KISS IS EVERYWHERE!

Here's a KISS feature from the 'Stader Tageblatt' newspaper in Germany. The story focused on KISS' upcoming Sonic Boom Over Europe show at Colorline Arena in Hamburg.

Gene Simmons will "cry with happiness" if he sees young fans dressed up as him on the forthcoming KISS tour.

The rockers kick off their series of concerts next month and admits he will be overcome with emotion if he sees youngsters emulate the group's heavily made-up appearance.

Gene - who is famous for his 'Demon' black and white face paint - said: "When I see a five-year old in KISS make-up on his Dad's shoulders at one of our concerts I will cry with happiness."

The 60-year-old star says fans going to the concerts will be in for a treat because the shows are so spectacular.

He told Absolute Radio DJ Iain Lee: "KISS is about size and the bigger the better. At some of the really big outdoor shows we have had to warn local airports not to send planes overhead because the fireworks can go up 500 feet."

Here are a few photos from the 2010 MusikMesse in Frankfurt, one of the biggest musical instruments trade shows in the world. As you can see both Paul Stanley and Tommy Thayer were represented at this year's show. Washburn showed the latest Paul Stanley signature guitars, and Hughes and Kettner displayed Tommy's signature amp stack with a life size Tommy display.

Thanks to Rutger De Groot for taking the photos for KISSonline.

Hi KISS!

Our city rocked last week with a KISS tribute night and fans came out

We wanted to honor the band's two Erics ......

Cheers,
