Been to a Kiss concert where they were playing in their standard Eb tuning and then again a few years later when they went another step down to help Paul Stanley. Worst sounding performance I ever heard - and it wasn't the mix.
When was the last time the band did back to back extensive USA tours? I get the feeling a lot of people are going to be highly disappointed next year. I'm sticking with the USA only getting 10 shows in the bigger markets and more South American shows.
I know it matters, I'm also a musician. What I'm telling you is that it doesn't matter all that much in the sense that the melody line will still be the same, only slightly down tuned, he will be able to do it more comfortably. All the training is applied here anyway.
Actually, they are 4 songs - Sign Of The Cross, Trooper, Clansman and Run To The Hills.
Off the top of my head... 91-92? Don't think Ed Hunter or TBoS 2016 would count.
If that’s the case the closest they might play near me would be Ft. Lauderdale. Hopefully I could make that trek
2016 there was only stops in 8 US cities. They havnt done extensive back to back in the entire time Bruce has returned there pattern is usually one extensive and one with select shows. There NA tour will be pretty brief next year for sure.
People automatically assumed Bruce mentioning smaller venues = theaters and that will not be the case they will never be a theater band again.
I think there's yet another layer of misquoting here and what Bruce actually said was a tour in smaller scale, as in less dates but not necessarily saying anything about the size of the venues. So essentially a normal album tour rather than the massive TBOS trek where they were ultimately trying to recoup from losses incurred from not touring in 2015.
I don't know. I think they'll book dates for the next year at the end of this year and maybe it'll be similar to TBOS tour: first leg 2023. february - august, second leg 2024. april - july. I'm saying this based on what I could hear from Zagreb show and yesterday's show - all though some minuses, they really don't sound like a band that is retiring... Yet... We'll see, maybe they totally mess something up by the end of this tour (I hope they don't), so there can't be anymore 100+-date-long tours...
Live at a Beast Inside Mexico The Legacy During Nights or whatever the hell that album is called seems to be a touch slower on some songs. But my slower it’s more “closer to album speed” than actually slowing down.
They have been much more conservative with tempos since 2012, when Nicko started using a metronome to get a tempo before counting off the song. However, this year Aces High is the slowest it's ever been. Here's my quick analysis.
Maybe more simplistic drum arrangements could save Aces and FOTD and TNOTB? Like on Virtual XI? That way Nicko could play them closer to album speed, and livebit wouldn't sound so awkward?
