KISS going micro???
 


A pic from a KISS show last night. Notice the wall of white cabs is gone and replaced with a handful of smaller amps. Weird. KISS downsizing their backline has to be a sure sign of the coming Apocalypse, no?

You got it all wrong.

Yeah, the end is coming, but KISS isn`t downsizing, they just moved all their REAL backline to the End Of Everything event - gonna be helluva gig :)

Yes,,,, Kiss is going micro and downsizing !!!

Cheers
Davyo

They could have at least put the fake backline up?.

Those're the same amps they've always used. They just didn't put them behind a façade of faux cabs.

The end of times?

WHAT??! How can Gene get HIS tone without (6) 8x10 cabs?? I don't believe it. What the PA is actually carrying the arena, so there stage volume isn't deafening them?? Blasphemy!!

They didn't play "Wall of Sound", I guess it would have been kind of silly without their amps.

It would have costed too much to ship their amps and their egos all the way to Australia so they chose one and pocketed the difference. :p

RCCollins 03-04-2013 07:09 AM

they just needed to make room for more lights and pyropots

I don't think it matters what amps KISS uses does it? At their age they just turn down the hearing aids and put some wig hair in their ears for further SPL reduction.

No. The correct word would have been "Them's" or better, "Them's is"

A lot of good lines, but this so far is the best!

To be fair, Entwistle did use a rig so large that it literally worked without PA support in football stadiums.
But the OX died nearly bankrupt and deaf in a hotel room with a hooker, and Gene has a fleet of private gold sex jets and lives with an ex Playboy centerfold.
