As
a way of increasing sales Best Buy had a promotion that would offer the KISS
Alive! boxset along with 2 bonus tracks "2000 Man" & "God Of Thunder"
'The Millenium Concert' was supposed to be released as Alive IV in 2000 but
because of the shake up of KISS' parent label Mercury being swallowed by the
Universal/Vivendi merger, Alive IV was shelved. Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley
in 2001 on the US rock radio show Rockline expressed their frustration on its
delay by attacking Island/Def Jam who swallowed Mercury and KISS was put on
Def Jam with Staney saying "we don't look good in baggy pants to butt level" and
Simmons saying "we don't know how to pronounce wassup properly and we don't
have any criminal records so far but we do wear more makeup and clothes than
your mom". Then Universal OK'd with KISS for using Mercury to release The Millenium
Concert as Alive IV but then was shelved indefinitely as the band would release
the Symphony: Alive IV album released on KISS Records/Sanctuary Records in
2003.
