    Not exactly a difficult song to sing either.

      Not to mention them playing the song down a step as well, right?

        Paul is literally doing the worst thing possible for his voice right now. He's adding more difficult-to-sing songs into the setlist, songs that require more exertion and more high notes like Creatures of the Night. I'd rather that they would have kept it a Gene-heavy set like it was from 2012-2014, there Paul didn't have to exert his voice so badly and he actually for a while, sounded MUCH better.

          VH CD


          The good parts are great and the bad parts are of little interest to me.

          Kinda like when I have 2 or maybe 3 songs on a LP that I like more than the others I think this CD is NORMAL.

          We have heard these songs 25 different ways what's with some of you all ?

          It reminds me of my old stance on converting Black and White movies to color and all the discussion of what is best for the film historically.

          Like these people who think the original movie is what they are converting...and it will never ever be black and white again...lol

          We have the original studio versions..this new LP is just some more fuel for the flame...good stuff.

          Roth On!

            With YouTube people know what they are going to get.

            Going to a KI$$ or even Van Halen show at this point is a fully informed and consensual transaction.

            Plus everything is better in real life with a few beers in the system than watching a YouTube video recorded on a smart phone...

              Kiss is all about the experience. None of them are stellar at anything, they put on a Hell of a show (used to anyway) though.

                I was a HUGE KISS fan in the '70's... Had posters all over my walls...

                I think I've seen them 5 or 6 times, including in Milan, Italy in 1996 when 9 of us crammed in a van and drove all day from Naples to see them on their Reunion Tour....

                I took my oldest son to their "Farewell Tour", which was 15 years ago...

                I took my youngest son in 2004, and we got on their DVD for about two seconds....

                And I give them mad props for lasting this long...

                But their act needs to be put to rest, finally....

                It's not like VH, where they still have the music to support them, albeit with degraded vocals as well....

                With KISS, it's the same old, same old....

                Gene breathes fire, Gene spits blood, Gene flies to the rafters, Paul flies to the platform, yadda, yadda, yadda....

                And yeah, the fact that they still get somewhat respectable crowds in the U.S. is because the show is still the show....

                  KISS was great till, R&R OVER..for me. I was done but what Gene and those cats have done is unbelievable they have amassed more money ....it is useless repeating it all..///it's amazing.

                  With the make-up and the right approach others could play this music as a attraction "authorized by KISS management" forever.

                  ..like freeking Star Wars....

I hear a ton of VH played on Satellite, but NEVER once have I heard any of the live cuts.
                    I literally cannot remember the last time a radio DJ influenced my listening never mind my buying choices.

                    I've bought 2 albums in the last couple of months both based on comments here...

                      I'd agree - I don't think a DJ has ever influenced my choices. Music magazines were always far more important - the reviews section of Classic Rock is very good for finding new stuff.

                          That entire performance is an abortion. Paul sounds incredibly bad, but even the harmonies from the others are off key.

                            Gene is too busy hamming for the camera, and being the character. These guys have become a caricature of themselves.

                              It would be interesting to see where they would come in a KI$$ Tribute Bands competition...

                                Stanley could get by with slower songs, more nuanced, so he didn't have to "project" so much. Unfortunately, there are only about 4 songs in the entire KISS repertoire that allow for this to take effect.
