KISS Show Sets Sarnia Ablaze
By Tara Hagan, The Observer
Thousands of screaming fans 'loved-it-loud' last night when legendary rockers KISS took to the stage at Sarnia Bayfest.
"How you doin' people?" yelled Paul Stanley to a screaming crowd, with cameras high in the air, at 10 p.m. sharp. "Did you come tonight to get some rock 'n' roll?"Well you came to the right place."
Outrageous pyrotechnics exploded on the massive stage as frontman Gene Simmons belted out the opening hit, 'Deuce', amid a thundering roar from an 18,000-strong crowd, dominated by their famous fan following known affectionately as the KISS Army.
Stanley followed up with 'Strutter', before embarking on a number of classic hits.
