- From Nashville Tennessee’s Bridgestone Arena Back Room area.
KISS electrifies their die hard fans with a set of KISS classics.
Around the 2:45 mark, one of the amplifiers blows up, yet the show continues to a ruckus crowd of KISS Army Soldiers.
As the guitar picks are being tossed.. Gene’s mindset “ten cents gone, another, and another, up to thirty now.”
I love Kiss, they were my absolute favorite growing up and its going to suck watching them retire but it's also very understandable for their age, love ya Kiss!!
dont worry there will be one more "before the grave tour,
we need a bit more $$"
I read the same comment in 1996😂
Love love love Paul!!! My first KISS concert at age 14!! I am
61 now and still rocking it out. KISS rules.
Hello 😊 Paul is 71 years old.. Love him too but i'm so happy that he's finally retiring...
Love them since the 70’s Im 61. From Norway.
Paul NO canta, desafina, se esfuerza y no llega a las notas, gallitos y una tortura de escuchar.
He actually sounds alot better than the past few years, he is as good as he is going to sound at his age, thanks so much for your years of dedication towards making some of the best music in the industry, back in the day Paul was untouchable!!
Except at the gaybar...
😆
Yep, he’s made quite the comeback vocally. Holistic medicine works.
Some days are better than others. It's nice to see that he can have a good day every now and then. I think Paul only uses backing tracks on certain parts on the bad days. At least you know he could sing them on a good day.
Amen!!
Sounds good. Enjoy these bands while we can!
YES!!! RITE ON!!!
They act like they’re just throwing this song out off the top of their head. They rehearse all that too
Yeah, same four songs every time. Sad
WOW I LOVE THESE SMALL PRIVATE SHOWS !!! BEFORE THE BIG ONE !!!! ❤
Why call this a sound check? It’s a planned performance. Soundchecks take place after the backline systems have been set up onstage, to make sure everything works and dialed in to the room acoustics. They’re on a side stage. 😊
The sort of brainiacs who pay for this don’t know the difference. A “soundcheck” not even in the concert space, what a joke!
i wonder the same, and also wonder if they are plugged into the main PA at the same time for levels and mix.
They gotta call it something so they can sell it to ya. Lol
As Paul explained right at the beginning normally they would be playing in the arena but they're still setting it up and apparently running late. So you got to give the people who paid for it what they paid for at least to an extent
I bet you don’t get invited to many parties!
Genes voice has held up probably better than any of his peers. He has consistently been good for decades that’s impressive.
Except , of course, compared to the MIGHTY Glenn Hughes! but THAT is unfair.....
It’s sad knowing that next week I will probably see Kiss for the last time. Been a great run!
It's OK, my young Timmy. Do not be sad about your friends, Demon, Starman, Spaceman & Catman. They are not going anywhere.
If you are American, get back to being sad about being a member of the dumbest, most self-absorbed, most apathetic, most willfully uninformed population in the history of what they call Earth.
Look at our installed leader. He couldn't order the correct lunch choices for himself and two passengers at a McDonald's Drive-Thru...in three attempts.
Get back to being sad about hearing Spanish as the first language you hear when you leave the house, and the last one before you get home.
Get sad because we get taxed up the ass for schools and they are not teaching children sh*t.
Get sad about virtually everything you hear and see on any "news" program being opinion, probably bought-and-paid-for or a complete lie.
And be sad because our elected employees think we work for them.
But fret not Tim, you will never see "KISS" for the last time.
Don't count on it. In 83 I saw the stones farewell tour. Their still out in 2023. Forty years later and they were old guys back then.
The job of an entertainer is to entertain. Great entertainers provide great entertainment.
Legendary entertainers provide that great entertainment constantly, surviving changes in popular taste, media marketing, genre modification, personal/professional challenges.
They apply their work ethic, will, style, presence, and talent through a unique or innovative show presentation over decades and enjoyed/paid by generations.
Also lots of respect to Tommy Thayer for carrying the torch to keep them alive this far!!
Fake Frehley
I love what Ace did to get KISS started but Tommy is a very nice guy and he shows up to the show sober and plays a hell of a guitar!
@@atticratfd ace is sober
@@Muh_Username yes he is now but he wasn’t went he was replaced by Tommy ….and he wasn’t at the Farewell tour …. I was comparing Aces appearance on stage when he was in KISS and Tommy’s appearance now
@Mah_Username Ace plays like shit anymore. His singing is horrible, and his guitar playing has gone down hill. So keep going with the worn out put downs of Tommy because frankly Kiss would sound like shit with the way Ace currently plays.
Over time, Paul has become my favorite member. And this current lineup is their absolute best. I wish it weren’t ending, but they really are at the top of the world.
If Paul’s you’re favorite member… you are blinded by the smoke and bombs 😂
Clueless
kind of odd calling a mini VIP concert a "sound check" since they aren't even playing in the main arena.
KISS FOREVER 1973 2023 ................... HARD ROCK
Ready for the show sold out, as usual 👍👍👍! Amazing band 👍👍👍
YES!!!!
I was leaving Nashville that afternoon on the way to Memphis, saw all the tour buses lined up outside the arena as we left the Country Music Hall of Fame
They still got it.
Paul NO tiene la voz
@@AJLeonardo198 HE SAID ( THEY STILL GOT IT )
@@LOUIS-np6be Aún tiene, lo afeminado exagerado, pero no tiene la voz 🤣
WOW CLASSIC PEARL KIT !!!
Just fell back in Love.
proof that Kiss DOES play their instruments. Sounds good
Too bad they (paul) can't sing
Gene’s lip syncing in several songs
@@petera.michaelsen4657 only God of Thunder. Paul fakes just about everything.
@@petera.michaelsen4657what songs?
@@vouztyro Cold Gin, War Machine
"Soundcheck" at this point actually consists of making sure the tape is rewound.
Enough is enough guys come-on !
KISS Alive was almost 50yrs ago ~~~~~~😮~~~~~~
70's KISS FAN FOREVER
(untill 85' then not so much)
ZZ TOP IS SOOO GOOD, nice to see that 4 old boys, lets gooo ZZ TOP!!!
Rockin’ in Nashville
Have loved Kiss since I was a little kid and they're still great musically but Paul sounds rough. Not Bon Jovi or Vince Neil rough but rough enough. Kind of sad.
The thumb nail looked like Kamal Harris playing guitar
They still sound amazing
They use backing tracks.
AHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHAHA AMAZING AHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAHAHA
WTF???
They sound like a great four piece rock band for sure
No shade but I seriously thought this was going to be Kamille Harris playing guitar judging by thumbnail.
Say what you will about KISS but...They represent a time that was far better than today. No hate or political extremists waging war. Teens then were rocking and enjoying lives fully. ❤
Ace and Peter. To me best kiss line up
always will be
With all of the videos going around showing them lip syncing it was nice to see them really playing. I’ve never been a huge Kiss fan but I think they sound F**KING AMAZING!!!!!!!!
En verdad crees que Stanley canta bien? 😂 desafinado, gallitos, le cuesta cantar.
Paul sounds good on hotter than hell
😂 claro, y Gene siempre ha sido fiel a su esposa
No he doesn’t. He sounds horrible. The verses are basically unlistenable. The choruses are mostly Gene, Tommy, and Eric.
Gene just stands there….burned out. Saw them in 1979 and it was awesome!!!
Годы берут своё...
Sounds great guys. This is the reason why GODS OF THUNDER formed our tribute to KISS. CUZ THEY ROCK!!!! Much Love to ALL the members of KISS throughout the years!!! WE LOVE YOU!!
You nice there Paul and I'm glad you look better. It had to bugg you, nice smile now. You look great. I have seen your other interviews about giving till it hurts. Yes I know your from a group from Judah and you do give till it hurts (Yeshua smile). In so many ways. Oh not me! Not askin. Just pointing. Life goes on, but how much longer. For any of us or us all. Drummer is above the Norm (not MacDonald, well yes he is. By 6 feet, sick! Norm would like it.) and the rest is just you. In 74 or 75 I seen you guys at the Palace Theatre in Dayton Ohio, 3 rows back, maybe 4, far enough not to turn into a hot dinner, the first album. It was perfect, on time, couldn't tell the difference from the album. I am disabled, not much to get life but I really enjoy music. I think that the time we have left before the real Messiah comes is with years, not a decade. If you have not been blown by the wind I pray you are.
Hardest working band ever, amazing doing a sound check show and then doing makeup and then 2 hour show!!!
Prueba de sonido? Es uno de los shows que venden para los tontitos que pagan cientos o miles de dólares por tenerlos cerca y escuchar las desafinaciones y voz gastada de Stanley.
@AJLeonardo198 YOU WEREN'T INVITED 😢😢 TO ESPECIAL SMALL PRE CONCERT SHOW 😢😢 IT WAS ONLY FOR FANS!!!!!
That Framus amp Paul is using is a pretty rare bird.
It’s an ENGL. he’s been an ENGL guy for quite some time.
@@jcmoore5819 You got me. I think the silver faceplate threw me off.
I know my mom wore that exact jacket Pual has on in the 80s….j/ks aside that’s what it reminds me of and good memories of her…shoulder padded blouses…
Love Paul’s guitar tone
I did a meet and greet with them in Sacramento cali and even then he sounded way better
This is nice. For me the magic was lost when Peter and Ace were no longer part of the band. I wish they could of found a way to work things out but its understandable why they were fired from what I've read. This was nice. Thanks for posting it.
Nice wigs.
Paul's voice is about shot
Omg I thought that was my aunt on the thumbnail.
I love KISS ❤
Even the setlist for the VIP has become stale
In their 70s!! 🤘😍😍
Right on you guys. I perform at intersections and it's even better. Hundreds of thousands of people drive by. Oh yea! Marshall Wright
KISS FOREWER!!! SHABBAT SHALOM!!! ;)
Love the sound checks

Paul's guitar is killer
Kiss without makeup, revealing they are mere mortals after all 😂
This is why Paul uses backing tracks. :D
Even Taylor Swift, the biggest artist in the world right now, uses tracks
@@scotthoffman6249 If so, it's because she doesn't have enough talent to do it real.
Hope that helps.
@@scotthoffman6249😂Taylor swift is shit at best
@@scotthoffman6249 Not that completely replace her vocal
So what?? He is a legend! If you don't like... Who cares?
How dare they play " Shock~Me " w/o ACE 😢
Tommy “get me a sammich” Thayer will NEVER be as good or even close to as good as ACE. ACE>Tommy
FREHLEY WAS ON TOUR !!! SO ERIC PLAYED 😂
Is that Paul Stanley or Kamala Harris?
It's more like a soundcheck for a Cpt JeanLuc Picard cosplay convention. This must be the senior citizens meet and greet complete with fish sticks and green jello.
Paul willingly does these rehearsals for fans, using only his true current voice and thinks no one will hear the obvious difference during the actual shows.
Exactly
He's 70 something you doink.
@@notsnackbarso does that make it ok to mime at live shows?
( AND THINKS ) LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT PAUL THINKS !!!!!
@@theelvisguru9490Then don’t go to the show if you just want to complain. KISS has gotten older (like we all do). I’ve seen them numerous times and always have a great time. Their shows are so fun!
I think gene sees something he likes at 12:39
❤❤🥰🥰🌹
I've been a fan of kiss since I was 8 years old Paul is my favorite
If you don’t like KISS, why are you watching this? Go away. No one told you to watch it!
I never saw Eric so angry.
So I wasn’t the only one who seen that he was definitely heated
I think most Kiss fans have seen him much angrier. This "anger" you saw or didn't see all has to do with technical issues. Gene also was having microphone issues. Nothing to see here.
YEAH LIKE YOU CAN SEE FROM WAY BACK !!! AT HOME!!!😂
Cheater Criss always looks pissed off or bored during this tour
At his playing?
So they now sell tickets for soundchecks?? what next?
Tons of bands do this. There's usually a q+a, exclusive merch, and early entrance and sometimes photo, kiss is definitely not the first band to do this. It's usually not a traditional sound check that you are thinking of. It's more a mini show than anything.
I love Gene's bass lines. Totally underrated. Amazing.
What happened to the sound at 2:45? It wasnt too bad for a cell phone, then it sounded like Cecil B. DeMill here put his hnd over the phone's mic.
Take away the circus and they’re a 1970’s bar band
Eve though it is Kiss, they sound like a cover band. Paul can’t sing unless it’s too track. Thank goodness it is The End of the Road. It was never Kiss without Ace and Peter
So funny even with those they doing same crap nothing Exclusive.. smh the end of the road for sho!!😅👍🤘
THIS IS WHAT A KISS CONCERT SHOULD BE IN 2023
KISS DONT DO ( SHOULD) 😂
Sounding better than ever I must say.
Yep but I’m still pissed how they treat Peter and Ace.
Y la voz de Stanley? 😂 Desafinado, Gallitos, no llega a las notas, se le pierde la voz.
Ace Frehley IS Kiss.
WHERE 😂 THERE IS NO FREHLEY IN KISS !!! LONG TIME !!! WE HAVE SUPER WORLD FAMOUS MR TOMMY THAYER!!!!
Lol... no, he's not.😂
Anybody get an autograph? O WAIT!!
2 songs off Hotter Than Hell. 👍👍👍👍
Hotter Than Hell, Going Blind, and Got to Choose
this is true kiss.

Thank you for posting, @RockBoxRebel
Go to their website and look at the cost of this VIP package….. and its sold out continually…
At some point, you’ve made enough and need to sit down
❤❤❤❤
Kiss should extend the tour. He sings great
May I have the number of your dealer?
😂😂
Throwing picks at people like they’re dogs..spend a couple of grand,take a guitar pick home. 😝
Not Rock Stars. ROCK GODS!
Thank god they are retiring!
20 years too late but it’s a lie they will fake everything until they are all pissing in their diapers.
WHICH ONE
Interesting how the bass kept playing while Gene was "pointing" with his picking hand (3:09). Must have a magic bass.
Might have been relevant 45+ years ago. But this band is a joke now.
After Gene's covid rants I can't stand to see any of their faces..
Bravo 👏 I was a Fan since I was 15, but since they have shown their real faces, I have sold all their Stuff.
I bet this is another way for Gene and Paul to make more $$$?
welp there ya have it folks...
an end of a era!!
been a fan since 1975
but all good things must come to an end
retirement is soon
ace and peter not so much..
not doing to well.
ACE>Tommy “get me a sammich” Thayer. Always. I know that getting Peter and Ace for these shows was out of the question for Paul and Gene. But without them, this is just a really good COVER band. Facts.
I saw the thumbnail of this video and thought they brought kamala Harris on stage
How is it a soundcheck ?
Who could've guessed they would play Plaster caster. 20 years of Plaster. Every time.
Paul should rather have a spoken word tour.🙄
They never played Goin' Blind before touring with the Melvins
OMG!!!! Isn't that Kamala Harris walking up to the mike @0:15. WTH is she doing on stage with KISS.
My ass would have been there but my car was stolen 💔😞🤬 double loss ..I'll never see a kiss show live in person 💔💔💔 #PaulForPresident ❤️
Damn 😢
@@dirkvanderpoel6797 thx it sucks OUT LOUD 😭💔
I feel so sorry for you. I saw them for the very last time in Amsterdam back in June. a hug for you from Holland 😚
@@dirkvanderpoel6797 it was June 12! My daughter is in Europe and that's her birthday !!...I tried to talk her into meeting me there !!! Thx for the sympathy 🙏 it's a daily battle for me lol
What a cashgrab.
I rank this along with Dead & Co. Just embarrassing cash grabbing off past glories and sound like pure 💩!
“““““““Soundcheck“““““““
How much?
Thought it was Kamala Harris in the thumb nail .. 😂
