KISS IN CHARLOTTE SATURDAY
August 27, 2010

All they're made up to be

By Courtney Devores

Titling its 2010 tour "The Hottest Show on Earth" may seem clairvoyant on Kiss' part given the skyrocketing summer temperatures, but according to Paul Stanley it's not literal.

"...Not because of the weather. The show is by far the best Kiss show ever. Any band with money can buy smoke machines and big sound systems," he told the Observer recently. "Technology really allowed us to take this to a whole other level. I don't mean moving sidewalks on stage with dancers. Its rock 'n' roll as spectacle. Massive screens, screens built into the amplifiers, the lighting - everything is taken to the next step. The set list covers more territory than what we've done before and really celebrates the history."

That set list covers early tracks such as "Cold Gin" to Kiss' 2009 album "Sonic Boom," as well as representatives of dalliances with disco ("I Was Made For Loving You") and hair-metal ("Crazy Crazy Nights") and classics "Love Gun" and "Detroit Rock City." Recent reviews indicate almost as many vocal contributions from Gene Simmons as Stanley.

Charlotte fans will find out for sure Saturday when Kiss (with Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer filling Ace Frehley's and Peter Criss' roles) returns to Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre for the first time since 2003.

With a new album - a Wal-Mart exclusive in the U.S. and the band's first since 1998's "Psycho Circus" - some older songs have fallen away to make room for new ones. Stanley doesn't mind.

"There are songs we have to do because they're the classics. Look, I'm not only in the band. I'm a fan of the band. My favorite songs are the ones that are popular."

There may be no moving sidewalks or choreography, but with Kiss having lent its brand to everything from a coffin to a coffeehouse in Myrtle Beach, could a Kiss-themed rock-opera style musical be far behind?

Says Stanley: "It might be possible, and we'd do it as long as it maintained the personality of being a rock 'n' roll band and not being a Vegas act. There's enough of that out there."

Oh, and I'll also be seeing Eric put on a drumming clinic that Peter Criss could NEVER pass.

And let me throw in a football comment, since it seems like a highjacker or two didn't like our Charlotte-KISS lovefest and decided football should be the topic on this KISS fan website: Compared to the length of the Panthers' existence, by this same length of time into the Cowboys' existence, Dallas had indeed won a Super Bowl. Check your NFL history. I've been a Cowboys fan for more than 30 years, and here's the biggest reason why: In addition to being one of the most popular teams in the NFL, the Cowboys are also *THE* most hated. The COMPLETE absense of ANY objectivity on the part of Dallas-haters makes me like the Cowboys that much more. Has ANYONE who hates the Cowboys EVER uttered even ONE open-minded, objective remark about them? I'm still waiting for that to happen. But I am NOT holding my breath.

Well I don't care how old he is.

I'm 41, and Eric Singer has kicked ass everytime he's grabbed the mic. Peter NEVER nailed this song live. He was always off-key, slurring, drunk or all of the above.

Eric has more pitch and control of his voice than Peter ever did... That's the truth.

Your point is?

Are you implying Peter, who could barely keep himself upright was superior?

I guess glossing over Peter's horrible singing and cutting to an irrelevant issue is fitting coming from you, since you are all about what's important.

I forgot; whenever someone makes a valid point you don't like but can't refute, you try to distract them or toss off a sarcastic remark. Pity real conversation is beyond you.

He's here to imply that anything KISS that doesn't include Ace/Pete is inferior. That's his job and he takes pride in it.

Yes, well commitment to a ridiculous cause is still commitment I guess, even when it removes all objectivity and authenticity.

17,773 added to total

KISS is donating one dollar from every admission sold throughout the Hottest Show On Earth Tour to the CSRA Wounded Warriors Care Project.

I was at the Charlotte KISS show last night; haven't gone to sleep yet; I drank 3 of those "5-hour Energy" things on the way back from Charlotte to Myrtle Beach.(They oughta call them "70-minute energy"). And as I expected, Eric Singer sang "Beth" better than Peter Criss, and once again proved that Peter can't hold Eric's jock-strap when it comes to drumming. One more VERY interesting detail: the opening act, The Academy Is, performed The Sweet's "Fox on the Run." Ace Frehley, and Spirit, would have LOVED it! Maybe. Just yankin chops here people; don't get all bent out of shape.

BeachJediSC · Post by **BeachJediSC** » Sun Aug 29, 2010 3:57 am

And that 17,000+ number sounds very accurate. We were packed in the lawn area, and the only empty chairs in the "seated area" were the seats that are not under the cover/roof area, and even some of those were occupied. Be interesting to see how many people show up to the Raleigh show tonight, since it's only a 2-hour drive from Charlotte.

spacemountain8 · Post by **spacemountain8** » Sun Aug 29, 2010 5:21 am

Man the show last night in Charlotte was just incredible! I can't believe the difference in this show vs the Greenville show last year. Paul had a few vocal issues but for the most part he sounded awesome and Gene sang better than I've ever heard him sing live. Great show. I hope all of you guys who went had as good of a time as we did.

I got a few really good shots...will try to post later this week (going to Raleigh tonight).

Met the lovely Ms. Shannon Tweed backstage...if anyone was wondering that was her on the screen during "Dr. Love." The kids were not there though.

The show was packed, and the band were very tight...looking forward to the show in the hometown tonight! (Where is the sticky for Raleigh, by the way??)

Totally agree. Paul was atrocious in Greenville, and his vibe was so down. I didn't think he should have continued. I thought he was superb last night; much stronger vocally and the complete sassy showman he has been.

So glad I went.

I thought that Paul's voice was a little better than my last show (2004), but still pretty rough. I couldn't believe it when he mentioned playing Raleigh the next night. From what I've read, that was much worse.
