Last night was the final show of the UK leg of the 'Sonic Boom Over Europe' KISS tour, which continues across the continent throughout May and June. Pure Rawk went along to check it out.

After openers Taking Dawn had warmed up the crowd, a gigantic black curtain bearing a silver KISS logo was unfurled to hide the stage. It didn't, however, hide the six confetti cannons in the pit, giving us a hint of what was to come, and also confirming our earlier suspicion that the band had indeed brought arena-sized stage effects to their Islington Academy gig in March.

At around 9pm the video screens kicked into life, prompting a roar from the crowd. In the moments before the band appeared, I had a slightly surreal moment noticing KISS manager Doc McGhee standing a couple of feet away watching himself on the (almost) live video feed showing KISS heading for the stage.

When I first saw KISS 2 years ago at Download 2008 it seemed like a total one-off. A singular date, no plans to record any new material and a set relying on the seminal Alive album. It was a hell of a show but I was left with the feeling that was the one and only time I would see the 'Hottest Band In The World' in a live environment.

Fast forward 2 years and not only have KISS just completed the UK leg of their new European tour they are doing it on the back of a new (and acclaimed by both fans and critics) album in 'Sonic Boom'.

When KISS first announced the tour though myself and friend Andrew sort of just left it. We had heard the album and knew how brilliant it was and obviously we knew what an amazing live act KISS were but we just sort of left it. Until about 2 months ago when we realized how annoyed and miserable we would feel if we were sat at work or at home knowing KISS were playing live in our country!

So off we headed to the sold out Wembley Arena on the last night of the UK leg of the (deep breath) 'Sonic Boom Over Europe: From The Beginning To The Boom Tour'.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!! They have not invented a word to describe the show I saw last night {wed 12th may 2010} Amazing,Awesome, Fantastic. These words just do not come close. I swear you get better as the years rock and roll by, or is that over. Not only do you give us lucky fans an outstanding show, you also give us respect and recognition for turning up. That is a rare occurrence with music artists today. Ive seen singers walk off stage in a mood over nothing. They will fall, whereas KISS will live forever. I definitely LOVE IT LOUD. Congrats to you all. Keep rockin... JIMBO..

KISS live now are better and bigger than ever. Being a 50 year old i was lucky enough to have seen both KISS shows at Hammy Odeon in 1976 and have seen them at least once on every UK tour since and a few in Europe and USA.I got along to seven of the nine Sonic Boom UK shows and every one was just fantastic.Thank you KISS for playing so many indoor UK shows on this tour.

KISS IS EVERYWHERE!

REVENGE RELEASED

KISS released their critically acclaimed REVENGE album May 14th, 1992. With producer Bob Ezrin at the helm, a ferocious KISS delivered one of their heaviest and best albums ever! All the band members shined on this release! Ever reliable Paul Stanley was on top of his game here, delivering impassioned vocals through out the album. Even the Demon returned and proved what a committed and focused Gene Simmons is capable of! New drummer Eric Singer' power and intensity added to the KISS assault and Bruce Kulick recorded what many consider his finest KISS guitar work. REVENGE debuted at #6 on Billboard and remained on the charts for twenty three weeks. The album was certified Gold on 07/20/92.

REVENGE, which was dedicated to Eric Carr, also featured 'Carr Jam 1981,' an instrumental track written by Carr that Ezrin discovered from The Elder recordings. The song featured a thunderous Carr drum solo as the centerpiece and was a fitting tribute to the beloved drummer.

KISS released four music videos for REVENGE, 'Unholy', 'I Just Wanna', 'Domino' and 'Everytime I Look At You'. A video for 'God Gave Rock And Roll to You' was released in November 1991 to support the Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey movie soundtrack.

REVENGE Track Listing:

Unholy / Take It Off / Tough Love / Spit / God Gave Rock & Roll to You II / Domino / Heart of Chrome / Thou Shalt Not / Every Time I Look At You / Paralyzed / I Just Wanna / Carr Jam 1981

Hearing the distinctive entrance of "All right, Sheffield, you wanted the best, you got the best, the hottest band in the world, KISS!", the crowd went wild.

The opening riff of "Modern Day Delilah" resounded through the arena as the curtain fell to reveal the rockers in trademark tight costumes and make-up.

Paul Stanley got the crowd roaring to "Crazy Crazy Nights", which sounded as good as when it broke into the UK Top 10 back in 1987. The band continued to amaze fans with classics such as "Calling Dr Love", and when Tommy Thayer took on Ace Frehley's role as vocalist on "Shock Me", the song ended perfectly with a guitar and drum solo, and fireworks and explosions going off here, there and everywhere.
