      Don't see how this is news other than thousands, if not hundreds of thousands before this guy died from COVID in the name of capitalism. Pual and the cross-dressing Jew both love their money so god damn much so what's a sacrificed crew member when it comes to their banks accounts. Plus, the lawyers have been paid and they are in the clear. Their lame-ass tour rolls on.

            He also nowhere near being the cross dresser, either.

              Actually, they're all cross dressers. Before they came up with the Kabuki makeup, they looked like a New York Dolls ripoff (the blonde is Chaim).....



              shortly after this picture was taken, they fired Lily Tomlin from the band and replaced her with Ace Frehley.

                      KI$$ is in the middle of its "End Of The Road" farewell tour, which was originally scheduled to conclude on July 17, 2021 in New York City but is now expected to last well into 2022.

                      Then 2023, 2024, 2025...

                      Nothing like having fans more stupid than Trump voters that are human ATMs.

                        Doc McGhee must be spreading Covid around to all of his clients. Jon Bon Jovi's got it now....

                        Jon Bon Jovi has tested positive for COVID-19, forcing the cancelation of an appearance and performance in Miami Beach.

                          Did anyone really think this was actually a farewell tour for the band?

                          They'll keep going as long as there is a dollar to be made.

                            They need to stop sleeping with the same whores. They used to give each other the same clap and now it’s clap and Covid.

                              Kiss deny crew claims that lax Covid-19 tour protocols led to guitar tech’s death

                              By Classic Rock ( Classic Rock ) 4 days ago

                              Kiss have rejected accusations from anonymous crew members that guitar tech Francis Stueber’s death on tour stemmed from “unsafe” working environment




                              Kiss have denied suggestions from anonymous members of their own road crew that lax Covid-19 protocols on their American tour played a part in the Coronavirus-related death of long-time guitar tech Francis Stueber.

                              Paul Stanley’s guitar tech for 20 years, 53-year-old, father of three Stueber passed away on October 17 in his hotel room in Detroit two days after being quarantined following a positive test for the virus. Stanley paid tribute to his “dear friend” on social media, writing “Both on and offstage I depended on him for so much.”

                              “We are profoundly heartbroken at the loss of Francis, he was a friend and colleague of 20 years, there is no way to replace him,” the band told Rolling Stone in a statement. “Millions of people have lost someone special to this horrific virus and we encourage everyone to get vaccinated. Please protect yourself and your loved ones.”

                              On October 20, however, Rolling Stone reported a claim from anonymous members of the band’s road crew that lax, “unsafe” Covid protocols played a part in Stueber’s death. In the story, published under the heading, Couldn’t Believe How Unsafe It Was’: Kiss’ Roadies Blame Lax Covid Protocols for Guitar Tech’s Death one crew member is quoted as saying: “Every day during the shows, we weren’t tested. And there are so many unknowns. Did we superspread this, did we spread this thing from city to city? It’s horrible that Fran passed, and it’s horrible if this is our protocol just for us to tour. Is this going to be the normal, to stick someone in a hotel and if somebody dies, ‘Oh, well, off to the next guy?’

                              "I couldn't believe how unsafe it was, and that we were still going. We'd been frustrated for weeks, and by the time Fran died, I just thought, 'You have to be fucking kidding me.'”


                              “Out of greed, we watched our friend die day after day” he said. “And nobody did anything.”

                                Destroyer "super deluxe" remaster box set? Don't waste your money!

                                So it seems like everybody's putting out some huge deluxe remaster of a classic album lately, and of course Chaim Witz ain't going to pass that up. And the Destroyer set pretty much has the same format that all of these mega box remasters do.... you get the original album, some alternative mixes, some demos and a live show.

                                The most advertised track is probably the "all new acoustic" version of "Beth". Which pretty much sounds like the old version, with louder acoustic guitars and most of Bob Ezrin's overproduced orchestration removed. It's a little better, but nothing revolutionary. And for a band that can't stop talking shit about Peter Criss, they obviously aren't above using him to make another buck.

                                The demos & alternative mixes? Pretty much what you would expect. Interesting listen, I guess. Kinda funny how "God of Thunder" was damn near a disco song in its demo form. And you thought they didn't do that crap until Dynasty??

                                And then there's the live disk from Paris, 1976. I was hoping for a decent live recording here.... and hopefully not buried in overdubs like Alive & Alive II were. Well, the good news is... there are definitely no overdubs! The bad news is... it's literally a poor audience recording where you can literally hear the tape being "chewed" in several spots. Seriously, Chaim?? You released this, and expected people to pay for it??

                                Don't waste your money. Download the damn thing. And just in case Chaim's lawyers read this.... I doubt I'll even keep it.
