kiss - Diary of an Ardent Fan

Thank you Chris Jericho and all of Kuarantine for such a great, fun show in Franklin, Ohio. For those that don’t know, this is a non makeup era KISS tribute band. I love all KISS albums but especially the 80s/90s period. And this band gives those songs the love and respect they deserve. Thank you guys.

Plus, this was my first show since having a biopsy. It felt great being back in the saddle.

I’ll be busy this month with more shows.

I went to some of the Saturday portion of Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival 2023 in Columbus, Ohio.

I only saw Trivium super briefly, which I’m disappointed about because I really wanted to see them.

I saw some of From Ashes To New and most of Falling In Reverse.

I only saw video of Puscifer, Maynard James Keenan of Tool/A Perfect Circle other band because I had a decent spot waiting for my favorite band which I will get to shortly.

Rob Zombie was the co-headliner.

This was my 4th time seeing him.

He’s always great and fun.

But the main event was what made me the most happy. My favorite band KISS!!

I’ve seen them 11 times in the past 25 years, and I love every album and every lineup this band has had.

They never let me down.

I always feel 16 again when I listen to them and see them.

I love many bands but they make me the most happy.

Thank you so much to them for everything they have done and made.

And if this was my last time seeing them (I’ve said that before), then it was a great last time.
