Wow, for someone who really didn’t get into bands much, I thought KISS were incredible. Wow, what a spectacle, 3 amazing songs, I now understand what all the hype was about. Best grand final entertainment that I’ve ever seen.
My Dad took my sister and I to the Kiss concert in Sydney in 1980, he knew a friend that worked in the entertainment industry who got us some tickets they were $13.50 each lol. As you can imagine back then my Dad was not a Kiss fan but remember over hearing him saying to some friends afterwards that he did enjoy the concert. I would have been eleven at the time and my sister 10 years old. My Mother waited outside in the car for an hour and a half because we couldn't afford 4 tickets, god bless her.
Legends. Followed kiss all my life great music unbelievable live. There music got me through hard times....Kiss fans have been blessed. You either like them or don't....20+ shows from the Hilton hotel unplugged. Club show at the palais theatre. To rod laver arena..thank you you for the music.
Thanks @yoavdvash4141 Many of us are very happy and fortunate to live here. There are certainly far worse countries on this planet that we could be in. But the sooks don't bother to realise that, too busy crying about first world problems.
This was so wonderful to watch!! Gene & Paul look so happy and blessed. I bet those 3 girls will have the time of their lives seeing that KISS show. And good on ya hosts on gifting Gene and Paul the wine and chocolates. So classy and thoughtful!
@@russelblackwell6041 Let's see you get out there and pump up a crowd before an AFL grand final. Though I'm sure most people wouldn't be interested in seeing you do anything, even if they got paid.
Gene and Paul are well versed and civil in this interview. They look pretty good for men in their 70s and in reality age is a state of mind. Your'e as old as you feel
I was never much of a KISS fan. But, when they mentioned it would be their last concert in Australia. I can't help to feel a little sad, when someone mentions it's their last time.
I will always love kiss they have been a very big part of my generation and they are going to be truly missed i just wat to thank you kiss for bringing all of your fans so much joy and menories you will always be in our hearts forever wishing all of you the best of everything abd to tell you that i love you
Berranari1 - Good luck to the Pies they have been the best team all year and in my opinion I'm tipping them to win the GF. They will deserve it...coming from a North Melbourne supporter and a life long KISS fan
@@lynfletcher7744 I agree North will improve next year but we need to recruit a really good tall key defender in the craft with Griffin Logue out till mid next year, and McKay going to Essendon. We need a good ruckman as I'm not sold on Tristan Xerri or Callum Coleman Jones
So weird how I got into KISS, they were featured on a secret stage on Tony Hawks Underground 1. Was so fascinated by their music and energy. Their performance over the weekend was HUGE
Thank you gentlemen , for your insights in to our service men. I’m in the uk and my son in law was involved in several excursions. He was retired to being wounded. He survived but always speaks of his comrades camaraderie . It means a bunch to hear you talk like this. Sorry your touring no more. Please always stay lucky.
Gene - "We went to the show yesterday just to make sure everything was perfection for the fans". They always give 100% on stage. You wanted the best. You got the best. The hottest band in the world. KISS!
i bought their first album (and every one after that until the make-up came off) almost the day it hit the stores the cover was enough to give it a try went to the concert at adelaide oval the first time they toured
Loved these guys for years...then Gene opened his big mouth criticizing the unjabbbed...still love the other 3 as they kept their opinions to themselves
I also know a kiss band tge the original band from Victoria my boys will under go a complete change in costume boots etc and will b singing Slade songs as we cut a deal with the surviving band members of Slade who will get 10% of every song sang and recorded cause ny kiss boys can actually sound like Slade etc etc etc
KISS is a legendary rock band known for their iconic makeup, elaborate stage personas, and anthemic rock music. Formed in New York City in 1973, KISS became one of the most influential and successful rock bands of all time. Here’s a closer look at KISS, their history, and their impact on the world of rock music. Formation and Early Years: KISS was founded by two aspiring musicians, Gene Simmons (bass and vocals) and Paul Stanley (rhythm guitar and vocals). They were later joined by Ace Frehley (lead guitar and vocals) and Peter Criss (drums and vocals). The band’s lineup remained stable for several years, and each member adopted a unique stage persona: Gene Simmons became “The Demon,” Paul Stanley as “The Starchild,” Ace Frehley as “The Spaceman” or “Space Ace,” and Peter Criss as “The Catman.” Rise to Fame: KISS’s early years were marked by energetic live performances, distinctive makeup and costumes, and a hard-hitting sound that combined elements of rock, glam, and pop. They gained a reputation for their over-the-top stage shows, which often included fire-breathing, blood-spitting, and elaborate pyrotechnics. Their breakthrough came with the release of the album “Alive!” in 1975, which captured the raw energy and excitement of their live performances. The album produced hit singles like “Rock and Roll All Nite” and catapulted KISS to superstardom. Iconic Makeup: KISS’s makeup and personas played a significant role in their image and appeal. Each member’s distinctive face paint and costume became instantly recognizable symbols of the band. The makeup added an element of mystique and theatrics to their live shows, creating a larger-than-life experience for fans. Hits and Albums: KISS went on to release a string of successful albums in the 1970s and early 1980s, including “Destroyer,” “Love Gun,” and “Dynasty.” Their music often featured catchy melodies, anthemic choruses, and memorable guitar riffs. Hit songs like “Detroit Rock City,” “Beth,” and “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” became rock classics. Challenges and Lineup Changes: The band faced challenges in the 1980s, including a shift in musical trends and the departure of original members. Both Ace Frehley and Peter Criss left the band, and KISS introduced new members to fill their roles. Unmasking: In 1983, KISS made the bold decision to unmask themselves in a public appearance on MTV. This marked a significant departure from their previous personas, but it also allowed fans to see the real faces behind the makeup. Reunion and Resurgence: KISS experienced a resurgence in popularity in the 1990s when the original lineup reunited for a highly successful tour. They continued to tour extensively and release new music with varying lineups over the years. Legacy: KISS’s impact on rock music and popular culture is immense. They are often credited with popularizing the “arena rock” genre and pioneering the concept of the rock concert as a theatrical spectacle. Their influence can be seen in numerous bands that followed, and their music remains beloved by fans around the world. In 2019, KISS embarked on their “End of the Road” farewell tour, marking the end of their live performances as a band. While their touring days may be over, KISS’s legacy as one of rock and roll’s greatest and most theatrical acts continues to live on through their music and iconic imagery.
What can we expect from ya, Gene “Well. You can expect us to sync to backing tracks and pantomime” If you’re a TRUE KISS fan, you know that KISS is a total joke now
You were good luck kiss Collingwood won yeah good old Collingwood forever 16 premierships we have won this year we can do it again 17 cups yeah no 1 and kiss you were good at the grand final better than Robbie Williams in 2022
Wow how amateur and out of touch is the NRL with train wreck unwanted types of entertainment for a high energy football game!! Take note of how AFL just embarrassed the NRL putting on a public spectacle that NRL could only dream of! Train wreck rugby league Final. No grand about it!!
Just watched kiss perform at grand final, they sucked, not as bad as meatloaf, but terrible. What is it with the afl they get has beens to sing. 2 out of 10

@@LOUIS-np6be , Hi LOUIS, it was no accident that I posted here. “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" (Mark 16:15). Did you watch the video to witness God's power in action? Or you would rather continue being fooled by the devil?
I love KISS. They are probably the first band I really got into as a kid, and I had their merchandise all over my room. All hail to the KISS ARMY!
❤❤ 👏 The 👑 KINGS 👑 OF ROCK N ROLL ❤❤
Same with my brother. They were and still are LEGENDS!
Moi aussi vive kiss forever
Wow, for someone who really didn’t get into bands much, I thought KISS were incredible. Wow, what a spectacle, 3 amazing songs, I now understand what all the hype was about. Best grand final entertainment that I’ve ever seen.

I was there at VFL Park in 1980 and I was there last Saturday at the MCG. The KISS machine never ceases to amaze me. Rock on boys! 🤙
You would have never have expected in 1980 that 43 years later they would be back here still rocking and still kicking butt!

They're professionals. You don't get that big without being professionals.
i bought their first album (and every one after that until the make-up came off) almost the day it hit the stores
the cover was enough to give it a try
went to the concert at adelaide oval the first time they toured
in their 70's, did very well under all that gear in the 30+ degrees Melbourne spring sun
They do more miming than Marcel Marceau
They are a amazing band and you should at lesser respect them
I have been thinking about KISS all year.
Now I know why. 😀
FYI Gene is a Carlton supporter 👍
❤❤
The good guys 😍
Loved these guys for years...then Gene opened his big mouth criticizing the unjabbbed...still love the other 3 as they kept their opinions to themselves
We are the enemy 😂
Brilliant!
