Holy shit, that is dire. It'd be like seeing Elvis in '76.
It's my revenge for the 2000 Man poll.
Your revenge is that KISS has somehow actually gotten worse over time?
Heston … he's … he's not a well man.
But we love him all the same.

You know, you say that but think about it. When you are as terrible as they were when they started, one would think that over time one would improve, but no, they got worse. In my mind, that's a much more difficult thing to achieve. :shifty:
From what I see there's still a little hope

That's a good point. In some ways, they really are singularly unique.

Very interesting defence, Perry Mason, and maybe just crazy enough to sway the jury. And if it doesn't and they're blasted into the sun, no worries.

KISS are in my area for a gig in Newcastle next week. Tickets were originally priced at £97 but you can now buy them for the £4.75 booking fee. I'm glad I'm away on holiday or I may have been tempted to go.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Maybe in a few days they'll be paying people to go.

Wow. Thoughts on why people are disinterested? Besides them being shitty and all.

Correct. At a certain point people don't want to see rock and roll music from elderly people lip syncing on stage.

:lol: This would be a very good moment to lock the thread.

As per General Simmons, it's because kids are too busy downloading mp3s to appreciate real rock n roll.

Paul Stanley’s stage banter – delivered in a voice that’s part disgruntled parrot, part man having his balls unexpectedly squeezed, and part kids’ entertainer – remains a thing of astonishment: “I think sometimes, after Makin’ Love, you have to call the doctor … not any doctor … I’m not talking about any doctor. I’m talking about … Calling Doctor Love.” Incredibly, that’s an improvement on his ending of a minute’s silence for the Manchester bombing in 2017 with the announcement: “Does anyone here like to Lick It Up?”

Like to see The Replacements or Swans pull off that seamless segue!
