We’ve heard it before – your favorite band claims this next tour is the LAST tour. The FINAL tour. The last chance to catch them live! But then bands have a change of heart, miss each other, miss the cash, reunite, and go back out to play more shows. Does this bother fans? Maybe some. But real fans won’t mind, they would do anything to see their favorite band one last time.
So here come KISS, claiming the current tour is the last KISS tour…at least the last tour with Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. But as Paul mentioned earlier this week, KISS can continue without them, with some semblance of a KISS lineup that feels something like the real thing. But Gene is adamant, absolutely sure, that this tour will indeed be the last with any of the original members. Simmons says, “So, we’re gonna go out on top. I don’t wanna stay on stage too long. You don’t wanna ruin the legacy. So you can go to Las Vegas, play golf at the KISS golf course at the Rio hotel. You can go on the Kiss Kruises… You wanna have some pride in what you do, and don’t wait too long. It’s like picking fruit — pick that fruit when it’s ripe. Don’t wait too long; it’ll get rotten.”
