So the primary purpose of this trip has been accomplished. KISS at MSG for their last show ever as they now turn into digital versions of themselves.
So KISS 2.0 is digital, not other people with talent taking over touring. Let's see how that goes.

Re: new promo clip
It's early days. Who can tell if any of this will be released in any way shape for form.
You're right Dino, Vinnie thinks the first album is a masterpiece. I can't imagine what he's thinking by adding it to his re-recording schedule. It won't be anywhere near as good.

Re: That time of year
Sorry man, just not something I want to hear. The bar is set very high on those albums, on all fronts. I could handle a pro cover, like Mike Weeks did on that tribute album, and I guess most of the others on there. This just held no interest for me.
I hope Faysal's stuff has not disappeared.

The limited playing we have seen of Vinnie does not tell me he can play like before. He can play directionless fast stuff which impresses some people, but the rest of us are bored very quickly. This is not the Vinnie of old. So him concentrating on the solos is not something I can see happening as h...

Re: That time of year
Once that guy started singing I had heard enough.
An audition huh? Were people doing this randomly or was there a call out?
I thought Faysal just did his video randomly and it caught Vinnie's attention.

Oooooh, you're right, and you've got me worried. What constitues a show? A bearded lady is a show. Vinnie promised us "the show of shows" (borrowing heavily from 70's era KISS) just before Creatures Fest, and then delivered something that fell far short of the mark. So there is a lot of scope there,...

But, but, but, it was ready so long ago we were told, and going to press a long time ago, we were told.
Now we are being told something else.
It's like a very long and very slow con.
But for what, to keep the fans without any logic circuits interested?

Yes, some people have no concept of logic and that kind of thinking reminds me of Vinnie's thinking, and therefore reminds me of his one and only post here, as SuzieQ. Accusing us of abonding Vinnie, when he threw us out, with no explaination. What else were we to do? So funny. https://vvforums.com/...

Paid meet and greets aren't the best at all, though this seems to have ended up a little bit different, and there is surely more to the story.
