Description

The Krazy Killer collection dvd features a lot of clips from the 1994 Kiss Convention in Detroit. There is exclusive home video footage of Gene and Paul with their lawyers and police storming the convention on July 17th 1994. They raided the Kiss museum and took back all their old costumes and boots which they claim were theirs. They should’ve given this release the tagline of ‘They took the law into their owns hands’. Sounds like a good tag line for some ’80s direct-to-video action movie, doesn’t it?. Krazy Killer also sounds like some weirdo 80s direct-to-video movie but I’m thinking that it would be more of a slasher film. Another highlight on this dvd is the interview section with Gene, Paul, Eric and Vinnie. There’s really nothing mind blowing about the interview. Kiss talks about Kiss, their own personal backgrounds, how they joined the band, etc. There was one moment of note where the interview asks Gene about his connection to Linda Ronstadt and Gene goes into some weird speech and basically tells the guy he’s getting too personal with his questions. The interview apologizes but Paul and Gene further elaborate stating that it’s okay to ask those question and it’s okay that the public feels they have a right to know their about their personal lives but the fact is they don’t have to answer those type of questions. Paul also seems to take a shot at Led Zeppelin for breaking up over John Bonham’s death when the discussion turns to Peter and Ace leaving the band. He says that no one member’s actions is going to dictate how the band proceeds, which is something Gene and Paul say to this very day. The most interesting is actually to see Vinnie Vincent, Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and Eric Carr all sitting together in full Kiss gear joking around together, acting carefree, doing re-takes, having fun and at times (when waiting for microphones to be fixed and the questions to start) looking bored. Paul and Gene have never been a loss for words and easily breezed through the interview, Eric does a fine job too being the class clown of the group but seemingly not completely comfortable given so much mic time and then there’s Vinnie who really seemed uncomfortable at having to answer questions and in such an intimate spotlight. Then we move onto the second half of the dvd, the part that was marketed as the main draw: the 1994 Detroit KISS Konvention raid. This was all shot on someone’s camcorder so the audio and video is pretty bad and you don’t really know what’s going on. Basically, some vendor at the convention had tons of Kiss merchandise that had supposedly been stolen years ago and Gene and Paul themselves complete with some of Detroit’s Finest storm the booth and confiscate everything. It’s really annoying to hear all these screaming fans calling out their names as they try to get a hand shake or autograph. Paul signs a few autographs but Gene is a consummate professional and is only worried about the bottom line and getting his merchandise back. The video then cuts to them on some stage where Paul explains what happened (audio is extremely poor here) and says it was kind of a sting operation and says that he and Gene will take a few questions from the fans. Again, not a whole lot of note was said (from what I could hear) but it was still pretty cool of them to put themselves on the stop like that even if Gene was really off to the side talking to other people most of the time. After awhile, they then say they gotta split and a catch a plane out of town. The convention material was fun to see once but the highlight is the material with Vinnie and Eric and trust me after 90 minutes of this you will still have no idea who this krazy killer was.
