Kiss “EOTR” end of the road stage played instruments and final of MSG December 2, 2023

I just received my delivery of guitars bass and snare drum from the Kiss and the road tour. Most of these items were played for the very last show at Madison Square Garden on December 2, 2023, as well as the rest of the end of the road tour. These are very special to me Being some of the last instruments, Kiss will play in a big concert big tour venue. Everybody makes comments that oh you’re an idiot they’re not done. Well, they may not be done from playing together or doing a show here or there but they are done with the big tours with the big stage shows. Face it Gene is 74 Paul is 70 whatever and then unfortunately none of us live forever. Lots of comments made. It’s nice to be rich and everything else. Well it took me several years to pay for these guitars as I made the deal with Paul and Gene quite some time ago.and I’ve had to work extra hard to be able to add all of these to my collection and being that the last ones I really thought it was important pieces to have. This brings my collection to over 75. Kiss on stage played guitars and bass’. I think it’s important to keep these beautiful pieces of Kisstory together. I am working towards opening a venue to display all of this Kiss collection for other Kiss fans to see and it will be free of charge. I think the fans should be able to see this beautiful stuff up close and enjoy it.

Great collection, thanks for sharing. I did some shows with Kiss on the convention tour with my band Alive. And in Phoenix, the local loaders didn’t show so we got hired to help set up the displays. I got to play Paul’s original 79 cracked mirror iceman, his 70’s black Flying V and I also set up Peter’s mirrored Alive kit that day. I was in fan heaven. Thanks for sharing your stuff, amazing!

Wow. Amazing collection. Money comes and money goes but your treasures will hopefully be with you forever. You are a blessed man. I guess now you will have to find other ways to add to your collection.

Hi Gino love the collection brother

[@user-pq7qv3iv6e]

Very cool guitars ... I have the first, heavily-toured, purple rhinestone and a stage-played gold cracked mirror. Love them!

[@johnnyjohns3863]

Wow! Incredible Collection! Really cool video! Thanks for sharing with us. And I agree that having them sign the back is a great idea. That way they write a cool message and it doesn't mess up the beautiful display of the guitar 👊😎

[@Darth.Shredder]

Wow! What a haul!! Impressive. I agree about getting autographs on the backs of the guitars. That being said, I don't know you or your background but this makes me think about all those people who win Lotto and end up broke. :)

[@SuperDolemite1]

thanks for letting us see your awesome collection really appreciate it

[@peterrigali5449]

Thanks for sharing Gino! I figured those would end up in a private collection never to be seen again. So interesting to see them up close and see the little modifications that Paul has done to them (swapping to harmonica style bridges and drilling holes in the 2nd volume control of the V).

[@KissRemastersFilms]

Wow incredible! Thanks for sharing.

What a collection! Thank you! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘👏👏👏👏

[@RRW276]

Wow! Gene uses Wilkinson tuners on that bass, so awesome and good to know!!

[@leokimvideo]

What's interesting is Paul had done a amazing guitar collection video on the Gibson YT channel. He shows off some incredibly rare and important early era Kiss guitars and speaks of the high peg 'collectors'. I'm sort of thinking I'm seeing a fantastic connection here. One thing that's clear with Paul is if you suggest a really silly price he's going to consider it. Pauls learned lots from Gene.

[@markusmerbach8516]

awesome collection-thanks for sharing!

[@johnpatterson4272]

Well lubejob you've done the final Kisstory proud. The green rhinestone guitar my wife noticed on the PPV. Interesting how Paul and Gene decided not to covet these soon to be legendary guitars in their own collections.

How much did these beautiful babies run you they are so nice Kiss rocks

[@nmhcustoms8224]

WOW, you must be a billionaire, congrats

[@MrCoolTre]

Wouldn’t less than a million buy this? I will say I’ve always had a theory those who haven’t dealt with money much can’t tell the difference between a billion and a million lol…

[@glengamble526]

He’s probably a hard working guy who was smart and made some serious cash-and he spends some of it on Kiss stuff. I say ‘great’…if it makes him happy, why not? Some pretty cool shit, too! I believe he owns Peter’s ROCK AND ROLL OVER kit too. Last I heard, Joe Marshall owned it?

[@auntjenifer7774]

Those are only $5,000-$10,000 a piece so it's under $100,000

[@erockscott1184]

I'm surprised Paul And Gene don't keep these...????. Its their history they are selling off...must be just business to them.

[@MrCoolTre]

@@erockscott1184 totally agreed. Makes even less sense when you consider a few thousand dollars to someone who has $10+ million (I’m sure it’s way more) is the equivalent of like a dollar to any normal person.

[@GerryBlue]

Nice guitars, love the Purple Iceman especially, congrats

[@gilbertobressanjr4010]

Ur a legend! Maybe someday you’ll open a Museum. The vintage gear you have is absolutely gold

[@Danny-sd5vm]

Thanks for sharing this collection with the world. I know that there's a large percentage of people that think KISS is a corny band or it's all about the money. None of that matters because KISS is your band. If these guitars were autographed by the members of Guns and Roses there'd be people that would still love and hate that collection. The only thing that matters is the opinion of the person spending his/her money to purchase the collection.

[@ozzyozzy2207]

Very cool

[@voyxu143]

Important pieces to archive that's for sure. Cheers!!!

[@damienazrael5681]

Very cool. I was at the last two shows at MSG as well. Just giving you some info on the Gibson V. I worked at the Gibson Custom Shop for about 2 years and the stuff you found in the case were the original pickups it was wired with (Most likely Gibson 490 and 498) and the “V” as you put it is what the strings go through on the top of the body. All the rhinestones and other modifications were done after it left the building. Regular production models come with gold hardware and I remember when I was working there we sent him I think 2 that had the chrome hardware that’s in the case

[@lubejobs42]

That’s awesome thank you

[@damienazrael5681]

@@lubejobs42 anytime… I’m a gear nut and collect KISS guitars too… did the Gene meet and greet in Nashville

[@LunchboxMods]

I assume that V had the pickups swapped to pauls usual Seymour duncan custom 5 in the bridge and seymour duncan 59 in the neck. I have the same setup in one of my guitars. Killer combo.

Amazing collection.. every fans dream collection. Love that not only did you get to buy some of Pauls but you bought Gene's Bass and Eric's drum. I have to laugh at the back round commercial.. "Only $29.98!" ha we all know you paid much more than that for them..ha.

Awesome collection!!! Do you have a link to the guitar display stands that you use that you can pass on? I would like to purchase a few of those stands myself. Thank you.

[@RRW276]

I bet you were as nervous as anyone could possibly be with those during shipping. Because how can you insure something that is literally irreplaceable? Thanks for showing us the guitars, they are beautiful and I'd like to know more about the first silver cracked mirror - how old and from what tour? It looks like one of Paul's very early Icemans.

[@cancelbubble6535]

Amazing collection, do you have any of Paul's BC Rich guitars from the 80s or is it all "modern" stuff? What's your favorite piece? The hand etching on that drum is pretty spectacular.

[@Lymanization]

Oh dude!😮

[@tradewinds-wb4kn]

Beautiful. But my armed bodyguard inside the room would be doing the video taping. Not the armed guard outside the room.

Im pretty sure the flying v is a guitar that was documented on the Troglys Guitar show here on youtube. Obviously before it got Pauled.

[@user-jf2lw9ft7c]

Hey Gino, I am happy that Paul signed all the dam guitars that you got from him, But I got a question for you. Do you know how to play any of them? Do you know how the Iceman came to be? Do really know how strong the pickup are on the guitar? News flash I know the person that does Paul's guitars and design them and he is making a few for me. I sure hope you know how to play beside from them sitting there collecting dust.

How come no EOTR Tommy Thayer stuff from the last shows?

[@lubejobs42]

I’ve been trying to buy his rocket launcher V, but Tommy really doesn’t sell anything, except for the one time played guitars

[@LaMarrBrewster]

Awesome stuff. I love seeing it together. It seems like Paul is not sentimental about his stage instruments vs the other guys. Does that have any bearing on what you try to collect?

Whatt was the price of all.this stuff ?

[@Davo2233]
