KISS "Destroyer" Box Set with Blu-Ray (Steven Wilson 5.1 & Dolby Atmos mixes out soon!)

[musicmemorabiliashoppellc]

Wow. This could be awesome but I will never know unless they can get this closer to $99. Five discs for $200 is just waaay too much. I do like this career defining album, it was one of the core albums of my early teen years. But $200.... who do they think they are, The Beatles?

If it were just the 4 discs and Blu Ray without all the other BS it would be under $100 but Gene and his MARKETING MACHINE is just so GREEDY

Well I guess you were wrong on the mix Steve Wilson was doing for an American band…

Pretty sure this isn't it. Didn't he say it was from the '90s?

I’ll take the Blu Ray only if it ever becomes available, without all the extras gladly

 

[gloco]

I'm in once it drops to $100.

What's next for SW? "Blondes have more fun"?

 

[musicmemorabiliashoppellc]

Ok so will we be seeing this next from Steven Wilson?

WOW!! For just double that you can even now get the UBER Locked N Loaded set for $399, now tell me that’s not a better deal

Yeah, Simmons is the ultimate shill/huckster. I have no interest in any of the "extra" crap. I know that is there for the die-hard Kiss fan that, most likely, could not care less about the 5.1 mix. We are on the wrong side of the demographic for this release. Maybe we will get lucky and they will drop it significantly. Just get me close to that magic $99.

If the blu-ray is offered by itself ($20 or less), I might consider getting it, otherwise I have no interest. Not much of a Kiss fan at all

That's right he did.

Well in 1976 when this was released I was 18-19 (hair half way down my back), and I saw Kiss as a bunch of make-up wearing tw*ts, playing 'cod' rock!!

Roll-on 33 years, its 2009, I'm 52 (no hair left), and I hear a track on Planet Rock (UK DAB radio station) I think this is a bit of good hard rock, wonder who it is?

Look on the radio LCD panel and .....
....................... yes it was Kiss, I went out and bought the 'Sonic Boom' album, which also came with a brilliant Bonus album of Kiss 'Klassics'.

So I got hooked on Kiss a bit late
I won't pay £200 for it, the price will need to be quite a bit lower, if it is available as a CD/BD combo I'll definitely get it.

 

[kap'n krunch]

well, the $200 price tag sounds just right (for Kiss super fans, which I WAS back then) and all the extra shit I totally understand cause it's KISS...
Now , of course, having loved them, hated them butstilladmiring them for their persistence regarding giving you a how that's deifinitely worth your money, this DEFINITELY comes out of left field...
No, I do NOT have basically ANY money now but if I did , I'd wait for the price to go down.
Hopefully things will get better and I WILL have the dough and , even though Destroyer is not on my top ten list of Kiss albums (yes, I am a MaryMaryquitecontrary), having a SW mix of this is a welcome surprise.
(only time I saw them was in the REUNION tour in Madrid in June 1997 and I loved it, ISTILL have the LPs I bought back in the 70s and STILL admire them...yes, Chiam might ba an ASSHOLE but at least HE knows it)

I'm thinking we should move this to the "You've gotta be f----n kidding me!" thread.

All I can do is shake my head. My first reaction to this thread was, "YES!". My second was, "Oh, wait... It's Kiss. It'll be WAY overpriced." Then I saw the post with the price tag and just laughed out loud.

 

[skherbeck]

Not a big Kiss fan, but I saw them on their 2000 “Farewell” Tour, lol… I’m sure I’ll be a bigger fan after hearing them in 5.1 mixed by Steven Wilson!

 

[edisonbaggins]

That's right he did.

Pretty sure that, on some podcast or such, he confirmed UYI I&II

 

[quicksrt]

Is the live '76 disc any good? Ever been booted or known as a hot set?

This is great news that SW has branched out to a hard rock act, and A-List seller. Not my favorite KISS album but it's a good direction to be going in.

 

[Juggsnelson]

What's next for SW? "Blondes have more fun"?

I wish!

 

[musicmemorabiliashoppellc]

I wish!

Probably GnR UYI 1&2

 

[Infomas]

Sorry. I can't imagine being in a room surrounded by them. The better the SW mix, the more I'd be terrified. Met Gene once at the Roxy. I think he even scared Minnie Driver away that night. Arrogant F**k. Okay, so I was never a fan. It was always so obviously about money. Hell, they brought in Bob Ezrin who could make anyone look good back then and of course he got them their biggest charting album. I wish they would call me and say, "We'll give you $200 to take the album", so I could say: Nah... I can't afford it. No judgement on anyone here. I used to sing along to Sugar Sugar when I was young.
