Memories
Hi Everyone! While I was working on those posts I had a flashback from the concert on which I was in July. On July 9 in Poland, I had the pleasure of being at a rock concert for the first time! The star was Guns'n'Roses group (no need to introduce them). I must admit that despite their age (aroundthe age of 55), they gave us an amazing performance. It's true that I wasn't in the pit, but the view of jumping and singing fans, holding the flashlights during "November Rain" - beyond words! But enough of this because the main purpose of this post is to encourage you, music fans to go to a concert because it is really worth it. After I took part in this event I can say that listening to a music at home and at a concert are two completely different experiences. I know that prices are often not the greatest, but if you have the opportunity, JUST GO!
Kix
Kix is an American band formed in 1977 by Ronnie Younkins (guitar), Brian Forsythe (guitar) and Donnie Purnell (bass). A year later they were joined by vocalist Steve Whiteman.

In 1981 they released their first, self-titled debut album which instantly became a concert favorite with singles like "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah" or "Heartache". Kix partnered up with Ratt and Warrant producer Beau Hill and released Midnite Dynamite—their "self-proclaimed favorite record ever". Their greatest success was until 1995, containing the power ballad "Don't Close Your Eyes" with anti-suicide lyrics. The group broke up in 1995 only to reunited in 2003 with totally original line-up.
