KISS review: Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley's insanely entertaining theatrical extravaganza
KISS O2 review: Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley put on a highly energetic and mesmerising show full of fiery pyrotechnics and panto antics that left us wanting more and more.

Last night KISS played their 20th and final London concert, in the British capital where they proclaimed all their rock heroes originated from.
Just before 9pm, a giant curtain with the band’s name fell from the ceiling to reveal Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer descending from sci-fi platforms on high, bursting onto a stage engulfed in a flaming fireworks display.
We’ve never seen KISS live before and what might simultaneously be the first and last time was definitely one of the most entertaining gigs we’ve ever witnessed.
These four men may be in their sixties and seventies, but boy do they know how to put on a relentlessly energetic show thanks to their legendary shock rock.
All the more impressive is seeing the band stomping around in their incredible, over-the-top, camp superhero costumes – complete with giant heels and kabuki makeup.
