2024 KISStard Photo Dump
Had a few left, if you enjoy 'em enjoy 'em, if you want to be a KISStard Karen and think we shouldn't laugh at notable KISStards then don't look at them.

Re: 2024 KISStard Photo Dump
What stands out the most for me is how odd these people look. No one looks "normal." I consider myself a typical 57-year-old. Corporate job. Dad to now adults. Gray hair. Clothes style is nowhere near these goons. I've played in cover bands long ago when I could pull off a better stage look. Distant past for me.
This looks like "People of Walmart."
These are hilarious.

Aye, you nailed it, they all look weird. Thanks for posting them. They are always fun to look at. Was it gene or paul who told scab drummer to hold his sticks like that?

Paul looks repulsed in most of them. Gene doesn’t look happy either. I don’t feel sorry for either one of them

Re: 2024 KISStard Photo Dump
Yup. Keep them coming.
One last comment, I know the band has worn these costumes for several years now, but when we see them in normal lighting, they look cheap. Gene looks like he's wearing a plastic Halloween costume with baggy spandex underneath. Tommy, similar but not baggy. In concert, Singer is wearing a tee shirt. I know we are long past the days of real leather and metal costumes, and these are made for "comfort." But they look like shit.

Stand next to a celebrity and average looking people look even worse.
I was in some office and a girl had a collage of photos next to her desk. One of them was a pic with Carrie Underwood, who looked like Miss Universe next to all these commoners.

Yeah, Gene was so full of shit, saying "I play in 60 lbs of armor every night". Those little plastic bits dont weigh anything, and im sure the boots can be made to be barely heavier than a regular boot.TooOldToCare wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 7:27 am Gene looks like he's wearing a plastic Halloween costume with baggy spandex underneath.

Re: 2024 KISStard Photo Dump
I’m pretty sure those absurd Godzilla boots are just shells and he’s wearing actual running shoes inside them. He’s had problems with his feet for a few years, and when the band were rehearsing for stuff and put up photos, Tommy and Paul are always wearing their boots to rehearse in and Gene has always just worn running shoes. His current boots are INSANELY big, way bigger than his old dragon head boots that he’s worn for decades. They’re 1.5 times as big as Tommy and Paul’s.

Re: 2024 KISStard Photo Dump
The oversized costume is like fucking GWAR. It looks stupid in the KISS context and makes Gene look square like Spongebob. This is an unpopular opinion, but I always liked his short-lived Elder costume with the chainmail. I realize Gene was about ½ the size he is currently. Singer is still young enough to embrace a calorie deficit. His head a circle. Tommy's, we've discussed it many times. Paul's is melting. Gene's is Al Lewis. I'm not Brad Pitt, but genetics is helping in some places (so far). Gene should wear those Dragon Head Slippers they sold 25 years ago.BernieTaupson wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 2:00 pm I’m pretty sure those absurd Godzilla boots are just shells and he’s wearing actual running shoes inside them.

As for the civilians in the pictures, I suspect Faded Glory jeans and NASCAR jackets is standard uniform.

Re: 2024 KISStard Photo Dump
I get people liking them in the 70s, 80s, or whenever they were growing up, but I didn't grow up with them and this is my image of KISS, so it's hard not to think of anybody that likes them looking exactly like these people.TooOldToCare wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 5:21 am What stands out the most for me is how odd these people look.

Mel Gibson and Richard Simmons lovechild. The next guy just got out of having an IV in the hospital. Five(?) down looks like a relative of CC Banana -- one who didn't blow their life savings on a CD tribute to fat chicks.Black Stuff wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 8:17 am hahahaha the band looks soo bored.

This one looks like he just escaped from an institution and during the getaway he somehow ended up at the venue and is disguising himself as a KISS fan until the coast is clear.

Gene Wilder and an Oompa Loompa with a Little House on The Prairie outfit with sideways toes.
These people are fascinating. I’ll find some more if you want them.

It's nice to see KISS rockin' and partying hard with their favorite people!
LONG LIVE ROCK & ROLL!

I reckon all songs are folk songs. I ain't never heard no horses singing any.

Klaus from Scorpions.
Gene looks like he’s sucking on an everlasting gobstopper.
Eric looks like he’s giving a prostate exam and Thayer looks like he’s receiving one.

Klaus for the win, he got the pic for free, put out his debut album before Kiss, he still gets to tour...
And he still has his voice!

Paul is so disinterested, he can't even bother to do the foot thing.

Re: 2024 KISStard Photo Dump
It's great to see that Clarence got himself a picture. You know Gene is just salivating at the thought of finally being able to get into business with someone tied into OCP. Man, Leno looks like he let himself go. Gene Wilder doesn't look so bad though.
