R.I.P.
Welcome to 2001.
"End Of The Road" tour

250 shows (highest number of shows on a tour; broke the 200 barrier)

Highest grossing tour.
And, most importantly, you got to wave bye-bye to your favorite band!

Is it a coincidence that Pophouse changed CEO at the same time as the Kiss event in Vegas switched names?

Yes, lip synching to half empty arena over here on their last show was something to remember.
Same thing happened on the "Alive/Worldwide" and "Farewell" tours. They revisited the same cities or within close proximity of a city on an earlier leg of the tour.

Did you attend any shows on the "End Of The Road" tour?

So the highest number of shows was the highest grossing tour. Makes sense.

Doesn't mean it was good.
Numbers are fact.

Whether you think something is good or bad is just subjective.

A lip synced parody of what KISS once was.

I'm embarrassed for you.
I ring the bell and you come running ...

Here's a fact for you - when the lights went up at MSG after the last show, after the avatar infomercial, dead silence in the building. Hell of a way to go out.

False.

I saw the pay-per-view.

That's your proof? It actually was quiet when it was over.

Damn, I forgot what the Avatars commercial looked like. It was tiresome just during the snippet of GGRRTY, I can only imagine a full show of PS2 cutscenes.

risingfarce is going to die on this hill.

They could tour the flashing KISS sign around and pipe in muzak and he'd swear it was still the greatest show on earth.

I was there as well. It sucked the life out of the building and people left with a confused WTF feeling.

"Give Gene wings like a demon! He'll fly! "Spaceman" can fly too!

"Uhh.... that sounds hard. Can we just have Gene float? Like he's off the ground a little and the wings are slightly moving?"

"Yeah. Floating is flying, right? Do that for "Spaceman" too! These are otherworldly powers! The fans will love it!"

I split the cost ($20) to watch the pay-per-view.

You're the fanboy who spent more. Sucks to be you. Love that Paul and Gene got your money.

What hill would that be exactly?

Never been on a KISS kruise and have no intention of going to Vegas.

You can't stop talking about KISS. You can't help yourself. Paul and Gene got you.

The NEW ERA STARTS NOW...and then 5 years later, something might show up that no one cares about. Gene and Paul are 80 or dead. WE ARE IMMORTAL.

You really are not bright and can't comprehend what I said.

I've been a KISS fan since 1977, nobody who was a fan during the original era could possibly support the shit show they ultimately turned into while maintaining even a shred of self-respect.

Nice deflection attempt.

Who said I spent more? Why do you assume I bought my ticket?

Also - "I split the cost ($20) to watch the pay-per-view."

" Love that Paul and Gene got your money".

Are you going to continue arguing about this? You weren't there. I was. Just stop.
