Just got back from taking the little man to his 1st KISS concert. They still put on a heck of a show for a bunch of old farts!

WOW!! Those guys are old enough to be younger than me, and they're still going? That musta been great! How did little man take it?

If you said to anyone "i'm going to take my kid to watch some blokes in high heels and make-up tonight" over here, you would have social services busting down the door.

Anyhow - hope you both had a great time.

He said it was the best day of his life.

I took my daughter to her first Kiss show a few years ago at Madison Square Garden with Aerosmith. At that time, they were still trying to work it out with Frehley and Criss. They were unfortunatley terrible that night. Stanley forgot the words during three songs. I thought the first time it was a good, but after the 3rd time, it was just sad. Aerosmith was terrific, which saved the night.
I've heard Kiss is better now with the new guys.

Headed to Little Rock tonight for their 7:30 show with the son in tow....... Expect to see some 40 & 50 somethings in make-up (not me) ....rock on !

I'd love to see a scientific analysis done to determine how many pounds/gallons of makeup the whole band has worn in their entire career.

So who is the line up for the band these days?

Gene, Paul, Eric Singer & Tommy Thayer

Whew, what a relief. I saw KISS, then Yota and I got really nervous about even reading the post........

The do put on a great show! I got to see one of their
first farewell shows in Charlotte a few years back.

i'm a big KISS fan and have seen them many times since 1987. Best gig's though..... travelling over to NYC to see Paul Stanley's solo tour at the Irving Plaza 2006 and Ace Frehley coming over the pond to London last year.

WOW....how do old dudes play for 3 & 1/2 hours in platforms and leave you wanting more.....? Got back from Little Rock @ 2:30am ....worth the trip.....Saw Rush and they are still on top of their game but KISS , Gene and Paul with their two kids there... absolutly fantastic and I must say...better than in 1977 , which was tha last time I saw them.....it's is a 3-ring circus with pyro and with them playing 3 1/2 hours...you do get your moneys worth.....Just WOW ! Oh, and yes the son liked it too.....

They played here in Little Rock last night, and a friend of mine and his wife went to see them. I'm having lunch with hime today, so I'll hear all about it.

Last week, I attended my industry's "big show" in Orlando, and one of the vendors rented the Hard Rock Cafe' for their event. The free concert this year was a bunch of rock geezers from Santana, Journey, Toto, Lynard Skynard, Boston, Foreigner, and Steppenwolf. It was pretty pathetic (thankfully, it was an open bar to help dull the pain). The lead singer from Sanatana actually limped off stage after his set. I kept thinking to my self that these guys didn't plan very well for their retirement and that I was sacrificing a night of bad TV to watch them. At least KISS can cover their age with a bunch of make up!

Last year, it was the same vendor and the Hard Rock as well, but Jimmy Buffet showed up and gave a 2 hour show. Now, THAT was awesome!
