Ace Frehley Live In Miami!

On tuesday october 29th we saw Ace Frehley live in Miami!
One day after our Ace Meet & Greet Experience @ Kruisefest we're happy to see the original Spaceman live this evening.
Before the show started we bought a cool Ace T-shirt. Kruisefest had several bands playing this day and one of them was Return Of The Comet, Ace's first solo band from way back in the 80's. It was so awesome that there was a Frehley's Comet reunion for the last 2 songs on the Return Of The Comet show! (More about this will be posted soon)

Around 11:15 PM it was time for Ace and we're ready. He started with Rip It Out, always a favorite song of us. Ace sounded great and he played some cool tunes like Hard Times, Snowblind & Rocket Ride!
Ace only played one song from his latest album Spaceman: Mission To Mars, here's our video:

Of course he did his smoking guitar solo during Shock Me and played on his lightbold guitar during New York Groove.
This was the setlist: Rip It Out, Parasite, Hard Times, Watchin' You, Snowblind, Rocket Ride, She, Strange Ways, Mission To Mars, New York Groove, shock Me, Cold Gin. Encores: Detroit Rock City & Deuce.
We had a awesome time seeing Ace live again and his show was a perfect ending of Kruisefest and a great start for the KISS Kruise IX.

Our Ace Frehley Meet & Greet Experience In Miami!!!

On monday october 28th, after we had our Peter Criss Meet & Greet Experience in Miami we headed over to the Hilton Blue Lagoon hotel for our next event: Our Ace Frehley Meet & Greet Experience! It's so incredible to get the chance to meet 2 original KISS members on 1 day!
We arrived around 4:30 PM at the hotel, after we've checked inn we went over to the Cove Ballroom for meeting the original Spaceman.

When it was our time to meet Ace we saw him sitting behind a table, he asked us how we are doing with a big smile on his face. We brought some cool items with us to get signed by Ace, first we let him sign was our wedding document:

Our wedding document was already signed by: Gene, Paul, Peter, Bruce, Tommy, Eric & Vinnie and we only needed Ace signature to make it complete, we're so happy now that all living members have signed it!
Next up for signing was KISS first album:
We only need Paul's signature to make it complete.
Also we let Ace sign the 12" vinyl single of Frehley's Comet: Into The Night:

A few minutes later Frehley's Comet members: John Regan & Tod Howarth would sign this 12" also, because we would meet the Return Of The Comet today aswell!
Last item Ace signed for us was the Frehley's Comet Live+1 CD cover for us:
During the signing Ace was talking to us and just kept smiling. When our time was up we thanked him for all his music.

A hour later it was time for our photo with the original Spaceman and as you all can see above they turned out great! After our photo was taking and we had to leave we give him a big hug. It has been 10 years ago when we've meet Ace in Bochum and we had another great experience with him today!
Here's the signed event poster we got:

And our Ace Frehley laminates:

We had a awesome day with meeting both Peter Criss & Ace Frehley and the KISS Kruise IX hasn't started yet...

We brought some cool items with us to get signed by Peter, first we let him sign our photo from New York:

Then we let him sign our copy of his solo album form 1978:

Aswell this Criss picture disc vinyl, Peter said it was so cool to sign this because it was kind of rare!

Our Return Of The Comet Meet & Greet!

On october 28th we had our Return Of The Comet Meet & Greet in Miami @ Kruisefest, a few minutes after we had our Meet & Greet Experience with Ace Frehley and earlier that day with Peter Criss!

Return Of The Comet included members from Ace's first band Frehley's Comet as John Regan & Tod Howarth and Richie Scarlet who was a member of the band some time later. With drummer Steve "Budgie" Werner they formed the Return Of The Comet and toured the US this year. So it was quite unique to have this meet & greet today.
We brought some cool items with us to get signed by the band, some of them were just signed by Ace Frehley:

Frehley's Comet first album, signed by John Regan & Tod Howarth.

12" vinyl single of Frehley's Comet: Into The Night signed by Ace, John & Tod.

CD covers of Frehley's Comet albums Second Sighting & Live + 1 signed by Ace, John & Tod.

Our last item was signed by the whole band: John Regan, Tod Howarth, Richie Scarlet & Steve "Budgie" Werner!
During signing our items we talked with all of them and we wished John a happy birthday! It was great to meet them and they were so kind to us. After we got everything signed we got our photo with the band and as all you can see above they turned out great!
When our time was up we said to them that we're looking forward to their show tomorrow and to the Frehley's Comet reunion, because Ace will be joining them for a few songs!

The next day we went to their show @ Kruisefest and it was so cool to hear all those Frehley's Comet songs finally live, like it's Over Now, Words Are Not Enough or Calling To You. We've enjoyed every minute of it! When it was time for the encores you could feel that something special was going to happen and then John announced the original Spaceman: Ace Frehley and we've got goosebumps at this moment, a Frehley's Comet reunion, and we were there! They played 2 songs together: Breakout & Rock Soldiers, here's our video of the last one:

It was so cool to see them all play together, it was like we got a moment back in time! We wished they played some more tunes but we're happy to witness it all tonight.
This was the setlist: Shot Full Of Rock, Something Moved, Animal, Into the Night, It's Over Now, Words Are Not Enough, Lost In Limbo, Bad Boys Of Rock, Do Ya, Calling To You & With A Little Help From My Friends. Encores: Breakout (with Ace Frehley) & Rock Soldiers (with Ace Frehley)

KISS Live In Iffezheim!

On saterday july 6th we saw KISS live in Iffezheim, Germany!
After a 4 hours drive by car we arrived around 11:30 AM at the galopprennbahn, were the show would take place. It was a horse racing track and a little bit strange location for a show. Another hot and sunny day and while we spend our time with other fans we were counting down the hours till the doors went open. We notice that a lot of fans decided, kind of last minute, to buy tickets for this show.

The doors went open at 6:30 PM and this time it all went very slowly till we passed the secrurity and finally reached the front of stage area, but lucky enough we managed to get first row and we were so happy.

At 9:10 PM it was time for the Hottest Band In The World...KISS! With a lot of smoke, pyro & bombs KISS came down on their platforms to the stage and started the show with Detroit Rock City! From this moment on it was party time, we had such a great desire in this show and the band sounded awesome. Paul recognized us again and when Tommy saw us he pointed to us and throw us a guitarpick, so cool!

Next up was Deuce, here's our video:

A couple of times we were to see on the big screen, as it was during Heaven's On Fire!

Always a great moment in the show is when Gene spit fire during I Love It Loud. This time we could feel the pyro so intense when they played Lick It Up, it was so close to us and so hot, but we liked it all, lol. Next up was Calling Dr. Love and we feeled some rain drops on us and when I looked up to the sky I saw some dark clouds, but some rain wouldn't not matter to us, we had a rock and roll party going on right now. But with the end of Calling Dr. Love Paul said: "we have to stop the show!" and the band was called of stage by their manager Doc McGee and suddenly it all was over! It was really a abrupt End Of The Road!

We had to clear the field and had to take shelter at the covered seat erea. It started to rain with thunder and lighting. The word was that the show was temporarily interrupted and probely would resumed as soon as this bad weather would be over. But unfortunately only 30 minutes later the show was definitive cancelled! We knew we were part of another page in KISStory today because we never heard that KISS had not finished their show in the past ever! We were feeling numb, it was so unreal to us that this show came to such a end we never ever could have expected.

This was the setlist: Detroit Rock City, Shout It Out Loud, Deuce, Say Yeah, I Love It Loud, Heaven's On Fire, War Machine (Gene breathes fire) Lick It Up & Calling Dr. Love.
What more can we say about this show? We had such a amazing time with KISS at this show as long as it lasted...
