The wife and I took our son to see KIX, Great White and Vince Neil last night at the West Virginia State Fair. I've seen Great White and Motley Crue several times in the past, but I've never been able to catch a KIX show. All I can say is DAMN! All the bands put on a great show, but in my opinion KIX stole it. I used up most of my memory card on KIX, so most of my pictures are from them. I took quite a few videos, and three surprisingly turned out good with one camera. My phone and other camera weren't worth a tinkers damn though.
Living in BFE West Virginia, it's been a long time since I didn't have to drive 3 to 5 hours to go see a concert. It was nice to drive an hour, and get to see a good show. If KIX rolls close to you, I highly recommend you go see them. Great White was good too, just damn solid. Mark Kendall had his typical killer tone, and was his normal slippery butter fingered self. The new singer for Great White did a solid job, but wasn't Jack Russell. It seemed to me he was too busy trying to play the part of a crooner. I don't know, he just kept reminding me of Neil Diamond while he was singing. I really didn't get any good shots of Vince Neil's band as the other camera and my phone were just terrible.
Vince Neil's band was good too. Vince Neil's band was basically Slaughter with Vince Neil singing. Vince did his normal butcher the song by singing every other word, but the band was tight and did a helluva rendition of Whole Lotta Love and Heaven and Hell with Jeff Bland singing and doing a damn good job on the vocals. Zoltan Chaney is hands down the best and wildest drummer I've seen in years. Great showman, and really was the best part of Vince's show for me.
Sound was great for all three bands. It was a great show, and I'm totally stoked that I got to see KIX as they were one of my favorite bands back in the day. Best $31.80 per head I've spent in a long time! Fair warning I'm sorry about the boucing in the video at the chorus. It was hard to keep myself from thrashing.
