Those long-gone days have even faded as memories but watching
Detroit Rock City has brought the glorious times for
17-year-olds back with a passion.
Okay, the guys in Detroit Rock City are mega Kiss fans -
and while they were a semi-acceptable band to follow it could
never be said they would threaten the Genesis albums in this
bloke's record collection.
But for Jam, Hawk, Lex and Trip the whole reason for their
existence is to get to see Kiss live. Twice before they've
been close to achieving rock nirvana by attending a Kiss concert,
but fate had always dealt an unkind hand.
Now they've got four tickets and Detroit is but a short drive
away. Only problem is that the tickets are destroyed by a
seriously uptight religious mum and suddenly finding new ways
to get to the concert take on emergency status.
The soundtrack is excellent and you realize that there was
a lot of good music around in those times and you'll find
yourself checking out the credits to find out the name of
the song/band whose music you liked but have half forgotten.
For mine, it was Cheap Trick and Surrender. The trials and
tribulations of the four are very funny and there were so
many hilarious moments in Detroit Rock City they are
hard to detail. But the toilet scene, the male strip joint
and the delicious payback of the smartarse young Kiss hood
are excellent.
This is not brain food, this is a sit down and relax DVD
that will have late-thirty-somethings reliving their teens
and teens wishing they had been part of it.
Hugely enjoyable!
