October 13, 2011, 13 years ago
The first-ever KISS Kruise launched in style this afternoon from Miami with a non-makeup unplugged KISS sail-away concert. Over 2500 KISS Army members became inaugural members of the KISS Navy.
Here are some photos of the KISS crew setting up on the Lido Deck for today's unplugged, non-makeup concert and Q&A.;
The live and unplugged non-makeup set aboard the KISS Kruise featured a mix of KISS classics, songs that haven't been dusted off in a few years, and attempts at extreme rarities:
'Hotter Than Hell'
'Calling Dr. Love'
'Sure Know Something'
'Christine Sixteen'
'Do You Love Me?'
'Shandi'
'I Love It Loud'
'Forever'
'See You Tonite'
'Black Diamond'
'Hard Luck Woman' (Paul Stanley lead vocals)
'Beth' (Eric Singer lead vocals)
'Every Time I Look At You'
'Just A Boy' / 'I' / 'Mr. Blackwell' (partial songs performed as an Elder medley)
'Anything For My Baby' / 'Two Timer' (songs attempted then aborted)
'C'Mon And Love Me'

When speaking to USA Today about the KISS Kruise, Gene Simmons commented, "The KISS Kruise is a chance for all of us - the band and the fans - to have a ball. Just let your hair down and not worry about it at all. KISS has always been about breaking the rules. We’ve never liked that moat - the stage - separating the band from the fans. So whenever we do a show, we try to take the action right to your face. A cruise will let the fans get up close. We try to take it inside you, we want you to smell it and taste it and feel it."
