KISS Tour Australia 2013

[GORGAR 1]

The only song I would have liked is 100,000 years but I'm also happy with set list, I park sort of opposite on the water front side in the multi story car park. I'm going to the Gene Simmons talk event at 1230 on the Tuesday so I'll let you guys know where I park :-)

Went to the show in Perth last night, had a good time.  Kiss were good still. Wry entertaining. They laid the cheese on thick with the nobody rocks like Springfield Perth type of thing a few too many times. But it's all part of the act i guess, it was a decent show.

Motley Crüe weren't bad although Vince Neil is the weakest link in that band, he struggled vocally IMO. Probably doesn't help that he doesn't appear too fit.

No change from when they toured a few years ago then.

Watching him puff and wheeze his way through the aptly named Kickstart My Heart destroyed my teenage memories.  Kick....puff...start.....ma....art.....custom built bike....wheeze....103

Oh well, I'll find out if there's any improvement on Sunday night after the Clipsal 500 race - corporate box for me.

Vince Neil's voice has been deteriorating for years now. I felt Corabi was a much better singer (when he was in the band). I guess if you know his voice is stuffed, then it is not a huge disappointment. They use female back up singers to hit the high notes. I feel for Mick Mars - still one of the most underrated guitarists in Metal, but his health is also on the decline. There are a lot of great docos about the Crue on Youtube - These guys are lucky to be alive.

Stanley's voice is also in the decline. Throat surgery didn't help. In theirs 60's now, so it might be getting closer to pulling the curtain. They still rock harder than bands half their age and I'm looking forward to the Melbourne shows. I'm going with two other friends that I used to go to gigs with in the late 80's.

I was very impressed with Mick Mars, knowing all his health issues he's had for years he still does a great job. Plus hes quite a bit older than the other guys too from memory.

Oh and motley Crüe like pinball bumper put I think 5 pinballs in the dressing room today

I'm going early (second show), to see Motley Crue. If I can get there early enough, I'm keen to catch Thin Lizzy. I beleive Marco Mendoza is in the lineup and he is an amazing bass player. If John Sykes was in the band I would make a point to be there. Both excellent musicians. Back on to Motley - They were crap in 1989 - probably the worst live act to grace our shores in years. I'm very pumped to them tomorrow.

Peter - I expect a full report tonight !

So they story goes - the stage lighting rig caught fire at the clipsal show and Paul Stanley did an impromptu version of "Light my fire"

I'm in yee haa/ thin lizy singing boys are back town

[Mr Pinbologist]

Can anyone tell me who the lineup is in Thin Lizzy??

I would've thought there would be no Thin Lizzy without Phil Lynott (and Gary Moore, was one of the guitarists for a few yrs on and off) so im wondering who is in the band now

Amazing concert! I finally got to see Mötley Crüe live and wasn't disappointed....then KISS....absolutely amazing. A band that mystified me ever since I was a child playing Atari with my mum's cousin. His room was adorned with these scary looking figured called KISS. Finally got to experience the spectacle of a live KISS concert. I like my music with a twist of theatrics.

Didn't see any of the AP boys there, but texted with Peter like schoolgirls afterwards. Hahaha

Cheers!
Adam.
