My thoughts on the KISS PPV, The Final Show, and The Avatars. My KISSmas gifts.

[@evileyes4070]

I been a Kiss fan since 1980. The last concert was a kick in the eye to alot of Kisstards. Should of had a shout out to the ex members

[@rexsmetzer]

I pretty much agree with you Brant!! Pretty much a blah for their final show!!! Very, very, very disappointed!!! 😭😭😭

[@ThomDust]

The Pop figure is glorious! Props to your wife for such a thoughtful gift. Happy New Year Brant🤘

[@InMyHead]

Thanks man. I love it. You will see more of him!

[@johnoliver189]

Wished they would’ve had a tribute show of the KISS inception and history instead of cartoons.

[@jerseyjoe1677]

Looking forward to your videos I like them they relax me

[@vanderhoff66fu]

Im glad i didn't pay for PPV. I've seen kiss over 35 times in concert and i knew this would be the same old show. Nothing on this night was different to make it the final show.

[@ShiftaelV2]

I couldn't even believe that ppl on the KISS subReddit were actually complaining about the $40, personally I was shocked it was so cheap!! I was like even PPV's in the 90's were more expensive than $40!

Hello Brant, it's very nice to see you healthy again in one of your videos.👍🤘 All the best for 2024 to you and everyone who is watching or reading here.👍🤘 I don’t like the virtual crap band, but younger fans (I am 55 by the way) might do….especially when they’re not longtime Kiss-Fans and don’t know about the history of the band. My thoughts about the final show: 1. What a shame! a) no word about the great Eric Carr (RiP) and Mark St. John (RiP) b) no word about founding members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss c) no word about Bruce Kulick and Vinie Vincent. But performing songs that were written by Ace or Vinie is ok for Paul and Gene!?!?🙄🤔😎💰 2. It was a “normal show”, like the last 100 or 200 shows they did with that lineup. Nothing really special. 3. No respect to the former members by Paul and Gene at all. The money is the most important thing for them…💲💰 and it seems to me that Paul is the person who wanted most to keep the former band members out of the final program. A very unworthy farewell of “the hottest band in the world”! I am very angry about this disastrous behavior! I'll come back to the Kiss avatars in another statement... Keep on rocking and greetings from Germany...🤘👍🎸

[@scottysky755]

I definitely believe if Ace and Peter would have been involved all of these events would have sold out . A lot of the hard core fans were waiting just for that and it didn’t happen,so you have empty seats .

[@slurrygod]

Its Shannon not Sharon lol....i agree with you about the production and the interviews. Didnt care for Chris Angel at all. Question though, at your retirement party do you expect the guy that hired you and all the guys you worked with through fifty years will be there ? Do you want them there ? Will you want all your family members there ? It would be rare that anyone even worked at the same job for 50 years and you could use the same analogy with marriages. Yes we have to have our own thoughts but we have to keep an open mind. There is nobrules or restrictions when it comes to the Avatars. Im glad they're not rolling it out until its perfected.. Anyway always enjoy the show and hope you had a merry Christmas and great 2024 . The Funko was super cool

[@InMyHead]

My retirement party would be about me and yes it would be awesome to see people I had worked with. But this retirement from the band was supposed to be about the fans. That’s all they ever say that everything is for the fans when in fact it’s not for the fans, it’s for them and their egos and love of money and fame. So there is that. They gave the fans the ending they ( Gene and Paul ) wanted. But we got what we got and I appreciate it. It was a good run for them. 50 years. Most bands never make that. Thanks for watching !

[@Stryper101]

You had said that you already said goodbye to Kiss during the 2000 Farewell Tour. What made you change your mind and go to the End of the Road Tour?

[@InMyHead]

I went basically to see the guys I have been doing podcasts with.

[@Stryper101]

@@InMyHead oh I see. You know on my way to see the Scorpions last year with Ralph Viera (Almost Human) I told him that of all prominent Kiss fans that I know of you were the one that went to the 2000 Farewell Tour and then that’s it, I had told him that in a way I also wished I hadn’t seen them again after 2000. -But when I saw them in September last year in West Palm Beach I enjoyed the party aspect of going to concerts for the first time aside from seeing the concert that I was going to. I really had fun interacting with a girl there. So I’m glad I went. I’m glad you had fun with your friends at your final Kiss show.

[@scottysky755]

Don’t forget Donna summer lol her hit song funded Casablanca to push KISS .

[@Flapperdame16]

😊 cool pop funko Brant!!!!!

[@vanderhoff66fu]

I agree with everything you said

[@Rigosson]

Thank`s for your thoughts about the Avatars, Brant!👍👍 1. I don´t like this Kiss-Avatars 🤢🤮 2. I will not pay any Dollar or better said Euro for watchig it! But I think there is a market for a show like this. If people like me ( I am 55 by the way) like it or not is a different story! Younger people/fans possibly like it. Money is wastet for a lot of stupid things on our planet. 200 Million Dollars investment is a lot of money - There is no doubt about that. But Gene and Paul (100 Million each) have money enaugh to invest in this Avatar-project. Example: Selling over some years 10 Million Tickets X 25 Dollars = 250 Million Dollars + merchandise-profit - costs could generate profit in maybe 5 years........ Gene and Paul Thanley of Kith are all about the money💰💸............no news! But I don´t think they have real friends - and they turn 83/84 in 10 years........and if they will have then 50 Million Dollars more.....who cares.....they will die with a lot of money........RiP KISS / PISS / KITH......... Conclusion: What's left for fans of the Original 4? There are many memories of great moments from the past (great albums and especially concerts) and memorabilia, etc... And channels like yours here, Brant - a channel that brings Kiss fans together and invites them to share discussions and relive great moments/albums from the past, etc.👍👍 Of course, we are also looking further into the future. I can hardly wait to hear Ace Frehley's new album 10000 Volts, which will be released in February...maybe we'll see a review of it...maybe with Carla, Ralph, Nina ...... Thank you very much for that in advance!👍🤘 Keep on rocking and greetings from Germany🤘👍🎸

Kiss fans are the most gullable fans of any band. They would buy used toilet paper from them if it were for sale, the worst part is they are lied to and treated like dirt in return.

[@rickr2029]

No it's not one size fits all. I wouldn't see them if they were playing in my backyard. I don't like what they've become but love what they did in the 70's

[@Flapperdame16]

Yes Brant! The interviewer was just awful, she wasn't authentic. I do wish Bruce was there, even if he didn't perform, at least in the audience. It would have been a fun idea. Peter had the best response. Time has been kind to the catman. Desmond Child, when I was little, I only thought he was a song writer, seeing his name on tons of co writes: Kiss, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, etc- to know he actually is a singer himself blew my mind. Chris Angel, PAUL'S invite probably. They two are "such great friends" apparently. It was so awkward after the show. Tommy was in a robe- NO. NO. Shannon did look buzzed. I am not on board with computer graphic video game characters move around to studio recorded tracks. YES KEY WORD HUMAN BEINGS. Music is made by humans for humans reaching out to each other for human connection. Audience looking to feel connected, band/ artist looking to reach out. That being said would I shell out $300 to watch an avatars concert- no. The reason for justifying paying so much money is Oh, I'm seeing the band! Gene, Paul, any combo of the others for 50 years; that has been the reason.

[@Rex-oy4ud]

After all the bs that kiss put fans from Canada as well as knoxville tn. I am no longer a fan. the absolute disrespect that they have shown, proves its only about the money. So, they can kiss my 🫏. But, for those who still love 'em keep on rockin'.
