Say what you will about KISS, but even after all these years, the face-painted foursome is still provocative.

This year, the band launched a first-ever fan-routed tour (which drew both praise and complaints) and released "Sonic Boom," its first album in 11 years (which entered the pop charts at No. 2, a career high for KISS).

If you ask Paul Stanley, KISS' co-leader, the band is KISS at its best- with co-leader Gene Simmons at his side, as well as recent additions Tommy Thayer (guitar) and Eric Singer (drums).

We talked to Stanley about the fan-routed tour, its new album and why critics and multi-generations seem to love KISS these days.

Here are some photos of Eric and Gene on the set of SportCenter. The guys appeared on the show just before their Staples Center concert on Wednesday.

Hi KISS!!

I was recently married to a wonderful man! I wanted to share a Kiss influenced part of our wedding! In our search for a "Cool" wedding cake topper, we couldn't find anything that really represented us... So I suggested a Kiss cake topper. My husband found appropriate figurines and painted the faces himself.

Thank you for all the years of great Rock and Roll,

Meegan Gerard Wherry

Hi KISS!

I took my 7 year old daughter Olivia to her first concert, KISS at the Key Arena in Seattle. It was almost 30 years to the day that I sat in the same section to see KISS in 1979. To be able to see the band again, but this time through the eyes of my little girl was truly something special. It is a memory that she and I will share for ever.

Thank you! Paul

Here's a fan-filmed video of a pair of KISS fans getting married in Calgary. They wed in front of Gene's Axe Bass bus outside the Saddledome before the show, and their witnesses all wore KISS makeup!

Here's KISS with their custom Sacramento Kings jerseys that were presented to them backstage at the Arco Arena last night.
