louis i see you on every single kiss video i watch and i have to say that i commend your dedication to this band. i know its hard to tell tone over text but i am being 100% serious. i love seeing your name pop up in comment sections
It's really apparent how Paul is struggling to sing. His vocal style is not easy and I can see how hard he is trying to hit those notes. December is their last show at MSG, he is barley going to make it. Not downing Kiss, I'm a huge fan and they are always will be my favorite band and personal idols, but you can't deny the truth.
The biological, digital, and analog clocks never stop ticking Father Time can and Will take you on just like it did to your parents and grandparents!!!Thank You Paul for the hope and belief that you inspired!!!! The next step down the road of your life is publishing a book of your illustrious artwork and opening a Rock n brews in New York City!!!!
There was a reason they didn't do the Q&A portion. I was there. In fact, I was front and center for this, and the woman who handed Paul the flowers was literally right next to me on my left when she stepped forward to hand them to him. Anyhow, what happened was they had played in Cincinnati the night before, and the stage was three hours late arriving to Detroit. That's why the soundcheck took place in the concourse rather than on the actual stage--the road crew was still putting the stage together. So this soundcheck was hastily arranged, and there was simply no time for the Q&A. There was no tour of the stage, no photo ops at Eric's drums (they did have Gene's bass and Paul and Tommy's guitars in the room where the Detroit Red Wings have their post-game press conferences, and you could take photos with those), there was no trying on of Gene and Paul's boots--and I was okay with all of that, because I'd done it all before in 2019, when the tour was barely over a month old (I got to hang out with the band backstage in the hallways of the arena, too). I thought that sucked for the people who had never had the opportunity to do any of that and paid to do it at this show, then didn't get to that night, but they didn't get screwed--I discovered a $500 credit from "KISS" on my credit card statement, and when I contacted Epic Rights and asked if this was to make up for all that stuff that was promised and DIDN'T happen, they said that it was exactly that: a partial refund for the portions of the VIP package that didn't occur. That's right, everyone--Gene gave the money back! I think the coolest part for me was, being that a high-ranking member of their entourage is a friend of mine, I wound up backstage as the crew was tearing it all down, despite the fact that my pass didn't give me that kind of access. I was the only attendee of the show that was there when the band was literally leaving the building. I spoke with Eric (he knows me, and signed a Pearl Drums hardware promo poster for me) and Gene. I did see Tommy putting his things in the car, and Paul arrived with Doc McGhee maybe but a minute before they left. Being that they had the next day off, I should have asked Doc if they could have hung around for three more minutes; maybe five. I saw Doc earlier that night and talked to him. He signed the Motley Crue book for me, too. He's always been great towards me. I can't complain, though. During the almost five years of the tour, all of the guys signed extra items for me at one point or another, over the course of the three shows I attended. That was supposed to be a privilege you could only get if you were buying a guitar, bass, snare drum, or microphone (and I just don't have the space for them, but I do have walls, and posters can go on walls, and I know people in the KISS entourage, so...).
Lo peor es quienes encuentran que suena bien, es realmente penoso y patético el creer que para ser fanático de una banda hay que ser adulador, ciego y sordo
legacy songs, legacy band. Paul has pure joy and it doesn't MATTER that his voice is not what it once was - the passion is rock and roll. At 15:49 in Parasite its evident how Ace's right/left hand precise picking was hard to duplicate. Tommy does an admirable job, but blurrs the last few 16th notes because. . they're just too hard to pick - whereas Ace made that precision legendary. Gene's hilarious and his bass line in Detroit Rock City is legend. Eric sounds great - different drummer style than Peter - and I guess doesn't like the snare locked on (hollow snare). Peter's drumming was more fluid and jazz based - and to each his own. Kiss' songs from the first six albums are on a different level than anything afterwards, and hearing them live brings us all back - a true regression - into the innocent joy and energy of being a teenager again. Thank you boys - Paul, Peter, Ace, and Gene - for making that great music and mystique. Thanks Eric and Tommy for keeping the live shows close to the original. God bless you all!
Now, listen. Little Caesar's Arena, how many of you like to take a taste of Hot and Ready Classiic Pepperoni? I heard backstage that some of you like Crazy Bread with marinara sauce. Pizza pizza. Oh, yeah!"
They need to split Paul's songs up between Eric and Tommy. I bet most people would not mind at all as long as Paul was still on guitar. There's no shame in getting old!!! And Paul has had a career that people can only dream about.
I've said it once, but I'll say it again, I thank everyone who made up the Kiss Band, continuing their legacy, but for me Kiss, will be and always will be, Ace, Peter, Paul and Gene
WHAT THE FUCK!? Where was this playlist during the actual show? I would've way rather heard these songs vs. what we actually got. Didn't even get Strutter which is insane
I watched the 1st show of this tour to see if I should attend when they came to Winnipeg..saw the same setlist as last time, so I passed....this is way better songs..
Gene "Old PubeHead" Simmons. Actually going to see 'em tomorrow November 8 in Vancouver. Same sound check VIP package & floor tix. My buzzin cousin's treat. Looking forward to it.
Been a fan since I was a kid in 1979, I like them more without all the paraphernalia, so this is great, thanks for sharing. Btw, Paul seems to be losing not only his voice, but some height, too? I'm guessing it's those hip surgeries 😔
The stage was three hours late arriving in Detroit from Cincinnati the night before. The crew was still constructing it when the soundcheck was scheduled to take place. They added stuff and went bigger for the final 50, and they underestimated the amount of work it would take. I was backstage when they were tearing it down, and I heard one of the truck drivers bitching that he was loading gear when he should have been sitting in his truck, waiting to leave.
IT is notorios the absence of Peter Criss and Ace Frehley. We don't know the bottom of the situations which they (Paul & Gene) didn't want abierto the closing of them.
This isn't a soundcheck, lol, it's just a private, smaller show without make-up and some yelling at the sound guys. They're not going to actually perform as kiss on that stage afterwards, lol. Can't imagine how much this cost.
I'm sorry, but have you seen Ace? I think he went back to old habits. He's slightly late for shows, can't sing like he used to, and more importantly he can't play like he used to. Everyone seen in the video here is tight on their instruments. And look, I love Ace and Peter as much as the next guy, but Ace lost his chops. He stumbles through shows, quite drunkenly. Look at his live solo band in the year of 2023. Everyone in that band could out perform him. I feel sorry for the guy honestly. This also usually gets asked, not like anyone else cares, but I am also a musician so... I have a little more input (but not much regarding the person side of things) on that.

One big issue, kiss is playing a "soundcheck" in the CONCOURSE of the arena, not on the main stage of the arena. Now, if my daddy paid alota money for me to see the "full VIP soundcheck" experience, and kiss, n I was sent to stand in front of a stage that is 17 inches tall in the HALLWAY of Lil Ceasars, it would be real bad. NO Q&A either. Of course it was an adequate size stage since it's only HALF of KISS. R
See my reply to another comment on them not taking questions. The stage was three hours late arriving from Cincinnati, where they played the night before. They had to play in the concourse, because the crew was still constructing the stage inside. They issued partial refunds for the portions of the VIP experience that weren't fulfilled. I imagine the amount was different depending on which VIP package you purchased, but I got $500 back.
@@devinw5150 Tommy doesn't even play the solos right. Ace does just fine still. Tommy couldn't form his own solo if his life depended on it. And he like ur students doesn't have the creativity Ace did to come up with all his iconic solos either
@@roberthaizlip4057 Ace does not do fine now. He can hardly play at all and he never could sing. If I paid money to watch him and his band play now, I would demand a refund. That’s how bad he has declined and I’ve watched several of his current club performances on utube. Tommy plays the majority of the old Kiss material spot on. He’s the one who had to reteach Ace all the solos when Kiss first put the makeup back on. You couldn’t be more wrong if you tried. I would hardly call Ace’s solos “iconic” They are mostly made up of standard blues scale licks that any semi pro guitar player can play with ease.
@@devinw5150 Someone is jealous that Ace is a legend and MANY famous guitarists list him as their Idol. His solos are most definitely iconic, melodic and unique. The only people saying Tommy taught Ace are the proven liars Paul and Gene. Ace still mops the floor with Tommy. Tommy can't play anything original. He's been an Ace wanna be all his life.
@@roberthaizlip4057 I don’t disagree that Ace influenced many guitar players. He definitely played an important part of R&R history. That’s undeniable. Gene and Paul aren’t the only ones that said Tommy helped Ace relearn his parts. Peter also verified that Tommy helped Ace relearn his parts in one of his interviews and of course, Tommy himself said it too. I know that’s really hard for you to accept because he’s your idol and you worship the ground he walks on but It’s not really a big deal and totally understandable. He hadn’t played that stuff in decades. That, combined with all of his drug and alcohol abuse would cause memory problems. As far as the rest of your rant, that’s all opinionated. You think his solos were “iconic,” I think they’re nothing special and every average guitar player in the world would have no problem playing them. What’s indisputable is how much Ace has deteriorated over the years. There’s no way he could ever do what Tommy’s doing in Kiss right now. Ace is a shell of his former self. Father time has been very cruel to him. As far as jealousy? 🤣 The only thing I’m jealous of as far as Ace Frehley goes is the amount of money he made with the average amount of talent he had but that goes for the other 3 guys too. Gene, Paul and Peter are no musical geniuses either. They just developed a good gimmick that helped sell tickets and they would tell you that themselves. Sometimes it’s not about how talented you are, it’s about drive and determination to make dreams come true and I give all 4 of them all the credit in the world for that. They deserve it.
At this age you can't say anything about his vocals. He's brought us 50 great years! Rock on Paul!!
RITE ON

The only people saying Tommy taught Ace are the proven liars Paul and Gene. Ace still mops the floor with Tommy. Tommy can't play anything original. He's been an Ace wanna be all his life.
@@roberthaizlip4057 I don’t disagree that Ace influenced many guitar players. He definitely played an important part of R&R history. That’s undeniable. Gene and Paul aren’t the only ones that said Tommy helped Ace relearn his parts. Peter also verified that Tommy helped Ace relearn his parts in one of his interviews and of course, Tommy himself said it too. I know that’s really hard for you to accept because he’s your idol and you worship the ground he walks on but It’s not really a big deal and totally understandable. He hadn’t played that stuff in decades. That, combined with all of his drug and alcohol abuse would cause memory problems. As far as the rest of your rant, that’s all opinionated. You think his solos were “iconic,” I think they’re nothing special and every average guitar player in the world would have no problem playing them. What’s indisputable is how much Ace has deteriorated over the years. There’s no way he could ever do what Tommy’s doing in Kiss right now. Ace is a shell of his former self. Father time has been very cruel to him. As far as jealousy? 🤣 The only thing I’m jealous of as far as Ace Frehley goes is the amount of money he made with the average amount of talent he had but that goes for the other 3 guys too. Gene, Paul and Peter are no musical geniuses either. They just developed a good gimmick that helped sell tickets and they would tell you that themselves. Sometimes it’s not about how talented you are, it’s about drive and determination to make dreams come true and I give all 4 of them all the credit in the world for that. They deserve it.

Paul has the warble of an old lady singing in church. Sad. They’ll still be the hottest band in the world… but they should have walked away years ago.
