KISS playing Islington Academy, London, TONIGHT!

[Karin_Sixx]

Kiss are playing, what was a secret gig, at the Islington Academy tonight, 800 person capacity.
It's sold out beyond imagination.
I'm going to the venue, I don't have a ticket, but I'm getting in. Not missing this.

A crazy, crazy night beckons for those who managed to beg, borrow or steal a ticket for tonight’s intimate Kiss show at Islington academy.

Just so you know, we got goosebumps just writing that sentence above.

Tonight sees the hottest band in the world turning up the heat to the kind of level that would make Satan himself reaching for an ice bucket. As revealed on Kissonline.com, Kiss soundchecked with a mammoth 16-song setlist yesterday afternoon as the prepare to blow the roof off of London’s tiny Islington academy. if they bring their full pyro, we might mean that last statement literally.

Without further ado, check out the pictures from the band’s soundcheck below and come back to Metal Hammer tomorrow for a full round-up from the gig itself. It’s going to be (hot, hot) hotter than hell!

I tried getting tickets last week....sold out in 18 minutes.

I heard only 500 tickets were released to the public?

Damn you and your connections!!!

[Karin_Sixx]

Seriously, it's so hard, I've asked my friend who works for their press agency, another who works at Metal Hammer, another who knows their management.
I'm on my last resort, which is a friend who lives in Holllywood who dated and is friends with Eric Singer.
If I can't get list through a band member, then I am fucked, sneaking in is very very last resort.

This is the tightest gig EVER.

That about sums it up.

Did Paul suck his finger in front of you?

[Karin_Sixx]

It wasn't Paul that was the problem.

It wasn't Paul that was the problem.

Oh, do tell.

Basically, a member of one of my favorite bands saw me, got my phone number and called me up yesterday asking me to come over to the hotel he was staying at to have some fun with him and his tongue.

[bucketsixx]

Good point, Pauls a fag.

So did you take Gene up on his offer?

[Karin_Sixx]

The phone call was so amazing, I couldn't believe it.
I didn't even see him, he saw me from the blacked out people carrier he was in. Asked the security guard to find out who I was and to get my number because he wanted to talk to me and meet me.
I met all the others though.

Unfortunatly for Gene I had to cancel on him.
I just told his head of security (who I know and who was the one who had my number originally) that I was extremely flattered, and that he's very charming, but I'm not a groupie and I don't do that kinda thing.
I had already made plans and I'm kinda seeing someone. I do regret it if I'm honest, but he's back in a couple of months and I'm getting passes, so who knows what'll happen, haha.
