Being a 55 year old fan,I'm just not into avatars. I was really hoping for the band to endorse 4 cover band members to carry on the legacy of the glory years(70s) and do it live and real. Still thankful for what they gave us.

This. Why not pass the torch to musicians they feel are worth it?... I'd much rather see that than some Second Life avatars that look uncanny as hell.

@MetalHeart8787 7 ай бұрын

It would just be a cover Band, theres already many of them, just that a new one would / could use the Name KISS. I don't see how or why people would go see just Avatars / images of Kiss on Stage, is that what they are planning? Just Record a damn New Album

Not everything lasts forever, KISS will eventually die out but it’s better to know that this era of rock existed than continuing to pass on the torch and the entire thing becoming wack

This is so so cool ! There's no other band in the history of music who fits better than Kiss in this way ... As SUPER HEROES ! It could be the most spectacular concert ever seen ... My personal dream and idea is to see a Kiss avatar concert at the Sphere in Las Vegas,it would be so cool ... ON THE OTHER WAY,when other giant bands like Rolling Stones,ACDC,Metallica etc won't be anymore ...they will be missed and then people would love to see them live as avatars ...and this is why those who judge Kiss are wrong,in my opinion

@IrisCorven 8 ай бұрын

Can't wait for the eventual 4-hour KISS documentary where they talk with people who've worked with them over the years, and how they went from the biggest band in the world to a bunch of money grubbing douchebags later in life, utterly shitting on the legacy they'd have if they just let it go when they decided it was done.

It all a money grab. I used to be a huge fan and saw them in 1976 on their Destroyer tour. One great concert. But now I'm just embarrassed to say I was a Kiss fan. Without Ace and Peter they are nothing but a cover and or a tribute band. This is truly sad for us Kiss fans from way back when. I absolutely would not go see this pile of sh-- if it was showing in my back yard. Gene and Paul have milked that cash cow for seems like 100 years now. How much money does these two really need to justify stealing the money from the old fans that put them where they are. So very vary SAD!!! They need to change their name from Kiss to "The Thieves" .At least Jesse James used a gun to rob people. 😳😳😳
