From: Alessandro Maiucchi

Hi, I'm Alessandro from Rome, and together with more than 200 Kiss fans I did the 7-hour trip to Milano, last monday. The venue is the FilaForum, filled with a 12.000+ people, sold-out!

Kiss are in good shape, I miss the Reunion date but the ones that were present in '96 said that this one is really better...

The setlist is a dream for me (not being at the Reunion show, but is the one Kiss decided...), I wish they include in a future tour some other song, cutting Shock me, KOTNTW, 100,000 years (not bad songs, but you can't cut RARAN or Deuce!). Within need more work, the version in the EP is good, but the rough live version is not!

Ace is a not-moving picture (I'm also a Rush fan), I think during the show... But at home, watching some old shows, I see that he's not this stage runner also in the golden years... He's the same old Ace of the old days!

Peter is a big surprise, his drumming is a good one, the solo is a show, and the people of FilaForum made him the most acclaimed, the choir 'Peter, Peter' last more than three minutes, and for Beth last more! After Beth Gene and Ace join Peter for a carousel, hand in hand and touring like old children... It's been a great moment!

Gene was the great entertainer that we all know, but as Ace he is in a bad shape, in a fat shape, I could say ;-)

Paul... is Paul! The best showman, the body of a 30 years old (from the distance...), the voice is fantastic. All the sound is fantastic, to say the truth. During the support act (a rumorous one...) I can't understand nothing, while Paul's voice is like he's a three steps from me!

Overall, an unforgettable experience, that I share with my wife. In twelve years we are together, I said her 'You gotta see Kiss live one time...' and now she did! In her words, is the definitive show, she enjoy every second (least the bloody gene part ;-)) and her eyes is full of Kiss at the end! During Beth I said to her 'It is twelve years I'm waiting for this moment'... It's been fantastic!

Don't miss them, and bring your girls (and boys)!
