Kiss 1 Journey 0

[Glenn]

Those are really big. Sorry. I will try and make them smaller.

No need! these pics are great! Nice work Kel!

[X factor]

My gosh, KISS has 30 songs you should instantly recognize!!!!!!!!!

no no no
when your walls come down
burn witch burn
ive had enough, into the fire
danger
love in chains
you matter to me
moon over brooklyn
while the city sleeps
murder in high heels
im in need of love
tossin and turnin
love theme
dirty livin
street givith, street taketh away
read my body(is my letter big enough)
betrayed
parylized
hate
let me rock you
i finally found my way
in your face
send in the clowns

Strangely enough, Lar, I recognize ALL of these!

(btw- Love in chains, I'm in need of love and Dirty Living all kick ass!)

And even though me and the Kiss Army fellow have butted heads a time or two on the KISS board, he's spot on with his comments.

Set list from Toronto (and I assume Montreal)

SET LIST:

King Of The Night Time World
Deuce
Got To Choose
Modern Day Delilah
Hotter Than Hell
I Stole Your Love
C'mon And Love Me
Parasite
She
Watchin' You
100,000 Years
I Love It Loud
Black Diamond
Rock And Roll All Nite

Encore:

Shout It Out Loud
Lick It Up
Let Me Go, Rock And Roll
Cold Gin
Love Gun
Detroit Rock City

Excellent show in CT last night. Same setlist except no "Cold Gin". I'll be seeing them Monday night in Boston.
Paul's voice is fine. If you're there to analyze if every note Paul sings is at 100% then you might as well stay home.
The people at the sold out show last night had a blast.

god that makeup looks retarded on sixty year old men

You sound jealous. It doesn't suit you.

I thought it was funny in the interview where Paul and Tommy are talking about the different tracks on the new CD that Paul said that people that find KISS "corny" are usually bitter, unsatisfied people.

Stanley actually makes a good point there. It wasn't, if I interpreted right, that he said people who necessarily find KISS corny, but the sort of positive, you can climb any mountain attitude in the SONGS corny we the bitter, unsatisfied folk. I'm inclined to agree with him.

[X factor]

So not liking the Reuters interview with Stanley I read today. A couple of troubling items:

1- He indicated that "Delilah" will be the only new tune they'll play on tour. REALLY dissapointing, as I think a number of these new tunes would sound great live (particularly some of Gene's songs.)

2- He also indicated that the tour may not go past December. What about this so-called FAN ROUTED tour? Two cities in very close proximity to me finished in the top 30 of the fan votes and NEITHER are on the tour schedule. Makes me wonder, also, from seeing them on Letterman the other night if maybe his voice is going. The band was tight but vocally, he sounded like ass. Perhaps they want to cut things short??

[Zedul]

Z, should they take the make up off then ?

The Fans don't want that.

I could give you a list of bands still around today that are trying to milk every last $$ from the 80's (and 70's) that look "retarded" now.


and by the way, only one member of KISS is in their 60's and that's Gene, who turned 60 in August.

Yea the makeup "sags" it's all wrinkly and creviced and looks terrible.

Use to be a HUGE Kiss fan when I was a kid but very few of their songs aged well for me... and in general everything about them has gotten on my nerves through the years except for Paul Stanley's voice which I always found excellent.

Seriously I thought their pinnacle was when they were out of makeup and did that unplugged concert - that was awesome and made me like Kiss again but as soon as they started trying to make believe it was the 70's again they lost me.

Every once in awhile it would be ok... kinda like throwback football uniforms, but a steady diet of it is just.... blech.

I also don't think David Bowie should dress like a woman anymore... nor do I think Ozzy should keep doing drugs. Some things just need to be let go man...

As to the "you sound jealous" comment, meh, the answer to that is that you couldn't pay me enough money to switch places with any one of those dudes.

No if I had to choose a talent - I'd want to write like Capote, or direct movies like Fellini, or compose music like Morricone. Those are the guys that make me jealous - not old glam metal dudes who dress like scary transvestite cartoon characters.

Do you have a link for the interview?

What I thought I read earlier was they were only doing Delilah for now because this was still the end of the Alive 35 Tour. And it sounded like it would/could then extend into the Sonic Boom tour.

I wonder if there has been a change in plans?

Kinda what I thought too, but here's an excerpt:

HOW MANY OF THE NEW SONGS WILL YOU PLAY ON THE TOUR?

... We'll play "Modern Day Delilah" because that's on the radio.

AND THAT'S IT?

That's it. Again, what do we take out? C'mon and Love Me? Love Gun? Shout It Out Loud? God of Thunder? Firehouse? Deuce? Strutter? What do we take out?


He mentions earlier that the ALIVE 35 will just sort of morph into SONIC BOOM.

Then there's this comment, which I couldn't disagree MORE with:
EVERYONE KNOWS THOSE. BUT WOULD YOU GO DEEP, DEEP INTO THE CATALOG AND PLAY OBSCURE STUFF?

I'm a big believer that the reason certain songs are obscure is because they deserve to be. That's why they're obscure. They're obscure because the general public didn't embrace them. I remember going to see the Stones one night where the big draw was that they were playing the more obscure stuff. You sat there and went, I kinda know why this stuff's obscure. Let me hear "Honky Tonk Women," let me hear "Jumpin' Jack Flash." Let me hear "Start Me Up." Let me hear the stuff I wanna hear. This is the stuff that I skipped over on the album, why would I wanna pay to hear it now?

Yet he did MAGIC TOUCH, A MILLION TO ONE, etc on his solo tour...seems a bit of a contradiction to me.
