Are you ready to Rock and Roll All Night and Party Every Day? While even if you are, chances are Kiss isn’t; not without a vitamin B shot and some red bull mixed in with their prune juice. Of course this isn’t stopping them from bringing their massive stage show, big hair, and pyrotechnics to Caesars Windsor. While there may be some pesky laws in the United States about blowing up septuagenarians, it appears Canada is fairly tolerant to the idea of mixing a mid-life crisis with military grade munitions. So Windsor, lock up your grandmothers, KISS is coming to town.
On July 11th KISS will bring their classic rock circus to Caesars Windsor. Gene Simmons, one of the two pillars of the band, will be taking a break from his reality television series, Family Jewels, to strap on the body armor of his demonic alter ego, and do his best to relive 1978. Paul Stanley will be leading the band on to the stage for its thirty-seventh year on the road, and the latest in what seems like an infinite line of “farewell” tours. One has to wonder if the AARP has been alerted to this.
KISS will appear at Caesars Windsor on July 11
Those looking for Peter Criss or Ace Frehley probably should stay away from this show. In 2002, someone took the time to explain to Mr. Frehley what the words “farewell tour” really meant. When the band decided to go back on the road in 2003, Ace stuck by his “farewell tour” guns and told the rest of them to get stuffed. Peter Criss seems to have just simply wandered south one winter and never returned.
Okay, to be fair, KISS has always been more of a phenomenon then a band. While none of them will receive that level of professional respect that Steve Vai or Neal Pert enjoy as artists, they have sold over eighty-five million CDs, based on little more than repetitive power chords, double entendres, and lots of really big explosions. In short, they found the Beavis and Butthead that sits on the metaphorical couch inside an entire generation of music fans… and melted their ears. You can’t argue with success.
Tickets for this show are currently on sale at online at the Caesars Windsor website as well as the casino's box office.

Excuse me but septuagenarians means someone in their 70's and Kiss was big when I was in high school and I am in my 40's big difference between 40 and 70! Did someone miss their English classes too much?
I will assume the author is using hyperbole in his use of “septuagenarian” (though Gene turns sixty this year, so it isn't THAT much of a stretch...Go Gene!!!), but if you are going to criticize someone’s English skills, perhaps you shouldn't butcher the language yourself in your post. For the most part we can ignore the fact that comma use seems to be an alien concept to you, but your concluding sentence is an absolute mess. Perhaps you missed your English classes too often.
