Aussie living in Canada here. Watching this literally brought a tear to my eye. After years of useless pre-game and half-time entertainment, the AFL has finally got their act together and brought a truly exciting live act to the Grand Final. Finally, AFL grand final goers have got their money's worth. No politics, no BS. Just a good live show. Reading the comments, I can see a few Americans commending Kiss's performance and saying they wish they had Kiss at a Super Bowl. Man, how humbling is that! I'm so glad everyone got to enjoy this.

Hotter than Hell was I thought a pretty good album but the production on that album could have been better. I don't like Destroyer as much as those KISS albums as it's too polished for me due to Bob Ezrin production role on that album. I liked some of their post makeup albums a lot in the - Lick it up, & Animalize albums. Creatures of The Night was a good strong solid album from them that deserved the commercial success it didn't get in my humble opinion.

Whether Brisbane got a free kick or not, does not mean that Brisbane would have won. Did you not see Collingwood kicked a goal almost immediately after Brisbane goal, several times in the last quarter. Now THAT is proving that Collingwood deserved the win. Collingwood led at the end of every quarter. It was a hard fought game by both sides. Both teams had their mistakes. Both teams had missed opportunities. Both teams had decisions that went against them. The better team won on the day. Deal with it.

Superbowl makes you lipsync

[@stely_official]

watching this 7 months later, still gives me chills, my favourite band as a kid playing at the grand final that my team won, and only now hearing the Magpie Army and Lions Den calls in Shout It Out Loud, chilling that their last ever performance in melbourne was for something like this!

who knew KISS was so family friendly, the ending was FANtastic with all the kids

Brilliant and well done Kiss ! It's one of the best live shows put on for the world 🌍 to have witnessed. I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish, you have done the AFL proud! Please come back again!

Probably the best afl Grand Final pre game performance kiss are legends!!!!❤ stilll rocking on!!!!🤘🏾

Wow. Never been a huge KISS fan but geez Louise was that a top notch performance, with more energy than guys half their age. So great to see the whole stadium pumped and singing together!

[@smjordan4272]

The greatest BAND ever... we wanted the best and we certainly got the best!!! ❤ One of the finest pre-game AFL entertainment... what an awesome opening to such an iconic event. 👏 My husband and I are the biggest fans of theirs, and we cannot wait to see them in Sydney. What an honour to be able to watch them on stage one last time. A huge Kudos to true legends!!! 👏👏👏

It was incredible I remember in 2015 I saw them live in Brisbane a the Entertainment Centre I got VIP Backstage pass and when I say Gene walking pass I was like holy crap how tall are those boots will never forget it. Sad that this is their last Australian show

[@adamimberti6948]

The vocals and bass are a track and I'm pretty sure the guitars are as well. Edit: The drums are a track too.

[@rydermckenzie3524]

@@adamimberti6948How do you know?

[@adamimberti6948]

@@rydermckenzie3524 There are several moments where what they're "playing" live isn't on the track and/or they forget to mime parts that are on the track. At 7:40 Eric plays two notes on his snare that aren't on the track and at 9:18 when Gene sings crazy he clearly cuts it off well before the note ends on the vocal track. There's a bunch of other examples but those are two of the more obvious ones.

Dreadful performance

Saw them in Atlanta in April, 2019. It is my first and only time to see them and they were Awesome! Sure wish I had seen them in their heydays. They sure did upstage every halftime shows during all those Superbowls here in the U. S.

[@lostinspace699]

Nice double kick drums and single kick is only used waring wigs , singing with autotune and baking track .. Karnivool would have blown them off the park should have had Australian band ,

[@filipedamaroubra]

Last year I took my 3 years old daughter to the Kiss concert here in Sydney and she was amused… always asking to go again, and here we go again lucky girl 😃 she will never forget it 7th Oct Sydney

[@triplej8666]

Not autotune, rather lip synced to a pre recorded track. This is standard procedure at these stadium sport pre game and half time shows. Too much risk for the business of the sport if they have another mess up like Meat Loaf in 2011 AFL Final. Safer to mime it. But then again the track sounds awful, the way the vocals are tuned is terrible. Gene can sing this song perfectly well just 6 months ago, it just pains me that they have to lip sync it when he's capable of singing it live fine.
