Send A Letter To KISS

Hey KISS! Firstly, I would like to say a massive thanks for coming to Melbourne. Seeing you guys perform was a big thing for me last night. From seeing you on covers of vinyls and DVDs nothing compared to the epic live show. Luckily, we (my mum and brother) got the tickets to the destroyer zone early, that topped the expericne. middle front and centre! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw all of you lowered down playing one of my favourites "Detroit Rock City" It made the wait worth while. And concluding it with the encore of "Lick It Up" was a great conclusion. When the concert finished... I still wanted to hear some more tunes being rocked out (especially "Who wants to be lonely"). Even considering driving back home with two hours of sleep to compete in a swim carnival the next day. Being fourteen, unfortunately I wasnt around to experience the "KISSmania" in 1980 when you guys came to the land of Aus for the first time. From the concert footage on KISSology DVD, I could sense how awesome it would have been to experience the mystery of not knowing who these four guys looked like without make-up. I first heard of KISS in 2003 when my mum put on the "Rock and Roll Over" vinyl on record and played it. I just remember hearing the opening of "I want you" and just being blown back thinking "wow, this is just amazing!". And "rock and roll over" is still my favourite album to this day... In a tie with love gun, Asylum, KISS, Dressed To Kill and Animalize. I don't know honestly, what I'd be doing right now if I hadn't discovered KISS. I suppose, I wouldn't be learning bass and guitar (recently bought a Washburn PS1800!) and collecting your vinyls, action figures and listening to your songs on shuffle 24/7. I just want to say a huge thank you! For being there for me to listen to and role models to look up to (my dream career is to become a lead guitarist in a successful band) and hopefully will be able to see you all live again and listen to some more new material! --Questions 1. At what point did you think KISS had become a really successful band? 2. @ Paul: What is your favourite song and album? 3. @Tommy: where would you think Black and Blue would be if you were with them now? 4. @Gene: Favourite place to tour? 5.@ Eric: Who are your main inspirations? 6. Your least favourite album and why? 7. Do you think Vinnie Vincent had an impact on the band with the movement of music? 8. Tips to get into a successful band? Another big Thank You KISS! Sam. :)

Last night I was at the Helloween's concert (with Gamma Ray as special guest) in Milan (Italy) and Helloween's singer, Andi Deris, has performed all the show with the Gene's shirt. Kiss Italy invasion has begun... stay metal!

Hi Guys, What a fantastic Adelaide show. It was a real pleasure having one of the biggest bands in the world grace our small City. Keep on rocking with your show, which is without doubt the best i have ever seen, your drive and obvious passion for what you do. It was a real pleasure to watch you perform. Thankyou.

What an Amazing Experience! Tuesday March 5th 2013 Melbourne Etihad Stadium. Lucky enough to buy the Meet and Greet Package. What an Experience - a Special Unplugged set of songs requested by a small group of us, Autograph session and a quick Chat with the members of Kiss. Later the Photo Session in Full Makeup and Costume. In this Photo I am Holding my first Kiss Concert Ticket when they first Toured back in 1980, I was 12 years old. I must have seen Kiss more than 12 times, each memorable, But not as Memorable as this Meet and Greet Experience, Not forgetting the Amazing Concert Performance that followed WOW! Thanks Kiss for making this a True Experience!

Hi Guys I finally got to see you in concert in melbourne last night...OMG it took me 35 years to get to a concert but last night made up for it! You truly are the Kings of the rock world! I have loved your music since seeing your Rock n Roll All Night clip on Countdown decades ago. Thank you for a memorable night! Cheers Sandy

Finally after 33 years I had the chance to see KISS in concert at their 40th anniversary and first Australian concert in Perth. What a night a dream come true for me, I took my wife and 14 year old son who is also a big fan and my brother – this was their Xmas present from me. Every time Kiss has toured Australia I have been away at work and was not able to attend, this time was going to be different and I had to fly in from overseas to attend the best concert I have ever been to. The show lived up to every expectation that I had. Thanks KISS for making my childhood dreams a reality. Peter

Thanks guys for such an amazing and rockin night. I am so excited to have been there at the melbourne show tuesday night and had the best view from front and centre. You just blew me away with your performance. Huge KISSES xxx From Theresa

I have love KISS since I was 11 years old, I've seen you everytime you've come to Adelaide and want to thank-you for not missing us out. The Clipsal show on sunday night was awesome, made all the better because I was able to share it with my 4 kids who range in age from 10 - 21 (my husband has been with me to all the concerts) they LOVED it!!! to be able to share with them why I love you guys sooo much is something I can't thank- you enough for. An added bonus for me was you playing Crazy Crazy Nights one of mine and my 10 year old daughters favourites, she kept telling me prior you would play it and now takes great delight in the fact you did thus making her right. I hope you come back again, We will continue to come see you as long as you come here. My only wish now is to actually meet you and I vow and declare one day I WILL!!! eternally your fan, Cathy

Saw this and thought id share with you

Hello KISS, I wanted to share a picture of my baby girl who is already a fan! I hope one day we can both attend a KISS concert in Mexico. Keep rockin guys!

Here is a picture of Gene-Know in Bagram Afghanistan

This is my big brother. He was hit by a car at 17 and has been a quadraplegic ever since. He has a very positive attitude and is generous and giving to all he encounters. I was lucky enough, thanks to friends who paid for my ticket, to see you live at the Clipsal 500 and it was an awesome show, but I would have given anything to not be there so that my brother could. I know it would have meant the world to him. Sadly he has been sick and in bed now for some time due to pressure sores and a chest infection so would not have probably been able to get there even if it was in my power to arrange it. If you are ever in Adelaide again - or are in fact still here - my dream would be that you visit him because that would blow his mind and bring him so much joy which he well and truly deserves because he does so much for others. I would willing ly give you his address if you could do this. It would mean so very much to me.Thank you. The little sister, Antonia xox
