According to a report by Variety, KISS made some changes to their lyrics and cut bassist Gene Simmons' blood-spitting routine from their New Year's Eve livestream show from the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai. The band replaced the phrase "virgin soul" in "God of Thunder" to "sacred soul", and also removed the word  "bitch" from "100,000 Years".

Dubai is known to be conservative about epithets that might not raise an eyebrow in North America. Anything seen as a profanity or other bad language can be labeled as an obscene act, and offenders can be fined as much as Dhs 10,000 ($2,700 US) or jailed. Saying the word "fuck" is a crime in Dubai, as it "disgraces the honor or the modesty" of a person, according to Article 373 of the UAE Penal Code.
