something of a double win here, look you see, for this is a Spiros update and a celebration of an American band who are, let it be said, quite good. very good, really, i suppose. now that i think, i suppose that this could be a "half win" or "double loss" for those of you either only partially interested or not interested at all. if the latter, well, it is on you that you read further.
legendary rockers Kiss, which is to say Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and whatever other bit part players they have taken on board now, have played their most recent of "last ever" concerts in London on their current "last ever" tour. we have heard this from them, and many other bands, true, but you never know.
as a loyal, devout Kiss fan, Spiros was indeed at this gig. just as he was at their previous "last ever" London gig, on their previous "last ever" tour, which i think was two years ago. will he and they be there again in two or so years? perhaps. but for now here are some of the pictures he sent.
that's them in full swing, doing one of their many classic pop hits, i imagine. maybe I Was Made For Lovin' You, or one of their other many amazing disco floor killers.
would i consider myself a Kiss fan? for sure. not as devout as Spiros, but i have always had an interest in them. whereas they never struck me as making it all that big in England, or the wider UK, during my days in Australia in the early 80s they were absolutely massive. as in when i visited friends they would show off which Kiss albums they had, be it Unmasked or Destroyer. or Dynasty, even.
if like Spiros you were at this most recent of final Kiss gigs and have hoped that maybe someone took a picture of the back of your head, you are in luck. here, see if you can spot yourself. or someone you know, i guess.
although i do not recall much in the way of all that much interest in Kiss in England in the 70s, 80s or 90s (bar their contribution to the soundtrack for one of the Bill and Ted documentaries), clearly enough to fill a massive concert venue exists today. well, either that, or the tickets were really cheap, and there is absolutely nothing else to be done in London on a night these days.
would i go and see Kiss? yes, i suppose so. it really rather depends on when exactly they do their next "last ever" tour. should it be convenient, i will certainly consider thinking about going along, having a bit of a gander, giving them a listen and maybe busting some moves.
a contractually obliged close up of Paul Stanley on one of the big screens there, then. which is fair enough, from what i can work out he and Gene are the brains and the talent of the band.
right, not much else for me to add here. enjoy the pictures!
be excellent to each other!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
