SONG OF THE DAY:

06.29.08 - Deuce (Live In Australia, 2008) - KISS

Note: I watched a video clip of this song on YouTube today, and I had tears in my eyes. For me, the anticipation of seeing KISS take the stage is a very surreal feeling. First, there is the ultra low tone playing over the PA system while the giant KISS curtain sheilds the stage. Next comes the famous KISS intro that every true fan can't help but chant along with the announcer. Finally, Paul Stanley plays the intro to "Deuce," and the curtain drops. "You Wanted the Best, You Got the Best...the Hottest Band in the World...KIIIIISSSSS!"
