I’ll start by admitting up-front that I am not the biggest KISS fan, but I went to the concert to have a good time and catch an impressive show. My experience was almost ruined by four douchbags dressed up like KISS. Yes, you looked impressive and you appeared to be big KISS fans – why else would you dress up like the band? BUT you guys spent the majority of the concert with your backs turned to the stage while drunk people asked you for your picture. You guys paid less attention to the show then the bored 6-year old 10 feet away from us. Thanks for attracting drunk twits to our area while almost hitting me in the face 5 times with your foam guitar. You if want to pretend to be fans of a band in order to garner attention, please do it far from people who actually want to see the show.

This concert was general admission right? Oh wait – that was “your area”. I forgot that the band had personally set that area aside for you! How dare they enter your area!
But you’re right: Your enjoyment of the band that you’re not even a fan of is way more important than theirs.
Sounds like these guys had a much better time than you did.
oh snap
The first clue to you should have been that one of them was probably dressed as Peter Criss. Nobody wants to be Peter Criss, not even Peter Criss.
The thought of 89 year old Gene Simmons teetering on extreme platforms and waving his 127″ tongue around like a lasso was about as appealing as licking Marilyn Manson’s sweaty bag.
lots of sketch bags and cops
fuuuck here we go again.
Replay from last week++
Maybe to save some time, Tim can just take all the Sir Paul bitches and insert “KISS” instead.
“The first clue to you should have been that one of them was probably dressed as Peter Criss. Nobody wants to be Peter Criss, not even Peter Criss.”
GOLD PURE GOLD!!!!
Every time I drove the shuttle past there, someone was in handcuffs standing next to 2 cops. About the bitch, these guys were just trying to enjoy the show. There was nothing stopping you from going to a different part of the common area, so shut your pie hole.
Jeeze, a FOAM guitar. I’m sure that would have hurt sooo bad, FOAM is fucking dangerous, man. If that FOAM would have hit you, you’d be bruised for sure.
The only thing more annoying than posers are the people who get offended by them. Why the fuck do you give a shit if you’re not a KISS fan? You’re full of shit.
Is anybody in the KISS army NOT a poser? I mean, really?
How many years do you have to be in the KISS ARMY to be eligable for a pension?
Just to let the Kiss fans and other Concert goers know…the four guys referred to in this article were not the guys in Local Halifax Kiss Tribute Band DRESSED 2 KILL. Thanks Paul “Stanley” Stephens
Dude i am totaly in the KISS army an di am no poser
I was one of the guys dressed as KISS and yes, we had the “dangerous” foam guitars. Apologies for pissing off anyone but I think we brought more good than bad. No kidding, we got stopped at least 60 or 70 times for people wanting to get their pix taken with us. And yes, we had time for everyone that asked us and maybe missed a few minutes of the real band’s performance. Why? Because a concert is an interactive experience. You take in all that’s around you. If we wanted to see only the band onstage, we might’ve got a better view by renting a video. And for the record, going to a KISS concert in full make up is the best way to do it. We got hundreds of compliments and all the feedback we heard was positive. Anyone who went dressed or made up as KISS only enhanced the experience for everyone, in my opinion. We talked to lots of people that were happy to walk away with a photo of themselves with a decent looking KISS band at the show.
