Exclusive: Today catch up with KISS backstage on Aussie tour
I truly can't put into words how incredible this experience was.
For 50 years, we have been rocking and rolling all night with these guys - and that's exactly what I got to do when I went backstage with an exclusive, access all areas pass with the legendary KISS as they kicked off their farewell tour of Australia in Melbourne.
It's a night I will never forget.

While this might be the last time the band performs in Australia, co-lead singer Paul Stanley told me the 'End of the Road World Tour' is a celebration of their music and fans.
"I think if you get the sense from what we're doing here, everybody's jovial," Stanley told me.
"This isn't morbid or morose. We're going on our victory lap. We're going round the world and really showing the people why they've loved us for so long."
Paul Stanley had plenty of time for Brooke, showing her a few licks on his iconic KISS guitar. Today
Gene Simmons (L) and Paul Stanley (R) had Brooke in stitches the entire time she was backstage. Today
And bandmate Gene Simmons said this concert is definitely a "big one"!
"Everything about us is size. Bigger is better - your girlfriend has been lying to you all these years - size does matter!," he said.
"Every show has got to be like the best show they've ever seen."
KISS play their final show in Melbourne tonight - and continue around the country, ending on the Gold Coast on September 10.
