The Best, At Something

What do you get when you combine rock music, professional wrestling and Las Vegas style schmaltz? The Total KISS Spectacle!

Adding "spectacle" to the title of their show, they're pretty much saying "come see us blow stuff up while we play some music", right?

Oh, but it's so much more!

Yes, they do blow alot of stuff up, but the spectacle also includes Gene Simmons breathing fire, Paul Stanley flying over the crowd, tongue wagging, firing rockets from a guitar that shoots down parts of the lighting rig, Gene Simmons spitting blood, parts of the stage rising 50 feet during the show, Gene Simmons flying up to the rafters, guitar smashing and a 5 minute confetti blizzard.

And they played some music. Far less "spectacular", but a really good selection of their classic hits, most of which I knew.

"You wanted the best, you got the best! The hottest band in the world, KISS!" They definitely don't live up to that intro, at least musically, but hey, you can't argue that they've nailed the "spectacle".

A+
