Hey Ken, thanks for taking the time to respond.
I understand what you mean when you speak of a sorta half-baked Kiss. One of my friends said that yes, of course he is jealous that I have tickets and he doesn't but I am only seeing half the band, therefore he is no where near as jealous as what he could be.
Basically I am only 19 years old, so I missed out on all the golden days of Kiss. I was too young to ever see the original band, so I guess 2 outta 4 ain't bad from where I'm sitting. (Detroit Rock City is my fave movie of all time)
I paid $110 australian for my ticket, which seemed pretty reasonable to me.
You are so so so lucky to have witnessed the original Kiss and to have been part of the Kiss generation.
BTW, what's your favourite Kiss song? Mine is "Sure Know Something"
