Take a Backstage Tour of KISS's End of the Road Stage As It's Being Set Up!
KISS posted a 27 minute Facebook Live video of the band's massive stage being set up by crew for the first show of their End of the Road tour in Vancouver tomorrow night. The video was shot by hardworking KISS assistant Keith Leroux, who, in the 10 years I've corresponded with him, I've never truly found out his title. He does their website, social media, photography, and soooo much more.
Check out the video after the jump.
As Keith walked around talking to different stage hands and giving us a tour of the different areas, I couldn't help but get butterflies of excitement in my stomach. All the different pieces of the puzzle that will make up the End of the Road stage are so huge and there are so many of them. I have a good feeling this is going to be the most massive production KISS has ever surrounded themselves with.
Don't miss your chance to see KISS one last time on their upcoming End of the Road tour. It will be the band's last worldwide outing and kicks off tomorrow, January 31st, in Vancouver, Canada. If you've never seen KISS live, you owe it to yourself to see the Greatest Rock Show on Earth. You can get tickets to shows right here.

How is Us Different from Get Out?
Jordan Peele‘s eagerly anticipated sophomore directing effort, Us, debuted the first trailer on Christmas last year, giving families something to squirm about while they were home for the holidays. The trailer does a fine job of setting up the story of a black family (Lupita Nyong’o, Winston Duke, Shahadi Wright Joseph and Evan Alex), who suddenly find themselves stalked and hunted by another family of unsettling doppelgangers. Knowing what Jordan Peele accomplished with Get Out, many have assumed there will be another kind of racial and social commentary, but the director recently revealed that he’s subverting those expectations somewhat.
