Incredibly,
KISS may very well be bigger and better than ever. Laying down the blue-print for bombastic, over the top rock spectacles back in the 1970's (and thereby making it nearly impossible for any band before or since to even approximate the level of sensory overload and back-for-your-buck a KISS show delivers), the guys made good on their threat to up the ante. As they detailed when they appeared on my show leading up to Friday night at the United Center, they somehow managed to squeeze more lights, more pyro, bigger video screens, better sound and more tricks into their by now already classic, jaw-dropping onslaught. With a stunning new hit record "Sonic Boom" in the charts, it was like the Fourth Of July, Halloween and a deranged Ringling Brothers Circus colliding... on "11." An all-encompassing triumph.
