    kix is my fave band live these guys are incredible once i saw them and the singer said Ronnie is in rehab and Brian himself played alone but he sounded huge and beautiful tone, i think to myself how Brian can get a huge sound even with single coils tele yea these guys are something special and the singer is hilarious too, love kix

    Waited since Martha Quinn showed me these guys....finally FINALLY in 2017 I got see Kix in concert! They blew away Queensryche....that new singer gots to go....Ronnie was absent from this show and the band showed deep love 4 him....they really care for Ronnie. Brian did ALL guitars and it sounded amazing but the fans and the band were missing Ronnie. Great video here Jason and Ronnie makes me 😃 smile. He is a good dude!

    What a guy! What a fighter! And, what strikes me is that he is as humble and honest as Steve and Brian have been in your interviews with them. As for Kix retiring I fully understand it. They've been around for so long and as much as they still rock time takes it's toll on people. And no matter what, the music will live on!

Thank You for posting this. We will be there on the 17th Ronnie. Once that I heard that you would be there I bought tickets. Looking forward to the new Blues Vultures Album and hopefully some shows.

    Sad to hear Kix will be no more after this fall. But honestly they have done more shows the past few years then many other bands in a lifetime. Why Donnie still is hateful is beyond me as he must have made some royalties off his songs. But glad to see Ronnie doing well. He and Brian were a hullva team, complimenting each other’s styles. Loved the band from album one all the way to now, and still have a soft spot for Baby Timebomb, Red Red Hot and the Itch.

    Addiction is a real situation, and It's life long. It's not a 'illness' like cancer or dementia, however it is life long. Either you have it under control or you don't. People don't understand that it's not just drugs like heroin or meth or drinking alcohol.. If you have the need to ingest something everyday that changes your brain chemistry in any way. I e. Caffeine, nicotine, marijuana, you are a addict... For me it doesn't matter if you smoke a joint to get right, or smoke meth. A drug is a drug. Dependency on that substance or you get an attitude makes you an addict. Also it's all or nothing. Addicts cant socially use. "I only shoot heroin on Friday and Saturday nites"... Bullshit. You either shoot dope everyday as often as you can OR you don't. Period... It's that black and white.

  • @andybroad189

    If Ronnie's going to be there I don't see why he couldn't just play the set with them instead of being a special guest. Also, like any other Ticketmaster event, "people" didn't buy all those pavilion tickets

      @@gregpeterson994 Steal? More than likely when they decided to get back together, they learned nobody owned the name so they grabbed it. Nothing Donnie could do because he didn't start the band. And if Donnie was involved in the so called reunion, it would have never happened. It's a fact the other guys were not happy with Donnie controlling everything, especially Steve. Mike Mc brought up Ratt. Stephen Pearcy started Ratt. It was his band. For a knucklehead like Bobby Blotzer to take the name, add a bunch of nobodies, and call it Ratt is as lame as it gets.
