Man that's a slap in the face to fans! I'm shocked that they ended the concert like that. Glad I kept my $$! I get this game I'm wanting. Best of luck to them, but I just lost respect for them after that! Sad....
Agree...the band should have come back and basked in the glory of a 10 minute standing ovation for their 50 amazing years. Naw, they can't help themselves to sell more stuff. The whole ending is embarrassing.
Jesus H Christ. If it's going to end, then let it end FFS. Despite what Gene and Paul might think, the fans DO care who's under the make up. It's KISS, not Cirque du Soleil.
Exactly. They've been heading this way for years: replacing real members with pathetic duplicates, it was only time that they just had automatons for everyone.... sorta like McDonald's employees: fire one, put another in the same uniform, hire him....
I absolutely *love* that they used their “last show” to plug their next thing lol. We’re so far beyond dignity at this point, why not dude? It’s pitch perfect if you stop and think about it…I don’t think it could’ve been any other way.
@ekap9440 it cheapens any sentimental aspect of the show though. Everyone in the crowd thought this was the last time they'd see anything about kiss live, so to plug some bad cgi product right at the end is disrespectful to that.
@@ekap9440Your exactly the kind of simple Gene and Paul target, 'cause they know you will throw all your money at them. I wonder how much someone like you would pay for a jar with Paul's fart in it.
A lot of people who were at the last show have stated they didn't notice the hologram screens. Probably shell-shocked by the AI avatar announcement which has already died on the operating table for KISS Fandom. I would pay good money to see a living, breathing KISS 2.0 on a full stage playing KISS songs I've never heard live before. I would pass on a $10 ticket to watch a glorified video game at the local movie theatre on a Sunday afternoon.
$10??.... They are going to charge alot more than that! They will announce a world tour of this, arenas and stadiums. Not movie theatres. Just wait and see. And gullible people will pay the asking price, and pretend they've seen KISS. Wait for the world tour announcement 😂
KISS Life'er here. Cool idea but in retrospect, I kinda prefer the idea of bringing in new living members to keep the KISS characters alive vs. Avatars, which we now know is where they're going. They said it themselves....Many people have played Superman but it's always still Superman. So bring in some fresh new talent to dawn the characters and keep KISS going (new material, new stages, new experience etc.). Might have to start over in a sense but cooler than Avatars...My 2-cents
They can control the Avatars better than two new members. If the two new members don't work out where do you go from there. Keep in mind the trouble they've had in the past with humans.
I was there tonight, flew in for the show and I did not imagine that it would be this I thought they were going to replace themselves with other people which was already out there but this is something else all together, I am in shock!!!!
I liked the idea of having another band in the kiss make up, maybe with Tommy and Eric. But just make it be music and the show, won’t be as high attendance but could be something that still works
This is so fucking cool ! There's no other band in the history of music who fits better than Kiss in this way ... As SUPER HEROES ! My personal dream and idea is to see a Kiss avatar concert at the Sphere in Las Vegas,it would be so cool ...
Nope. Digital fake Ace playing on top of a song that Bruce played on? Unethical and fucked up. Won’t spend a penny on anything Kiss related from now on.
Look at the audience. Bored. Not fascinated. Bored. Watching live music in a bad sounding venue on a big screen tv is one thing and it's amazing people will pay money to experience it. But to ONLY watch TV in a bad sounding venue? As usual, Kiss highly overestimates their role in history and the wow-factor of their shows. Their show is quiet antiquated, seeming out-of-date with what's going on with other shows. Rest on your laurels, guys. You've earned it.
They were the first to see this. They were in shock. Its a feeling when you dont expect what your are expecting. KISS is the only band that can pull this off!!
The new era isn't for me. I would feel like I'm watching scooby doo. Nothing can replace a live KISS show. It's going to completely ruin the legacy. Sad.
This is so fucking cool ! There's no other band in the history of music who fits better than Kiss in this way ... As SUPER HEROES ! My personal dream and idea is to see a Kiss avatar concert at the Sphere in Las Vegas,it would be so cool ...

@@user-ko7qz1lr8mimagine a KISS residency at the Sphere and they don't even have to appear. 😂 Other artists that have to go on stage every night week after week month after month be jealous as hell 😅
The guy that made the Slim Shady avatar for Fortnite must of got confused with dropping the Kiss ones for the new era instead of the game. All I was thinking of was sniping with Demon while flying in the air.
Some people say they won't go and see it but when it comes out, many people will be curious at least initially cause it's still KISS related. Of course we want the real thing and live concerts but anything KISS does draws in fans and crowds.🤟🎸
So far I seen people are mixed. I’m excited. I seen them when they were at Palm Desert. However I hope this doesn’t suck. The designs look cool and I hope we get a good video game too that doesn’t suck.
Sorry....although I love Kiss, I won't EVER spend money going to these fake shows, enjoyed finally getting to see them for the first time a few years ago and I cherished every minute but this is just too fake for me and would rather relive in my memory and videos that I recorded from the REAL deal! Thank you Kiss for all of the great decades of music and shows!
It is just set to their original music and why did they make avatars of Eric singer and Tommy Thayer ? It's clear they wanted to get out what started it all the makeup the original kiss Tommy Thayer and Eric singer I started listening to him in 1977 Tommy Thayer and Eric singer were not in the original lineup so why are they featured they should for this generation and the original generation of Kiss maybe do both in other words when people pay for this they have the option of what lineup they want to watch and if that's the case why didn't they do a non makeup Avatar and what's the deal about them leaving out Eric Carr there have been too many musicians and good they may be but it's not kiss so when speaking of the band KISS there's only one lineup Ace Frehley Peter Criss Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley but it's become a Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley multimillion-dollar business and that's why they keep replacing and keep having all these musicians it's just a business at this point and I believe that this was done in Avatar for the Simmons and Stanley Dynasty to keep making money that's all why not just put on a record or CD to hear the original music
This is so fucking cool ! There's no other band in the history of music who fits better than Kiss in this way ... As SUPER HEROES ! My personal dream and idea is to see a Kiss avatar concert at the Sphere in Las Vegas,it would be so cool ...
The live concert experience has always been about the emotional human connection between artists and the audience and the excitement created in that particular setting. Kiss has become mediocre as musicians, in the sense that they have relied on past accomplishments to carry themselves forward. Marketing is their forte..BYE THIS IS PISS !
Copied this from Abba like they copied Symphony from Metallica, actaully Ive been a huge Kiss fan since 1979 , would I go and see this? Probably not, may go down well in the States and Aus doubt it would do anything in Europe, works for Abba as they have been away for so long and lets admit it the music is far superior, Kiss was all about the live show, the noise the flash bombs the energy, this is a just a crass idea.
KISS should’ve packed it in on their farewell tour more then 20 yrs ago, while they could should play loud and proud and Paul could sing thanks to his Phantom run. They became this old band and are still pushing it further with holograms - this new era isn’t for me. Led Zeppelin did it the best original member gone let’s move on to new things.
people paid to see the vegas show in a cinema so don't see why they wouldn't pay for hologram shows. I'd pay to see a full recreation of the 70's show, even if ALIVE was the soundtrack
It must suck to be young these days and have your generation's music be so awful that it is overshadowed by artists from 40 and 50 years ago. Especially when it gets down to an avatar show run by one tech saying to another "sigh... OK Dave, hit the start button.."
Can't wait for Virtual ABBA and Virtual Elvis to open for Virtual KISS on the next tour.
Yeah, Kiss is the least popular of those 3. They're definitely opening
And all the virtual mistakes from a live performance
NEVER WANT TO SEE THAT....EVER!
I'll send a virtual me to see them lol
Stranger to think Jimi Hendrix really did open for the Monkees....imagine that crowd 😂🤣😅
Robot versions of the band playing "God Gave Rock 'N' Roll to You II". Who knew "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey" would prove prophetic.
instead of coming out again and really say farewell to the loyal fans who were there, they just immediately introduced their newest money grab.
Yes, I was a little disappointed by the ending.
Man that's a slap in the face to fans! I'm shocked that they ended the concert like that. Glad I kept my $$! I get this game I'm wanting. Best of luck to them, but I just lost respect for them after that! Sad....

Not anymore. That's why Ace and Peter left.

Yeah I thought they were grooming people to fill in for themselves but not shocked about this as well, see you in Vegas :-)
KISS ended for me the moment they disappeared into the smoke at the finale of Rock and Roll Al Nite. That was it, a fitting end to Kisstory.
Buddy Holly, Tupac, ABBA, Roy Orbison are touring as holograms, I knew once Gene and Paul caught on to the idea they would see $ signs lol
There's also a reason why Buddy Holly & Roy Orbison's tour was way back in 2019 - never to be heard from again. The same happened to Ronnie James Dio.
@@SitlerHQ yea but they are all passed on they, didn't know it and they didn't profit from it , they might have liked the idea or might not have lol

They should’ve ended it after “Love Gun.” That’s when Kiss ended. 1977-78.
I totally agree
so... kiss became a guitar hero game?? what is this ????
So how’s this going to work is Kiss going to still do concerts but as virtuals of themselves if so will they also do this at arena shows
This kind of show will not fill arenas. Probably this will be presented in one auditorium in Vegas
“And they’ve sent us along as a surrogate band…we’re gonna find out where you fans really stand…”
