I think Kiss have done everything except the Christmas/holiday album. Isn’t it astonishing that there’s been no Kiss Christmas/Kisstmas album? I know it’s not Gene and Paul’s festival, exactly, but a tiny detail like that shouldn’t stop them (it didn’t stop Dylan).
‘Now, you won’t get paid, son, but I’m going to put it in the bank and you’ll get it, and any interest, when I die.’
‘We recorded this back in 1973. When we listened to the playbacks, I looked at (other band member) and he looked at me and we both nodded our heads and agreed: ‘The world just isn’t ready for this, right now.’ So, we left it in the can. Times change, tastes change... (laughs) ....WE change! (Laughs) So, we’ve decided, in 2019, the world is finally ready to hear this....’.
Employing wife/kids into a project for non-talent based reasons. Aren't they Jewish? Not that it stopped Babs, Sammy Davis and a couple others from releasing Christmas albums.

Puppet Show gets top billing over you p.s............................................ Jazz Odyssey!!!
‘We’re re-applying to be the best band in the world again.’ Never were. ‘We’re just going to stick our new album in your music library for free, you lucky people.’ No thanks.
They must have a helluva a great time at soundchecks etc though, dig this Sheila E rap with Mr Starr: On paper, should be a sad show of decline...in reality- awesome!
Because I remembered this from a while back, I googled ‘Beach Boys performed at nursing home’ and found this comment: ‘According to the excellent Beach Boys book by Keith Badman, the Beach Boys played at The King Edward Nurses Home at Leeds General Infirmary on the afternoon of June 8th 1969.’ The BLUE BAMBU ROOM - A Bravenet.com Forum Also- apparently arranged by Jimmy Savile (Jimmy Savile - Wikipedia ) Beat that for career decline!
Just listen to Glittering Prize as one example - then listen to the original and weep. Then listen to any live version before, say, 1986. Weep again. Reflect on the fact they are selling this sub-standard rubbish as a fully priced live album. Weep again. Remember how good they were and why you're a fan. Weep more.
As well as with #1, making it a selling point to play the album live from start to finish during said tour.
