  1. Wait a minute, that’s not Ace Frehley & Peter Criss, WTF? I thought identity theft was illegal? LOL!!!

    …I know it’s old, just having some fun! 😉

  2. Ugh…… So done with these guys. Same tired songs over and over again . But unlike the old days when they had mobility they just stand there in those ridiculous costumes. Watching kiss now is like watching the end of Kobe Bryant’s career. It’s just a reminder of how much they have lost.

  3. So this is why they cancelled the tour dates in Europe that should have been early in the summer? To do a tour through (at best) mid-sized venues (most of them around 10k and some even considerably less big)?? Boastfully advertising that they bring rock to places that have been less fortunate because of not getting to see Kiss in 10 years or ever? Does it not sound like a simple marketing excuse for saying ok we cannot draw big audiences anymore so let’s think of places where people might still be thankful to see us at all, even if the venues and thus the profit is a lot smaller? Areas where people might hopefully be not so demanding, e.g. demanding a lead singer to be capable of singing? They would haven been better adviced to wait the rest of the year to get some rest for Paul’s voice and do a worldwide (definitive) farewell tour in 2017 before the remainder of this once great voice is finally merely croaking its way through the songs.

  4. Depending on how you look at it… either a nice gesture to play for fans that normally don’t get to see them, or… by playing smaller venues in smaller markets, it’s a way to still headline without having to have a co-headliner to help sell tickets in larger markets. Great for the fans in the smaller markets, though!
