    Will it be a sell out? There's still tickets available I think.


  • Registered Users Posts: 151 ✭✭Huawei Gallagher


    I doubt if it will, I am surprised they are playing the Point, maybe they need a big stage for the show?
    I lived in the USA at the height of Kiss mania, (I even had the comic that was printed with their blood, prob. not such a good idea nowadays lol). I moved to Ireland and nobody I knew had even heard of them.
    Maybe people will go coz they know they put on a good show. But how many Irish people actually own (or have stolen) a Kiss record/cd/Mp3? Not a lot I suspect. Hope it doesnt kill the atmosphere if its half empty!
    I will be there though, although knowing now that Gene Simmons is some old Jewish guy spoils the magic a bit for me!:pac:Here is my pic, look out for me there lol.

    I think you'd be surprised how many Irish own their music, the majority of the attending crowd I'm sure. I bought my first Kiss album in the late 70s.

    I may need to mug a Goth down at the Central Bank to get enough white makeup for my large head!;)

    I bought Destroyer back in 1980. Many out there will at least have a compilation or one of the Alive Albums.

    Really getting a buzz now: gonna be a great show \m/

    Let's see - just off the top of my head I've 10 albums on vinyl, pretty much the same on cassette and most of the rest of the Kiss albums on CD......been a fan since '79 and I'm definitely not the only fan I know......I don't think this will come close to a sell out but hoping for a good sized crowd......

    I'd be going if I wasn't going away that day. Pity, I'd have loved to have seen them live


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,873 ✭✭✭RayCon


    Well Ive been waiting to see them live since I first got a copy of Alive II on double Red Vinyl about 1982 when I was 10yrs old ...

    That outfit is class! I'm gonna rock it right up so Friday night :p

    Anyone heading out afterwards? I'm coming up from Cork so was just gonna go to Fibbers or Bruxelles after, any better suggestions?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,885 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    damn volcanic ash clouds are back so they could have to take the ferry over to dublin or pospone the show


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,419 ✭✭✭allanb49


    If it doesnt go ahead fibbers an we just commadere the juke box and have a 12 hour session :D heading there after the gig though havent been in years


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,885 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    there playing birmingham on the 5th may and then they have a day off on the 6th. So they could sail with all the stage equipment on the 6th and the band could sail early on the 7th.

    They could be a bigger panic if the band had a gig on the 6th with this air traffic nonsense


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,012 ✭✭✭furiousox


    Loads of clips on youtube.
    The Newcastle crowd are much better than the Sheffield crowd but we're gonna be even louder! :D

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    I can't wait for this


    Anyone know where I can find some black and white face paint in Dublin, preferably south or city centre? No place in Dundrum or Dun Laoghaire sells any, and I need approx 8 Peter Crisses worth of face paint


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 874 ✭✭✭devildriver

    Getting here might not be the problem but getting away from here to continue the tour might be an issue for 'em.

    Not sure, there's certainly a lot less hassle with cameras these days (as long as they are not cameras with changeable lens) there's certainly loads of fan photos around on the Kiss website.....

    I'll be bringing one anyway......


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10 crusse


    Yeah I figured it should be easier to bring one in now as these days all mobile phones have cameras in them too.
    Just bought a new digital camera a few months ago nothing too fancy but it records in 720p so I'm hoping to get some nice pics and recordings. :p

    Wouldn't be too sure about cameras...lest We forget Gene Simmons is a right c*nt,When it comes to bootlegging...and of course most other things :)

    Gene Simmons' Lawyer Raids North Carolina KISS Expo

    Gene Simmons and Company raided Sunday's North Carolina KISS Expo looking for illegal DVD's and Videos along with various other bootlegged KISS material on Sunday, Aug. 8th. According to various sources Gene Simmons is trying to root out a notorious bootlegger. In attendance was Special Guest, Gordon G.G. Gebert, author of the books KISS & Tell, KISS & Tell More, and Rock & Roll War Stories. Gebert states, "At first I didn't know what was going on. When I realized they were confiscating bootlegs I watched the drama unfold. Then some guy claiming to be Gene Simmons' lawyer came to where I was signing my new book and we had a heated exchange. He tried to stop me from selling merchandise until he checked it out. I told him he had no authority to stop me from selling legal merchandise. The exchange was interesting to say the least. After he realized I had nothing illegal they left the venue."

    KISS Expo Organizer is due in court Friday, August 13th.
