The members of the rock band KISS were exposed at the band's End of the Road World Tour show held in Antwerp, Belgium, for lip-syncing after an incident occurred onstage. The unfortunate incident occurred when Eric Singer, an American hard rock musician and the drummer for KISS since 1991, messed up his part in their 1976 classic "Detroit Rock City," which led to disarray and a malfunctioning of the backtracks. This led to the exposure of the pre-recorded backup tracks of guitarist Paul Stanley. This contradicts what the band's bassist Gene Simmons originally said; he believes that bands that used backup tracks while having a live performance were dishonest. He mentioned his distaste for using pre-recorded tracks while speaking to Australia's News.com in 2015.

It's like the ingredients in food - the first ingredient on the label is sugar, that's at least honest. It should be on every ticket – you're paying $100, 30 to 50 percent of the show is backing tracks, and they'll lip sing sometimes, sometimes they'll lip sync. At least be honest. It's not about backing tracks; it's about dishonesty," Gene revealed.
