First Show In Tampa

Posted on 10/22/2009
I'm only 14 and have been a KISS fan for 6 years. But sadly I haven't been able to go to a KISS concert during those 6 years. But last night I saw my first ever Kiss concert in Tampa! I was a little worried at first because I didn't see any kids there except very young kids. I bought almost every single item at the tour store. I bought Eric Singer drum sticks and Tommy Thayer strings and picks (because I like to play along to a lot of the classic Kiss songs), a hoodie, 3 shirts, a wrist band, and the the whole concert on a usb wristband. But I wanted most was a autograph, which I knew I wouldn't get because of the modern music age. But what I did get was a guitar pick that Gene practiced with! I almost passed out! After I had my "WOW" moment we listened to Buckcherry and then ending up buying both of their albums there. Then the greatest moment finally came! Kiss was about to play! When the announcer started the awesome call "You wanted the best, you got the best! The hottest band in the world! Kiss!" I was cheering and yelling to it and fell out of my seat because of the rockets... They sound a lot louder in concert! The band was loud and proud and rocking out to the classics (best) from the 70's. Honestly my favorite was Black Diamond, when Paul started playing Stairway To Heaven. But all and all it was an amazing experience and I hope you guys come back to Florida! Keep rocking!
