The legendary American heavy metal band Kiss has revolutionized today Barcelona to mark the fortieth anniversary of its founding and has excited a dedicated, in a concert that did not disappoint the public, although it has not filled the Palau Sant Jordi, before the meeting tomorrow in Madrid.
With the painted face of black and white, as they have already used to his devotees, “The Demon”, its other name, have given everything. “Detroit Rock City” has opened a big night at the Sant Jordi of Barcelona, built for the Olympic Games in 1992 and used in 2015 for a Kiss.
At the head they have been, as always, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, the only founding members and stable for four decades the quartet, now complete Tommy Thayer on guitar and Eric Singer on drums. Paul has interacted much with the public, always in English and with that smug voice of metal.
They followed “Deuce”, “Psycho Circus” and “Creatures of the Night”, lesser known, but equally celebrated. The lights and the fireworks have helped make the night a spectacle of red and yellow, with fire as a key element. Sound, overwhelming. Energy, infinite.
The start was very powerful and was able to perceive the change of staging that Kiss has experienced in recent years, partly driven by former group members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss.
Today, Kiss comes out on stage in a much more dramatic and flamboyant way a couple of decades, which has been criticized by some of his audience and critics, but has finished impregnating numerous pop and rock artists and cementing the “merchandising” musical.
Metal party has not stopped and has continued with “War machine”, “Do you love me” and “Hell or Hallelujah”, which were the first rockets fired at night, you certainly have heard in media Barcelona.
Then he has come “Lick it up”, one of his greatest hits, which has become one of the highlights of the night. The group name has been projected on the big screen, with such characters as mythical, that there was no doubt who was to blame for such a revolution. KISS
He has also won “God of thunder”, in which Gene Simmons has flown literally in a spectacular way, and has risen twenty meters above the stage, with no resemblance to any string the subject. Once up, he shouted “Spain”, something the Catalan public has not received with much enthusiasm.
After the flight of Gene, Paul did not want to be outdone. Before touching “Love gun”, he has asked to shout his name very high and has started taking off. The public will love the idea of seeing someone flying over the Sant Jordi and even those who were sitting up could not prevent.
The craze has continued until now the turn of “Black Diamond”, subject to simulated terminate the concert, though no one believed them. Of course we have again come to play three of its most legendary successes. The first, “Shout it out loud”.
The public has been formed, mostly by fathers and mothers, who have left their children today having dinner with the grandparents, to enjoy the successes when they were young, they danced without stopping at the club.
This is the case of “I was made for lovin’you” or “Rock and Roll All Nite”, which closed the night with a shower of confetti white filled the stage and the audience, before Kiss visit tomorrow capital, in the Barclaycard Center of Madrid, which will complete the brief stay of American band in Spain.
Attendees, many with their faces painted like their idols, have kept the smile until you have left the Sant Jordi, in the mountain of Montjuïc, in a warm and perfect night in Barcelona, which has started the summer in the best as possible, but tomorrow will be Monday and touch up early.
