HI there kiss fans Im a 30yr old Adelaide girl who has just been to my first KISS concert.
And Wow what a concert at the entertaiment centre.
My boyfriend has been a kiss fan from day one and has been to all the big kiss concerts here in Adelaide. He walked in knowing what to exspect and he got it. He was really impressed with Aces performance he had it all together and he really knows how to come through on the night.(Well done Ace).
My boyfriend was also a big Peter Chris fan and was a little dissappointed that he held out for money but he missed out on the final fling here in Adelaide bad luck cat man your loss. His replacement Eric Singer despite the critisim he was fantastic and (ROCKED LITTLE OL COUNTRY TOWN ADELAIDE) with his pounding drum solo and vocals. 10/10 Eric you kicked ass.
As for his thought on Gene and Paul(WELL ITS NICE TO SEE NOTHINGS CHANGED AFTER 30 YEARS) Paul still hits the high notes and Gene gets down and dirty well done Blokes.
My thoughts as a first timer I knew the music and of course I knew the band. (WHO DIDNT KNOW WHO KISS WAS)I grew up in the kiss era too.
But didnt consider myself apart of the kiss army and therefore had never rushed out to buy a ticket before.
Well now I know what I missed out on all those years ago. From the time we sat down to the KISS show to the end I went into a WORLD of KISS songs, and history, aswell as history in the making to I guess. Gene O so frightening I know the girls love him and his huge spitting tounge (I love the way he strutted around the stage like he had never been away from it. PRETTY BLOODY GOOD FOR 50YR OLD. And Paul well what can i say about Paul other than the Adelade girls just went off when he came on strutting from the start like he hadnt age from the first concert well Paul As far as i am concerned I would have love to have seen your first concert.
If you were as good then as you are now i can see why you are getting divorced. There hope for me yet.
As for Ace my boyfriend gave me a bit of history on his rebileous lifestyle and why people call him SPACE ACE but what ever they say you were fucking brilliant I was really impressed with your talent with the guitar .(as they say you cant keep a good gutarist down) And ACE YOU WERE FUCKING sensational.
I thought Ace was a bit stand back from Gene and Paul and I can see why as you kept the band tight and in tune all night. Which isnt easy with Gene and Paul antics going on around you. I think you were great space Ace.
I thought the Drummer Eric did a wonderful job pumping out the beat behind the boys all night.putting all the politics bullshit aside you had a job on your hands filling those paws of Peters well done Eric you did a bloody good job. I never thought you were a fill in i think you were a super replacement for Peter who regretaibly decided not to come.
Overall i feel abit sad its the end of KISS as it feels like only the beginning for me.
Im grateful for my boyfriend talking me into going as now i realise when people talk about the band KISS its with real passion,nostalgia and true affection to the band and its music.
Its not just a big gimmic after 30yrs people realy truly love this band and will be loyal to these guys as the band has been loyal its music. Despite the infighting and money hassles they have exprienced along the way, ALL I CAN SAY IS GUYS YOUR LARGER THAN LIFE. I will remember your last concert on Sunday the 1st April 2001 as it was my first. And I will always remember where i was on that date. YES I WAS AT THE LAST KISS CONCERT ...WELL DONE KISS YOU KISSED ADELAIDE GOODNIGHT IN A BIG WAY. THANK YOU KICK ASS..................
