Hi KISS!!

Last Tuesday, June 1st, KISS played in Oberhausen. It was my 3rd KISS show from this tour. Here are a few photos I took at the concert.

The show was great and Beth was a big surprise!

Three down, one (or two) to go!

See you in The Netherlands!

All-New Story-Based Quest Mode Voiced By KISS' Gene Simmons

This fall, living room legends and their friends will join together and embark on an epic rock journey to save rock n' roll with Activision Publishing, Inc.'s Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. The latest installment in the world's most popular music game series, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, will once again redefine music gaming with an all-new, story-driven Quest Mode, a completely redesigned rock-inspired guitar controller, the biggest on-disc selection of rock music ever in a Guitar Hero game and Quickplay+, which invites challenge-starved fanatics to test their rock skills in any of the on-disc or over 500 songs in the Guitar Hero Music Library.

In Quest Mode, using any combination of instruments, players will embark on a larger-than-life, epic rock journey from the stage of CBGBs, the infamous punk-rock club in New York City, to the molten lava fields of rock treachery as eight Guitar Hero characters transform into rock warriors that must join together to use their unique, game-changing powers to help the Demi-God of Rock take down "The Beast" and save rock n' roll.

"The world is a boring place. Come with me, and enter a world populated of Demi-Gods and Beasts. Transform from an everyday person and become the savior of rock and roll," said Gene Simmons of KISS. "It was an honor and privilege to narrate Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, even more so, to voice the Demi God. From the God of Thunder to the Demi-God, how cool is that..."

Delivering the largest on-disc rock music set list to-date, Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock features more than 90 tracks including KISS' "Love Gun."

Sonic Boom Tour Report
Review by - Daniel Hill

My story starts back in November 2009. Just one month on since blowing every penny I had on my New York KISS Trip, the unthinkable happened. KISS announced 9 dates in the UK/Ireland. Instantly, I made up my mind that I was going to tour all 9 shows, but had no idea how I was going to raise the money. Anyway, with a little bit of hard graft, I managed to purchase all of the tickets and arranged to have the time off work, all by the end of January. Now it was 'research' time.

Anybody that knows me could tell you that there was no way I was 'just' going to do 9 shows. I had to make this my KISS TRIP. Out came the KISS photo album and concertography. After a couple of weeks, I had put together a full UK map of past concert venues, recording studios, photo locations and a couple more cool places in KISSTORY. Some people can't see the point in visiting these places but what the hell, I'm only 25 and didn't get the chance to go to some of these places first time around, so while I'm in the area - Why Not! Also - it may bring back some good memories for some of you readers who have been following KISS since the 70's/80's.

Bill O'Reilly just called KISS Patriots for donating $1 per ticket to the Wounded Warrior Project! Great job guys! I know you all have done other charitable work with Veteran's Groups and this 47-year old US Army Veteran (20 years) and KISS Army Soldier (35 Years and still counting) appreciates it!
