They were excellent! It wasn’t a KISS show, though. Not that there’s anything wrong with that!

Heard they have a new album, but haven’t heard it yet.

Let’s face it, they have a lot more money to put up on the stage as far as production is concerned.

Has KISS not “matured” musically? That’s arguable in a lot of different directions. KISS has tried on a few albums in the past to update their sound and the general public just didn’t buy it. When they stick to their formula, it sells well.

I fully agree with your statement that KISS/Gene fumbled the ball with how they handled ACE. They could’ve done much more to keep him happy, keep him sober and keep him in the band. The band would’ve been much better creatively for it. Unfortunately it appears that Gene and Paul have control issues and giant egos. They are much happier to have “yes men” who do what they are told.

My only rebuttal to you would be, has Priest significantly changed their sound since their 80s heyday? I don’t think so. Modern production, sure…but different? I don’t really think so. Don’t get me wrong, I like them. Their music is great.

Now, if you want to talk about a band that has really matured, how about HANSON?!?!

What? CLEARLY you don’t fully comprehend the words you just typed on the page. I will give you that KISS was the “creator” of the over-the-top rock show. But come on, the 70′s rock that they continue to churn out is adolescent, even if there are smoke bombs, fire cannons and lasers going off all over the place. Priest can bring all of that PLUS give the audience a true, cut you to the core, METAL sound that will hit you in the gut and smack your brain about. I grew up on KISS (and they were the ONLY band I listened to up until the Dynasty album–I still give them a listen on occasion). But face it, their music hasn’t matured. It is the same riffs, same storylines, same makeup, etc. Nothing new.

By the way, booting ACE was the stupidest thing Gene could have done. He was their ONLY “true” musician. ACE rules!!

Yes. And Don Dokken wanted to call his solo band “Dokken” but the other three members wouldn’t release their rights to the name…so his solo band went by “Don Dokken”.
