World champ meets Rock Champs
I figure a lot of people would like to express their opinion or talk about the new tour (you know, share concert stories, discuss setlist) and what better way to do that right here since I will be covering the Alive 35 tour anyway.
I set up some default Forums to start with. These made the most sense at the moment, we will see how discussion develops and can always anticipate new Forums being added or irrelevant ones being cut. Of course these boards will also come in handy when new Podcast shows are released, it’s much easier to talk about show contents, show audio when you the space and platform to do so.
Although registration is required to make and respond to posts, it is free to register and all are welcome. You can set your own avatar (if you don’t have one, there is a default set from which you can choose) and signature to distinguish yourself visually. Hopefully you like the compact design of the Forum pages, please keep in mind that some minor bugs can appear due to the boards being brand new. When this happens just drop me an e-mail. Also if you have any suggestions let me know too.
Please enjoy the new Forums and please keep it clean, thanks

Enjoyed myself at the UK KISS Expo
My trip to the UK was a big succes and I enjoyed myself immensely (thanks Nige). I recorded over 5 hours worth of audio during the UK KISS Expo, which will take me some time to edit and make a new show. The old show is almost done but because I’ll be in Paris for 4 days (yeah, I get around these days 
) it is going to take a little longer to release.
In the meantime I added some pictures to the Gallery, for you to enjoy, taken during the UK KISS Expo III. You can also enjoy this video of Eric Singer playing drums with UK tribute band Dressed to Kill on the song Do You Love Me (AVI - 9,8 Mb, 1:00 min, 320x240). More photo’s and video’s can be found here on Martin Curtis’ website.
