The final tour - it’s become something of a misnomer. After all, the truly devoted will have had several years and many opportunities to attend by the time the Kiss' End of the Road tour is finished. And there was the Kiss Farewell Tour before that too.
But it’s fitting for a band who have never taken themselves too seriously. After all, it’s hard to pout in a full face of makeup, leather pants and seven-inch platforms.
That said, Kiss certainly take rock ‘n’ roll seriously. And I don’t mean in the way Royal Blood famously took rock ‘n’ roll seriously by throwing a tantrum and storming off stage at Radio 1's Big Weekend last month. I mean in the massive hair, guitars-as-penis-extensions, classic rock sort of way. All the better for it, I say.
