Kiss, again, is criticized in networks for charging the amount of 750 dollars for a photo.
In addition, the quartet has been severely criticized for placing a glass to avoid direct contact with people.
Kiss is currently on tour, which will be, in theory, the last of his artistic career.
Kiss, the legendary rock group, has gone viral because, at a meet & greet, he charged $750 for a photo taken.
The group led by Paul Stanley and Gene SimmonsKiss, who are the only original members that still remain in the band, is about to celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2023, although, at the moment, they are on what is apparently their farewell tour.
We are speaking, of course, of a group that, throughout its journey, has managed to consolidate itself in the public’s taste, but, on several occasions, the opposite has happened, since the band is frequently cataloged as only thinking about money before than in the fans.
In spite of everything, his legion of fans, classified as “Kiss Army”, is immense and this can be verified with the sale of his records, the sale of tickets for his concerts and the income they generate with all the merchandise they usually sell in their online store.
In addition, one of their biggest hallmarks is the show they offer at their recitals, especially by the group’s bassist and founder, Gene Simmons, who was heavily criticized for the reality show he launched about his family life.
Kiss charges $750 for a photo
However, once again, the quartet generates controversy to such an extent that, on social networks, it has gone viral and they do not stop criticizing them.
The reason? According to the official version, Kiss organized a meet & greet with part of the “Kiss Army”; However, a “detail” that caught the attention was the fact that, for the photograph, the group placed a glass base so as not to have direct contact with the fans.
Now, another detail that did not sit well with Internet users was that, for each photo, fans were charged the amount of 750 dollars.
According to what has been disclosed, the reason why the glass was placed was as a preventive measure against Covid-19, since some of its members are already around 70 years old, which is why it was it knows them as part of the vulnerable society and with less chance of surviving in case they contract the virus.
On the other hand, since the quartet is immersed in its last tour, The End of the Road World Tour, It seems that there are some fans who pay anything to have a photo with their favorite band... up to $750 for a single photo and in which, in addition, there is a glass in the middle that avoids direct contact between people.
For some of their fans, in fact, this is normal (the fact of charging for a photo), because, as we mentioned at the beginning, Kiss is known, in addition to its music, for being a group that thinks more, above all, on money before his followers.
Besides, there are users who claim that those who take the photos are not even the original members of the bandwhich has unleashed all kinds of accusations.
What has been clear for many years is that Kiss, above being a rock band, is a brand, which generates a lot of income; the members, Gene Simmons in particular, have been able to exploit it for the sake of making money.
