KISS: The Second Coming (1999)

KISS - The Second Coming is a great documentary about the reunion and everything that led up to it, which would make this 17 years in the making. Although they focus on the reunion and how it came to be, I wish they had did more with the history of KISS instead of just glossing over everything that came before. The problem would eventually be corrected with the Kissology sets. But at the time of this release, this was a bone of contention with me.
There is a ton of behind the scenes stuff, rehearsals, etc...to be found throughout the documentary.
Seeing them put the makeup and costumes back on for the first time and heading to the Grammy's unannounced is great. Seeing Tupac's reaction when meeting them at the Grammy's is priceless.
It's interesting to see that this doc was written, produced, and directed by Tommy Thayer, who eventually went on to replace Ace Frehely by literally stepping into his costume and makeup. This little bit of information is not mentioned anywhere in the doc. It was just a sharp eye on the linear notes when I noticed it. Seems he had been plotting way back then. Sneaky. Ha.
But this is definitely a must-have for your collection for both fans and non-fans. You can't go wrong with this one at all.
Rating: 4 1/2 Star out of 5
