On 25. September 1981, Kiss debuted the new costumes in support of their new album “(Music from) The Elder” in Mexico City, Mexico. At 1PM they held the press conference at a disco hall from the Camino Real hotel, located on an upper level of the main lobby. This press conference was pretty bad. The questions were terrible and it was clear no one was prepared, except for a guy who worked for the Conecte-magazine, but he was constantly blocked by the other “reporters”.
At 2PM they are awarded their Mexican gold records (for “Dynasty”).
From 2:30 to 3:30PM they have their first “The Elder” photo session.
At 5:15PM they start to take off their makeup.
Several media outlets were mad that the management did not allow them to have some more time with the band. Imevision was the only TV station to have Kiss to do a personal interview and performance, leaving the biggest TV company in Mexico (Televisa) out of this.
