The Revenge Tour was a concert tour by Kiss in support of the band's studio album Revenge.
It was the first tour with drummer Eric Singer, [1] replacing Eric Carr who died of cancer on November 24, 1991. [2] [3] Singer had previously performed with Paul Stanley's solo tour and was seen as a 'natural choice' according to Gene Simmons. [4]
Kiss began the tour with a leg of club shows in North America. [5] During the European leg of the tour in the United Kingdom, the stage set from the Hot in the Shade Tour was used. [6] During the show at Cardiff National Ice Rink on May 20, 1992, a pyro cue for "Heaven's on Fire" caused £30,000 worth of damage to the ceiling. [7]
For the North American arena tour, the stage featured a giant 41-foot high replica of the Statue of Liberty [4] in front of a large Kiss logo wall. [8] Halfway through the show during "War Machine", the statue's face crumbled to reveal its skull. [9] Afterward, its right arm and torch crumbled down before its skeleton hand gave the finger, which some audiences took personally. [6] The shows would also include strippers during the song "Take It Off". [6] The stage was hauled by six to ten semi haulers [10] while the replica of the Statue of Liberty had to fit into three trucks. [11]
Due to poor ticket sales, the tour had to be shortened.[ citation needed] There was a show set to take place in Spokane on December 13, [12] but had been canceled due to weather affecting the band's travel between shows. [13] The shows in Cleveland, Detroit and Indianapolis were recorded by Eddie Kramer for the Alive III live album. [6] [4]
In the tour program for the band's final tour, Simmons reflected on the tour:
"Unholy" was the first single from Revenge. I got the idea for "Unholy" from a song that Adam Mitchell wrote that Doro Pesch recorded called "Unholy Love". I just loved the word "unholy". Vinnie Vincent and I wrote the lyric together. [14]
These are example setlists performed from one show on the tour, but may not represent the majority of the shows performed. [15]
