[@davedownunder5056]

Thank so much KISS . You have given me and countless fans many years of awesome entertainment. First seen (me)1980 - Last seen 2023.

[@KrowVentures667]

You can tell they definitely love touring, people have to understand that they’re in their 70s, gene Simmons is literally 74, they’re getting older and can’t keep touring to several places around the world with heavy attire and all the moving around and standing for hours, like they’re still killing it and still are amazing but they’ve been doing this for YEARS and they’re getting older. I think this is an awesome project they’re working on to keep their band alive and I do get it isn’t the same as them being there in person but you really have to understand they’re in their 70s, sure they’re still doing awesome performances at their age now but they can’t keep doing that forever. The graphics and quality of their digitized selves are amazing, and you can see their characters come to life which I think is super super cool. I just went to their end of the world tour and it was my first concert ever seeing them live and I thought it would be the last but now I can look forward to their new era! Sure it isn’t them in person but it still looks so awesome either way! I hope some people think the same😅 Also to add to the people who are talking about some of them just wanting more money, I’m not caught up on celebrity drama and if there is something I’m missing but, this whole project and how well done it is and how REAL these digitized versions of them looks and just everything getting put into it must have costed thousands to do this and it’s all for their fans so I mean 🤷‍♀️

[@mbabcock111]

I sure hope Gene and Paul allow the KISS phenomenon to carry on beyond their individual stage presence. The beauty of the makeup, costumes and stage show has effectively transcended the original four. If Gene and Paul really care about the fans they will let Tommy, Eric and new members carry the torch for the Army. Imagine the year is 2323 and KISS travels to Mars for some shows.

I'm 47 years old, I'm the biggest kiss fan(have tattoo to prove it) I just saw a mediocre kiss tribute band in October (had a blast) my 2 sons are 21 and 19 I bought them tickets to the Chicago show because they love kiss and I wanted them enlisted into the army....I never been on an airplane in my whole life because I'm terrified of flying but I would risk it just to see this new Era of kiss. And if the plane went down poetically I think I would be okay with that.

[@sanfranman4919]

I don't know how they expect this to work. Will they try to actually have an Avatar Kiss concert, in an actual venue?? Count me out for sure of paying $250 for that!!! What's the thinking?

[@pnwrocker1965]

Exactly, most Kiss fans are old like me. We're not into avatars. And they have no new material to attract another generation.

[@timjaeger6589]

I mean it’s working insanely well for ABBA right now. Their Voyage avatar show regularly sells out. I guess Gene and Paul wanted a piece of that action.

Abba is crushing it with the avatar concept. Kudos to Kiss for preserving something for future fans. The possibilities are endless. If older fans don't like the concept, by all means, don't go. You can always catch Ace playing outside the unemployment office for change. But Kiss has built a legacy out of developing entertainment that simple minds disregard out of hand. The more I see "new era" haters, the more I know Kiss is, again, ahead of the curve.

@@thefonzkiss You'd rather listen to them panting off key? The millions of collisions their vocal chords have to have sustained a massive amount of damage at this point. Imagine trying to play with 70 year old rubber bands. It's unbelievable how ungrateful fans are to our aging entertainers. I witnessed an 80 year old BB King being boo'ed, which was unbelievable. Meanwhile they managed to figure out a way to still bring you a show as they moved into their 70s and you're still unhappy. Honesty, it's disgraceful. You have to be young or dead to be appreciated.

[@thefonzkiss]

@@skepchica what an asinine argument. If they’re not up to it then they shouldn’t tour, and especially not tour charging more money than ever to see them. How’s that? They don’t need the money. No one is forcing them to tour. They already did their Farewell Tour in 2000/2001 anyway. They’ve also spent decades denigrating other bands who lipsynch and rip off the fans. Gene said that anyone who lipsynches needs to put it on the ticket as a disclaimer. Then they do the End of the Road cashgrab tour 2019-2023 with Paul faking his vocals every single night and somehow that’s okay? Talk about hypocrisy. They also said in every interview promoting the tour for five years that they’re “never sounding better” and “in the shape of our lives” and they’re faking the vocals. That’s okay to you as well? Once upon a time the KISS taglines “you wanted the best you got the best” and “accept no substitutes” actually meant something.
