KISSonline was lucky enough to be at tonight's soundcheck at O2 Academy in London! If tonight was any indication of what the audience can expect tomorrow night, KISS is going to destroy the 02 when the KISS Army packs this small club! The extended soundcheck was extra-long, with the band tearing through 16 songs, including "Say Yeah," "Calling Dr. Love," and "100,000 Years!" The band was clearly in good spirits, joking around on stage, and it was so much fun to watch them work out how to do their signature moves in such a small space, especially with regard to "Black Diamond" and "Deuce!"

Here are a few photos of the band getting ready for tomorrow night's show!

When we get back from Europe, we'll post some video clips from the soundcheck.

Here's tech Fran Stewart getting Paul's guitars ready for Tuesday's show after the band's soundcheck last night.

The gentlemen are a little older. Since 1974 they have sold approximately 80 million records.

They are called The Demon, The Starchild, The Spaceman and The Cat. They are known under the band name KISS. And their stage show is as addicting as crack ...

Just like Vladimir Klitschko (33.) KISS gave him an order: Rock "Fast Eddie" out!

The boxing world champion met the hard rockers at "Wetten, dass ..?" in Erfurt.

Guitarist Paul Stanley and bass player Gene Simmons (with the long tongue) identified themselves as Klitschko fans since the last time the double Champs visited the United States.

Stanley handed Klitschko his battered Washburn guitar, stating: "Do the same with Eddie Chambers!"

"Fast" Eddie Chambers won the World Cup in Hamburg, fighting with a win over Universum fighter Carl Froch. Now, the AMI calls Klitschko on March 20 in the Dusseldorf Arena(live, RTL.)

Today's episode of Germany's "Hallo Deutschland" contained even more footage from KISS' appearance on "Wetten, Dass..?" The show went behind-the-scenes with fans as they formed a giant live KISS logo, interviewed the band, and also showed what happened to Paul's guitar, smashed at the end of KISS' performance...

Heavyweight world champion boxer Vladimir Klitschko proudly took it home... autographed by the entire band!

Here's the clip!

Here's a photo of European television personality Michelle Hunziker (seen on "Wetten, Dass..?") wearing Catman makeup!

Thanks to Thomas Schade for sending KISSonline the photo!

KISS' Saturday appearance on Germany's "Wetten, Dass..?" had the highest number of viewers on German television that night, beating both Olympic coverage and "German Superstar."

Here's an article from the German newspaper Dortmund Ruhr Nachrichten. Thanks to Olaf Suplicki for sending the image!
