The following video of Kiss performing their classic “Deuce” is an example of one of the many reasons they are still selling out arenas all over the world over 35 years after their debut. Â Enjoy!

Seeing Kiss live is not just about seeing grown straight men perform in makeup, fireworks, rock and rolling all night and partying every day. Â It’s also about the Kiss Army. Â When I saw the Rock and Roll legends on August 14, 2010, I saw my own miniature version of the Mermaid Day Parade, a’la Kiss.

Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer- Kiss!
Though I’ve never been the biggest fan of Kiss‘ music, I’ve always had great respect and appreciated the bits and pieces I’ve seen of their stage shows, their legions of devoted fans and the fact that they’ve been around since 1973 and are still going! Â As I’ve been so blessed to see so many amazing artists perform, I owed it to myself to see the legendary Kiss. Â They are worth all the accolades they receive as they are phenomenal live. Â Jones Beach in New York is located literally on the water, so that by itself makes for a magical night and seeing the legendary Kiss on August 14, 2010 at this venue is definitely one for the books.
They had a really great LED screen behind them projecting trippy visuals, a huge flashing KISS logo, fireworks, rising bits of the stage, and of course most importantly, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons decked out in their finest Kiss gear! Â The audience was a very eclectic mix of people and I saw so many kids (literally 5 years old and less) with their parents in Kiss makeup! Pictures of that are coming soon, so stay tuned. Some people say Rock and Roll is dead. Â Judging from the crowd at the Kiss show, I’d say Rock and Roll is very much alive, it’s just morbidly obese. Â Coming soon, I’ll be posting a video I took of my favorite Kiss song “Deuce” so stay tuned for that. Â The band played all the songs a casual fan such as myself would want to hear such as “Beth,” “Rock and Roll All Nite,” “Lick It Up,” and “Detroit Rock City.” Â Paul Stanley invited many crowd sing-a-longs, Gene Simmons stuck out his enormously large tongue many times, Eric Singer performed a drum solo while he was over 50 feet high in the air and Tommy Thayer did a guitar solo with his guitar behind his head. Â What more could you ask for?

To celebrate the relaunch of Mr. Brainwash‘s hugely successful Icons art show in New York, he has added new pieces to the exhibit. The above photo is his vision of a Beatles and Kiss mash-up. I love it! Does this make you want to rock and roll all night or cry baby cry?
