Classic glam-metal act enjoys a trans-generational following

During its ’70s heyday, Kiss was introduced as “The Hottest Band in the World.’’

Decades later, the band believes it still lives up to that title.

“We’re a hot act,” drummer Eric Singer said. “You can come out and see that we’re still very hot. No band brings it like Kiss.”

The veteran band, led by vocalist-guitarist Paul Stanley and vocalist-bassist Gene Simmons, keeps filling big arenas and sheds around the country. The legendary “Kiss Army’’ of fans continues to support it and the contingent is expanding.

“We’re seeing a lot of younger fans come out to our shows,” Singer said. “So we have the older and definitely the younger, who are so enthusiastic.”

Longtime Kiss fans have introduced their kids to such anthemic staples as “Detroit Rock City’’ and “Deuce.’’ The group has little choice but to play the array of old chestnuts.

“We have played those songs countless times but they never get old to us,” Singer said. “We love to play ‘Black Diamond,’ ‘I Was Made For Loving You’ and ‘Love Gun.’ How can you not play the songs that made this band legendary? It’s a privilege to play Kiss classics. We love it.”

Hello KISS Army!

Check out my just-completed KISS tattoo. Had the fire and autographs added last week. It looks great now. I have 10 hours into this tattoo. There is also a photo from the meet and greet with the guys all pointing at my tattoo...that was very cool!

Peace,

On August 25th (Gene's birthday) me and my girlfriend of 14 years got married. Since I'm a big KISS fan, we put a KISS touch to the wedding, the invitation cards had the guy in the obvious KISS shirt and the wedding cake, well is KISS all the way.

I never thought I would get married, but it's feels great and it was a great day.
