He understood with his mind that such an essay would take place sooner or later, but with his soul he hoped that it would not be soon ( The path joint with KISS, which started more than a decade ago, came to its finish line. - History I got acquainted with KISS thanks to MTV Russia - at the beginning of the 2000s, they were broadcasting a documentary where KISS appeared (for how many years I hadn?€™t tried to remember its name) that surprised me in a way. Then I began to figure out something bit by bit thanks to music shops like SOYUZ, rock shops of the city and music publications. In the second half of the 2000s, an Internet came to me)) and then a new stage started, when an incredible amount of information and materials became available to me about the band that was already important to me in the music. A special place was the KISSRussia forum (a separate respect to Albert, who supported and worked on this portal for years) on it I made new acquaintances, learned that Google with Yandex does not know and will not recognize. Later, a new platform, VK, appeared in a new way, where you could quench your thirst for knowledge and musical pleasure in a new way (at first it was an additional channel to KISSRussia, but after closing the form, it became the main one to this day). And a couple of years later I was able to become part of the KISS Army community administration, to be a useful member of my activities, as once someone else was useful for me giving content that I needed so much. Thanks to colleagues and members! - Live If we are talking about music, then it is indisputable that, apart from the records, the main thing is meeting at concerts with a group or performer, not to mention that it is possible to meet people who share your passion and concentrations as much as possible in this place and of time. Over the years I was lucky (really lucky) to attend KISS concerts more than once and each was different and important in its own way: 05/26/2008 - Alive 35 - St. Petersburg, Russia - the first concert and that says it all. 06/10/2010 - Sonic Boom Over Europe - Tampere, Finland - the first trip outside the country also to the KISS concert 06/03/2013 - Monster Tour - Helsinki, Finland - alas, not Russia again, a new experience of a fan bass trip, and not alone with a friend. 05/01/2017 - KISSWorld - Moscow, Russia - a concert in which faith was not enough given the three tours that went past the native expanses, special pieces from the group and a meeting with Moscow soldiers. 05/04/2017 - KISSWorld - Helsinki, Russia - in less than a week to see KISS is incomprehensible cool. 06/11/2019 - End Of The Road - St. Petersburg, Russia - the last concert in the hometown symbolically came out, considering May 2008 06/13/2019 - End Of The Road - Moscow, Russia - my most extreme concert for those who have been with me for so many years. For each concert, you can write a lot of text, but let it remain with me))) Once again, I note that each concert was unique and important in its own way. Just who was at a national concert in Europe will understand me in terms of how different cultures of the public are (this is a separate story that can once be cursed and about it). - Say Goodbye My path that I went through with KISS is coming to an end. Thank you for the fact that he was the way he was, they created, and I took it and paved paths for myself. Over the years I realized that music may be necessary and indispensable both in moments of joy and in sad moments and if it is in your heart it will not go out of fashion and will not become something that slows you down. Every year, month ... they gave a new color to musical and human interaction. THANKS to KISS for always being there and will be hereafter, but in a completely different way! Michael Seli
