Unmasked staging used on Animalize

Post by poserboy71 »

Cool to see the Panthers on Eric's kick drums. Animal print Marshalls and ramps.Staging towards end of video. Cool sound check audio throughout.
Mere months after Vinnie left.

Time frame between Vinnie leaving KISS & the Animalize. Last 'Lick it up' Concert date, March 17, 1984, at Evansville, Indiana USA. Kiss released Animalize on September 13, 1984. Not even 6 months. Might not even be that, as I don't know when Vinnie's final & officially firing from KISS was, so he could go off & 'contemplate his mistakes'...Gene Grins @:00:26'

I got Jesus in my fax machine. I saw Ho Chi Minh down @ Burger King. I dated Vinnie Vincent as a Drag Queen. I still don't understand a f**kin' thing.
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass and I'm all out of bubble gum.

The panther bass drum heads WERE cool, but shouldn't Eric have had fox heads? I mean, c'mon, he WAS the fox and foxes would still fit the "Animalize" theme :?:

Ah, got this on VHS from back in the day. As soon as I heard the ambulance at the start it brought back memories of the 80's!!

Very cool someone is converting it to digital.

Exactly. That would have been a great nod to the make up without looking like they were living off of it in desperation.

Poserboy, right on... just like Gene had a bass with his "demon" face on it during Crazy Nights.
