KISS/Buckcherry Concert at San Diego, CA

I guess I have to admit a couple of things (well maybe several, but I keep it simple). First of all, this was my very first concert I actually attended. And I went there with my dad. Well, KISS wasnt pretty much my favorite band, but it is for my dad. He's been attending his shows since he was a teenager (pretty close to my age). And, he always want to take me to one of those. Well, he reached his opportunity. KISS will be performing at San Diego (with special guest, my favorite band, Buckcherry!).

The Sports Arena was packed I gotta say! Got the tickets, and I was amazed to say that my dad bought the best seats ever! And he got them at a pretty good price too!

Buckcherry started to perform at 7:30 sharp. They have a new album that (I think) it's now available. They performed great songs such as "Crazy Bitch", "Rescue Me" (my favorite out of all), and "Next To You". They also performed some old ones such as "Sorry".

At 8:30, the stage was in preparation for what was going to be the best show ever, me and my dad drank lots of water, soda (and he drank a beer :P), because we are gonna be loud. My dad says, "Prepare yourself, KISS is 10 times louder than Buckcherry". Uhhh, I think I left my ear plugs at home. O_o

And...the show begins....with the words:
"ALRIGHT SAN DIEGO! *insert dad scream here* YOU WANT THE BEST? YOU GOT THE BEST! THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD! KISS!!!! *insert another dad scream here*"

and finally it begins with a BANG. Literally.

KISS performed a wide variety of classics such as "Deuce", "Rock and Roll All Night", "Calling Dr. Love", "God of Thunder", and some others I forget alot that I need my dad to remember. :P

"Rock and Roll All Night" was one of the best performances ever. It was the time I got to jump and sing to the song (even if I dont even know the full lyrics of the song). I did the same with "Calling Dr. Love". They ended the show with "Detroit Rock City". And it was just amazing...

What's more amazing that we were so close to the stage (and the band!). It was perfect for me to take pictures and maybe some video clips from my cellphone (which I should upload them when I get a chance). The explosion was so loud it almost destroyed my hearing (sarsactically :P), and the flames were so warm, why the hell did we bring a jacket? And Paul Stanley flying across the stage while performing "Love Gun" was like...oh my god.

If you have me as a Facebooker, you can look at my pictures from my new album "KISS feat. Buckcherry In Concert!!!".

A random twitterer/youtuber managed to send me some concert clips via twitter...my god, he is my lifesaver! My dad was looking for a clip from last night's concert everywhere! Thank you so much @HarveyCast for the clips!

Here are a couple that he sent me:

(Includes the great conclusion of this awesome concert)

Just 24 hours later, I just couldnt stop bragging about whatever happened last night...I mean, it just happened. and I totally forgot the fact that I have (and recovering from) Rhinovirus. I bought a few Buckcherry songs on iTunes, I started listening to my dad's KISS albums, I mean, wtf did I become? I have to admit one thing, I'm officially a KISS-maniac. I fell in love with Buckcherry. I mean, it was an instant. That show changed how I listen to music forever. Maybe later on when KISS is back on tour and returns to San Diego, count me in on the next show...and maybe be just a little closer to the stage... Thanks dad for showing me who truly are the Gods of Rock. KISS.
