I am going to see Kiss this weekend in Perth. I thought I had said my farewell in 2001....bought the premo seats, had a great time and said that's it, never again.
3 years later they come back and I find myself going again. The main reasons being that I haven't seen a great concert since then (pretty rare for Perth to get big international acts....usually east coast only) and I find the arguments about no new material, money hungry bastards to be a little petty. Sure, prices are expensive....but only because they can still get a turnout at that price....if the demand wasn't there it wouldn't work. As for no new material I don't find the argument holds....when you follow a little pub band looking for a break, they gig and gig trying to build support, without putting out new material each weekend. And we go along in support of that band, enjoying the show and the music they make. Why can't it be the same for older, established bands? I go along to a concert because I enjoy the music and in the case of Kiss, the spectacle. I don't expect new material, I expect a good time and I believe Kiss will deliver that in spades this weekend.
Just my point of view
