First of all: congrats to John of 2loud20ldmusic for making it to the final Kiss show. No surprises in the setlist; just the same songs. They did a Q&A featuring, most notably, Desmond Child. After all was said and done and Kiss finally played the last show of their last tour…now we have the Kiss Avatars.
We knew Kiss would continue in some way. I predicted a “Kiss II” kind of lineup a few years ago. What we are getting is so so so much worse.
These new digital Kiss “avatars” are eight feet tall and animated, composed of pixels and lights. They are inspired by the ABBA Voyage show. Both shows are produced by a company called Pophouse.
It is not yet known where or when we will see the Kiss Avatars next. But we will.
Me, I’ll be waiting patiently for a 50th anniversary box set of the debut album, or Hotter Than Hell, or a 40th anniversary box set of Animalize. I won’t pay to see avatars, of anyone, anywhere. Except maybe the blue kind if the third movie doesn’t suck.

Yep. If folk want to pay for this and enjoy it then good for them but I’m completely uninterested in this.

A bit too futuristic for me, borders on being creepy in my old school world.

Yup, flop. I can see them doing this in smaller venues a couple of times to prove it’s a fail. No way will big arenas fill to see this. IMO. Maybe a Las Vegas attraction for the wealthy that piss away their money.

SO unnecessary, lol! I’ll stick with remembering the band for how great they were, and continue to enjoy the music they have graced us with over the past five decades. I don’t need animated versions of them to “keep going”…

I predict failure. I don’t say that to rain on their parade. I say that because to quote Han Solo, I have a bad feeling about this.

I chose to listen to Carnival of Souls instead for now…

Great choice. Me personally, I see no reason to go to this. It looks like a video game. If I want to see a video game blown up to large size, well, there are plenty of movies that already do that. In IMAX 3D.

Did you like the second movie? I found it a drag.

I went in with low expectations but I did end up enjoying it. It could have done with some editing as well.
I was also watching it with my 11 year old who hadn’t seen the first one and his enthusiasm for it rubbed off on me as well.
So we both made an agreement to watch the third one in an IMAX.
