Dear KissOnline.com: Wow... Wow!! WOW!!!! I just got home from the Kiss show here in Nashville at the Sommet Center. I sat 5th row center and caught TWO picks! I've been a Kiss fan since before I could talk. The first album I ever owned was "Rock And Roll Over" and I'm proud to say that my two-year old twins already know the entire album! I've seen Kiss many, many times and I have to say that tonight's show was one of THE BEST I've ever seen. I'd almost forgotten just how awesome a Kiss show was, but all it took was the first few bars of "Deuce" to bring it all back. I'd had a rough couple days and was looking forward to the show to get away from my troubles for a few hours. When the great Paul Stanley spoke about escaping from the real world for a while it literally brought tears to my eyes. That's what a Kiss show and what their music is all about- The Great Escape. I live in Nashville because I'm an Americana singer/songwriter. I write and sing hillbilly music these days but Kiss is still my all time favorite band. I even inject Kiss references into my songs- there were three references on my last album- i.e. "Love Theme From The Coxmen." I have a gig just 5 doors down from The Sommet Center at 11AM in the morning... I tried to keep myself from singing and hollering at the top of my lungs so I could sing for my lunch tomorrow- but I couldn't hold back!!! How could anyone ever hold back at a Kiss concert? THANKS KISS for an awesome show and for an awesome album- SONIC BOOM! Sincerely, Dave Cox DaveCoxMusic.com P.S. Congrats to the couple in the 3rd row. The guy proposed during "Love Gun" ... Just another part of the Kiss Spectacle!
