KISS(2015) Army...No Regrets! Owners, fans and groupies club

Quoted from Pickle:
Maybe the set/light show is better but depending on when you saw them in 2000/2001 that was the last time to EVER see Ace and Peter in the lineup. Peter left in 2000 and Ace left in 2001. They have been doing the SAME show for over 20+ years now. Nothing special anymore. Just glad I got to see a Kiss show with Ace and Peter. That was the real farewell tour.

true, but lets be honest, we're both almost as good as a drummer as peter criss, and ace could barely stand up most nights.

Some truth to that…but let’s be honest..Paul can’t sing anymore….backing tracks are used EXTENSIVELY….to the point of they don’t need to even play. The whole Beth thing is really ridiculous. There was a time when their live act was a must see show…hasn’t been that way in a long time.

Managed to qualify ‘Heavens on fire’ multiball today, (first time in ages)
But couldn’t locate where to actually get it started
As it turns out, it was at the backstage pass scoop
Though it wasn’t lit, no info on screen, or any call-outs to help
Ball kinda just bounced off the sling and into the scoop, with that HOF multiball was away
Seems like that should’ve been coded better

This is because it was added later and there is no insert to let you know. The center grid does a nice lighting effect when it's lit though. Kind of a pulsing chase light show.

Instruments cannot be collected in multi ball play. They must be lit and collected during single ball play.

Looks like he has five left. Idk if they are NOS or knockoffs but they sure look good. Once these are gone they might not come back around? I’d sure like to purchase a mirrored Iron Maiden glass.

He's been selling them for over a year that I know of and he's always got an open auction. I wonder if it's a large batch of seconds or something that he got cheaply.

i was there, but i believe alot of his vocals were milli vanillied. and the piano eric singer played on beth i read was fake. regardless it was a great show.

Yeah, when I saw them prepandemic it was pretty obvious he was relying on vocal tracks for help, this time it was less obvious. Paul had a great voice but like most singers time has taken it’s toll on him.

I was there also, and seem to have had very similar seats.

Yeah they’ve pretty much been doing the same show for the last few tours, and I could tell you their song set by heart now, but their songs are made to be heard live and they continue to deliver a good show. A few years back when they started this tour Paul talked about how he wanted to end it at Madison Square Garden and that he would like to have Ace and Peter participate in the last show, probably because of how much more interest that would generate. But his recent fighting with Ace has pretty much killed any possibility of that happening.

yeah would of been cool to see them bring back all members for at least 1 or 2 songs they were a part of. vinnie vincent on lick it up, bruce on tears are falling, etc. When you're 70 yrs old, ain't much sense in holding grudges anymore.

They’re both idiots. I liked the two songs that Gene contributed to on Ace’s Spaceman album, I thought at that time they had put everything behind them, but they all continue to act like little children.

It’s pretty sad. While we have seen many other bands put their differences aside and do farewell tours and such for some reason Kiss can’t…it’s definitely petty a childish. But I understand….Paul and Gene have some ridiculous demands. They would do it but Ace/Peter would only be “Hired”….that’s just dumb. Ace and Peter were a part of what MADE Kiss. As original members they should be treated as such for the farewell tour…I don’t blame Ace or Peter for not accepting that offer. Anything Paul/Gene have to say on the subject is hollow. When you hear Paul/Gene talk of how Kiss has always been about the fans that’s not entirely true….the fans want Ace/Peter. You can thank Gene/Paul for denying the fans of one last chance to see a reunion.

This is probably gonna happen….Paul/Gene will kick it off then bring in replacements to be the Demon and Starchild…..it will sell as there will always be people wanting to see the Kiss concert experience……with todays technology could just do holograms to be honest….no need to hire anyone.

Yes, I think it will too. After they announced that the final show on the end of the road tour would be the band's last live performance ever. I'm going to the 12/1 show and it just feels a little less special now. They are lying money grubbers, but I guess I've known that for a very long time.

You will move your plastic trim pieces from the current glass/translite combo and put them on the new backglass. You may need some electrical tape or other to make the plastic trim fit snug, but maybe not.

You will need to transfer the trim. This is a solid glass, not a translight. Easy to do.
