Ted Nugent hosts the opening night of KISS' "Farewell" Tour in 2000. Notice the lifts that Peter uses when decending on the platform to make him look as tall as the rest of the band! Comment if you were there!!

That’s when Kiss should have called it a day. Gene was much more active on stage, Paul still had a voice and Ace and Peter were there and still playing well. This is the Kiss I remember and idolize…
@ladypalomino31512 жыл бұрын
Ace and Peter are still the best in Kiss.. Ace is the greatest, a legend. He still is a Rockin and Rollin. And thank God for his Sobriety. Shock Me Ace...

Why Paul and Gene couldn't find it within them to deal with Ace and Peter's eccentricities is a mystery. Don't they know all great bands in history had great opposing personalities. Energy requires opposing forces meeting in combustion.

My first Kiss Concert was Creatures of the Night when I was 15. Saw all the 80's tours. Saw the 96 reunion tour twice, San Diego and LA. This concert was by far the best... saw it in Vegas. Saw them in the mid 2ks... not the same as it was back in the day, it's a lot slower beat. The Destroyer outfits were my favorite... so that was icing on the cake for me. My first Album was Alive II, then went on to buy them all. Room was wallpapered in posters of Kiss until I left for the Navy. Favorite poster... yep, Destroyer album.

I was there! Incredible concert 😁 I took my 16 y/o to his 1st KISS show. He was just memorized. We had 3rd row seats. Afterwards, we saw highlights of the concert on VH-1. We saw a quick pan of the crowd and saw ourselves in the clip. My son was elated. That was probably my 7th or 8th KISS concert. I've always followed KISS since I was 15 years old. Detroit was my hometown and KISS was always very well received there. Rock on my friends, rock on!

Not a single person commenting on here can say that they were in the band. Or played all those clubs until they finally sold out arena's & stadiums around the world. But yet you think you're worthy of criticizing KISS. You guys didn't start up the band or influence so many to pick up drumsticks and guitars. When you go to a KISS concert it's something that you'll never forget. It's BadAss, balls to the wall, blood curdling, fire breathing, guitar smoking, rocket shooting, drum rising, guitar licking, Rock n Roll all night freaking party that will have you talking about it for years after. I know I've been there several times and you get your money's worth and more. They made it big time while you sit there typing Peter sucks and Ace isn't any good. I'll be at the final Farewell show in 2019 partying with this band that goes all out. Atlanta Ga.

KISS hasn't done multiple farewell tours. They did one with the original lineup. Then reformed a new version that doesn't make Paul an Gene so freaking nervous. Now they're ending with the new version that didn't make Paul and Gene so freaking nervous. But I don't see KISS being completely over. I think they'll make occasional TV appearances and maybe play small venues here and there.

If you have seen other KISS shows Ace is supposed to sing those parts. Paul said many times of the “Farewell Tour” - “Ace was too drunk to perform most of the time. Many times Tommy Thayer took over during a show. One night it was hot and we played outside. Ace went back while I talked. Ace had on a pair of shorts and T-shirt then played the show wearing that while the rest of us played in full costume. Ace nearly got kicked out then. We're still here in spite of Ace."
