To me it looks like all the shots of Eric are cut in from a completely different source. My guess is that they filmed Eric separately and spliced it together with old Kiss footage, probably from '79. (Similar to how they did the shots of Stevie Nicks in the Tango In The Night live video on a completely different day)
latest Paul and Gene musings on Farewell Other recent Vault Experience guest stars have also included fellow Kiss henchmen, including co-founder Paul Stanley and former drummer Peter Criss. Simmons’ recent welcome mat for Criss and former guitarist Ace Frehley (who will open up several Gene Simmons Band dates in Australia this year) after a long estrangement have had many fans wondering if fences are being mended for an upcoming farewell tour. The fact that Kiss Catalog Ltd., which owns the band’s intellectual property, filed a trademark application to register “The End Of the Road” under the umbrella of live performances also has the rumor mill turning. “There will be one at some point,” admits Simmons. “We can’t keep doing this forever. We are the hardest-working band in show business. If Jagger stepped into my Dragon Boots he couldn’t last a half hour.” More importantly, Simmons says, the band “doesn’t want to stay on stage a day longer than when we feel valid. … Remember we introduced ourselves as ‘When you wanted the best you got the best, the hottest band in the world.’ Not we ‘used to be’ the best.” Though for now there have been no final announcements Though KISS only has a handful of shows scheduled currently, there’s a tour in the works. This according to band frontman Paul Stanley, who took a moment to talk to ABC Radio while walking the red carpet earlier this week at the ASCAP Pop Music Awards in L.A. Stanley, who paints in his spare time, said that in addition to the “bunch of art shows” he has scheduled, “KISS [will] do a world tour starting in January, I think.” A source close to the band confirms to ABC Radio that KISS is, in fact, putting together a major tour, which is expected to extend well beyond 2019.
KISS planning major world tour, says Paul Stanley KISS' currently scheduled dates are as follows: 7/7 -- Barcelona, SP, Barcelona Rock Fest 7/8 -- Madrid, SP, Wizink Center 7/10 -- Lisbon, PT, Estadio Municipal de Oeiras 7/12 -- Cordoba, SP, Plaza de Toros 7/14 -- Viverio, SP, Resurrection Festival
It looks like Gene has said "I'm taking most of the year to do my Vault tour" Which is fine...I wish they would regroup with a new KISS album before embarking on another world tour.
Paul has been very vague on the idea of a new album, I don't think they're interested in doing one. 2019 will be the 45th Anniversary of their debut album and probably the anchor for a celebration of all things KISS as they wrap things up as a live band. I'd like to see them do some proper archive releases but I'm not holding my breath.
They really nailed a lot of that with dead-on observations...out of the mouths of babes, right? Best line? "That hair is...questionable." Be warned - these "Kids React to..." videos are a bit of a rabbit hole...
