I'm not surprised - this was always the general plan, just that the new tech allows them to do it without paying as many people!

"The KISS show will live on in different ways. Yes, that's being planned. It'll also be four to ten different traveling shows. So, you'll be able to be in Japan and have Japanese actors, musicians being us, and at the same time you could go to Vegas or New York or London."

That'd be great - an audience of avatars too!
I dont go to a rock band to hear the original recording.
I want them to play a version of the song, mix it up, improvise.
Not have it be the same thing over and over.
I've said before that a lot of rock music is more like historical reenactment than an art form.
You know those people who dress up in American revolution outfits and run around a field with a plastic sword.
When music doesn't evolve it goes stale and this is the pinnacle of that.
I can almost understand it with a group like Abba.
But a rock band.. why?
Frank Zappa said something quite profound about audiences, or at least one type of audience:
"Most people can't deal with that abstraction--or don't want to. They say: "Gimme the tune. Do I like this tune? Does it sound like another tune that I like? The more familiar it is, the better I like it. Hear those three notes there? Those are the three notes I can sing along with. I like those notes very, very much. Give me a beat.
Not a fancy one. Give me a GOOD BEAT-something I can dance to. It has to go boom-bap, boom-boom-BAP. If it doesn't, I will hate it very, very much. Also, I want it right away-and then, write me some more songs like that--over and over and over again, because I'm really into music."
This is for that sort of audience.
That is not me.

As you say, the two (or more) approaches are for different sorts of audiences.

For credibility, this was part of a discussion between various British concert promoters regarding the then-current state of UK festival/ large gig ticket sales in Select magazine.
KISS simply aren’t particularly big in the UK, and I suspect this is echoed in other territories.
