I don't really get the configuration here...

NightmareChild · Post by **NightmareChild** » Mon May 01, 2017 1:08 am

What's confusing? LHS is where the stage is being erected. RHS is where the audience will be.

Got to meet Eric near their hotel. He was great, signed everyones stuff, posed for pictures

He's looking old.

Wouldn't the stage be on the tighter end of the stadium? Unless perspective is messing with the dimensions there.

He's now got the 'Kiss' chin look made famous by Stanley/ Simmons face lifts inc.

Bit hard to see exactly what's what there, but looks pretty exciting and new. Can't wait to see the footage/photos pop up over the next couple days!

I'm surprised he was allowed to share that....

Looks like they're doing something with a lift again. The smaller screens hanging overhead are new, probably looks cool if you're on the floor near the stage.

It's hard to see what's happening on stage. The two big KISS logos on either side look like they're steps.

No tank then, that's a shame, still stoked for London though.

At Olympic Stadium in Moscow they obviously cut the venue in half lengthwise, not the usual end stage configuration that we're accustomed to. To each their own. It makes a world more of sense now when looking at the seating map. Now when you look at it you can clearly see the whole venue...just cut in half the other way.

I guess those screens aren't steps after all. I want to see it in HD but so far the stage doesn't look that different from the Vegas iteration.

Thanks for the pre-gig photos.

I'll wait to check out video footage.

Hope everyone who went had a blast !

More Love gun with intro. Struggling.

Thanks for the updates. The crowd seems really into it.

Why in gods name is he doing the singing intro to Love Gun? Oh dear...

Why is he doing the song at all, would be my question.

This is the most baffling thing. He's putting his terrible voice on display there. Why? Is his ego that large? I would feel embarrassed and tired if I had to put myself out there like that.

I'm dreading Crazy Crazy Nights....

Ego is an amazing thing.

thunderwing · Post by **thunderwing** » Mon May 01, 2017 11:01 am

This is beyond nostalgia, he's gambling each and every time he performs with his voice and loses each time. BUT, people still pay to see them... where do you draw the line at integrity??? 1977 apparently. This is why I wont go see them, this is just my personal view, I get it that many, many people still want to. Just because the Kiss logo is out there doesn't mean I have to lap everything up. Maybe when I was 14 yes, not now....

Smekaren · Post by **Smekaren** » Mon May 01, 2017 11:01 am

Still, he's not sounding as bad as he did in 2013. So when I see them on saturday, at least that's a positive. Plus, this stage is cooler too. Boris the Spider was great but this stage, as a whole, is better.

For the first night, he sounds awful. Doesn't bode well. Maybe you can say if it sounds better in situ... would be interesting to know. Funny, I don't like these Vegas type stages. They all look the same as the last.... Much prefer the Spider, had more character and was propbably the best design yet, in my opinion.

sakke72 · Post by **sakke72** » Mon May 01, 2017 11:26 am

The merchandise looks cool, those shirts looks damn awesome. The stage is almost the same as in 2015.. Paul sounds horrible, so everything is fine in KISSworld.

BagBoy · Post by **BagBoy** » Mon May 01, 2017 11:56 am

Cool to see Kiss Performing, the time difference is weird Kiss live before 1pm. And for the ones judging about Paul's voice.

Yes, we get it that his voice isn't what it was back in 1975. Its 42 years later for goodness sake and to judge by a distorted facebook live cellphone view is just super bias.

So the setlist was exactly the same as the Laughlin show? So much for surprises.

Don't be so naive ffs. The days are well gone where you have to just accept whats up there in front of you without question. Even G and P do it so don't feel victimised. We are all allowed our say... that's democracy... I for one can be as outspoken as the band can be.... doesn't mean that overall I'm no longer a fan...I will be for life. Doesn't mean I don't have an opinion.

They can't use that setlist in Moscow because they played it at a casino in Laughlin once?
