Long as there is a buck to be made, long as people are showing up, long as they can still do it, fuck it.
Attendance isn't compulsory.

Yup. Not North Korea or at least not yet. You WILL go to the KISS show or there will be grave circumstances in store for you!

The thing is you always want to quit when you are still considered good. You don’t want to stay and turn KISS into PISS.
Which they might be a bit late for, mostly due to Stanley's declining voice.
I mean, honestly, the show I saw last year...yeah, ideally Criss and Frehley I would have liked to have seen onstage. The reality is that Criss can't physically get through a full set and Frehley isn't in great physical shape, either. Thayer and Singer performed ably.
Stanley's voice was pretty shot.
I dunno if their market value is declining, but the venue they were playing in, the price for tickets is usually double what KISS were charging. The concert was fairly well-attended, but far from packed to the rafters.
Kiss to Release Rare 1984 Mark St. John Show as Next Live Album
"Kiss is set to release the only known soundboard recording from their brief time with guitarist
Mark St. John. Kiss – Off The Soundboard: Poughkeepsie, New York, 1984, the fifth entry in the
band's career-spanning live-album series, will arrive on April 7."
"According to Kiss Concert History Online, St. John played part of the band's Nov. 27, 1984, show
in Baltimore, and then the entire Nov. 28 Poughkeepsie and Nov. 29 Binghamton shows before being
dismissed from the group. Bruce Kulick, who had been filling in for St. John since the tour began
in September, was hired as the band's fourth lead guitarist and remained in that position for
more than a decade."

I'd have perhaps been more interested if it was a show that had been filmed...maybe I'll give it a listen when it comes out.

Who has done more farewell tours now? The Two Guys who used to be Kiss, or the Two Guys that used to be The Who?
Hey Jackass! You need to [Register] or log in to view signatures on ROTHARMY.COM!
Well, technically, The Who only did one tour which was specifically stated as being such by the band...I think. I could be wrong.
KISS have had...what, two or three farewell tours now in the last 20 years?
The KISS show I saw in the fall of 2021 and the venue I saw it at, KISS was charging about half of what other name acts usually do re: ticket price. The venue is an ampitheater with a combination of venue chair seating and lawn seating. Attendance was good, but I've seen that place quite a bit fuller for other concerts. And this was ostensibly the resumption of the farewell tour begun in 2020 that was cancelled due to covid. So, I'm not sure KISS undertaking a farewell tour or announcing a 'final date' is going to mean much to anybody: you can only cry "we're retiring" so many times, one would think.
Final shows December 1 and 2 at Madison Square Garden
I will give Pete Townsend points for honesty. He said he hates performing live but he’s got a $200,000 a year boat hobby to support.
I think some these guys just can’t give it up because they love doing it. One of my college roommates grew up just down the street from Rick Nielsen. He’s good friends with Rick’s oldest son Erron. Erron says his dad would have to be incapacitated or dead to stop him from performing because he loves it so much.
Which, if I'm not being hypercritical about it all, why not? If these geezers can make a buck off it and still want to do it, why not keep doing it? It's not compulsory that people attend these shows, and certainly with the proliferation of audience-shot footage available for free viewing over the last twenty years it isn't as if potential ticket buyers can't due their due diligence beforehand re: is it a band still worth paying to see.
Shout it Out Loud was Motown?? Who knew.....
they did Rock and Roll All Nite twice because they fucked up the first time
"Why did you choose Shout It Out Loud?"
Real answer is it's one that they can still play live.
Seriously I think that was a decent performance if you like KISS and it's maybe the first time I've heard them play live in decades if ever.
It's a shame they don't have the guts to try and play their whole set live or retire.

And it aired around 9 am east coast, and they were in the Sirius XM Garage in LA.
CBS Morning show did a bit on the end of Kiss lip-synching. Gene is going to cry. Just wondering if that will be piped in too?

You can tell what parts were tracks vs Stanley's live singing voice especially on Detroit Rock City on the Stern show. Watch back to any of the other performances of DRC and the tracked vocals all sound the same.
I mean what hypocrites.

Yeah, but even back in the 70's heyday when they were actually playing live, KISS even more than most rock bands was about making a buck...to the point where the music (much of which I enjoyed) was secondary to the spectacle and the image of it all. In that context, for a band like KISS to now be miming to piped in vocals...hardly a shock, lame as it is.
That's the bit that is fucking unforgivable to me.
It's bad enough but to have the fucking nerve to then say that Roth has to retire because he isn't up to it any more when he isn't miming?

Dave probably dances to Sinatra’s I’ve Got You Under My Skin every time Sam has a triggered by Dave moment which seems to be a lot. Sorry Sam. Van Hagar was never as big as the original lineup. Your run in the band has been forgotten already. Nobody wants to hear Dreams.
Sam puts Gene Simmons to shame. That motherfucker is always banging on the window trying to sell you something. Someone needs to unload two barrels of rock salt in his ass.
