During an appearance at the “KISS Kruise: Landlocked In Vegas” event, KISS manager Doc McGhee discussed the band’s upcoming farewell tour documentary. According to him, the film will offer “a whole different side of KISS.”
McGhee said the following:
“We’ve always tried to capture what we’re doing. We had to do the fly-on-the-wall [approach], because if you don’t, everybody becomes actors, and it gets boring. You have to really find a way, and the only way to do it is to have people with you that you trust that sit there and film you all day long. We did this for five years — we started this [in] ’19 — so it was important to us to not have the usual KISS/WWE kind of thing. KISS is like WWE in a certain way — they’re always on, and all this. We wanted to catch all the moments that were inspiring, that you could see the heart of KISS. It took us a long time, and we have thousands of hours of this stuff. We’ve been editing this for two years to find the right thing, and I think we’ve got a great mix. I think when you see it, you’ll see a whole different side of KISS than what we’re used to seeing. You’ll see that tie together. I think it will be a great ride that will then bring us into the biopic [the forthcoming feature film ‘Shout It Out Loud’], and then into the avatar show. I think right now we have the tentpoles set up to set us up for the future.”
He went on to say release plans are still pending:
“One thing we’ve always tried to do is, we don’t release anything until it’s right. Whether it’s the avatar show [or whatever], if it takes longer, it takes longer. If this takes longer, it takes longer. If the movie takes longer… we’ve been doing this movie for seven years. We don’t need to make a movie, and we don’t need to make a documentary. We need to make a phenomenal [documentary], a phenomenal avatar show and the best movie out there, and I think we have the best team to do it.”
He also added that the documentary, avatar show, and biopic will keep the band alive for years:
“In today’s world, the technology that we have, with the team of people we’ve assembled, it actually, where I thought I was starting to slow down, I’m just working a lot harder. I believe that what we have at our fingertips to give to the world as far as KISS is concerned is going to go on way beyond all of us.”
