I bailed after Black Diamond. The heat in there was insane, everyone was soaked and trying to fan themselves. Saw a couple of people passed out from the heat and a girl getting carried out. Really unpleasant.
Kiss looked and sounded great, Paul's vocal problems are completely buried when you're actually there but I'm sure Youtube footage will highlight weaknesses.
For me the entire experience was ruined by the heat and humidity. Amazed that such a small venue was tropically hot with no air-con or ventilation.

Decent is correct.
Looks like Pauly is trying in spots to go lower or falsetto, but can't help himself and still tries to belt and that's no good, no more.
The crows participation part is F'N ROUGH!! Cat's being run over... ouch!
Why are they still playing song anyway?
It's pretty stale at this point and vocally demanding for 2012 Paul, why not try say.. hmmmm.. Mr. Speed?

This actually sounds really, really good, even if the song needs to be shelved.
I have only one complaint: can one of the stage hands remind Gene that his boots aren't nailed to one spot? That he's actually able to, you know, move around and pump up the crowd? I know, it's that complaint is about 10 years old at this point, but I still hope to see SOME kind of movement up there.

DRC! Very nice. I can't imagine being a kid at home back in 1977 in my room and being able to get on the internet and see clips from KISS from a show they performed in England the same day. Pretty cool.

Detroit Rock City - I can't hear shit first verse, too much singing-along. First chorus is sounding solid. Big crack in second verse, other then that mostly good. Second chorus solid. Third verse, no no no. Third chorus sounded good, he's really been hitting these fine. Ha, Tommy fucked up a note, not that it ruined the song...fuck, why can't American crowds sing the solo for DRC? Europe does it and S. America does it, why can't we? Why? Because we're lazy fucks that's why. Fourth verse, "I gotta rock!!!" Nailed it. Scream at the end, nailed it AGAIN for the second gig in a row...unnecessary though but still he nailed it. Got sketchy there for a little bit, but overall he held it together. Other than New Orleans DRC has been his most solid song when it comes to playing live. As long as he doesn't over do it with the wailing he should be fine come The Tour.
100000 Years - Fuck me, this is just bad...and I'm in the first verse. Chorus and it's not getting better, wailing sounds like shit. Audience participation sounds like shit as well.

Re: 7/4/12 - Forum, London, England
If it sounds bad I'll say it sounds bad. I wasn't expecting '77 in '96, Ace never was a technical virtuoso and Peter at least kept time, he didn't have any of the flash he had before but he wasn't making songs unenjoyable for me. Hearing this singing coming in over the PA's not going to make me a happy camper, after I go see them, meh I could care less how he does in concert seeing how this year will be my last time seeing them. Let's just put it this way, in 2009 Paul's voice was just a minor annoyance for me, since then his voice has taken a nosedive South and it'll probably be a bigger distraction. As for Peter missing a couple cues and just keeping time in the Reunion era, didn't bother me one bit because it didn't screw up an entire concert like some people claim. As for Ace not hitting every single solo 100%, wasn't expecting him too, he wasn't the most precise guitarist in the 70's so why would I be expecting it all of a sudden? He may have flubbed a couple notes but it didn't bother me at all, if you're looking for precision musicianship in a live group you're looking at the wrong band. Besides, Ace's fuck-ups also didn't derail a concert as badly as some people like to think.gshaller wrote:Anomaly, do you scrutinize reunion era concerts as much?

Paul's vocals are a lot more jarring than any mistakes Ace and Peter made in 1996. (Or Paul and Gene for that matter)

DRC is a song Paul can handle better than some others. It sure as hell isn't great but it could be worse.

Let's just put it this way, in 2009 Paul's voice was just a minor annoyance for me, since then his voice has taken a nosedive South and it'll probably be a bigger distraction. As for Peter missing a couple cues and just keeping time in the Reunion era, didn't bother me one bit because it didn't screw up an entire concert like some people claim. As for Ace not hitting every single solo 100%, wasn't expecting him too, he wasn't the most precise guitarist in the 70's so why would I be expecting it all of a sudden? He may have flubbed a couple notes but it didn't bother me at all, if you're looking for precision musicianship in a live group you're looking at the wrong band. Besides, Ace's fuck-ups also didn't derail a concert as badly as some people like to think.gshaller wrote:Anomaly, do you scrutinize reunion era concerts as much?
Paul's vocals are a lot more jarring than any mistakes Ace and Peter made in 1996. (Or Paul and Gene for that matter)
DRC is a song Paul can handle better than some others. It sure as hell isn't great but it could be worse.

Re: 7/4/12 - Forum, London, England
I really think if you put the haters and the sheep from row at any Kiss concert that everyone would have a great time. London Show seemed to have a great vibe to it. They sound good and everyone seemed to have a great time.gshaller wrote:See, I'm not really talking about making mistakes, or missing notes.Spirited wrote:To be fair, he was asked this.gshaller wrote:So... no?Anomaly wrote:If it sounds bad I'll say it sounds bad.

Hearing this singing coming in over the PA's not going to make me a happy camper, after I go see them, meh I could care less how he does in concert seeing how this year will be my last time seeing them.

I guess it's subjective. Some shit bothers some folks.

I meant his vocals in general, especially at their worst. The clip from Oslo the other night being one example. Jarring. The two from this show, DRC is so so, 100,000 Years is just bad.

To be fair, he was asked this.

If you listen to the clip from tonight you should here a much better recording of the whole band, so that really the reason Paul sounds better, i.e. "They always sound better live quote." Listen to the bands sound from the last 2 shows. Not even close to the same. But do you really think the band sounded like Oslo live, no it was out door and a bad recording.

I don't know. The show looked kinda boring to me. Wasn't there, but they seem a bit tired.

Can't believe it's taken this long for something to show up.

Re: 7/4/12 - Forum, London, England
A quick review of the show..
Was it there best ? Hell No.. But good clean fun was had by all..
We got a full (albeit short) Kiss show with all whistles and bells..
I tell ya.. The end of Black Diamond and Rock And Roll All Nite came close to the infamous Bremen(?) Psycho Circus show..
You'll see when the footage pops up..
Funny stuff.. Makin' Love was in 2 parts.. And 'Hell'.. What's there to say.. Again not their best.. But it was played in a very agrressive way..
I like it... Came close to 'Revenge' Kiss..
At certain points I thought I was in Brazil as 2400 Kiss fans (and yes.. They were all fans.. not much invite/vip who just show up..) started singin' the guitarsolo's..
And what is it with Britain and Crazy Crazy Nights ? When they started that the roof got blown off..
And thanks to Doc for gettin' my wife and son in (without me knowing..)
