The Animalize Tour was a concert tour by Kiss in support of their Animalize album. It was divided into two halves: the European leg and the U.S. leg, with two very different shows and stage sets. The European staging was basically the Unmasked Tour stage, painted like animal skin (leopard spots and tiger stripes). Animalize became very successful in America, and a much larger stage set wasdesigned for the American leg of the tour.T he show would start much in the same manner as the Dynasty show, with the band being lifted onto the stage by a lift behind the drum riser. Sound effects of a large airplane landing would be played over the speakers while the band was coming up, after the famous "You Wanted The Best" intro the band would launch into Detroit Rock City. This was the first tour with Bruce Kulick on lead guitar, who replaced Mark St. John who couldn't play due to his arthritic condition. Originally Kulick was a temporary replacement, until St. John wasn't getting better. Kulick was named an official member on December 8, 1984.
