Well if he forgot the lyrics, he should have done what Freddie should have done... make up some new ones!

I think Eric Singer was quite nervous and insecure during this performance. It was the first time he performed this song and probably the first time he performed on front of the stage.
What would have been our reaction if Roger or Brian would have done a track which is one of the best known queen songs but which was not performed in ages, using a teleprompter? Would people be grateful and happy to hear this, or would they bith around the teleprompter? I was quite happy to see queen+PR, allthough Mr. Rodgers needed a teleprompter.
But after all I can easily understand people making fun of KISS, as this is a bit what they are all about : )

Loved the fact that their performance of "Beth"
was a major bitch slap to Peter Criss.
Paul Stanley smiling, thinking "Peter who"?
LOL
They did a good job with the song. That was the first
time "Beth" was sung in tune.
=========================================
Okay, this is going to be a very rare occasion where I talk about KISS seriously as if it's actually a serious subject. Which it's so not. LOL But credit where credit is due - Beth is a good song which has deserved to survive as it has. And that linked "in tune" version was the most souless thing I've ever heard, complete with the souless gestures of a performer who doesn't or can't connect to the material. Zero emotion in a song that lives or dies by it. I'd take ANY nuanced out of tune Peter Criss version that wasn't a complete wreck over that on any day of any week. Complete fail on one of their only songs that actually deserves to be treated with some respect. "Peter who?" my ass, Paul Stanely (who, coincidentally, is also an ass).
"Beth" is nothing but a concert piss break song.
Peter Criss is tone deaf and could never sing
"Beth" in tune.
Paul Stanley fired Peter Criss. Best thing
he ever did for KISS.
That was the best live version of "Beth"
that I've heard. Eric Singer - the better
singer, the better drummer, the better
musician, the better band mate, and
the better person.
End of discussion.

HAHAHAHA. Jeeze. Apart from that... Sounds like everybody enjoyed it. Big crowd response.
No different than Geddy Lee, Paul Rodgers, etc., using
teleprompters on stage.

Apart from Eric (drummer) looking down every 5 seconds... I thought it was a cool performance and crowd response, but hey, that's just my opinion. That kind of things really annoys me. When a singer cannot remember the lyrics or needs something to help them remember. I don't know why. Just feels like they didn't bother to rehearse the words or something. Plus he looks unprofessional. Apart from that, I haven't got anything bad to say about KISS.
That was the first time Eric Singer has ever performed
as a lead singer, front of stage, and not while drumming and
singing at the same time. The more times they perform
the song, the more natural it will be.
BTW, per Eric Singer, they rehearsed "Beth" that same
day at soundcheck and decided to perform it that night
at the last moment. Sounded great and the audience
loved it.

Eric Singer has sung "Beth" before. He sang it a few times
when he did some club gigs with his friends in L.A. There are
some clips of him singing it on Youtube.

I'm not attacking Eric Singer. I'm just saying... It annoyed me to see him looking at the ground every 5 seconds.
That's all.
That's all.

Don't put yourself down like that, micropenis, although you've got a lot to self-loathe about. After all, it's not my fault you're a dumbass and not my fault your favourite band dresses like tranvestites, it's just the truth baby.

Seems as if we get a riot started every time somebody mentions KISS...

============================
Which was it? Were the audience loving it or off peeing? Perhaps you could try to be consisent with yourself on the same thread. Even I know how that song cleaved the KISS Army (LOL) in two over the Eric Carr version. It's a hugely signifcant song for fans and the fact that the audience would predictably swoon and go nuts makes it even more of a joke/slap in the face that they'd pull what they did. And get real, wise up and spit out the Kool-Aid. It was a terrible, wooden, dull performance of that song by a band who will proudly tell anyone they formed a group for the sole purpose of getting laid. And they've been fucking everybody ever since with nonsense like this.

You finally spelled "a lot" properly. Now try working on "Anne", you dumbass cunt.
