about 8 times.. Last time was the '96(?) Reunion Tour with Ace and Peter.. sold the farm to get 3rd row - Ace was 3 feet from me when he got on the platforms..
First show was '76 Destroyer.. saw them every tour after that through Creatures of the Night.. Ace had quit a few weeks before that show and Vinnie Vincent had taken his place.. I was sad that Ace wasn't there, but I liked Vinnie - the crowd didn't and chanted Ace's name the whole show.. especially during Vinnie's solo when he started playing Eruption.. not a good move..
Worst Kiss show I ever saw was on the Animalize tour - I think.. Vinnie was gone and Bruce Kulick was playing lead.. he was boring as a box of rocks and the band, without makeup, had lost its cool factor.. I didn't see them again until the Reunion Tour.. They were great during that tour..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
