91裸聊视频淵ou wanted the best, you got the best.91裸聊视频�
If you91裸聊视频檙e a KISS fan, you know the words that come next during the concert intro.
If not, you probably weren91裸聊视频檛 at Rogers Arena on Wednesday night (Nov. 8) when KISS was indeed the hottest band in the world, with all that pyro.
This is 91裸聊视频淭he End of the Road91裸聊视频� for the glam-rock originators on a world tour that started pre-pandemic and concludes Dec. 2 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Wednesday in Vancouver, for perhaps a final time, the B.C.-region KISS Army came out to salute a band that started 50 years ago with Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. The latter two no longer kiss up to Simmons and Stanley, who have joined forces with lead guitarist Tommy Thayer and drummer Eric Singer to keep on KISS-ing well into 2023.
By Stanley91裸聊视频檚 count, KISS has performed in Vancouver a total of 12 times, 91裸聊视频渁nd this will be the last time,91裸聊视频� he told the crowd a couple of songs in.
91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e here to celebrate!91裸聊视频�
And so they did, with all the fire-breathing, blood-spitting, rocket-launching, arena-rocking antics that have made KISS the trailblazers they are.
, starting with an explosive 91裸聊视频淒etroit Rock City91裸聊视频� and ending with a confetti-showered 91裸聊视频淩ock and Roll All Nite91裸聊视频� more than two hours later. Personally I would have loved an all-91裸聊视频�70s set, but I was lucky to experience that on , when they put the makeup back on and made my concert-going fantasy come true (I was a kid during the heyday, so it was the show I never thought I91裸聊视频檇 see).
Stanley and Simmons are now in their 70s, and I got thinking how they probably feel fortunate to wear stage makeup at their age. Don91裸聊视频檛 get me wrong, they still look great in their Starchild and Demon costumes, respectively, which is pretty cool.
The Starchild91裸聊视频檚 vocal mix wasn91裸聊视频檛 great Wednesday, and these days he91裸聊视频檚 sounding screechy, both in song and those cringe intros of his.
But hey, rock 91裸聊视频榥91裸聊视频� roll all night and part of every day, right?
All of them took turns in the spotlight, of course, starting with Thayer91裸聊视频檚 post-91裸聊视频淐old Gin91裸聊视频� guitar solo and rocket-launching spectacle, a thundering Singer session on drums leading into 91裸聊视频�100,000 Years91裸聊视频� and Simmons91裸聊视频� iconic blood-spitting turn before 91裸聊视频淕od of Thunder,91裸聊视频� a real highlight of the night.
By 91裸聊视频淟ove Gun,91裸聊视频� Stanley was rope-lifted over the crowd to a 91裸聊视频淏91裸聊视频� stage at the far end of the arena. He stayed for the disco-ball drop of 91裸聊视频淚 Was Made For Lovin91裸聊视频� You91裸聊视频� (which didn91裸聊视频檛 sound very disco-y at all) and the first half of 91裸聊视频淏lack Diamond.91裸聊视频�
An encore followed, starting with the Singer-sung piano ballad 91裸聊视频淏eth,91裸聊视频� and by 11 p.m. it was all over, another KISS show in the books, another arena crowd sent home happy.
I enjoyed the show in the company of a 12-year-old who was at his first KISS concert, so through his eyes I remembered how special the band is for all its theatrics.
If this really is 91裸聊视频淭he End of The Road91裸聊视频� for KISS, barring yet another reunion and tour, it was a hell of a run, and so much fun. We in the Army thank you for the memories.
Wednesday91裸聊视频檚 opener was Crown Lands, an Ontario rock duo that has listened to a lot of Rush albums growing up, apparently. Worth a listen if you91裸聊视频檙e into prog-rock. If not, don91裸聊视频檛 bother.
