The Vinnie Vincent Forum - Where Freedom Rocks!

Great tour line up.. going to take the wife and daughter.. anyone have a presale code? for today

well fuck me sideways.............its actually worth the money now!!

i checked the prices earlier at work and i was weighing is it worth paying THAT much to drive 90 minutes?


i guess it is now...but still....im on the fence.

sorry i dont have a presale code but if you're signed up with ticketmaster u might get somethin in your inbox....or even google it and you might find something. i know i have before

Nightranger were also musical guests on Kiss Kruise 3 last year. Looks like they got on well with Kiss!

Ok got tickets on todays presale if you have a citi card you can get presale the code is 542418 if you need it.

The tickets are pricey at least I think so, its the most I've spent on tickets since the Whos first fake farewell tour. Oddly enough my daughter age 14 wanted to see Def Leppard Kiss is just a bonus. I figure Pauls voice will be like a butter knife scraping burnt toast by the time Aug rolls around. But still will be cool to see them one more time. Night ranger always puts on a great show, Brad Gillis is a killer guitar player very under rated. He was the go to guy to replace Randy Rhoads on quick notice. So over all a great line up to justify the cost.

I just got my ticket for Toronto. First section in front of the stage, maybe even within pick throwing range! Hopefully Dana Strum wont be there..
Didnt know Night Ranger was opening. Who will go on first, Def Leppard, or KISS? Surely no one would want to go out after KISS, but I saw them with Whitesnake in 1992 and Whitesnake insisted on going last and KISS didnt do any of their pyro that day.. They apologized profusely at the end of their set and threw out a ton of drumsticks picks and posters to the crowd..

Nice those tickets were about $1500 we stuck to the $107 tickets

There were non meet n greet tickets in the front sections but they sold out fast. I am going alone so I was able to get literally the last ticket in the section. Its still a VIP package so it comes with a bunch of merch but it was 'only' $350.. Def Leppard had half the seats as well and their meet n greet was $700. I got the tickets on the first day presale, they officially go on sale today.. My credit card limit is less than $1000 and I dont know what I'd really say to Gene and Paul anyways.. Thanks for all the licks..? Id rather meet Lady Gaga, but her $1500 meet n greet tickets were sold out instantly.. I think its cool that Gene said how he liked her stage act, it makes total sense..

I don't think Night Ranger has even sold an album in Australia!

I've never seen or bought one!

I'm hoping Night Ranger are on the Kiss Kruise again, though I'm not sure what the odds are of that. That was a pretty cool bonus on there last year. I would like to see Brad and Geoff do their thing, though I'm not really a fan of the band as such.

Nice. So is Nightranger off the tour now? All I remember hearing about is another band as openers.

KISS "Deuce" with Phil Collen of Def Leppard 8/2/2014 Atlantic City

[youtube][/youtube]

Phil Collen just blew Tommy Thayer off the stage and that solo was outstanding. This was what made Kiss such a hot band with Vinnie Vincent in that they deviated from that old pedestrian Ace Guitar style. That was so refreshing hearing the shredding rather than an actor playing a boring characterature of Ace Frehley every night. I would rather hear Ace than someone imitating him and I would rather hear someone new and refreshing than Ace. Rafael Moreira was amazing playing with Paul as he is such a great new technical player

Get rid of tommy and shove a stick up Paul and genes too comfortable situation. Actually get someone as fucked up as you can find. This is the only chance for kiss to make a good record. Friction is the way. Ok. Next kiss album should be called FRICTION

If life is too easy you make easy music. Fuck that.

My issues with vv are probably what makes him so good. Maybe I should shut my cake hole about vv from now on

No don't shut up Dino you are hitting home runs here

The boys in Def Leppard are having a blast on this tour. I guess the dead daisy's are going to open up when I see them later this month. That's Richard Fortus other band when hes not doing the Guns and Roses thing. Plus hes a local boy. My daughters best friend's uncle is taking her and has some connection with Fortus. Hoping to ride some coat tails back stage. Probably wont happen but I wont say no if it does.

Cool, good luck man!
