at least Ace back for this tour. Considering hes been getting along so well with Gene, I'll chalk this up to Paul. He refused to play at the HoF, too. A shame they'll go out with a whimper than with a bang. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselDaisy Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Well Crue have reneged on their promise. How long will Kiss hold out? Sticking ''farewell'' or something similar on a poster seems to sell 10 more tickets. ''Gene economics''. They'll be back. Gene and Paul will cobble together some rhetoric when they re-re-unite about, ''given the Kiss army what they want''. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's for real this time, only because Paul can't fucking sing anymore and everyone knows it. It'll be a long tour though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Yeah I feel like this time around Paul has finally accepted that he really can’t do it anymore. They should really bring back Ace though and do it proper. Take Vinnie and Bruce along too as guests for their songs, or even have Bruce and Bob’s little band with Brent Fitz and Todd Kerns open the shows. Make it special instead of the same show they’ve been touring for a decade with an increasingly shitty set list that cuts half the Paul songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how Ace and Gene are getting along and how KISS Co. LTD tm. invited him to play on thr KISS Kruise, it is a complete let down he isnt rightfully back in his spot. Its one last tour, nobody wants to see Tommy as the spaceman. It makes this a complete wet fart. Hes gotten to ride Ace's coat tails plenty. Eric Singer I don't mind as much because Peter probably couldnt and wouldn't do it. 40 minutes ago, DieselDaisy said: Stanley still sings better than Rose these days. Meh he is pretty awful.

Silent Jay Posted November 1, 2018 Author Share Posted November 1, 2018 Quote Frehley, whose solo band is one of the artists performing on the cruise, took the stage during KISS's acoustic show on Wednesday and played four songs with the current KISS lineup: "2000 Man" (THE ROLLING STONES cover, which Ace sang on KISS's 1979 album "Dynasty"), "New York Groove" (HELLO cover, which appeared on Ace's 1978 debut solo album), "Nothing' To Lose" and "Rock And Roll All Nite". Kulick, who is also one of the cruise's scheduled performers, joined in on acoustic guitar. "Life is full of coincidences," Stanley joked before Frehley's appearance. "Here we are, on a ship... Bruce Kulick just happens to be on this ship. And someone just said, 'You know who else is on this ship?' Ace Frehley! So, let's bring him up too." Right before kicking into "Nothin' To Lose", Ace got emotional, telling the crowd and his formed bandmates: "This is great... this is so great. Thank you guys for inviting me up." Stanley then added: "Ace, hold on a second. All this couldn't have happened if we hadn't happened. We started this. So thank you for being here." Earlier in the evening, Kulick reunited with KISS for performances of the "Revenge" track "Domino" — which KISS hadn't played live since 1995 — and "Hide Your Heart".

DieselDaisy Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 I'm going to make a punt and say this (Kulick/Frehley) might be carried over into the tour. The Stones did this with Mick Taylor, and I suppose Guns and Adler (before they shafted him). How would it work? Two spacemen, or Ace merely in his civies!

James Bond Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Considering Paul barely hits a note on his guitar half the time they could just tour with three guitars. Then Ace can be the real Spaceman, Tommy can play additionally (so they don’t have to sack him), and Bruce can guest on his songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually admire your honest cynicism about the current state of GNR, but here I'll have to respectfully disagree with you. Kiss have tuned their songs down two entire keys and Paul STILL can't stay in key when he sings. Axl may admittedly sound like Mickey Mouse now, but at least he sounds like Mickey Mouse IN KEY with the songs. Plus, GN'R haven't had to tune down at all.

To be fair, Crue are insisting that they're still not going to play live ever again. Just record. But we'll see how long that lasts. side note; I think it's GREAT that ace finally played live with kiss again the other night. That would technically be his first show with kiss since 2002, right?

ZoSoRose Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) Lol Tommy played the Rock and Roll All Nite solo with Ace on stage. Fucking lame I know the Stones pulled some questionable decisions regarding Mick Taylor's involvement on their 50th anniversary, but Ace was a founding member of KISS and they literally have a guy on stage pretending to be him. Its not like the Stones who genuinely moved on from Taylor. I say this as a huge Nick Taylor fan. Besides, Ronnie earned his keep Nobody cares about Tommy. I dont dislike him or blame him, he does a great job at what he has been hired to do, but with Ace back on good terms and with this being the last tour, he should have stepped down. Edit- Also, Ace totally sucks now and has for a long time. Id still rather see him suck with KISS and for them all to suck together than see them go out with a fake Spaceman Edited November 2, 2018 by ZoSoRose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 It’s pretty sad when the time has come where Gene is the best singer in KISS and carries the show. Might as well just let Eric sing the whole set list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His mom used to have a dress store in Brooklyn where I grew up. Then Eric bought her a home on Long Island and she closed the store and moved. My mom bought a dress to wear to my uncle's wedding from her. She was very nice but never talked about Eric being her son and being in Kiss.

Death is really just another lifestyle choice. Death is a process and Kiss accessorize death by celebrating your favorite band, Kiss. I’d buy a GNR oxygen tent in a heartbeat.
