Kiss in Cadot, WI Rockfest '06. Saw some pretty cool bands and performances. My friend gave the wife and I free VIP tix which was very cool. I've never been a big Kiss fan but I figured the live show would be entertaining. Well, I was wrong.

The WORST pile of shit I've ever heard or seen. Terrible sound (which was surprising because the sound guys running most of the bands were excellent. Kiss must've had their own guy.)
The pyrotechnics they were using to make up for their lack of skill on their instruments(

sorry to the guys that like them) weren't timed with the music and was so loud that several people later complained of permanent hearing loss. (Seriously LOUD like a rifle going off next to my ears all night. Gave me a ripping migraine headache)
Paul Stanley was being the biggest pussy. Someone shined a laser on stage and he turned into a diva and got all axle rose on everybody. "I'll kick yo ass if I see u shining that laser again"
Just a terribly disappointing show. And to make it worse, when my wife and I got back to our campsites to try and nurse our pyro induced headaches, the couple in the campsite next to ours kept listening to the full Hinder cd over and over and over again literally for hours while they attempted to have drunken sex.

If I ever hear that douche sing Lips of an Angel again, I'll kill someone.
But at least I had free beer the whole weekend as part of the VIP experience.
