March 28, 2018. A date and a day that will remain forever etched in my memory. Because it's the day I finally could see a group in concert that I wanted to see for so many years ..... Evanescence, the only and one, a legendary band.
I remember the first time I heard Evanescence in my life. I was ten or eleven, I was in car with my family, and my mother turned on the radio. There was the song "Going Under" playing at this moment and I remember I liked it.
The concert was a bit special because Evanescence was accompanied on stage by a symphony orchestra. The grandeur and luxury of the concert hall, I almost believed myself in an opera.
There was no opening act band, but for the opening, the orchestra first played alone and played some classics. I even recognized mozart and beethoven. I do not listen much classical music but I can recognize the great classics when I hear them. It was interesting and especially a little funny when you know that the audience was composed of fans of rock and metal. But after all, rock and classical music has always been well mixed.
And finally, they arrived. Evanescence. When Amy Lee finally appeared and I finally saw her for real, my heart made a huge leap in my chest. She is even more beautiful in reality, and her voice ..... Her voice ..... For me one of the most beautiful voices in the world .... The voice of an angel sent to earth to sing for the rockers and metalheads. Those who say she has grown too old and her voice is no longer top ..... Bullshits! She is only 36 years old, and her voice has remained magnificent. I rarely had so many thrills at a concert. I have not seen the time pass and it is very quickly pass unfortunately :( Evanescence I miss you already!
I left the room, smiling, with a t-shirt and a poster in my arms, and of course the few photos and videos I made in memory of that day.
This February 4, 2017 will have been one of the best days of my life. First of all, I received in the morning my rare action figure that I ordered on the internet, of good quality, which I waited impatiently, and in the evening I knew that an important concert took place: At the Zenith, One of my favorite concert places in Paris, was going to be a great concert, with three bands I'm a fan of: Beyond the Black, Powerwolf, and headliner, Epica!
Arriving in the Zenith, where I had not been for two years, when I saw the scene again, I nostalgically remembered my concerts with Motörhead, Kiss and ZZ Top. It was in the Zenith of Paris that I had my most epic concerts. Despite many people who had arrived before me, I could place myself and have a good overview of the whole concert.
To start the evening, a Symphonic Metal band from Germany, which I had discovered (by chance) on youtube and whose style I immediately liked: Beyond the Black. Even if the band played only five or six songs, I was very happy to see them and hear them, in addition for their first visit to Paris. If you like metal music with intonations that make you think to fantasy and celtic, Beyond the Black should please you. In any case, for their first time in Paris, they managed to heat the room. Bravo!
The second band of the evening, but not the least, because it is a band I have been waiting for several years now, and of which I knew in advance that I was not going to be disappointed: the werewolves coming from Germany, a and whose notoriety grows at high speed for our greatest happiness: Powerwolf! The group already has a great notoriety in France because when they arrived on stage, they were received like kings. In video they are already impressive, but live, I was amazed. Their costumes, sets, their music.... They as much surprised me than when I saw Lordi and Ghost for the first time. They played some of my favorites, such as Army of the Night, Amen and Attack, Sanctified with Dynamite, or We Drink your Blood. The singer, Attila Dorn, spoke a little in French, saying that this evening was the mass of Heavy Metal. Indeed, I almost believed myself in a black Mass. My expectations were worth it, and I will go back to Powerwolf with great pleasure.
And to finish the evening, of course, the starring band, with so powerful and epic music, mixing metal and classical music, that it transports you into fantastic worlds. I want to talk about the one and only Epica. Before Epica started, I talked with two very nice guys, who told me that they had come expressly from the city of Brest, in Brittany, to see the concert, because they are very fans of Epica. With the lighting effects, the fireworks, the pyrotechnical effects, the concert of Epica has marked me as much as the concerts of Nightwish and Kiss that I did. Simone Simons, one of my metal angels, beautiful and superb voice, with her long hair of fire, has spellbound the crowd, as much as the rest of the band with the epic guitar riffs, frenzied drums and resonant keyboard. A fucking great show with a big "S".
Ah, another very good point during this evening. I met one of my foreign friends of Facebook, Madlen, whom I recognized at a distance thanks to her cool Powerwolf's makeup. I knew she was coming to Paris for the concert, but with the crowd there was, I could not find her right away. We talked, and made a picture both, to keep a memory of course. I am very happy to have met her, because I'm friend with her for several years already, and for me, it is very important to can meet my friends online. Who said that online friends are not true friends? Well, this is false. The value of distance is nothing. Unfortunately I could not stay long with her because it was pretty late, and I had to make it quick to take the last transport and avoid getting stuck in Paris. But as I told her, I hope and I'm sure we'll meet again at other events. See you next time Madlen :) \m/
Madlen also has a blog, which I will give you the link: Maddy's Blabbering
To finish a year by the concert of a group that you like is good, but to finish with a group that is part of your top 3 personal is better. This happened to me on December 1st, in Paris, when I went to see the group that for me is the future of rock music: Airbourne.
For my last concert of the year, I was not alone, because my father was with me. I made him discover Airbourne, he loved, and he wanted to see them in live, and there too he loved. For the concert I was on one of the balconies, close to the stage, with a very good overview. I could have chosen to go into the pit, but I knew that with Airbourne, the pit would turn into a battlefield, and I was right. From the first song, the entire pit began to become a crazy mess. But that's it, the Airbourne style!
At the beginning, I was a little afraid because I had learned from the news that a group of terrorists had planned a new attack on Paris the day I went to see the concert but fortunately, the cops arrested the terrorists and defeated their plans in advance. I can not say if the concert room le Trianon was one of their targets, but I was reassured. Thank you to the police and the anti-terrorism unit.
For the concert, Airbourne played a few songs from the new album released this year, but also many old songs, such as No Way but the Hard Way, or Too Much Too Young Too Fast, and of course the best known: Live It Up and Runnin 'Wild. The atmosphere was completely electric and the room was full. Joel O'Keeffe, the leader of the band, sprinkled the first rows of the pit with cans of beer, as usual, smashing them on his skull. He also went through the crowd playing the guitar, all on the shoulders of a vigil. At one point, during a song, Joel noticed me. I made the horns of the devil in his direction, he was looking towards the balcony at that moment. He smiled, and made the horns of the devil in my direction. I was too happy. And of course, Airbourne also paid tribute to one of their idols, the great Lemmy Kilmister, playing the tribute song they created for him: It's All for Rock N Roll.
Setlist of the show:
Ready to Rock
Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast
Chewin' the Fat
Rivalry
Girls in Black
It's All for Rock 'n' Roll
Down on You
Breakin' Outta Hell
No Way but the Hard Way
Stand Up for Rock 'n' Roll
Live It Up
Runnin' Wild
Thank you fucking much Airbourne, for have made my last concert of 2016, a 200% rock show, hot as hell!!!!
Last night, on a cold November night, and despite the cold and rain, I lived one of my best concerts of this year.
Tarja Turunen, the great soprano singer of Metal, a true legend in Finland, ended her tour by coming to the French capital, and I had the honor of being there. The concert hall was the Casino de Paris, a rich, huge, well-known room in France, which dates back more than 100 years (it was inaugurated in 1880).
Tarja, the only and one <3
The first opening act band: The Shiver
The second opening act band: Sinheresy
For this beautiful end of tour, there was not only one, but two first parts in the show. Although I liked the band The Shiver with their mix of rock and electro elements, I admit that I preferred the second band, Sinheresy, whose the style Symphonic / Heavy metal, is in the line of the great groups like Nightwish or Within Tempation. A new discovery for me, to the point that I made a photo with three of the members of Sinheresy after the concert, as a memory.
But of course the artist I was most impatiently waiting for was the Finnish queen of metal in person, the one and only, Tarja Turunen, always as beautiful, as much by the voice as her appearance. Accompanied by her group, she gave us almost two hours of an unforgettable show, in the old and magnificent decoration of the Casino (of which Tarja told us that it's a very beautiful place). For the concert, Tarja was dressed in a magnificent large black dress, decorated with feathers of ravens, like a raven princess of metal. Her outfit was almost Medieval Fantasy and I loved it, I even thinked about the Night's Watch from Game of Thrones. Even though the audience had to be seated on seats, the atmosphere was not affected. The French metal public was there, to acclaim Tarja, because in France, she is loved and respected, her audience is faithful and will always remain. For the last songs, the public (including myself), we all raised for her and have remained standing, and the vigils have let us do. In short, a magnificent concert full of colors and emotions, and metal! A great way to finish a tour. Thanks to you, beautiful Tarja, to give us so much happiness through your voice and your songs. You will always be welcome in France, we love you!
Last night I went to Paris to attend my first concert of this year 2016 and for the third consecutive year, I start my concerts with one of my favorite bands, in my personal top 4: Halestorm. And in the first part, a group that I already knew, I had discovered and seen in live last year: Wilson.
Waited 1 hour in the cold and rain, very exhausted and breathless after the show, but super happy of my evening.
To start the evening, a group from Detroit, Michigan: Wilson. I saw this band in live last year, as opening act for Halestorm too, at the Bataclan. But see them again made me become an even bigger fan of them, and they managed so well to set the mood in the room with their sound heavy and hard. Great Wilson!
I've heard so much about them that I don't present them anymore, and being my third concert with them, I knew what to expect and it was going to be electric: Yes, Halestorm! With the beautiful and lovely Lzzy Hale, that I still love so much <3 and I always take pleasure in listening. But for this show, Halestorm made a special song, a cover of Eagles of Death Metal, in tribute to the victims of the terrorist attacks of the Bataclan. Halestorm had done a show in this room (I was there), few months ago before the tragedy. Halestorm was deeply affected and they made it clear to me and the rest of the crowd, they are with us and they love us. We also love you Halestorm, thank you to you to give us energy and smile. We all stay strong! \m/
Lzzy <3 I love you! \m/
And to finish, a big thanks to Wilson for this selfie with them after the show! \m/
We all have favorite bands and concerts that mark the spirit more than others. This happened to me the two times I saw my favorite band of all time, Motörhead. I was supposed to see again the band a third time in February 2016, but unfortunately fate has decided otherwise. Fuck you fate and fuck you cancer.
1. Motörhead - Airbourne -
Tarja Turunen - Blackrain
(Hard Rock Session - August 10, 2014 -
Colmar)
The first time I saw Motörhead! A day I could never forget. My father, who is also a fan of the group, came with me. You should have seen me, I was like a kid. Motörhead was at the Hard Rock Session 2014, with three other groups, but of course Motörhead was headlining. At first I was a little worried because the weather had announced rain, but there was none. When Motörhead arrived on the stage, everyone (including me and my father) began to scream and applaud to welcome the group as required. When I saw Lemmy for the first time, arrived on stage with his bass, inside, I was like a child who sees his hero in real life for the first time.
"Good evening! Are you alright? We are Motörhead, and we play Rock N Roll!" What a joy to hear this, for real. While Lemmy was emerging from a difficult period, and although the group played a little slower than usual, the concert was excellent and I did not see the time passing. My father and I headbanged like crazy, and we sang songs. We were like children. For the concert, we were on the side of Lemmy. I had some great photos during the concert, but my only regret is to not having videos.
Setlist:
1. Damage Case
2. Stay Clean
3. Metropolis
4. Over the Top
5. Guitar solo
6. The Chase Is Better Than the Catch
7. Rock It
8. Lost Woman Blues
9. Doctor Rock
10. Drums solo
11. Just 'Cos You Got the Power
12. Going to Brazil
13. Killed by Death
14. Ace of Spades
15. Overkill
2. Motörhead
(November 18, 2014 - Zenith, Paris)
And only a few months after my first time, I come across an ad for a Motörhead concert in Paris. And as I live near the capital, I could not resist and bought a ticket. My father did not come with me this time. During the trip, I was excited to see the group, even more than the first time. If my first concert was very good, the second was even better. Lemmy was in better shape, and the band played a lot faster. I was both happy to see again the band, but also to see that Lemmy felt better. I could not imagine that this was the second and last time I saw Motörhead live. But at least I had the chance to see and hear them in real life, and I keep wonderful memories of these two shows. Thank you Motörhead. Thank you Lemmy. And Rock N Roll! \m/
Last night, I was back in Paris, to go to my last concert of the year 2015. I was at la Cigale, to see one of my favorite Swedish bands. A group that I had already seen last year, but I'm never tired of seeing them: Ghost.
It was the first time I went to La Cigale, and I must say it's a really beautiful concert hall, and the architecture was perfect for a group like Ghost. I saw my friend Elodia in the concert room and we saw the show together. It's better to have friends with you rather than being alone, it's even more fun.
Dead Soul \m/
The opening act band was also a Swedish group, called Dead Soul. I had listened to some of their clips on youtube a few days before the concert, and I was eager to see them in live. I liked their style, Electro / Rock mix, dark and melodic, with the powerful voice of the singer. The style and the group name are well find for a tour with Ghost. Although for my part, even if I find that the public had a little trouble to react at first, they enjoyed Dead Soul as opening act. Great job Dead Soul, you rock. \m/
Ghost \m/
Of course, when the intro of Ghost started and the group appeared on the stage, the crowd exploded completely and the atmosphere became overexcited. I remembered seeing a video of Ghost, abroad, who had made a minute of silence during a concert, in tribute to the victims of the terrorist attacks from November 13, and it had really touched me. This concert in Paris last night was a really special and important day for them and for the show they did to us, I thank them a million times. There have been several mosh pits during the concert, and I was caught in one of them. I've been shoved in all directions and I got my feet crushed. Painful, but I didn't let that spoil my evening.
Last year, I had seen Ghostin broad daylight,andthey did not havetheir decorortheirlight effects, so it looksless impressive.Butlast night, I couldsee them in theirelement: the dark,andit'sfuckingbeautiful.Ghostis not justan auditoryspectacle,but alsovisual. And, surprise at the beginning of the concert: Alpha was back. Great! :D
Of course, Papa Emeritus III do not lack of humor and make laugh several times the crowd with his allusions "a bit extreme" XD
For the songs, well, they played classics like "Ritual", "Year Zero", "Ghuleh / Zombie Queen" and "Monstrance Clock", and of course they played songs from their new album, like "Cirice ","From the Pinnacle to the Pit"or "Absolution". I will put the full setlist at the end of the article.
They ended the concert with Monstrance Clock of course, and damn, what a epic time it was. All the crowd (including myself), hands outstretched in the air, singing with Papa Emeritus, all in choirs. A moment that touched my metalhead's heart and remains engraved forever. Thank you again Ghost for this wonderful moment with you, and I hope to see you again as soon as possible. You love France, and France loves you!
Oh, and at the end of the concert, thanks to my friend Elodia, I managed to get a plectrum of Ghost, now that I keep preciously in my room. Another memory of this memorable Ritual.
My video of the show:
And as promised, the complete Ghost setlist of the show:
1. Spirit 2. From the Pinnacle to the Pit 3. Ritual 4. Con Clavi Con Dio 5. Per Aspera ad Inferi 6. Body and Blood 7. Devil Church 8. Cirice 9. Year Zero 10. Spöksonat 11. He Is 12. Absolution 13. Mummy Dust 14. Jigolo Har Megiddo (accoustic) 15. Ghuleh/Zombie Queen 16. If You Have Ghosts 17. Monstrance Clock
Last night, another dream came true: I go to Paris, to the Accor Hotels Arena (formerly Bercy), to see a Metal concert with two of my favorite bands: Arch Enemy and Nightwish (Amorphis was planned too, but I've missed them, I will explain why, after)
With the tragic events that hit France shortly before, I admit that the D-Day morning, I was pretty stressed out, even a little anxious to return to Paris. But I did not let my fear dominate me, I did not cancel my ticket and I went. As I said above, Amorphis was also planned in the concert, but I was late because of traffic jams and with security checks, I lost a little more time. But I can understand the controls, with what happened and I am very reassured that the police is as much present, it's reassuring. Before entering, I was stressed, but as soon as I enter in the arena, the stress has disappeared, giving way to joy. I was in my universe. I can't say how was Amorphis unfortunately.
Arch Enemy <3 \m/
Fortunately I arrived in time to see the Death Metal band, Arch Enemy, a group of which I am more and more fan and I wanted to see them in live since some time. I have a crush on the singer of the group, Alissa White-Gluz, she is among my favorite metal singers <3. Arch Enemy are really impressive, both on CD and live. Before Nightwish, they put a crazy atmosphere and heat the room properly. I thinks that Arch Enemy managed to conquer Paris and the heart of the French people, as we conquered their hearts, because they were really happy to be here.
Nightwish <3 \m/
And then, of course, the star group of the evening happened: one of the best known Finnish bands in the world, and also the reference of the Symphonic Metal: Nightwish! I wait since 2013 to see them in live, and my dream came true.
As Alissa, I also have a crush on the new Nightwish singer, Floor Jansen <3. She has such a beautiful voice, I was blown away several times ..... And she' so beautiful too <3
Nightwish played several of my favorite songs, like Nemo, Elan, Ghost Love Score, While your lips are still red, Sleeping Sun ..... And many others. The means were here: flaming explosions, fireworks, giant screens behind the stage that showed beautiful images .... In short, the big show, like the KISS concert at the Zenith in June.
During the concert, Nightwish made several tributes to France, and especially for the victims of the attacks that took place on November 13. The group encouraged us, told us to stay strong, they were with us to support us. During the song "Sleeping Sun", many people of the public turned their lighters like candles. It was a really beautiful, sad and moving moment, I even had a small tear in the corner of the eye. Anyway thank you very much Nightwish for the tributes, for Paris but also for the whole France. Paris loves you Nightwish, France loves you, and you love us too. You give warmth in the hearts of the French fans, and mine too. Thank you for this incredible Metal night. We were here, and still standing! \m/
La nuit du 10 Novembre 2015, dans la ville de Mamers, dans la Sarthe, j'ai pu vivre mon premier live du groupe français de "Dark Country" Rock, en provenance de la ville de Caen, les très talentueux Undobar. J'avais déjà entendu parler d'eux et déjà entendu leurs chansons par les albums que mon père possède, et j'ai immédiatement accroché le style. "Billions of Days", "Drive your Car", "Roaring", "Promises" et "Digging your Grave" font partie de mes chansons préférés, tellement elles ont marqué mon esprit. Il me tardait de les voir en live, eh bien c'est chose faite, et je ne suis pas du tout déçu, loin de là, même pour une première partie. Groupe très talentueux, avec un style unique, et aussi des gars vraiment sympathiques avec qui j'ai eu le plaisir de parler un peu après leur performance. Maintenant, la seule chose que je me demande est: à quand mon prochain concert d'Undobar? :)
Keep on Rockin Undobar \m/
From September 8 to 11, I was traveling with my family, and I was for the first time in my life, in the Netherlands, in the city of Amsterdam. We stayed in a small and comfortable chalet in a very well organized and maintained campsite. The first two days we toured and visit the city and its different neighborhoods. Amsterdam is a beautiful city, with old buildings and water channels almost everywhere. The hotels downtown are very luxurious and seem really expensive, and in the evening, the city is bustling. The shops are also very interesting, and many sell t-shirts and accessories metalheads, a paradise for me. People are really nice too, they were cool with us. And we were lucky to have a good weather throughout all the trip. I buy many memories that I will wear with pride. I have not often traveled abroad, but this little stay in the Netherlands was an opportunity, especially before starting my correspondence courses, so I'm happy of my trip.
And great stroke of luck, during my trip to Amsterdam, I went to a concert, to see a French band whose I am very fan: Shaka Ponk. They played in a small concert room located at a short distance from the downtown area and I could, with my sister, having the opportunity to see them again, and I was not disappointed. Shaka Ponk were amazing, as usual. I managed to be in the front row during the concert. I usually don't care about the place, but this time, I was happy. And after an amazing show, another equally amazing thing happened: I got to meet and talk with members of Shaka Ponk, and I had photos with some members of the band. It was a dream come true for me: To meet Shaka Ponk and talk to them. I comes back from my trip with a big smile and memories that will remain etched in my memory forever. Thank you Amsterdam and Thank you Shaka Ponk! \m/
Two days ago, I celebrated a rather special birthday for me, because a year ago, to the day, August 10, 2014, I saw for the first time in my life, in live, three of my favorite artists, in the same show: the beautiful Tarja Turunen, the dynamic band Airbourne, and the legendary Motörhead!
The evening marked my mind forever, and it's with a great nostalgia and great joy that I remember all these wonderful memories, those pictures I took of this memorable Hard Rock Session and I am happy and proud to have been able to participate. I will soon see again Motörhead, for the third time, and if ever Airbourne and Tarja come back to France, I would be really glad to see them again too.
Keep Rockin! \m/
The month of June is over, and this is one of the months that I have been looking forward to the most this year, you will understand why. This June, I had three exceptional concerts with extraordinary bands I wanted to see for a long time. June was my 200% Rockin month.
1. June 5: Shaka Ponk (Parc des Noues, Montereau)
To begin the month of June, I went to Montereau, a town located not far from Paris and my village to go to a small festival, and see one of the most emblematic French group from these recent years: Shaka Ponk, THE band that revolutionized rock in France. I knew them long before that day and one of my dreams was to see them live, and it was done. The concert was outdoors, in hot weather, no rain and storm, and a little bit of wind to bring us freshness. What to say than that the concert was insane from start to finish, with an endless energy, a cheering crowd (including myself) and Shaka Ponk in top form. Great job Shaka! Monkey Power!
2. June 16: KISS (w/ The Dead Daisies) (Zenith, Paris)
Finally! Finally I was able to see them in live. I was waiting for this for over two years and it became reality. The hottest band in the world has returned to Paris for a single date in France and I was there. When I was waiting in the concert room, I can tell you that I was really excited. Before the concert, I discussed with really nice people, and I was next to a girl of my age, very cute, with black hair and wearing the make-up of Gene Simmons. I complimented her on her makeup, she thanked me and we talked a little. And when the curtain fell and KISS started, I exploded, like the rest of the crowd. Bursts of flames, lighting and lasers, mobile platforms ..... KISS really put the means for this incredible show. One of the highlights is when Gene Simmons was on its mobile platform above the crowd and passed right above me. He was only at four or five meters from me. And they ended the concert with Rock and Roll all Night and a shower of confetti. Anyway, I can say that my first Kissxperience was one of the hottest nights of my life.
3. June 26: ZZ Top (w/ Ben Miller Band) (Zenith, Paris)
Ten days only after KISS, I was back at the Zenith of Paris, and this time, to see another legendary group, a southern rock icon: ZZ Top. I went with my father because he too likes ZZ Top and he had never seen them in live, so he came with me. We plunged into the world of the Southern rock and go back in time in the 70's with this concert. Even if the group exists since 1969, ZZ Top are still fit and send good sound rock as we like, and that's really great. Like me, my father was very happy at the end.
Thanks to these three concerts I experienced a tremendous start to the summer and moments that I will never forget.
June 16 was a date I was looking forward for months, I'll tell you why. Last night, I could finally see them in live, the hottest band in the world, and whose I am very fan: the legendary band KISS. How many times I have dreamed of this moment? And now this dream come true, and I hope to live it again if the group comes back one day to France. For the concert, I put a shirt KISS but no makeup because I don't feel comfortable with this on my face, that's why I only put masks. But anyway, this is not the topic of this article, so here is a summary of my first evening with KISS.
Selfie before the stage
Before the show begins
I'm not arrived late at Zenith, and I was able to find a good place in the pit.
Before the concert, I discussed with really nice people. I was next to a girl my age, who had Gene Simmons makeup. She said it was the first time she saw them in live too.
The opening band was The Dead Daisies. I did not know them but I really liked their style, vibrant and metal. Very good discovery.
When the curtain with the band's logo stood up, everyone, including me, was impatient and we start screaming "KISS" several times. The lights went out, and the famous intro started: "Alright Paris! You wanted the best? You got the best! The hottest band in the world ..... KISS!!"
I had chills in the back and the curtain fell, the show began! KISS began with their song "Detroit Rock City". The crowd exploded, and me too.
Opening act band: The Dead Daisies
KISS starts!
KISS has put all the means in this concert: explosions of flames, mobile platforms, lasers, lighting effects, giant screens ..... The big show! Gene Simmons spit fire, he also spit blood and flew over the stage with his demon's wings. Paul Stanley held onto a grapple and it passed over the pit to go on a estrada, and do a solo. He even invited two kids to come close to him as he made his solo. They were shy, but we encouraged them. These two kids will never forget this night, and I'm happy for them.
KISS has made a few of my favorite songs like "Hell or Hallelujah", "God of Thunder", "Psycho Circus", "Shout it out Loud" or "Rock and Roll all Night."
At a moment, Gene and Tommy were on mobile platforms that passed above the pit, and Gene passed just above me. He was maybe at three or four meters above me, it was great! Besides, I don't understand why fans say that Tommy and Eric did not deserve to be in the group. They are excellents, I have seen that in live. Tommy is full of energy on stage, and Eric has a masterful drumming. An epic moment is when Paul began to sing the anthem of France, in French! And we all sang with him. It was really funny! Paul has a really good French.
At the end of the show, I was sad it's over, but damn, I was also super tired and super super happy to have lived this. Thanks KISS from all my heart for this unforgettable evening. Rock And Roll!! \m/ \m/
And now, some shots of the concert:
