KISS Kruise in Vegas - Now I'm Mad

KISS Cruise Vegas?! Robert & Gary React to the Landlocked Madness

Description:
What started as "KISS Army Storms Vegas" has suddenly been rebranded to... KISS Cruise 12 – Landlocked in Vegas? 🎭 In this episode, Robert John Hadfield and Gary Casella dive deep into the strange evolution of KISS’s Vegas event, question the marketing logic, and break down the tiers, packages, performers, and notable omissions (Where’s Bruce? Where’s Eric?).

From sarcastic commentary to serious fan frustration, this breakdown has it all. Is this a must-attend mega event or a glorified cash grab with extra glitter? And why is Peter Criss the cheapest package?! 💸🐱
