I took some video both nights of the tour in Sydney. The first night I got all of it, the second just a few songs, but I got the two that were different from the previous night, which was cool.

Here's what's up on the Tube so far.

Hotter Than Hell was played in place of Firehouse, which was cool. Notice what Paul says at the end of the song still?

War Machine I filmed again cause it is such a damn cool song, even if Gene does stuff the lyrics up!!! The background animations are also cool.

Cool footage! Paul definitely isn't being smart about his voice though... all that unneeded caterwauling before HTH?! Damn and it's annoying to boot... just TALK to the crowd!

Yes, his days of doing the intro to Heaven's on Fire are LONG gone!!!!

And this is Rock and Roll All Nite!!!

Tommy doing Shock Me. The night before he did to Outta This World, which was pretty good I must say.

Maybe Tommy should rotate both of HIS OWN tunes now.

Ha ha, this has been argued on a KISS Army Facebook post. Kiss have a vast array of tunes and should be able to play any of them as they might want to. I was thinking on the first night that Tommy could do Shock Me justice, and I was right!

He performs it just fine , BUT COME ON ALREADY...

There are other songs that aren't character specific that he could sing .
Have him sing Strange Ways, Almost Human, The Oath ... WHATEVER.

They have become what they promised not to be; Boring and predictable.

It is a shame and a let down that they have so much to work with and utilize so little.

It is kinda odd to think about... a vast catalogue of kick ass music but... hey let's play the same 15 songs over and over, year in, year out.

But it's no secret they cater to the fairweather fan...

and I applaud Eric and Tommy... if it weren't for them probably helping to shake up the set a bit, we'd probably be seeing Rock 'n Roll All Nite played... followed later on by an encore of Rock'n Roll All Nite.

I'd take Tommy's place in a heartbeat and sing Shock Me too. I have before in my Kiss band before I stopped singing lead. They paid me too much to stop!

Shock Me is iconic of the Spaceman, let them play what they play, my daughter enjoyed herself and I enjoyed hearing an old tune.

Paul's voice on the other hand.....there's a reason to call it a day.

The full show from the first night is uploading still.

Some amazing tunes have never been played or only on one tour . You would think kiss only had two or three albums .

Yes! That is absolutely correct!

If they sung more songs, this would happen at 1:50.
