By their own admission this was their smallest gig in over 25 years - and it showcased what a tight ship KISS are right now.

There was no blood, fire, explosives or hydraulic lifts to divert your attention, just 100% rock n' roll with a healthy dash of outlandish make-up, of course.

Kicking off with Modern Day Delilah, the stack-booted and silver-suited quartet dipped into their vast back catalogue to drill out high tempo oldies Calling Dr. Love and 100,000 Years like guys half their age.

Hardly drawing breath, they provoked metal carnage during Black Diamond. And they turned up the heat even more for a celebratory Rock & Roll All Nite and Detroit Rock City.

As Gene Simmons once said: "Rock is about grabbing people's attention" -- and KISS allowed their music to do just that.

Norwegian news network NETT-TV has a feature on KISS's upcoming June 8 tour date in Trondheim as part of their Sonic Boom Over Europe tour.

Germany's edition of Metal Hammer magazine has a multi-page feature on KISS in the March issue.
