2 words to describe the show, FUCKING INCREADIBLE.
I live about half an hour away from Rod Laver arena so we got an early start. Met my cousins and we all left togethor, the whole way where where playing Greatest Kiss full blast on my cousins system going down the highway, (reminded me of Detroit Rock City the movie). Got to this costume place near rod laver where my cousin got his face painted like the legendary Ace Frehely. Went to the pub and got into the beer with some other Kiss fans that where going to the concert. Looked at my watch and it was 6:45, time to go!. By the time we found parking and all the rest it was 7:15 and we where ready to ROCK. Met some more mates outside the merchandice stand, I bought 2 tour tops, one where the band is standing on the aussie flag and one where they are holding their instruments. Got stuck into more beer there. Enough about that, ON TO THE SHOW.
Opening act The Screaming Jets where ok but no one realy gave a fuck about them casue we where there to see KISS. Their act only lasted half an hour. On came the wedding, the groom was in a full Gene Simmons costume and the bride in a purple dress with Paul Stanleys make up on. Pretty boring, but people from the crowd where screaming out "DONT DO IT" and "SHOW US YOUR TITS" which made it bearable.
Down came the Kiss curtain and off went the lights, the staduim errupted,On went the guy saying "ALLRIGHHT MELBOURNE, YOU WANTED THE BEST, YOU GOT THE BEST, THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD, KISS" and on came Detroit rock city like normal. Everyone was going ape shit exept the dickheads in the back rows, sitting down with their arms crossed.
They played alot of their songs, concert went for 2 and a half hours. I liked how they played Talk to Me, and that Medley of all the old songs, was preety cool. Eric was fucken incredilble. His drum solo blew me away. If anyone sold their tickets and didnt come to the show cause eric replaced Peter, U ALL FUCKEN MISSED OUT BIG TIME. Eric is 200% better than peter n the drums, I belive he was the highlight of the night. Ace was good making the odd joke. But the funniest was when they went to start a song but Eric wasent there on the drums and Paul said jokingly "Oh No We have lost another drummer"
All in all it was an unforgetable night. 10/10 5 stars.
Heard the other day that they are gonna tour Europe now as well, haha will this tour ever end?? Better if it doesent.
