Kiss My Ass Tour

The Kiss My Ass Tour was a concert tour by Kiss. In late August, and early September 1994 Kiss toured South America as headliners on the touring Monsters of Rock festival. Following this, the band toured Japan in January 1995 on their own, and in February 1995 they toured Australia for the first time since 1980. The Australian tour was named "The Kiss My Ass Downunder Tour". The stage set used through most of the shows in South America and Australia was similar to the Hot in the Shade Tour stage. It had Leon the Sphinx, the steps around the drum riser, the laser lightshow and parts of the regular lightshow. The band appeared in the mouth of the sphinx after the curtain concealing the stage dropped, as in the Hot in the Shade Tour, but the sphinx didn't sing "God of Thunder" on these short tours, nor did it shoot rockets from its eyes. This was the last tour of the non-makeup era.

In the tour program for the band's final tour, Stanley reflected on the tour:

Doing MTV Unplugged was not really to prove anything to anybody or win converts. It really was us, maybe for ourselves, showing how good these songs are. We did them during the Kiss conventions. So many of those songs were written on acoustic guitars; they were written in a much more simple fashion than they're played. The philosophy has always been, "if it doesn't sound good on one guitar it's a shitty song."[3]

gollark: New esolang: it has one command, α, which is Turing-complete.
gollark: If it stops expanding, I think we would just end up with the same boring heat death "uniform distribution of matter" thing but denser.
