PEOPLE!!! I am fine! I am not in ICU! My heart allows me to do 26 miles a day on my bike! I don’t know where this came from but it’s absolute nonsense.

[Revel]

Is he sick or is that fake test again?

[logi_cal869]

Fake test. Duplicitous fear report claiming a positive test and ‘diagnosed with covid’.

Total BS.

[Veggie Todd]

Some unscrupulous soul could use those batch numbers on their fake card. Plus, the idea to use a date stamp instead of just writing in the date makes it look more official.

Not me, of course. But some 'other' unscrupulous soul.

I saw KISS in July of 1975.

Beat that!

[P.O.E.]

There’s got to be a librarian with a date stamp somewhere who’s willing to make a few bucks on the side. /s

[P.O.E.]

I saw Black Sabbath in 1972

[Fungi]

So what! Never seen them, don’t want to see them and their music sucks. Beat that.
Listen to wht you want....

[Az Joe]

You’re just sayin that because you secretly WANT to see them

I read you like a book

[Kickass Conservative]

I saw The Doors in 68 at the Hollywood Bowl.

Next…

I guess Gene Simmons might have to rethink his trust in the vaccine.

From a few days ago he compared folks not taking the jab to flat-earhters:

“By the way, vaccinate yourselves so you can come see us and fly on airlines.

“I don’t care what you believe, you ain’t getting into the shows if you’re not safe. You’re not going to risk somebody else’s life because you think the Earth is flat.

“I don’t care what you believe, I want everybody to be safe.”

Nice work my friend.

I went to a Quicksilver concert in 1970 but when we got there it was sold out.

Also did actually see Sha Na Na in 1969. My first ever concert.

KRAMER: Look at her. This is a lonely woman looking for companionship.. ... Spinster. ...

Maybe a virgin. ... Maybe she got hurt a long time ago. She was a schoolgirl.

There was a boy It didn't work out. Now she needs a little tenderness. She needs a little understanding.

She needs a little Kramer.

JERRY: Eventually a little shot of penicillin.

Hey...it happens sometimes with these "vaccines."

I mean we hear people getting polio all the time, right?

Right?

I saw them in 79 on their Dynasty tour.

Can't beat that but I met Kiss at Best Buy in store that was having a grand opening in 2003. All the original members except Ace Frehley were there in full makeup and costumes and took pictures with fans. I never received the email with the picture. 2003 But got to shake Paul Stanley's hand and he said thanks for coming out.

*this is some other guy but what it looked like at the Best Buy in store on July 23, 2003

The following report on the KISS appearance at Best Buy was posted by hard rock radio personality Eddie Trunk on his web site:

"KISS Wednesday at Best Buy brought out the KISS faithful in droves. No matter how much people bitch and moan to me about what KISS does, it always amazes me how they still show up for EVERYTHING! The line of fans stretched about 1 1/2 city blocks, and inside the store was just crazy. A very frantic vibe, and a bit disorganized to start. The band arrived in full costume around 3:45, and they looked great. It was the 'Alive'-era costumes, and everybody looked in great shape and in great spirits. The band was in a very small space, which added to the insanity. Making matters more crazy was the fact that there were a ton of photographers in a roped off area, adding to the congestion. The band arrived, posed for photos for about 10 minutes, then moved a few feet over to stools where the photo shoot with fans started. KISS also gave a gold record to Best Buy for the new 'Alive 4'. This was NOT an autograph session, just a fan photo shoot. Kind of like meeting Santa Claus when you were a kid! I saw Ozzy use this same approach a couple years ago at in stores. I spoke briefly with Tommy, Paul & Peter, never caught up with Gene. Nothing major, just a quick hello. Talked to Paul about his guest DJ gig on Q104 earlier that day, and Peter about the upcoming tour. Also, it looked like they were showing clips from the 'Alive 4' DVD in the store, and they looked awesome. After I introed the band, I split to make room for all the fans coming through. A typical crazy KISS event, but the store I think was a bit unprepared for the volume of people and should have had a better set up. Maybe it was good that the weather was bad, because if it wasn't, or if the event was on a weekend, there would have been double the people! Also there was a small symphony playing KISS songs in the corner. Very cool, but they were drown out by the fans focused on meeting the band."

That’s great! I still have my ticket from that concert in 79. It was $10.00.
