Well i agree and do not agree, some farewell album could be good, but then again good album, not just album... Maybe old studio outtakes if thete are.

Are there people that look forward to Kiss to create new music?

Me if it's good as last 3 albums and 70s

True. It doesn't matter if classic bands write even better material. Ppl will always find the old songs better, simply because of nostalgia. If they innovate, they lose because they won't sound as they did. If they write something on the same line, they are copying themselves. It's a lose-lose situation. They better of just grabing the fat cash on reissuing and touring instead.

as good as the 70s?! OMG, you are naïve.
Last 3 albums were nothing special.

There's a definitely a nostalgia bias in music. New music gets criticized the way old music gets seldom does because of memories.

true, but still there are older bands and musicians that still deliver good music in their later days, much more interesting than Kiss.

Very well said. Hey! If the well is dry it's dry. I get that's not what he's stating on here but it can be applied to a lot of Metal bands. Metallica, Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, In Flames, etc ...

I fully agree with the guy. Honestly it's best to admit this, I guess even with their egos after 50 years of playing they are done pretending.

I love how Kiss was basically 4 dudes with diverse and troubled backgrounds, 2 of them being ugly as fuck, created their own rock and roll concept, and went to become one of the biggest rock bands in history. Hats off to them, I hope I can catch them in concert again before the inevitable.

The issue in this case is that KISS, after the early days, was never a band so much as an enterprise. Ace Frehley can do whatever he likes as a solo artist, because he's a musician; KISS is a business, and there isn't much room for experimentation in a business. As Karlabos said, there isn't really a sound way for KISS to start getting artistic on us.

I laugh because I know that any new KISS album would sound very much like any old KISS album but more lethargic, less vital, and even less interesting than they already were, so I don't think we're being deprived of much. Stanley does raise a point about legacy acts in similar positions, and I'm sure that that can be a frustrating situation to find yourself in if you do still have the urge to make new music, but then I suppose the solution is simply not to allow yourself to become a "legacy act" in the first place. KISS have released two albums in the last 20 years, and they were not exactly revelatory. There are plenty of bands with careers of equal or similar duration who do not have a problem with new material being accepted by fans; there are obviously numerous factors that contribute to fan reaction, but I don't think KISS was ever the type of band to hold itself forth as being driven entirely by music.
