USMCBillsFan Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Everyone will probably slam me for liking Kiss but they were my absolute favorite growing up since that was my first concert in Buffalo 1978. I bought the DVD collection today and can't wait to get home tonight and watch it. Even though they weren't the greatest musicians and they made some horrible albums, many of their songs held the test of time and they were still selling out all their concerts on their farewell tour. And as far as showmanship, they are at the very top of the heap.

USMCBillsFan Posted November 6, 2006 Author Posted November 6, 2006 Will you cry when they give their final final concert? 826905[/snapback] No, I think I'll survive. I saw them twice on the reunion tour and twice on the farewell tour though...
MattyT Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 It takes a big man to admit this much man-love for Kiss. However, since you are probably a bigger man than me....I'm just gonna leave it at that.

Cripes Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 I remember an interview where Paul Stanley thought they made a wrong turn in 1978-79 by appealing too much to the "kiddies" out there. But obviously, they owe their riches to the nostalgia of childhood loyalties. As a matter of fact, so do the Buffalo Bills.

I know my son likes Kiss too and it's because of me. The childhood fans like myself have introduced them to a whole new generation. That's why at the reunion and farewell tours you would see people from 60 - 6. It was awesome to see.

I saw them on their farewell tour (the first one) and they were really good.

I'm no judge of popular music, but with over 20 gold albums, they surely appealed to a whole bunch of folks...you're in good company!
BillsFanM.D. Posted November 6, 2006 Posted November 6, 2006 Everyone will probably slam me for liking Kiss There is absolutely no need to apologize for this one. The first album I ever bought (actually my mom bought it much to her chagrin) was Dressed to Kill. My brother received Andy Gibb's Shadow Dancing....you tell me who needs to apologize.
Rico Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 FWIW, Best Buy has an exclusive 3rd disc with another Detroit show (either the day before or after, I forget)... 5 shows for $18+tax is a pretty good deal.

Also comes with a booklet and sticker. Great footage. I watched some of it already.
