The '''Revenge Tour''' was a [[concert tour]] by [[Kiss (band)|Kiss]] in support of the band's album ''[[Revenge (Kiss album)|Revenge]]''. It was the first tour with drummer [[Eric Singer]], replacing [[Eric Carr]] who died of cancer on November 24, 1991. The Detroit, Indianapolis and Cleveland shows were recorded for Kiss' first live album in 16 years, ''[[Alive III]]''. [[Danger Danger]], [[Faster Pussycat]], Fortress, [[Great White]], [[Jackyl]], [[Shooting Gallery (band)|Shooting Gallery]], [[Trixter]] and Vesuvius were the supporting acts for this tour.<ref>[http://www.necramonium.com/revengetour1992.htm Revenge Tour: 1992]</ref> There were three legs to the tour, with the first being a series of 13 shows played in small clubs in North America in April and May 1992, followed by an eight date run of full scale shows in the United Kingdom in the second half of May. The third, and final, leg was a tour of North American arenas which did not kick off until October of that year. Average attendance for this tour was (5000) fans per show making it the worst attended KISS tour since 1975.
In the tour program for the band's [[End of the Road World Tour|final tour]], Simmons reflected on the tour:
{{quote|"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.<ref>(2019). End of the Road World Tour Program, pg. 27.</ref>}}
==Stage setup==
For the North American club tour, the band played on stage with no props and no pyrotechnics, due to the small size of these venues.
For the UK leg of the tour, the stage set from the [[Hot in the Shade Tour]] was used. During the show at Cardiff National Ice Rink on 20/05/92, a pyro cue for "Heaven's on Fire" caused £30,000 worth of damage to the ceiling.<ref>[http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jasonally/page9.html KISS in Wales]</ref>
For the North American arena tour, the stage featured a giant replica of the [[Statue of Liberty]] in front of a large Kiss logo wall.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnmFUG4cxiA KISS Revenge Tour – "Creatures of the Night"]</ref> Halfway through the show, the statue's face crumbled to reveal its skull.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziiY8dqcwrc KISS Konfidential – "I Love It Loud" (Live)]</ref> Afterward, its right arm and torch crumbled down before its skeleton hand gave [[the finger]].
As on the Hot in the Shade Tour, Steve Jander and his Dallas-based Showlasers were brought in to develop a laser show similar to the one used on the previous tour.
At the show in San Bernardino, California, the band only used the vinyl backdrop with the Kiss logo due to the Orange Show Pavilion being unable to support the lighting rig and Statue Of Liberty prop. This show also featured no lasers and minimal [[pyrotechnics]].
==Aftermath and ''Alive III''==
The tour was plagued by abysmal ticket sales in most markets. There are several theories as to why, the most popular being Kiss' failure to hit the road while ''Revenge'' was still on the charts. The tour was originally to play amphitheaters, beginning in July at Expo Square Pavilion in Tulsa, Oklahoma; however, these plans were axed when Stanley went forward with his wedding to Pamela Bowen and Simmons welcomed a child. By the time the proper arena began, ''Revenge'' had fallen out of the ''[[Billboard 200]]'', and the single "Everytime I Look At You" had officially been declared a bust by [[Mercury Records]].
The shows in Cleveland, Detroit and Indianapolis were recorded by [[Eddie Kramer]] as the basis for the ''Alive III'' album.
The final show in Phoenix, Arizona, was not intended to be the last one at all. A January 21 date at [[Tarrant County Convention Center]] in [[Fort Worth, Texas]], was to launch the second US leg, but in late November, plans for any future dates were scrapped. Due to the ticket sales being so low, plans for a summer 1993 tour supporting ''Alive III'' were scrapped as well.
