KISS

Wembley Arena

Arriving in their platform boots on a platform from rock ‘n roll heaven high above our heads, KISS descended onto the stage in an explosion of pyros from hell…

…storming into the opening track from Sonic Boom… and the crowd went crazy.

Gene Simmons swayed his armadillo metal crotch to the unsuspecting females down the front;
Paul Stanley strutted his backside to the audience in his starry black spandex trousers.

New boy Tommy Thayer – who has, amazingly, now been in the band for eight years – handled all the Frehley riffs with aplomb, delivering great vocals on “Shock Me.”

Eric Singer looked cool behind the drum kit on the very literal drum riser, surprising me with his voice on “Black Diamond.”

Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer, Paul Stanley

Simmons, at times, looked like the Predator after a bloodthirsty bout with Arnold Schwarzenegger…

Paul Stanley is still camper than a row of tents…

Simmons flew to the top of the lighting rig for “I Love It Loud,” looking like the devil holding Sunday service.

At one point, Singer held up a bazooka and blasted out the lighting rig. Pantomime at its best.

Paul Stanley flew above the crowd into the center of the arena for the sing-a-long of the disco floor-filler “I Was Made For Loving You.”

At the end of the KISS anthem “Rock And Roll All Nite,” an avalanche of confetti snowblinds Wembley to an ecstatic reaction.

We wanted the best, we got the best…it can’t get much better than this.
