KISS to play o2 Dublin in May 2010!!!!

Mr. CooL ICE · 08-05-2010 5:27pm

That was awesome. I Was Made For Loving You was definitely highlight of the night for me.

So much bloody confetti too! I'd hate to be involved in cleanup.

The only thing that could have made this better would have been replacing two of the new songs with God Of Thunder and Strutter.

Anyone see the 5 Peter Crisses?

don't be so unsure of urself! i just googled this 'Doc McGhee' its undoubtedly him. somewhat of a Marijuana smuggling legend

NIBBS · 08-05-2010 5:45pm

yeah - Doc has been at all the UK shows too......seems to be really cool around the fans - had I noticed him I'd have definitely asked for a snap - check out the Tour Photos on Kissonline.com and you'll notice that he's in a lot of fan snaps, which is pretty cool......will be interesting how he does with Axl Rose.....

A few more pics that i just finished cropping, chopping amd messin about wit.

Like i said in an earlier post, if anybody wants them just send me your email by PM and i'll send them out

Great pictures Scudzilla. I went with some friends and my five daughters and we had a blast. It brought me back thirty years.

Brilliant crowd. Even now some people have misconceptions about the audiences that attend rock and metal gigs. There was no hint of trouble, everyone was there just for the craic, and there was a lot of it. It was wonderful to see so many people who had made an effort to dress in costume.

I love rock,but I also like indie and alternative and would be the first to admit that some of these bands are a little too earnest.

Memo to bands, watch a Kiss concert, that is how you rock and have fun while doing it.

What a night!!!!

I'm still walking around with a huge grin on my face. Total entertainment from start to finish and great classic rock songs to boot.:D

Voice recovering from singing along to the songs, and, unlike previous posters, I noticed nearly everyone around me were singing along.

I was surprised at the age of a lot of the crowd as I thought the younger rockers would be a bit dismissive of KISS; but no fear, the ones around me were singing along to everything.

That was so special for me personally as I've been a KISS fan for 30 years and it's the first time I got a chance to see them live in make-up with the whole stage production. I saw them at Donington in '88 but they were't headlining and therefore hadn't there own show with them (plus they weren't in make-up at the time).

Sorry now I didn't but a Destroyer T-Shirt as seeing KISS this year, 30 years after I bought my first album which was Destroyer, it would have been sentimental. Ah, well, guess I'll go to the KISS website and order there.

I hope they come back again soon. I read an interview with Paul where he said they were going back into the studio after this World Tour to record a new album; Tommy and Eric's contribution to Sonic Boom seems to have given Paul and Gene a new lease of life.

So hopefully, new album = new world tour. And the vibe last night and word of mouth should make the next Dublin gig a sellout.

Have to say this was the best show I've been to, and as some others have said, I've been to a few in my time. Probably not the best gig (AC/DC in '82 will take some shifting), but the WOW factor was off the chart.

Got some great pics myself, this is one of my favourites:

Nice pic, if ya look closely i think he has Dublin and the date written on the bottom of his guitar, i think that's in case Paul forgets where he is, only has to look at Gene's guitar

:D

could be so true.......gotta say though that hip replacement has certainly made a huge positive change to Paul...

RayCon · 08-05-2010 8:00pm

That was a childhood dream come through ..... fah-king brilliant.

Catari Jaguar · 08-05-2010 8:00pm

Paul looks amazing! Hitting the gym big time I'd say... He's 58 for God's sake! :eek: And Gene is 61 or something ridiculous! Anyone catch them in Bruxelles past couple of nights? They might be there again tonight...:D

Where they really there or did Dave tell Paul that he saw Kiss in town, Paul tells Alan that Kiss were walkin down Grafton Street then Alan tells Bob that Kiss were drinking in Bruxelles.....

Bob then tells Derek that he went to the jacks with Paul Stanley.....

See, that's how rumours start

Bruxelles Facebook page said they were there last night... I heard from a couple of people that they are staying in the Westbury which is a 10 sec walk from Bruxies...

scudzilla · 08-05-2010 8:29pm

What i diod find odd was the merchandise, selling Drumsticks 'AS USED BY' Eric Singer, signed by him too.

Drumsticks on sale were black, Singer used Plain wooden coloured one's :rolleyes:

unless they are practice sticks ??
I don't pay much attention to merch like that.....generally the merch wasn't as expensive as I was expecting to see it....

they were staying in the Westbury from what I've been told, and I guess if they were that close to Bruxies it wouldn't be surprising that some of them would have gone in on one of the nights

Catari Jaguar · 08-05-2010 8:50pm

I was torn between the drumsticks and the Black Diamond t-shirt.. I'm a huge Guitar Hero head so the sticks would have been cool, but the t-shirt won in the end. €5 cheaper too!

They were there Thurs night not last night.

waltersobchak · 08-05-2010 8:55pm

Im still in shock of the level of awesomeness that was last night, easily in the top 3 gigs ive ever been to, No band on the planet can work a crowd like Paul and Gene can... fu*king unreal
