Send A Letter To KISS

Hello, I just wanted to THANK you guys personally for making a somewhat boring life alot less boring for me! Really - I thank you. I come from a relatively small town where nothing rock really went on. But through TV, Records, magazines I found you guys back in the 70s and it's been loads of fun (whenever I need it) ever since. Just was watching the 2000 NJ show online digging the good audio..Let me go rock n roll...what a great good time tune...100,000 years..classic!! I know every single note of 'em. I remember going to the show here in Ft.Myers Fl. around that time..Gene shooting me the rock n roll sign and catching Ace's pick! OMG. Looking at it in my hand now..what a gift.Then it hit me again. At 43 years old I was sitting back tonight thinking you guys rocked when I was too young to rock or even knew what it was - and are still rocking..amazing and how is that possible! SO many years later. Just wow. Dedication..so cool. You've made so many people happy. Back in 1976 at 8 years old my friend brought over the KISS Alive double record and it's never been the same since..I took up guitar a short while later at the ripe old age of 10 started playing some power chords - inspired! Of course I never knew about Eb tuning, that made it extra hard as a beginner ! lol I still play what tunes I can ..each time I crank one up it takes me right back to 8 and then just further to a happy rock n roll place that would have never happened with out you. \m/ KISS is why I played guitar for 33 years now! And it's been such a cool ride. I like many many bands but..Classic KISS is still my fav...it's what rock is all about. Circus, Hit Parader, 16 magazine (only for kiss) I got em all and each new issue ,,,door covered with KISS photos, I prayed 20/20 would end so I could watch KISS meets the phantom! course I had the 76 tour classic poster and the 4 love gun era ones as well. etc etc etc. PS Re-issue the 1975 "Giant" alive poster!! Was thee poster to have yah know. Mine got water damaged...whew I miss it. I was thinking,,why did I do all that starting at 8? I realized even way back then... You were regular guys with a huge dream and made yourself bigger than life chasing and doing it, and you did it excellent...didn't care what the naysayers said. GOOD. You made the impossible ..possible! Even at 8 I was like wow..chek out these dudes! What an inspriration...and the creativity was mind boggling...still is. All of the everything you've done. The nuances as well as the huge things. You did it well..and just kept on keeping on..all for Rock n Roll. I know you were rich eons ago and THANKS for not stopping there!! SO many would have. It was boring again here ,,tonight. Everyone's sleeping, the occasional sound of a truck going by.. too quiet as usual. But now thanks to the internet once again I've Rock n Roll'd all night...might be too tired to party all day though. Haha Guys, I sincerely hope after all the good and bad.. that you had as much fun doing it as I had watching it. Anytime I need to go back to funner times I only have to remember back,,it's all there and still as fresh as ever. Or open the middle of Alive II and look at the pic lol..Craziness. Anyways sorry to go on and on but Thank you... I can't imagine what would have happened if my pal never stopped by with that record. Life is nothing without creativity and good times. I had to say that I appreciate it...personally. You guys ROCK.

HAVE FUN!

Unfortunatley my dear father in law passed away after a fight with debilatating cancer. His memory will live on forever in my family's hearts. I have found listening to KISS music (a band that has been with me for 33 of my almost 38 years) a comfort in this most difficult time. That's what this band is all about to me. A literal soundtrack to my life. Thank you KISS, and may you rest in peace Stavros. Paul Xynos Melbourne

To all the KISS fans out there....Here's a KISS Key that is available at Wal-Mart. It's only available in one style, but has Gene on one side and KISS on the opposite side. I happened to find it in the automotive dept. where they copy keys.

"I´ve been a fan of KISS since 1983 and it´s been 29 years I´ve listened to the band every day. It´s only fair that I should put on my skin the name of the band that´s grown along with me"!! Rogério Leite - São Paulo, SP BRASIL!!

My wife and I drove over 300 miles from Jacksonville Florida to try on the boots in Marietta Georgia. Thanks Monster Mini Golf !!

Hi Guys, I am so happy for the "Sophie's Place" and the children who will be saved from abusers.I only hope that they will look in to the future of these children. The outcome and after affects of abuse. I am a survivor of sexual, emotional and physical abuse. I went through my life ( I am now 50 )not knowing anything about it. I started to come undone about 3yrs ago. It has been hard to accept that I ended up with Dissociative Identity Disorder. My brain had been injured due to the abuse. All the horrible pain and memories stayed locked in my mind. It does not matter that it was over 40 years ago. I have to tell my terrified young parts that it is not happening now even as I relive their pain. If I had a wish it would be no child would ever hurt again. For now, I wish people and professionals to understand the long term damage that can result, and why children won't tell on their abuser. Regards, Patricia Vaughan P.S. I am big fan since the 70's music helped my mind. I love your show, and your entire family! P.S.S. I do have a fantastic psychotherapist helping to integrate

I was looking through my collection, and I found this very rare, and very cool Kiss interview with Billy Crystal from 1979. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u94QMsviWYE

Hi Kiss, I played "Paul" at Kiss convention in Detroit a few years back, and Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer were there with John Corabi(from Motley Crue). They came up on stage and played some Kiss tunes as well as some other rock standards. They were incredibly cool and willing to play off the cuff. Below are links to the videos: Kiss rules as always!

Hi KISS ARMY,,Got us a new recruite on the weekend . I was told by Jordan's mother that he was having his 6th birthday party & he wanted a KISS party.His mom Lauren asked me if i would like to come & wear my costume.I so do not want to ever miss a chance to break out the SON OF SIMMONS costume, so i jumped at the chance. I think i blew Jordan's mind when i walked in.His whole family were very excited to see Jordan having a great time at his KISS party.So please help me welcome a new member to the KISS ARMY.

Hi Gene, Paul, Tommy and Eric, I am very excited and anxious to get my hands on the new album (CD). Can you give everyone a date when it will be released in stores to purchase? I also would like to know how soon you will release this summer’s tour events. I have not missed a summer for the past 6 years and don’t plan on missing this one. Thank you and keep rocking! Scot

Hey this is Jack one of your many fans in the UK, first I would like to wish a late happy birthday to Paul Stanley but also I would like to say a huge thanks. You see I'm only 15 so not born into a time of KISS as it started but I am a huge fan. I thought I'd never be able to see a concert so if you could visit Manchester or Newcastle in the UK on your monster tour I'd be hugely thankfull From Jack KEEP KISS'N!
