Send A Letter To KISS

And finally the young man in question on the way to the Hamburg concert.

and a 3rd

As I mentioned another picture described in my earlier letter.

Dear Paul, Gene, Eric, Tommy (and of course Ace & Peter too), I know everybody says it, but my son Kevin, who is 9, is probably your biggest fan. We're Canadians who live in Dubai and we flew to Hamburg to see your June 4th show. I bought the tickets in February and Kev just bounced off the walls from then till the show! This isn't something new for him either. I'm enclosing his second grade project which is still on the wall of his room by way of proof. They had to do a presentation on anyone famous and he, of course, chose KISS. Also, done right on the wall of his room is his painting of Ace and the KISS logo done by my wife Paula. His room will probably change over the years but that part never will, I'm positive. He plays the drums and even though he likes Ace he'll argue with you night and day that Peter is the best drummer who ever lived. (Err no offence to anybody else, sorry). Ahh who am I kidding - he loves all you guys. There's another shot of him last Halloween, age 8, out in our front yard with my guitar and one of him in the taxi on the way to the Hamburg show. And finally, just so you can see how much he enjoyed himself a youtube link to him dancing during Love Gun. Paul, he says you pointed right at him during that song. In the video you can see him point back at you. I'd love to know if you actually did if you can remember. I could go on and on about how he's constantly looking up band facts on the computer, or about how his wardrobe is pretty much all KISS t-shirts, or how he's always asking me to get him KISS stuff, or how we're learning Detroit Rock City together... but I just wanted to say that I got to see you guys in Montreal in the summer of '77 and I was just so glad I could let my son share the same experience last week. Thanks for still being around and thanks for an unbelievable concert. It'll always be the best live show around! Here's the youtube link. Feel free to use it on the site. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K6_A7J9kpc . I may not be able to post all the pics in this one letter so I'll just send a few more in separte letters and you can use them as well if you want. jim, kevin & paula

Hi, folks! Here is an awesome clip Kiss performing Love Gun at Hartwall Areena, Helsinki 28th May! The show was incredible and the band, specially Paul was in good mood.

Hi, folks! Here is a great video Kiss performing Detroit Rock City at Hartwall Areena, Helsinki on 28th of May! It was their second gig here and the feeling was awesome!

Hi! I\'m Adam, I\'m from Hungary. I had a big dream: to see once the KISS. I was very sad, that the band didn\'t have Hungarian concert date, but I wanted to see a real KISS show, so i went to Prague. Just for the concert. I will never forget, it was one of the greatest concerts, what i\'ve ever seen. I had a printed Hungarian flag, because Gene\'s parents were Hungarian, and he speaks our language. I hope, he saw it. Mr. Stanley wanted to give me 2 picks on the concert but he couldn\'t. :( The next day I met Tommy, as you can see on the picture. He\'s a very kind man. I hope, next time they will come to my country. (sorry for my bad english) Ádám Molnár

Hi guys! Honestly, I never expected to be part of another KISS gig after the \'99 concert in Bremen. So finally you really made a dream come true! Also it was quite a nice experience, having goose bumps for 2+ hours. ;) I want to thank you for an awesome show that night. And an even bigger \"thank you\" for enhancing my life with your music for the last 28 years! Since wednesday I was listening to the concert three more times and still can\'t get rid of that carved smile in my face... But believe me, when I finally solved that \"problem\" (do I want to?), the time will come to start dreaming again. Keep on rockin\', folks!

I have always loved KISS. Always. That band has been part of my life as long as I can remember! When I was about three years old I wathced KISS videos with my sister and my cousins. I just couldn\'t believe my eyes. And that\'s when the KISS-fan inside me woke up. My dad is KISS fan and he had (And he still have) almost all KISS records. I listened these records with my sister. In fact I listened these records more than my dad. And Gene Simmons. He has always been my favorite. There is even a picture where I show my tongue and I play Gene and I really do have almost as long tongue as Gene has. Later years I bought my own KISS CD\'s and KISS books and started to collect all kind of KISS pictures to my walls. My dad has seen KISS alive two times, and my mother once. I haven\'t. Ever. And that felt so wrong. Why KISS just can\'t come Finland anymore? But now, when I\'m 14 years old. It finally happened. KISS started big Alive 35 tour and really! Finland was part of that big tour! I just couldn\'t believe it. My biggest dream, really coming true? And when the day finally came I was shocked. I just couldn\'t understand it. I remembered that 5 years old Ida who watched KISS live clips. In one clip, there was a boy, who was so happy that he cried. I said to my sister: \"Look at that boy. He\'s crying. If I some day see KISS alive, I think I\'m going to cry too.\" And that felt so unreal. Here I am. After all this waiting. At Hartwall arena. Waiting. I had Gene Simmons make up in my face. And then I finally heard these words: \"You wanted the best and you got the best. The hottest band in the world: KISS!\" And suddenly I saw Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer in front of me. I felt tears in my eyes. I couldn\'t say anything. I was so happy. And shocked! I felt that I\'m again that little girl. And that show was something so amazing I can\'t ever forget. That concert really changed everything! Thank you KISS! You really made my dream come true, and that\'s something what I can\'t ever forget! Always KISS-fan, Ida Berg 14, Finland
