KISS 2020 Goodbye Poll

[Fartbone]

Will you be buying this PPV event?

[johnkissfan1974]

Absolutely f-cking NO!

[FlamingRuth]

Where's the option that says ,"What are you, kidding me, Puto?"

[jannep17]

No, sorry, I won't.
If I was a pyro guy I would, but I liked the music. And lipsyncing Paul sounds the same all the time.

[Stanley! You look so cute]

Unless I get a better offer on NYE (which I won't) I will absolutely watch this with a good bottle of red. Something to look forward to, a hint of normality even, in an otherwise dismal, depressing year. I will look forward to giving 2020 the finger with the band that have been there for almost my entire life.

[GACatmandu]

No way in hell, I wouldn't buy one of these for any band ever.

[joma5477]

I will purchase if they announce Ace and Peter are playing instead of Tommy and Singer... Hell, I'd settle for just Ace.




In other words, no I will not.

[KISS#1]

No. Unless the prices goes down. Very down.

[Fartbone]

Where's the option that says ,"What are you, kidding me, Puto?"

List puta, LOL.

[JohnBergless]

Make another poll, please:

Will this actually happen”? Yes or No

[Fartbone]

Foo fighters did one last week for $15.00

one cost, nothing extra

This isn't a Vinnie Thread.

Gene and Paul are just continuing what they've been doing the last ten years or so: proving that their most virulent critics , especially the ones who said they are all about money first, were absolutely, 100% correct.

So sad how it's all ending.

[woodworm001]

Cashing in on people that can't see family or friends on NYE - well done chaps!

[shandi777]

I wouldn't watch it for free.

[Kissologist]

I'll wait for it to be in YouTube

[Eddie Van Hazel]

Hell to the no.

[Admin]

Yes I will. Nothing better to do on NYE. I'm glad they're doing something. In Hi-Def too. Better for me than another vinyl repressing.

[Pollux]

Yes! I'm excited. Hell, I might take a flight and go there.

What do you think they’re doing with the Blu Ray?
Do you think that’ll come out for purchase separately? I’m going to buy the livestream, but I kinda don’t want to shell out $250.

[Mad Dog]

No.

[Marty Scurll]

Hell>>>>>No!

[SpaceaceRyan]

No. How could it be better than the Sonic Boom concert dvd?

[His Majesty]

Fuck no, but I AM looking forward to Wonder Woman 1984 showing on HBO Max on Christmas!!!

[Wichita77]

As "on the fence" wasn't an option, I picked "yes" as I am strongly leaning that way.

It might be fun to watch it together with members of the FAQ, responding in real time to what we are all seeing...

[Stanley! You look so cute]

Exactly! NYE on the FAQ watching a KISS livestream from Dubai where they attempt the world Guinness record for pyro, I am totally down for that! It's a no-brainer for me and I'm looking forward to it.

[Wild Animals]

no

[gothunder]

Highly likely.

[Wichita77]

What say you Julian?

[andreww1962]

This guy would much rather watch a full 70s show on YouTube. After the farewell tour and subsequent revival of cover band KISS, I promised myself I wouldn't give those greedy bastards another dime.

Since it's a live stream, need to be very careful of the copyright/legal implications of shared viewing. That said, I know some are considering watch parties -- which would be fun if safely done per their location's rules & regulations. Virtual watch parties where everyone is watching their own stream and just sharing commentary and not sound/video from event may be a bit circle-jerkish (if shared) or awesome (if private). Unless there's an NFL-ish "descriptions of this broadcast are prohibited" disclaimer too

[Where's Drago?]

I'm going with no. I pay enough to watch telly already, so although I think this is actually a pretty decent idea KISS has come up with, it's just not my cup of tea.

I'll know I'll be envious on the night (afternoon?) and it sounds like it's going to be absolutely barnstorming, I just can't justify spending that money on a show I'm not physically attending.

Sounds good but we know KISS like to stretch the truth.

I'll probably end up watching it if I'm not busy.

[Revenge 92]

No.

[doombies]

no.

[Mystogan]

No, I wouldn't pay that much to watch this KISS. $15 I'd likely do it, that'd be something to watch and goof on. But for $52 CAD, no way buddy.

[Andy Capp]

Old Andy just woke up from a nap‚ and when asked he politely said absolutely not----

[lord71]

No, sorry, I won't.
If I was a pyro guy I would, but I liked the music. And lipsyncing Paul sounds the same all the time.

This.

[Fartbone]

Shit. Paul doesn't even need to show up.

[Wichita77]

With roughly 75% of FAQ members not interested (so far anyway) it makes me wonder just how successful this will be in the end.

I don't see why any casual would do it, especially at that rate. I understand why they would want to go to a show, especially with it billed as a farewell tour, but I don't see a televised concert having the same appeal. Meanwhile, I'm sure that the networks and MTV have something up their sleeves as far as televised performances with more contemporary artists for NYE.

Then again with the whole world being concert-deprived, front row seats at a virtual show might be the ticket. Time will tell.

[Dr Borgo]

I voted no. If I want to watch a KISS concert on TV I have lots of options from every era. Being live means nothing to me if I am not there in person.

C'mon there are millions of Kiss fans & millions of casuals. Your numbers are ridicules. This is going to be lots of fun to so many people. Chill & have a beer. Plus statistics 1-0-1.

Whoa dial it down pardner. You're the one that needs to chill here. I was only wondering out loud how successful something like this would be.

At the time I put my percentage number up it was just a tad over 25% in favor. I ended by saying it could be successful in a concert deprived world.

Having said that, I still don't think casuals are going to care, and clearly, using the FAQ as a measure, a healthy percentage of actual KISS fans won't care either.

I will however, take your advice and have a beer.

[spiritof76]

[sabresaxon]

Hard pass.

[johnkissfan1974]

I am hoping its a huge disappointment as far as sales. The band is milking this tit for every last drop and guess what - the tits are empty Paul! Instead of offering a shitty TV concert they shouldve spent 2020 aka COVID19 year remastering all the contents of the vault. They have tons of slides they own the rights to. This fucking bullshit countdown clock shoudve announced the largest fucking collection any fan has ever dreamed. An extensive photobook filled with stories from all members of the Kiss family, plus “x” number cd’s featuring demos/live material/alternate tracks/radio ads and interviews and lastly “x” amount of DVD’s featuring all the remastered videos, full concerts including the Alive!, Alive II, Alive III performances. Name the box set “KISSTORIC” and be done with the band. THATS what this fucking band should’ve done! I’m so fucking frustrated with this band.

Look forward to that in a future countdown.

I agree with much of what you say. At the same time, you can't blame Gene and Paul. They found out they have a LOT of suckers for fans. As such, they're milking every last cent out of them before they hang up the heels.

Once Gene and Paul truly saw what some fans would pay for nothing, they jumped on the chance.

Enough KISS fans let KISS know, in no uncertain terms, that anything they did in these last few years, anything, would be acceptable, and price was really no object.

Yes, Paul and Gene deserve the lion's share of the blame for how this is all ending; but a certain percentage of KISS 'fans' shoulder a large amount of the blame, too.

Cheers mate☺ Lets enjoy NYE. I'll bet Kiss and us fans will have a blast - in a way or another. Covid situation may actually magnet people together. I've already called to my heard:) They are OK! Ready to go
