Fan Meets KISSFrom: Stuff NZ Posted: March 24, 2008 For Regan Hutchins, meeting rock icons KISS was the fulfilment of an almost lifelong dream. "I'm 19 and I've probably been a fan for about 18 years now," he said. Mr Hutchins, of Tawa, arrived at the airport early on Friday afternoon - only to be told the rockers were not due till later that night. Undeterred, he came back in the evening and finally met his idols at 11.30pm. "It was pretty cool. They all walked out together and signed a few autographs." All four current members of the band - including stalwarts GENE SIMMONS and PAUL STANLEY - signed his own prized "axe". The gig that followed on Saturday night at the Rock2Wgtn metal festival was amazing, he said. "It was the first time I've seen them ... It's very original. There's not much else like it around. Not a lot of bands can do what they do." Headlining the show, KISS, featuring GENE SIMMONS (bass, vocals) and PAUL STANLEY (rhythm guitar, vocals) and a better guitarist and drummer wearing the spaceman and cat-man makeup, replacing original members ACE FREHLEY and PETER CRISS. The KISS stage shows were legendary in the 1970s - and the band, now celebrating 35 years, played a set that had faithful members of "the KISS army" chanting along, arms in the air. Shots of fire and a flashing neon logo in the background all made for a great show. |
