I can assure you, Sir, that KISS did not USED to suck live... here is a quick tale of two different shows
Year before last I caught them at the state fair, and yes Paul's voice was completely shot, Gene looked like a tub of goo squeezed into a girdle, Thayer and the drummer in Ace and Peter makeup was such a turnoff... and on top of that it was like they decided to build a show around all of my LEAST favorite songs, it was my 5th and last time seeing them
But I also caught the original 96 reunion in St Louis, and it. ****ing. ROCKED.
IIRC it was the 7th show of that tour, so they were primed, still excited and fresh but had done just enough prior shows to work the kinks out... we were first row risers almost eye level with Ace, it was simply amazing
Paul could still pull off all the screams, Ace was spot on, Criss' arms were ripped, Gene wasn't a fat ****... they sounded and looked like vintage KISS, to this day it's still my favorite concert of all time
