KISS UP CLOSE & PERSONAL TEUSDAY 18 MAY 2004: Enmore Theatre Sydney Australia It�s being 10years this coming Sunday, since the night to remember. I was so overwhelmed with excitement I had just seen them {Kiss} the nite before in a full-on concert. Tonite was the nite I went to Enmore Theatre with my {A} reserved ticket but, when I got to the front of the line security said what the f**king hell are we going to do with this disabled guy in a massive motorised scooter. Security went to Gene Simmons. Gene said let him go backstage {side entrance with all their gear} to get in then I was put up the front just under Gene Gene gave me a smile when I showed him his solo album. Lucky security gave me ear plugs that nite or would be deaf in my only good hearing ear but, my scooter was rockin� What a show just blown away at the end of the nite got a drumstick of Eric Singer and guitar picks off Tommy Thayer nothing off Gene and Paul except there magical presence and to finish the show-off covered in confetti but who cares what a nite once in a lifetime. A brief history: October 28 1986 had an operation for brain tumour that left me a coma for ten weeks but, what kept me alive was listening to Double Platinum and The Elder all thanks to my sister. Too young to see them in 1980 just 11years old now since in a wheelchair seen KISS 7 times just hope next time soon they come to Canberra that would be awesome. People say why KISS �it�s time to move on� I just say they were there when I needed them!!! I�ve been a true fan since 1979 when my neighbour let me listen to Dynasty I just fell in love with these icons of rock �n� roll. Their also like a good bottle of wine get better with age. I WANTED THE BEST I GOT THE BEST THE HOTTEST BAND ON THE PLANET Your Aussie fan Chris
