Scoop Feedback:
December 27, 1998... We begin our page for this film with an on-set report from this lucky rocker. Very cool how the filmmakers and KISS are making sure that their fans won't catch any continuity errors in the film:
"Kiss has been filming in and around Toronto for about the last month, with members flying in and out, around their current tour schedule. I was an extra last night (Dec 3/98) at Copp's Coliseum in Hamilton, ON ( just outside of Toronto) where all of the original Kiss gang were re-creating the 1978 'Love Gun' tour at Cobo Hall. Amazing is all I can say, having seen that tour in Toronto in '78. They re-created it right down to the Marshall amps, costumes, pyrotechnics and lighting,moving cages and elevating riser for the drum kit. Peter Criss even had to have body makeup since in '78 he had only 1 tattoo and now has 5." ['Bandi1' got the tour t-shirt.]
And can anyone confirm that actor Sam Huntington plays a part in this film? The President of Sam's Online Fan Club has been trying to ascertain if the actor is or isn't playing one of the four teenagers trying to sneak in to the KISS concert.
