The costumes and the outrageous makeup allow us to forget a little the weight of the years, for 2 hours the members of Kiss offer their audience the last show they are waiting for: hard rock, pyrotechnic effects and, more importantly, the opportunity to reconnect with their lost youth.
At the age of 70 and with several hip operations under their belt, the musicians are hanging up…
“ People ask us, but what are you going to do? But the group is not going to stop! The group doesn’t belong to us, it belongs to everyone, that’s why we came to see you, to live forever! »
In a promotional video, Kiss explains having collaborated with George Lucas’ special effects company to be reborn in the form of avatars. Younger copies, endowed with superpowers, and which will above all be able to tour forever and even why not in several cities at the same time. Avatars animated by artificial intelligence for an experience “ unique to each concert » swears its promoter.
Thus ends the story of a group who sang “ God gave you rock and roll, if you want to sing or play the guitar, man, you gotta sweat or you won’t get far “.
