KISS Download Festival 10/6/2022

[@Bob-ew5pp]

It's good to see people still enjoying Kiss.

[@19lanced92]

I just watched the conor Nate fight on KZbin and the next video in the playlist was this and I seen your picture as top comment, what are the odds lol

[@benable1302]

Thank you for sharing. This show at Download 2022 is the only time I have been unable to see Kiss in the UK since 1980. I felt so sorry to have to miss it.... this helps thanks

[@jennytaylor6473]

Yes, same but 18 years since I've been. Ticket prices have gone up so much, its priced me out of going. Still try and watch footage every year to get in the spirit 🍻 😎🤘

[@konnorwatt2497]

Don't worry mate your not the only one I was gutted

[@greenslider]

Same here. This was the donington yearvI really didn't want to miss😢..still have my ticket stub from '88. Prices have gone nuts Remember the days when an ordinary tour concert ticket cost the same as a new Lp..

[@robbrittain9369]

Disappointed that they didn't do more UK dates. Not everyone wants to go to a festival. Other European countries have had more than 1 show. And to think that they say that the UK is their 'spiritual home'. Hmmm..

[@ewanwhite4644]

Download 2022 was my first ever gig/festival. I’ve always wanted to see KISS since I was a little kid. I don’t think there was a moment I wasn’t tearing up or singing out the top of my lungs, just an absolutely phenomenal night and I gladly stayed behind after “God, Gave Rock n’ Roll To You” to let it all soak in. Thank you KISS for letting me fall back in love with rock music after being bullied for it. I’m only on my twenties but you’re never too young to love KISS. 🤘

[@lukeandy15ify]

Never been a big kiss fan but watching them live last night at Download they put on an amazing show. That last half hour was perfection 🤘

[@CrueLoaf]

Trust me. They always put in a good show. I’ve been going to gigs for forty years and they were y best show!

[@AlmostReady504]

They are best experienced after Dark

[@mattjns]

@@CrueLoaf Apart from all that miming bullshit they got caught up in, you’re right. Always a fun time.

[@CrueLoaf]

@@mattjns most area/stadium bands use backing tracks. I don’t mind if it enhances the performance and sound.

[@mattjns]

@@CrueLoaf Oh I’m fine with that. I’m talking about Paul’s miming. Not sure if he’s doing it anymore.

[@therealfrank3gun]

Thanks for sharing. Just saw them for the 51st time in Daytona. No one puts a show on like KISS and if they do, KISS did first! Also everyone feeling sad that its nearing the end, just remember, the Earth is billions of years old and we were alive during KISS!

[@phillipgriffith3045]

I was there also..they still deliver the goods..too darn bad we got stormed out for half of it

[@therealfrank3gun]

@@phillipgriffith3045 yeah , that was a shit show wknd, we were originally scheduled to play Friday but cancelled like a month out. Glad we did . Fri and Sat were bad.

[@brianparker8352]

I loved this montage, thanks so much for posting it. I have been a Kiss fan for 40 years and I think they are amazing. Let the haters hate if they like - I couldn't care less - but love them or hate them, one thing is for sure: no-one can ever do a show like Kiss - they never have, and they never will.

[@neilmartin1335]

There has never been or will ever be another Band that can top KISS!!

You've never seen rammstein apparently

[@rqwec8974]

Rammstein?

[@cypress9619]

Honestly kiss was my favourite performance of the weekend. So glad I got to see them before they stop touring

[@celtcol7]

I was at Donington for a third time, first time since 96 with my son who wanted to go aged 3 at the time, such a friendly atmosphere, was a great day and after seeing them in 2019 in Manchester, I got to say this was the best performance I have ever seen by them

[@amyrussell3066]

Was such an epic show! Oh my god I was so pumped and they did not disappoint. I was gutted to leave a little early so I was over the moon to be able to experience the finale! Dude you edited 2 hours of legendary entertainment into 20mins! Credit to you! You made it a brilliant watch and took me right back to last night. Wish I’d stayed for the whole weekend!

[@viniciusmarcus133]

O saw in Brasil last mouth! Awesome!

[@neilmartin1335]

Thank you!! 👍 I just filmed a few clips on my iPhone. I was too busy singing my head off to film any more!! 😂

[@LRBerry]

I have to admit, when Paul said "We love you we'll never forget you" I got a little emotional. It's at moments like that you realise just how much KISS mean to their fans. I wish I could have been there.

[@kcrknp]

Of course he’ll never forget how his fans made a talentless hack very rich.

[@Bop7324]

If course he loves them. He checked his banking app before strapping on the guitar that probably isn’t even plugged in.

[@CrueLoaf]

@@kcrknp talentless?! He’s been making top selling albums since 1974! Your comment says more about you than it does that man.

I had never seen Kiss until that Friday. They were brilliant! The fact that they're all in their 70's and still playing like this, is just brilliant. Final time they're playing it too. Oustanding!!!!

[@ChrisSztybel]

They’re not all in their 70s. Shows you how little you know .They weren’t brilliant either. All of Paul’s lead vocals are lip synced.

[@emmanouelazanin]

They are still brilliant and rocking, you're right. It's really the end of an era. Also, let the haters hate 🤘

Why on Earth did Eric Singer sing the lyrics to Black Diamond as "Paul Stanley, you know I'm under your thumb" during the song at about the 12:25 mark?? Some problem within the band?

[@mattybutcher5105]

Been a fan for 45 years+, still professional as fuck but I feel the soul of the band just ain't the same with Ace and Peter not present.A little bit like going thru the motions.Now Downingtown '96, that was Kiss at the top of their game, greatest show ever!

[@simonjamesdean2307]

Have to disagree. Peter and Ace have had numerous chances to come back to the band and blew it every time through their unprofessional behaviour. They were even invited on this tour for the last shows but started making all sorts of crazy demands so were told to forget it. Eric and Tommy turn up and nail it at every show - no dramas, no tantrums...they just rock out and deliver. You can get away with being smashed in a club in front of 100 people, but when you have an audience of 15,000 paying £60 a ticket, a more professional approach is needed. Sadly Peter and Ace cannot deliver that.

[@mattjns]

@@simonjamesdean2307 I saw them with Ace years ago. Absolutely sloppy and awful. I appreciate the original lineup legacy, but you’re right. Ace is literally at the bottom of the pile of Kiss guitarists performing live.

[@elcee4556]

@@simonjamesdean2307 Yeah I think they are saying that just to give fans hope that maybe they’ll show up. Also now Paul can’t even deliver. All of the stuff he said about Ace and Peter and now he can’t even do it. His voice has been shot for more than 10 years and now resorts to lip syncing.
