KISS Leaves the Stage…To Their Avatars

Digital Trends

Performing their final in-person concert on Saturday night at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Kiss used the encore to unveil digital avatars of themselves that will allow the legendary glam-rock band to stay on the road.

The avatars nailed God Gave Rock and Roll to You, opening up the possibility of future generations of Kiss fans being able to enjoy the American rockers’ music in concert arenas. More

Yeah, I can see now, the KISS Theater at Branson, the KISS pavilion at all Disney properties and performing nightly at Six Flags everywhere. They’re going to regret this. – Dr. Tar

  1. Fleetwood Mac hired a bunch of kids to complain as them instead. Is that better or worse?

    Either way, there comes a time you have to admit you’re too old for this shit.

    But they wouldn’t have to WORRY about a legacy act if the kids would come up with something original.

    Which this generation seems incapable of.

    In anything.

  2. “You loved us when the band was hot.
    And now we’re gonna give it one more shot.
    We’re gettin’ old,
    We must be crazy.

    We’re puttin’ on the makeup again.
    It covers up a buncha wrinkled skin.
    You bring the bread,
    We’ll make the gravy.

    You keep on standin’,
    We’ll keep on singin.

    I used to rock and roll all night
    But now my hair’s turning gray.
    I have to get to bed by nine,
    Rub on a tube of Ben-Gay.

    Haven’t picked up my guitar for a while,
    Not since them hula-hoops went outta style.
    It’s been a while,
    I’m pretty rusty.

    We’ll give you everything we got.
    Would you like to see my liver spots?
    You drive us home if we get sleepy.
    If the shirts keep on sellin’,
    We’ll keep on yellin’

    I used to rock and roll all night
    But now my hair’s turning gray.
    I have to get to bed by nine,
    Rub in a tube of Ben-Gay.

    I wanna rock and roll all night
    But I can’t stay awake
    I’d like to rock and roll all night
    But then my body would ache.
    I’ll try to rock and roll all night,
    If there’s some dough to be made
    I wanna rock and roll all night,
    But I get drowsy by eight.

  3. The only one with talent was Paul Stanley.

    Ace had to be taught his guitar licks.

    The Drummer (any of them) was Basic.

    and

    Gene would/will sell his own shit to people if Amazon was willing to ship it. (probably has not occurred to him yet)

  4. I’ve never been convinced that Gene was actually playing the bass. I’ve watched lots of video; amidst all the theatrics and posturing, it’s hard to tell.

    In other news: Myles Goodwyn passed away yesterday. He was a founding member, guitarist, frontman for April Wine. One my favorite bands – saw them open many times for others.

  5. I remember when they took their makeup off back in the early/mid 80’s… My Mom made the comment “Oh… That explains everything. They look better with the makeup on!”
