Turns his back to pretend he's still playing while clutching terrified.
Yeah Gene we believe you played that bass fill one handed... :D

Chaim will probably say "I meant to do that".... right after he calls his lawyer to sue the fuck out of whomever manufactured that faulty hydraulic lift mechanism (or whatever it was).
Between the COVID and near-mishaps like this, it will be a miracle if nobody dies on this tour. :biggrin:

Hahaha I was thinking the exact same thing although at least Derek Smalls was playing live.
Actually it's beyond that. A fucking actor playing a bass player had the balls to play live.

You mean winch mechanism. It came down on cables and not hydraulics. Nice. KISS plays over a recording of themselves. The only thing that went wrong is it didn’t dump Gene off. That would be almost worth the ticket price to see.

How he ever had the fucking nerve to call out Roth on being past it is so fucking ridiculous.

There is no reason - NONE - on why KI$$ are still playing live other than that Youtube comment that they see their fans as being human ATMs. They are the current Spinal Tap complete with shitty stage props and ridiculous opening theatrics. Problem is they fail to see that themselves.

Yeah, you're probably right. For some reason I thought these were elevated platforms which were lowered to the floor at the beginning of the show. Which might actually be safer than cables, but probably would cost more and take longer to set up.... so of course a cheapskate like Chaim wouldn't go for that.

Maybe, just maybe I'm wrong about Roth. He may have woke up and realized you can ride the gravy train of nostalgia so far until it becomes embarrassing. Age catches up to all of us and all I see here is the F A T boy bat-lizard milking his fan base for every nickel and dime they can give to soothe his greed. It's beyond parody.

KISS has used hydraulic lifts in the past. Using cables and platforms is always dicey. To come down from that high out of the lighting truss cables would be the logical option but all the cables attached to the platform have to move at the same speed or that platform tilts. When you have a heavy costume and are wearing big platform boots it’s probably pretty scary. Lot’s a Spinal Tap potential with that kind of rig.

Gene is 72. It’s no different than me grabbing the keys from my aging father and telling him he’s not fit to drive. Of course he thought I was full of shit and he could drive just fine. It’s that ego thing. I still can do it! Gene and Paul are two old fuckers still thinking they can drive the car.

How embarrassing.
Why can't they just ditch the lifts?? Just walk out on stage when the curtain drops.
Guess the more props and pyro is just there to cover up the slow, old ass lifeless band members. Watching other videos, even Singer looks disinterested and is there for the pay check.

Because their whole stage show is designed to distract from the mediocre musicianship and lip syncing.

Why can't Gene market a "KISS Walker" like he does all their other crappy merchandise?

Because Keith Richards already has the marketing patents. That's why.
