At the time we never understood this is the second best era of Kiss. Pauls at his vocal best, the songs are fact and good. The whole band is tight and as always doing amazing live shows. You could even argue this is Kiss in their absolute PRIME

[@JPL1311]

Paul's voice was in tip top shape from Creatures through Revenge

[@kawada1]

Yet the tour bombed. I was at this rehearsal and the first show. Was a super cool experience. I met Eric trying to get in and he told a group of us he couldn't help us out, I still got in anway and met my other two friends who had snuck in with the press group that came on all at once.

[@elvinposey5251]

From the videos I've seen all the shows looked packed. They should've just played smaller places in smaller markets instead of arenas! I prefer to see my fav bands in clubs or theaters instead of big arenas anyway. The fans are real fans and crowds are more into it. @@kawada1

[@pascaldegraaf1625]

Vinnie Vincents writing had a lot to do with it. But KISS was on their best.

[@jetcitysinatra7300]

KISS has always sounded good even when they didn't. I understand the Ace and Peter thing. During the Dynasty Tour KISS was like Pizza *When it is good it is really good and when it is bad it was still pretty good* Having said that Revenge is their strongest sounding concert tour in my opinion. I love the heavy sound and if they had the sound equipment they have now back in the 70's they would have blown everyone not just off the stage but off the planet as well. I am glad that they are retiring now (will this be true, again . . .) I do wish KISS had done *Kissin Time* as a second or third song on their set list. So anyways thanks for sharing this.

[@Spflowers10000]

The HITS tour was a close 2nd, liked the stage show more on that tour, but the set list is better here just because the revenge songs are included. Revenge is their best non make up lp by far, and is in my top 2 with Creatures. Depends on which day of the week it is which lp i like more.

[@santiagosanchezg]

KISS’ best live era. Bruce played awesome, their best look of the non make up era, they sounded great.

[@jonvisser1509]

[@michelbanen2797]

@@jonvisser1509 True.

[@freepressright]

This was the "truest" version of KISS, and I say that not to take anything away from Eric Carr. Had he lived, he would have certainly been there for this. But the Revenge album is much more organic and lacking in any gimmicks the 80s era would have inherently taken on. No huge reverb and delay. The drums are dry and natural sounding in the mix. The guitar has a traditional Marshall sounding overdrive. No more "Rockman Ace" thin sounding, overdone reverb and delay. There is nothing hiding Bruce and Paul's playing, and overdrive levels are within reason -- so much so that the tonal integrity of the guitars rings true. Vocals are awesome. Bass has that great Ampeg growl. At this time, this band had nothing to prove. Makeup era was more than a decade in the past. The competitive guitar acrobatics of the 80s had passed. They looked normal and were just interested in writing and playing music. The tour saw them return to the normal tempos on all the classic songs. Gene and Paul didn't want to speed up the tempos to prove they could compete with mainstream "metal," which I think is the right move, but then it leaves people blaming Eric Carr for those songs being so fast. It wasn't him. I'd have loved to have seen Eric Carr drumming those songs at normal tempo, like he did on the last makeup tour with Ace in the band. But at least tour footage still exists where the details of the old KISS tunes could shine through without rush. Eric Singer is a continuation of the high-level skill that Eric Carr brought to the band. I love them both equally.

[@JPL1311]

Definitely a great era although short liver era of KISS! Saw them several times of this tour and they sounded amazing!

[@arturnienartowicz7213]

To me Revenge is the best KISS album, and one of my 20 favorite hard rock albums OAT.

[@JPL1311]

Great Album

[@elvinposey5251]

First time seeing this. KISS rehearsal with fans. pretty cool. More laid back then normal concert. Gene seems relaxed. Paul is still rocking out. I never thought Singer played older KISS songs as good as Carr did. I think Eric had more of a Peter Criss style but with a heavier style. KISS became KISS again with Hot in Shade tour and then Revenge.

[@JPL1311]

I always said Revenge tour was the best they sounded live! They seemed re-energized and had a chip on their shoulder!

[@TheStumyu]

Paul is on fire. Bruce and Eric are technically brilliant as always. Oh, and Revenge Simmons is the best Simmons.

[@jeffhodge7272]

Indeed.When I saw the video for "Unholy" I told my roommate.They look and sound heavy as he'll. KISS was back!

[@theshield2207]

[@JPL1311]

He was new to the band and they were trying to get the fans to accept him

[@DouglasLippi]

Nice to hear and see a professionally-filmed live performance with no overdubs or edits! They actually sing fairly decently. I thought the Revenge album was great. It's a shame they don't play any of the post-makeup songs anymore.

[@Pakiss333]

Revenge is for me one if not the greatest kiss album. Eric Singer gave a killer touch to it, you can see Paul giving the classical Kiss speech and Eric is acting unaware, the guy is so talented, funny, energetic, and he is saying how excited he is the fans are getting to know him and is kind of sad that people keeps whining over Peter, Peter is awesome too but i think for the 90s and nowdays Eric's style is more modern and fits better, Some people still treating him like "the new guy" and he is been with kiss from before i was born and let me tell you i am not that young anymore XD. Gosh i wish there was more collectibles from Revenge era and Erics

Definitely brought new life to the band and modernized some classics!

I would have to say that KISS during the "Revenge" era was excellent. I remember someone making a comment about learning the guitar parts to "Unholy", and the person said that the song was way more complex than he thought. It's not "3 chords and a cloud of dust", as Elvis Presley once said about the album KISS "Alive".

[@bweezy407]

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE ERIC CARR. I miss him greatly. BUT, Eric Singer was a great kick in the ass for the band. I think they had gotten complacent, and by the HITS tour, they were a homogenized version of the band that we all love. By Revenge, the excitement was back and they sounded like a new band.

[@JPL1311]

The difference with Revenge had more to do with Gene recommitting to the band full time and dropping a lot of his side projects. This began with Hot in the Shade and the results started to show on that tour and peaked with Revenge!

I really feel like Paul sounds the most lucid and conscientious of his career and kiss as a band during this era. Their music was heavy and really good and played very very well and not too fast like so much unfortunately in the 80s. I loved a lot of the 80s stuff but playing live was so extremely fast it almost sounded like a punk cover and it ruined everything. It's really up to the rhythm section to hold that down and I know what I'm talking about since I played drums now for nearly 50 years. Although I do love a lot of the old stuff I do think the band was tighter and at their best as musicians during these years in the 90s.
