KISS<\/b>\u00a0frontman\u00a0Paul Stanley<\/b>\u00a0says that he knows he “will sound great” on the band’s upcoming farewell tour.<\/p>\n

When\u00a0KISS<\/b>\u00a0kicked off its European tour in July in Barcelona, Spain, a number of\u00a0YouTube<\/b>videos surfaced online of\u00a0Stanley<\/b>\u00a0clearly struggling to hit the high notes in many of the band’s classic songs. This prompted renewed calls for the group to finally call it quits, with some\u00a0KISS<\/b>detractors insisting that\u00a0Paul<\/b>\u00a0hasn’t been able to deliver the band’s material with conviction for many years.<\/p>\n

Stanley<\/b>\u00a0spoke about his vocal issues during a brand new interview with Australia’s\u00a0Herald Sun<\/a>, saying: “If anyone wants to hear me sound like I did on (1975’s)\u00a0‘Kiss Alive!’, then put on\u00a0<\/b>‘Kiss Alive!’<\/b>\u00a0It would be absurd. Of course your voice changes. Any athlete’s body changes. Any singer’s voice changes. The naysayers and the scrooges will find the video of you falling on your ass, that’s the one they’ll post. But when you’re playing to between 20,000 to 60,000 fans a night and beginning and ending a show with an audience going crazy, I’m not really that concerned with the sceptics.<\/p>\n

“I’m in the same boat a lot of people are,” he added. “I see singers around my age and we talk about it. The difference could be many bands have a singer where you go, ‘Well, he sounds really good,’ but so does the keyboard player singing along with him. Or the person singing off stage.\u00a0KISS<\/b>\u00a0have never done that.<\/p>\n

“I understand there’s people who tend to spout negativity, but they’re in the vast, vast, vast minority. I will do everything in my power and I know that I will sound great on this tour. That is not delusional. I don’t look the same as I did at the beginning of the band, nobody looks the same today as they did decades ago, but it’s all about degree. But there are realities, of course.”<\/p>\n

Stanley<\/b>\u00a0also confirmed there are no plans for\u00a0KISS<\/b>\u00a0to make new music to go along with the\u00a0“End Of The Road”<\/b>\u00a0tour. “I don’t think there’s any reason to record at this point. You’re up against your past. Your past is much larger and more potent than the quality of your songs. It’s about songs that had a moment in somebody’s life, that’s where the power comes. It’s a photograph of a certain moment for somebody. Whether [it’s] us or\u00a0THE [ROLLING] STONES<\/b>or any classic band, when people say, ‘Why don’t you do a new album?’ they have no intention of wanting to hear it. They may tolerate a new song or two. But don’t kid yourself, when\u00a0THE STONES<\/b>\u00a0put out a new album, someone will say, ‘That’s terrific, now play\u00a0‘Brown Sugar’<\/b>.’ It’s the nature of the beast. I’d rather go out and celebrate our glories and not hunker down in the studio to do an album which, understandably, will never receive the embracing that earlier ones do.”<\/p>\n

He added: “If you put on a live concert of any of the classic bands and turn off the sound, I could tell you every time they’re playing a new song because the audience sits down. People really don’t want to hear those new songs live.”<\/p>\n

In September,\u00a0KISS<\/b>\u00a0announced its\u00a0“End Of The Road”<\/b>\u00a0farewell tour on\u00a0NBC<\/b>‘s\u00a0“America’s Got Talent”<\/b>, and two weeks ago, the band revealed the first set of dates and cities in North America, produced by\u00a0Live Nation<\/b>. International markets were announced simultaneously.<\/p>\n

The North American leg of\u00a0“End Of The Road”<\/b>\u00a0will launch January 31 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada at Rogers Arena and will hit an additional 43 cities.<\/p>\n

AS soon as Kiss announced their farewell tour, frontman Paul Stanley knew there would be cynics.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Because The End of the Road tour, starting next year, is actually Kiss\u2019s second goodbye.<\/p>\n

The original Kiss line-up reformed for a farewell tour that ran from 2000 to 2001, but lost drummer Peter Criss before it finished and guitarist Ace Frehley soon after.<\/p>\n

Stanley and fellow co-founder Gene Simmons would later state Criss and Frehley\u2019s playing skills meant they weren\u2019t especially proud of the reformation tour musically, even if it was the line-up the fans wanted to see.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first farewell tour was almost 19 years ago,\u201d Stanley says. \u201cCynics be damned. Those people will always find something to say. That (reformed) line-up of the band was dysfunctional. People in the band weren\u2019t showing respect to the fans or the band itself. We decided to put the horse down. The truth is we\u2019ve carried on for 19 years (since the first farewell) because we realized people still wanted to see Kiss, we just had to have a tire change.\u201d<\/p>\n

For this farewell tour, dubbed The End of the Road, Kiss will again be Stanley, Simmons and \u201cnew boys\u201d Tommy Thayer (15 years in the band) and Eric Singer (27 years).<\/p>\n

Stanley insists this\u00a0will<\/em>\u00a0be it, despite bands regularly receiving raised eyebrows when they announce they\u2019re splitting for good \u2014 Motley Crue had to sign a pact in public to prove to fans that their final tour was indeed the last goodbye.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot to take away from anybody else, but you can make up any piece of paper that makes people believe one thing or another,\u201d Stanley says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all about your intent. We\u2019ve been thinking about how to do this for a while. With the band being really in top form and getting on terrifically, it\u2019s time to take a victory lap. We made the conscious decision that this is it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stanley, 66, says Kiss have strategically planned their exit. Dates for The End of the Road have so far announced been announced for all of 2019, but they\u2019ll potentially tour for up to three years.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a big world,\u201d Stanley explains. \u201cWe want to go out and celebrate with every country and every city that we\u2019ve been to and that will take some time. We planned this. We\u2019re not getting any younger. If we were playing some rock and roll songs wearing blue jeans and T-shirts we could do this into our 90s. But we\u2019re wearing 40 or 50 pounds (18 to 22kgs) of gear, running around on stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m 66. People half my age probably wish they were in the same shape. But there\u2019s no beating the clock. You can\u2019t. There are no 60-year-old footballers or basketball players or track runners. Your body can\u2019t take that. At this point we are facing the inevitable and want to do it in the best way possible. We want to do it while we feel great as opposed to letting things deteriorate.<\/p>\n

\u201cForget about a typical rock band, we\u2019re so much more than a rock band. This is the greatest show we\u2019ve ever put together. It\u2019s a completely different stage, a completely new technology. We\u2019re not one of those bands who does a farewell tour because we can\u2019t do it anymore. This will be the ultimate Kiss show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Part of the band\u2019s manifesto as they head out one last time is celebrate the success they have achieved despite the critics who always wrote them off. As much as the internet has given the Kiss Army a new platform to rally the troops, there are also plenty of Kiss haters online.<\/p>\n

Decades of jumping around on stage in heavy boots may have taken its toll on Stanley\u2019s hips (he\u2019s had both replaced), but some voices online are more concerned with the impact age has had on his voice, posting unflattering concert videos to back their claims.<\/p>\n

During his Australian solo tour this year, bandmate Simmons even mocked the Stanley \u201closing his voice\u201d. (Stanley was quick to point out Simmons was struggling to sell tickets to his concerts.)<\/p>\n

\u201cIf anyone wants to hear me sound like I did on (1975\u2019s)\u00a0Kiss Alive!<\/em>\u00a0then put on\u00a0Kiss Alive!<\/em>\u201d Stanley says. \u201cIt would be absurd. Of course your voice changes. Any athlete\u2019s body changes. Any singer\u2019s voice changes. The naysayers and the scrooges will find the video of you falling on your ass, that\u2019s the one they\u2019ll post. But when you\u2019re playing to between 20,000 to 60,000 fans a night and beginning and ending a show with an audience going crazy, I\u2019m not really that concerned with the sceptics.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m in the same boat a lot of people are,\u201d he adds. \u201cI see singers around my age and we talk about it. The difference could be many bands have a singer where you go \u2018Well he sounds really good\u2019 but, so does the keyboard player singing along with him. Or the person singing off stage. Kiss have never done that.<\/p>\n

\u201cI understand there\u2019s people who tend to spout negativity but they\u2019re in the vast, vast, vast minority. I will do everything in my power and I know that I will sound great on this tour. That is not delusional. I don\u2019t look the same as I did at the beginning of the band, nobody looks the same today as they did decades ago, but it\u2019s all about degree. But there are realities of course.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stanley \u2014 who is also an accomplished painter \u2014 says there are no plans to keep making new music once the final curtain goes down on Kiss\u2019s live career.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there\u2019s any reason to record at this point. You\u2019re up against your past. Your past is much larger and more potent than the quality of your songs. It\u2019s about songs that had a moment in somebody\u2019s life, that\u2019s where the power comes. It\u2019s a photograph of a certain moment for somebody.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether or us or the Stones or any classic band, when people say, \u2018Why don\u2019t you do a new album?\u2019 they have no intention of wanting to hear it. They may tolerate a new song or two. But don\u2019t kid yourself, when the (Rolling) Stones put out a new album someone will say, \u2018That\u2019s terrific, now play\u00a0Brown Sugar<\/em>\u2019. It\u2019s the nature of the beast. I\u2019d rather go out and celebrate our glories and not hunker down in the studio to do an album which, understandably, will never receive the embracing that earlier ones do.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you put on a live concert of any of the classic bands and turn off the sound, I could tell you every time they\u2019re playing a new song because the audience sits down. People really don\u2019t want to hear those new songs live.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a different world Kiss will be saying goodbye to. The sexual metaphors in their lyrics would be hard for a new act to get away with, while even notorious pantsman Simmons has finally opted for marriage rather than salaciously reliving stories of the thousands of women he bedded over the years.<\/p>\n

Indeed, on Andrew Denton\u2019s\u00a0Interview<\/em>\u00a0this year Simmons, 69, declared that, looking back on his behaviour through the #MeToo prism, he\u2019d been \u201can arrogant and sexist pig\u201d.<\/p>\n

The two Kiss originals are very different personalities \u2014 they\u2019ve clashed many times in recent years, most recently over Simmons\u2019 unsympathetic views on the death of Prince and drug victims. However, Stanley and Simmons will go out as they came in \u2014 as friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Gene most people know is a self-created commodity for the media,\u201d Stanley admits. \u201cHe\u2019ll say all kinds of things. That\u2019s who he is. He likes to stir things up, he likes to have soundbites. I can\u2019t address anything other than to say we\u2019ve been together 50 years at this point. We have an unbreakable bond and an appreciation for each other that goes far beyond what most people are fortunate enough to have.\u201d<\/p>\n
