McDermott Quits Kiss Concerts

Actor Dylan McDermott has vowed not to attend another concert by his favourite childhood band Kiss - because he "doesn't get" the band's theatrical stage act now he's all grown up.

The Dark Blue star was once a dedicated member of the band's infamous legion of fans, dubbed the Kiss Army, and became obsessed with seeing the rockers perform their fire breathing, tongue-wagging, pyrotechnic shows live.

But after attending a recent show in Los Angeles as an adult, the 48-year-old star couldn't figure out why he was so obsessed with Paul Stanley's flamboyant, face-painted band.

The actor explains, "I was in the Kiss Army and I saw them 13 times. I would hitchhike three states to see Kiss. I loved them.

"But recently I went back and saw them in my 40s at the Staples Center and it wasn't the same.

I think maybe I was on something the 13 times I saw them because I didn't get it.

That was probably my last time".
