Let's hope Kiss doesn't ever perform again. This video is a train wreck on every level except one.
The production values of the video are top notch. That's it. Everything else is horrible. How many times can they say "New York" or "Yay?" Apparently, hundreds.
The instrument playing is sluggish. Gene Simmons looks like a bloated kabuki performer with his Brillo wig and 600 pound body. At least he can sort of still hold a tune. But that's not saying much since he basically speaks the lyrics.
But then there's Paul Stanley. Sadly, time has not treated him well. He looks like his head is attached directly to his body with no neck. And let's face it: he can't hit the notes. It's actually painful to listen to him when he's singing solo.
There's this other member -- no idea who he is - who plays lead and has a couple guitar solos. Only he keeps missing the notes. I can literally play better than him.
The overall effect is an abject embarrassment.
