I SAW KISS LAST NIGHT!! (12/1/09 was the concert) (spoilers)

[space-ace1]

I saw KISS last night, here, in Glendale, Az!!!
It was an amazing night!!
THe setlist was pretty good.
They played only two songs from the new album.
It was all good, EXCEPT:
1. Tommy sang SHOCK ME! He cant do that! That's ace's song! HE has his own song on the new album anyway! Sing that one!!
2. Gene didnt play god of thunder, instead he played I love it loud.
I like I love it loud, but God of thunder fits with the blood.
3.Tommy played his (about 8 minutes) guitar solo. Now, I dont care if it was 10 minutes, I would have actually preferred that. BUT, he played his solo exactly like Ace and that's getting a little annoying. He is being payed to be an an exact copy of ace. I dont care if he wheres ace's make-up and costume, but have some individuality, MAN!!

Overall it was great. If the hottest band in the world is coming to your town soon, and you dont have tickets yet....Sell some belongings of your parents so that you can get the tickets! you wont regret it!!!!

I am glad you had fun and I think what you said about Tommy is spot on.

the hottest band in the world already came to my closest city.
but since the radio didnt tell us the tickets were going on sale, we missed the chance.

ill tell you, i kicked myself in the a** for not being able to go.

I saw them in Oakland, CA on November 22nd, and it's funny cause I had the same exact gripes about the show that you did. Except for Gene singing I love it loud, cause I love that song. I think I saw them once where Gene sang "War Machine" after doing the blood bit, which was cool also. Anyway, I wish they'd add maybe one or two more obscure songs to the set list to mix it up a bit. This wasn't one of the better Kiss shows that I've been at, but it was still pretty good overall.

yeah. well now i saw them nov 17th (and facebook nov 25th) and i didnt mind tommy being ace because i grew up being an ace fan so i enjoyed it. now i loved it. it was cool seeing tommy doing the (spaceman routine) because that what people expect. now they did parasite for our show. and im glad they diid shock me also but, i kind wish they did when lightning strike for tommy. erics voice for black diamond is a perfect fit.

Saw them in Houston on the 5th. Pretty much the same show you're describing...
Did you get the show recording? I've been listening to mine again for the past few days.
And...speaking of Tommy. At our show, when doing the whole Shooting-rockets-out-his-guitar routine, he hit and knocked down one of the lights above the stage. It was hilarious!
As for the set list: Mostly older, more famous songs (opener was Deuce), with two thrown in there from the new album (Modern Day Delilah and Say Yeah). Only real shocker was Parasite, which was pulled out about half-way through the show. Wasn't expecting that one... sweatdrop
Got real close to Paul when he swung out onto his platform...so that was pretty cool.

A light fell during the lightning part too at the show I went to. Maybe it was intentional? Also one of the stagehands tripped and fell after extinguishing Gene's fire sword. That was pretty funny too.

well, ever since the tommy/ eric/ paul/ gene line-up, they have been playing parasite alot over the last couple of years. One song they seriously need to bring back is creatures of the night!

Actually, now that I think on it, almost everyone here who said they went to a concert, they said that during tommy's rocket trick, a light would fall off the upper part of the stage. I think its just the explosions. They loosen bolts and other mechanical s**t up. And after a while of fireworks and lots of pyrotechnics, somethings gonna fall.
