    I was already confused for the Abba digital concert and with Kiss I’m still confused. What do they mean by avatar and why would I go to a “concert” of a prerendered game sequence instead of watching a video of the original band on YouTube at home?

      It wouldn’t necessarily be prerendered; they could do gigs in VRChat for an example. It would take some effort and money, but they’ve got money and they could pay someone else to put in the effort so that all they have to do is strap on some fbt trackers and grab a guitar that’s been modified with fret sensors and then play concerts from their living rooms.

      Edit: I should have finished reading the article first and gave them more credit than I should have. It sounds like it’s the whole “”“hologram”“” thing but at a distance?

      Because the audio quality would be really good?

      There’s already tons of concerts that are done virtual…

      I mean to be fair, if it’s been 50 years it’s probably becoming a lot more difficult for them to do concerts anyway

    I might be interested if they had Ace Frehley and Peter Criss avatars instead of their replacements.

    after 50 years of Kiss, the band is now interested in a kind of digital immortality.

    …This feels like a punishment…

      Lol. This is the most “Kiss” thing they could do. Of anyone who would try to make a band of avatars to take over, kiss would be my most ex0ected to do so.
