So these aren’t ABBA avatars? These are just cartoons on a movie screen?

Young people may love it though, cartoon KISS instead of old KISS may be exactly what they want … young people are weird.

I look forward to the thread showing the losers who pay to meet four digital puppets.

I wasn't aware of the ABBA Voyage or whatever it is. I watched a couple clips on YT, and to me, it looked pretty real.

Re: BREAKING : DIGITAL KISS 2024
I've seen this tour 3 or 4 times now. I feel like I've been duped enough. I didn't go. The one thing that would've made me want to go is if there was a sincere "thank you for 50 amazing years" tribute but as expected that didn't happen.Mister Freeze wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2023 8:28 am Even during their grand finale, these guys are incapable of having a genuine, sentimental moment with the audience.
Even at Motley's fake last show, the only sentimental moment was before Home Sweet Home, Vince shed a tear and said "I'm gonna miss you fuckers"...
Comedian Ron White had a sincere goodbye when he retired...but of course he's back out of retirement now.
So I guess there is no real retirement until they are gone.

Re: BREAKING : DIGITAL KISS 2024
I'm looking forward to the meet and greet pics. I am 100% convinced this will go the way of many KISS endeavors nowhere. It's not going to be the next era of KISS. I'm not convinced we'll see more than what happened at MSG last night. It'll die before whatever is supposed to happen with it.

Well, the Abba avatars cost a lot of money and needed expensive technology.Jason Jennifer Leigh wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2023 10:15 am So these aren’t ABBA avatars? These are just cartoons on a movie screen?
KISS just put on the Guitar Hero Mo-cap suits and did some guitar hero moves.

As familiar characters, are they on the level of Superman, Batman, etc., or are they more on the level of Ronald McDonald and The Energizer Bunny?TooOldToCare wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2023 2:46 pm I'm looking forward to the meet and greet pics.

Re: BREAKING : DIGITAL KISS 2024
This is a bigger wet fart than their Dubai show was.
Avatar’s!?
At the end of the show when the members ascended to the rafters and disappeared, it was the perfect time for for younger members to come down as the touring replacements for the brand. These old queens managed to fuck this up per usual.

Re: BREAKING : DIGITAL KISS 2024
The general (non-fan) public might recognize the images as "some rock band", but I think they fall below the Energizer Bunny or Geico Gecko.Turner Coates wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2023 2:58 pmAs familiar characters, are they on the level of Superman, Batman, etc., or are they more on the level of Ronald McDonald and The Energizer Bunny?TooOldToCare wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2023 2:46 pm I'm looking forward to the meet and greet pics.

Re: BREAKING : DIGITAL KISS 2024
Don't really care about these avatars, but doing 70s KISS would have made a lot more sense. Paul and Gene are adamant this current line up of KISS is the best, which is laughable really.HueyRamone wrote: ↑Sat Dec 02, 2023 10:15 pmOh, great!

Funny enough, the very last thing they left their audience was a QR code on the screen, taking them to a webpage for "access to the new era."
It's the most KISS thing they could possibly do. The fans are customers 'til the end. And beyond.

Re: BREAKING : DIGITAL KISS 2024
This whole idea is bad and dumb. The avatars look like low-poly video game characters that are already two hardware generations behind the times.
Also, by using motion capture to record the movements of 70-year-old men, you're guaranteeing that the avatars will always move like 70-year-old men. And if you hire younger actors and motion-capture them instead, you end up with that creepy Dio hologram

And this shit didnt take off, so why would the new version of it?

Like CGI DeNiro beating the shit out of the grocer in The Irishman, they can make him look younger in post-production but they can't hide the stiff movement of a guy in his seventies...Demon Kogure wrote: ↑Sun Dec 03, 2023 6:22 pm This whole idea is bad and dumb.

Re: BREAKING : DIGITAL KISS 2024
The idea could have been cool. But they made themselves look like Spawn characters like those lame McFarlane figures that came out 25 years ago. NOBODY wants that crap except KISS themselves. The fans want a rock band like KISS was in the 70's. I am 56 years old and have been a fan since 1976 and I hate this crap.

KISS does not have that kind of budget, although I did read that the ABBA production company was involved in some way in the KISStards.....I guess that's the new name for these, KISStards

Re: BREAKING : DIGITAL KISS 2024
The 100th thought I had on this subject is why the Mo-cap suits. This is animation. It seems like animators could create this without the involvement of the band. It isn't like Guardians of the Galaxy, where Rocket has to exist in the world of actual living beings and look legit. Is using the suits to capture the motion less laborious than animating it from scratch? I believe I answered my own question.
