Send A Letter To KISS

What can I say about Kissology Volume 2... WOW!!! I thought Volume 1 was something... Volume 2 soared big time.... There wasn\'t a thing in this set that wasn\'t special...it\'s all worth seeing. I have to say, I love the concerts and seeing how KISS has evolved over the years... I wish there were more COMPLETE concerts from the eras... I would\'ve loved to have seen concerts from Animalize (with Mark St. John) and Asylum... and a complete concert from Crazy Nights BUT the \"Hot in the Shade\" show was unbelievable... it was a great great show... brought back lots of memories of the show here in Memphis for me. The Rio show was phenominal (not sure if it was a full show or not) and I wish there was more footage of KISS during the Lick it Up Period. The KISS: Attack of the Phantoms Movie... it was cool but after so many viewings of \"Meets the Phantom of the Park\", this version seemed a little out of place. Things didn\'t seem to flow well. While there were some additional scenes, there were others cut out (like the punks messing with the ride control room) The added scenes were great but the movie seemed to pace differently and didn\'t make sense with some of the other stuff taken out... and the addition of music... don\'t get me wrong.. I love KISS music but it seemed again to be out of place and often replaced key sound effects during the movie (Like when Abner finds out he\'s let go and he\'s walking off, you don\'t hear the stage crew setting audio levels with the eerie guitar sound as Abner\'s walking away....it\'s replaced with a KISS solo song that takes away from the ingenius sneer Abner gets) Basically, I\'m glad this version was included (for the added scenes) but I wish they could cut a new version.... leaving the US version intact but adding in the new scenes as well. The Day in Rock MTV segment where they announced Eric Carr\'s passing. I was watching MTV that day (back when MTV was still worth watching) and I saw that announcement when it aired... it floored me. I was a huge Eric Carr fan and I had heard he was doing better. Then from outta left field it seemed he took a turn for the worse... I didn\'t know till I saw this segment air. I was crushed. It hit me like it was part of my own family. But in a way, KISS and the KISS Army ARE family... nevertheless, it was a sad, sad day for me. I can only imagine what it was like for the band and his family and friends. I\'m also a little disappointed that it\'s listed as having the \"God Gave Rock & Roll to You II\" Music Video... that\'s not entirely true... it has most of the video then (as it did on KISS Xtreme Close-Up) cuts to credits after the melodic break in the song... that\'s NOT a complete video.... However, the best thing on this dvd for me (aside from the Hot in the Shade Concert) was the suprise you get after the credits (which I will not disclose for those that haven\'t bought the dvd yet.) HOWEVER, I\'m telling you.... for all the Eric Carr fans out there... get this dvd set... and pay attention to the whole 3rd DVD (after the credits) roll... there\'s something very special there. I was a huge Eric Carr fan... it was an emotional surprise for me. One that made this 34 year old man cry. I miss Eric and only wish I was able to meet him in person. Maybe one day in the afterlife I\'ll get my chance. One final note... to the guys in KISS (especially Gene and Paul)... thank you for that extra added surprise. You know better than anybody what a jokester Eric was... and you ended the set wonderfully with that fitting surprise. While it was funny and shows Eric as never losing his humor, it was a bitter sweet end for the set. Thank you guys (Gene, Paul, Eric S., Tommy) and the rest of \"The Family\" for giving us fans YEARS of entertainment. I applaud you all...and I think Eric Carr is proud as well. My best to all of you... and Paul...get better, buddy. I\'ve been a fan since I was 6... and I need you guys around for many years to come... Cheers fellas!!! Your friend and fan, Steven Yarbrough (Memphis, TN)

It is simply as this. You guys ROCK!!! There is no other band that compares to you. NONE. There are no other bands that have fans who are as loyal as yours. We do and will continue to love you to our last breath and even after. I know without a doubt that each member of the KISS ARMY would agree. I, for one, can say that it is because of you, especially Paul and Gene, absolutely the soul and mind of Kiss, that I have been able to make it through some pretty rough times in my life. You both have got to know how much you mean to all of us....I read the letters and it is nothing but devotion and love for you. Forever KISS! Patty in OH

Hi guys, Just got done watching all of Kissology Vol. 2 and was absolutely floored by Eric\'s home video he made after his heart surgery that ran after the credits. I couldn\'t believe what I was watching - there he was addressing all the fans, showing us what he\'d been through and cracking his jokes along the way. He didn\'t let it get him down. Thank you so much for including this in the set! How did you get it? After hearing Paul\'s commentary about how difficult things got with Eric and his family at the end I am beyond amazed you were able to share this video with everyone. Thank you again - a great tribute to Eric. And also a nice touch with the tribute to Mark St. John. I believe that was the first video I\'ve ever seen of him speaking on-camera. Great, great stuff.

Since Kiss played \"All American Man\" in concert for the shows of 2007, I was thinking of some others that would be cool to hear live someday if possible. These are my personal favorite \"deep cut\" songs, but I\'m sure every diehard Kiss fan has several of their own. At the top of the list would be \"Mr.Speed\". I\'ve always liked this song better than \"Calling Dr.Love\" from RNRO, although that song does kick ass live!...Here are the others. \"Strange Ways\", \"Magic Touch\", \"While The City Sleeps\", \"Secretly Cruel\", \"Hell or High Water\", \"Good Girl Gone Bad\", \"Love\'s A Slap In The Face\", \"Silver Spoon\", and \"Heart Of Chrome\". Keep Rockin\'!!! Johnny Crowe

To all past and present members of KISS. I have loved this band since 1975. I\'ve got every album possible on CD and vinyl records. The music is just as fresh as from the very first song I heard when I was 4 years old. I\'ll follow,support and love you guys to the end of life. I\'ve never been to a concert and hopefully you guys can get back to Lexington, Ky and play a concert at Rupp Arena. I promise to be there and watch the greatest in band world blow Lexington, Ky. My youngest son loves the band and the music as much as I do. He draws the make up designs and put them on his bedroom wall and in his locker at school. You guys have been a huge inspiration in my life. I wish the members of KISS the best in the years to come and keep rockin\' and selling out shows. I referee high school football and I listen to your music on my way to the stadium and even getting dressed to take the field. Your music is invaluable. I love you guys forever. GOD bless you. In my pic, I\'m on the right. On the left is former Univ. Of Minnesota Men\'s Basketball Coach Clem Haskins whom I met at a basketball camp I coached at this summer.

Hey guys, my four year-old daughter and I love listening to KISS, especially anything off Love Gun or Destroyer. I guess I was sort of a \"minor\" KISS fan growing up, but preferred other 70s rock bands like Zep and Floyd instead. But when my daughter was around two years old, she heard \"Strutter\" on a mix CD I made and absolutely loved it. She has been hooked ever since. So my question is...have you (Paul and Gene) ever considered licensing your songs for one of those \"Rock and Roll Baby\"-type CDs that re-records rock music as electronic lullabies? We have a Radiohead disc like that. The reason why I ask is because my daughter has been asking me to \"sing Strutter like a lullaby\" at bedtime. As I\'m sure you know, it\'s a great melody that works very nicely as a ballad. I\'d love an entire acoustic CD of your songs for kids - and I know my daughter would love it as well. Thanks!

Gene and Paul, Terrific job on Kissology 2! Highlights for me... - The wide screen transfer of \'Attack of the Phantom\' was very well done. I could\'ve believe how crisp it looked. The replacement of the cheesy Hanna-Barbera soundtrack with solo album material during fight scenes was a little weird, but still lots of fun! - The Tom Snyder interview never gets old! - The \"Friday\'s\" performance brought back a lot of memories! - The video of Eric Carr from his hospital bed after the credits was a great tribute! Awesome job guys. Thanks for giving the fans what they want! Ken Hibben Plainfield, IL

I had the pleasure of assiting the Simmons-Abramsons marketing group while at Kentucky Speedway for the IRL race. I\'m one of the infiled security supervisors for the Speedway & spent the day with Gene, Rich & Lucky while they did their daily routine. I met Gene & crew last year also, but this year was something else. It\'s always a thrill to meet your childhood idol, but to spend the entire day with them, was really cool. My son and I got some pictures prior to the madness. (attached) A great day to say the least. I AM INDY!!!!!

Hi!! I\'m Miguel from Argentina, and I wanted to say that this is a great collection, at least we\'re having a little bit of all the footege you guys have!!! Mint condition!!! I bet this is just the begining, and more boxes like this are coming in the future. One thing I must say is missing is this package is not with subtitles and/or region free. Because you only release this in the USA, but people from all over the world buy this DVDs, not just the people in the States. Like Jimmy Page did with the Led Zeppelin DVD a few years ago, I think you should do the same (region free and subtitles). Still a great collection, but somethings are missing for people outside the States. Thanks so much for read this, all the best and one more thing.... COME BACK TO ARGENTINA SOME TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love ya... Miguel.

Loved the 2nd KISSOLOGY , Eric Carr was the reason i started playing drums . You guys rule , keep doing what you\'re doing . Can\'t wait to see what\'s next .

Of course, like the rest of the KISS Army, I ran out to get KISSOLOGY Volume II Yesterday. Knowing most of what was going to be on it, I was still taken aback by the sheer amount of content in this collection! Like Volume I, KISSOLOGY Vol. II is a true KISS fans dream turned to reality, and an obvious labor of love from Mr. Stanley and Mr. Simmons to the people who have supported them throughout the years (not that it was that difficult to support the greatest rock n\' roll band of all time!). ALL (well, almost all- more live Lick It Up footage would have been nice- but I\'m not complaining- just being greedy!)of the classic footage that fans have craved, serched for, and bought on inferior quality bootlegs has been assembled in incomparable fashion for YOUR viewing pleasure! My personal favorite being the H.I.T.S. tour show. Not only is it a complete concert with a great set list and stage show, but the band sounds fantastic! I was fortunate enough to see that tour in Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Viewing it here further confirmed to me that with or without make-up, be it 1970\'s, 80\'s or 90\'s...Kiss were always the masters of their craft. NO band could touch them when they hit the concert stage.(Could you have imagined a Worldwide Live tour with Eric Carr on Drums? Wow! We miss you Eric!) If you have any interest whatsoever in KISS or simply great Rock and Roll performances (and I assume you do or you wouldn\'t be reading this), GO OUT AND GET KISSOLOGY VOLUME II NOW! Just like Vol. I, this collection is INDISPENSIBLE and will bring you HOURS and HOURS of ass-kicking entertainment that you will enjoy viewing OVER and OVER again! The price is ridiculously cheap, even without the bonus disc (I selected the LARGO 79 show- a huge improvement over my videotaped copy) and would be a value at nearly twice the price(...but don\'t tell Gene that!)Thank You Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons for yet another gift to your fans!! We wanted the best ...WE GOT IT!!!

I just want to thank KISS and especially Paul for the way he handled the commentary regarding Eric and his death. The openness and sincerity shown in Paul\'s comments is amazing and it means allot to fans who never knew what happened. It is quite moving. The clip of Eric at the end is precious to every fan who loved Eric and we thank you for including it. I assume thanks must go to the Caravello family for providing that. Through my tears as I watched him, Eric made me laugh once again. With that said, I really love the non makeup concert footage. Paul\'s voice especally just absolutely shines and the whole band is so precise. Hope to see more footage from 1985-1990 in the future. Thanks for putting such a wonderful gift together for your fans! Mark in North Carolina

This was what I was waiting for. More perspective on the band, once Peter and Ace left it. And I got it. Never will you see a drummer like Eric Carr work the drums like he did in that era. The band still managed to function extremely well without the makeup and continued to push the limits when it came to touring and entertaining their fans. I would have liked to see more Animalize and Asylum stuff but that is OK. What a great tribute to Eric Carr and I cannot wait for the Vol 3.

This is for Paul and Gene. This volume of KISSOLOGY is TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!! From the moment that I inserted the first disc in, I was just totally captivated. I have always been a huge KISS fan and just let me say that that the 1990 \"Palace\" show is simply amazing. As for the rest of the content of the DVD\'s, the concert footage is great, the interviews, the \"Fridays\" segment with songs from \"The Elder\", the bonus discs (all 3 are superb collector\'s items), you name it. This is what every KISS fan looks forward to. The first one literally blew me away, this one just keeps me wanting more , and I cannot wait for KISSOLOGY 3!!!!!!!! KISS will always be the best!!!!! Get well soon, Paul. I know what you are going through with because I have the same thing with my heart and I have been dealing with it and on meds for it since 1995. It\'s a scary thing when it happens to you, that\'s for sure. Take care and GOD bless! Much Love, Lee Miller

Hi to everyone in the kiss army and to the people at kissonline. First i want to say that the band is and has been my all time favorite band and everytime i see and listen to them its a thrill. So as im sure most kiss fans like myself went out to stores all across the US and other countries and bought Kissology vol.2 which is needless to say great like the 1st vol. Seeing and hearing them through out the different era\'s was a great treat to any kiss fan. The different performances and shows was a great way to show kiss is timeless and will never die.Some parts i was kind of dissapointed like how they cut out rise to it from the detroit show and how they cut out the cursing that paul did but other then that the DVD\'s were amazing and awesome and i cannot wait for the third installment everyone keep rockin and i hope to see kiss touring soon. sincerly one of the biggest kiss fans Mike Mcgrath of Philly
