“For one thing the performance is showing its age. Nowadays, Paul Stanley has to preface ‘Cold Gin’ with the '90s admonition not to drink and drive, and watching Ace Frehley or Peter Criss embark on a lengthy party-piece is a timely reminder of why solos went out with the turn of the decade. Added to which, an over-rehearsed sterility creeps into the performance – there’s no chemistry between the band members, with Ace in particular looking like he’s just going through the motions” (Heavy Hard Music Monthly, 11/96).

“KIϟϟ, the Peter Pans of Rock, stole the show with their rock 'n’ roll showmanship – fireworks, personalized helicopters, painted faces and zany costumes. Together with Ozzy Osbourne, they took on the new breed of yell-it-with-attitude metal merchants. And complete with painted faces and high-heeled boots, the headline act lived up to their billing for the 50,500 rockers who made the pilgrimage to Donington” (Derby Evening Telegraph, 8/19/97).

 "Time stands still and dinosaurs rule the earth at Castle Donington’s annual rockfest: heavy metal, isolated and supreme, returns to make a lot of noise for the benefit of 50,000 beer bellies squeezed into denims and band-emblazoned black T-shirts. Who better to headline such an even than KIϟϟ and Ozzy Osbourne… KIϟϟ still looked like refugees from the world’s worst S&M club. Originally part of Neil Bogart’s Casablanca empire – also responsible for unleashing Donna Summer and Midnight Express upon the world – the once took trash rock and glitter frenzy to its illogical heights… The bassist spat blood and fire, the guitars shot sparks, they strode on platforms the size of tricycles and had more lights than Blackpool. Their loud, empty songs, all fat choruses and cartoon leer, avoided the choler of the younger bands, preferring to keep things at groin level. I fear KIϟϟ, truly monsters of rock, will still be around to haunt us come the millennium“ (The Guardian, 8/21/96).

The day prior to this show Eric Singer and Bruce Kulick issued a press-release announcing their respective departures from KIϟϟ due to the success of the Reunion tour and likelihood of an extended, if not permanent, layoff from their line-up of the band.

KIϟϟ technically shared co-headlining billing with Ozzy for the 1996 Monsters of Rock festival but was the final act to perform due to size and complexity of their stage-show. The Evening Telegraph review of August 19 notes 50,500 fans attending.  "Rock Bottom,” “New York Groove,” and “Beth” were dropped from the set

On this day in Rock music history (Aug. 20th 1986)......Rick Allen, drummer for Def Leppard, proves the naysayers wrong and made his first live appearance with the band after losing an arm in a car accident, when they appeared at the Monsters Of Rock Festival, Castle Donington, England.
