Do We Really Need An ALIVE IV?
By: Jeff

Do we really need an ALIVE IV? I mean do we need another 'OFFICIAL' KISS album with the SAME songs? Who is needing or wanting this? Gene has been bragging a lot lately about the amount of gold and platinum records KISS has acquired and how they are only behind the BEATLES in this, but how many of these contain ORIGINAL material? ALIVE IV would only be a combination of ALIVE I, II, and III with the addition of a song or two and is this what we as the ARMY want? I think its a real shame that in '96 that KISS once again had the world's attention, but has since chosen to put out a subpar product. THREE greatest hits packages, rereleasing an already existing catalog, PSYCHO CIRCUS with studio musicians, and now we may get to see another ALIVE album with more of the same (don't let me get started on the GOD-awful merchandise).How much more money do they need to further whore out the same old thing,and how bad do we need (or want) the same old thing? I'm really sad to see them go (believe me), but the HOTTEST BAND IN THE LAND that I always thought would go out with a BANG is going out more with a CHA-CHING. What a waste.
