Send A Letter To KISS

Dear KISS, You guys are the best band in the world. It is hard to put into words how phenomenal the Soboba performance was. To stick it out without the Starchild and play as a trio took balls, and you delivered without fail. My respect for Gene has definitely risen. He proved to be not only an amazing frontman but a genuine person who cares about Paul and the fans. I almost died when he spewed blood and played God of Thunder. Eric Singer, also, surprised me. That drum solo kicked a**. Tommy kept the Ace legacy going with the exact guitar solos from Alive!, and I don\'t think a KISS fan would want it any other way. I almost cried when we all learned about Paul\'s heart problems--the fact that he was thinking solely about the audience when his heart was close to stopping is unbelievable. You guys ROCKED. I am 15 years old and thought I would never be able to see my favorite band live. Thanks so much Love, Emily

Paul, you were truely missed, the other evening. We still had a wonderful time. Gene, and the guys did an incredible job entertaining and holding it all together during a time I am sure they were conflicted with feelings themselves. I had never been to a Kiss concert before even though you are my favorite group. It never worked out for me. I do hope to see all of you together one day. Your health is more important, so please do as the doctors say take care of yourself and to be there for your family. God Bless you all.

I must say to star off this was my 79th KISS show and as most would say most interesting. When I got the the news about what was going on I was in shock and the main concern to me was The Starchild\'s health. I heard threw the grapevine that Paul had left but the show was going to go on. So as a diehard Paul fan I was very curious to was was going to transpire next. Doc came out to make his announcement then Gene followed... When they started playing Duece I was like what the hell is going on??? KISS as a trio this is so weired but the energy from that stage was unbelievable!!! No words can say what all of the guys were thinking especially Gene! The first thing I was thinking who is gonna talk to the crowd??? I figured it would be Gene but didn\'t think it would be as personal as he made it! People bash Gene and KISS for this and that and whatever at least they are honest about what they do and stand for! The amount of respect I gained for all of the boys that night was unreal especially Gene because He had to sing most of the show which in his whole lifetime of KISS has never had to do and he couldn\'t have done it better!! Way to go Gene and the boys I\'m sure The Starchild is proud!!!

I\'ve just knew about Paul, about the show without him, and the speech of Gene. As a (little) french musician and a fan of Kiss since my 4 year old, i very touching about the courage of every members from Kiss, show must go on, and you : Gene,Eric and Tommy perform with your hearts & souls. I\'m very proud to be a fan from this Knights of Rock\'n\'Roll, and i waiting for watching you all again, united in Rock\'n\'Roll. To Paul : Take care of you, and be sure we are an army out there who send to you : our best wishes and love you. Regards, and merci.

Paul: I know you probably don\'t remember meeting me, as you meet so many people in your travels. We met when I was 14 at the group\'s concert in West Palm Beach in 1977. I was introduced to you by my uncle, Robert Knoll and I was 14. It was my very first rock concert and I was hooked and have been a KISS fan ever since. I was shocked to hear about your health scare and send my love and hopes for a speedy recovery. My father suffered two heart attacks while I was in my 20\'s, so I know how scary this can be. Know that you are in my thoughts and that I am keeping the rest of the band in my heart and thoughts as well. Stay strong guys and ROCK ON! As always, the KISS ARMY RULES! All my love, Coral Hull-Schober

First let me say I do hope Paul is alright and is in the proper medical care. I hope your recovery is speedy. Second, I think it is time for the Kiss Army to gather to say \"Thanks\" to everyone who made Kiss, Kiss. An all huge convention with former members, producers, writers, the road crews too. Its time. I propose Indianapolis in June 08\' We need some volunteers for this and please note that you would need to be serious about this and be prepared to submit a \'kiss resume\' that would be vetted. Of course vendors and tribute bands would be central to this, but only trib bands with greater than 5 years experience would be considered for a competition and tribute to the band. If interested email cameronace@sympatico.ca. Its time the Army paid its tribute. To paul God speed.

Dear KISS, I became a bassist because of Gene Simmons and KISS way back when, in 1977... In 1978 I was kicked out of high school marching band for skipping an event to go see KISS live. It was my first rock concert. I\'ll never forget it. It was worth it!!! So, nearly thrity years later, I was fortunate enough to be performing at Rock Fest in Cadott, WI with my cover band. We even learned \"Rock and Roll All Night\" as a tribute to KISS. I was excited to see KISS again, after so many years, and what made the night even more special was being able to bring my 16 year-old daughter to see KISS live. Ironically, it would also be her first concert ever. She was so excited. What an amazing night. She screamed like a true concert goer, sang along with more songs than I thought she knew, and went nuts everytime the pyrotechnics went off. She proudly wore her KISS T-shirt, and told me later it was the \"best night of her life\". Such an awesome experience for a father and daughter, and a terrific experience for me to see my \"bass inspiration\". Without that influnce of Gene Simmons, I would have never become a musician. Thank you KISS for putting on a great show, and for being the first concert for both a father and daughter. Long live KISS!!! Sincerely, Dave Schoenrock

Gene, All i can really say is AMAZING!! Absolutely STUNNING!!!! I was in awe at the KISSTORY being seen by so many yet SO FEW of your FANS!!! Your T.V. Show ROCKS, your KIDS ROCK!!!! I speak for Veterans of the United States of America, YOU ROCK!!!!! God Bless Paul, I wanna copy of KISS MEETS THE PHANTOM!!!! PLEASE!! LOVE YOU KISS Scotti Palm Desert, California

Dear Paul, I have been a fan of Kiss forever and was very upset when I heard about your heart problem. I met you in Maui at the Celebrity Art Gallery I believe it was around Christmas of 2005. I just want you to know that I suffered for a couple of years from the same problem. You don\'t know if you are going to die. It is a terrible feeling. My life came to a complete halt. Today I am a new person. Back to my old self. I had what is called a Cardiac Ablation. I actually had it perform twice. I used a doctor that was highly recommended in West Palm Beach, Florida. This doctor is the best Electrophysiologist around. His name is Dr. Fischel, 5503 S. Congress #206, Boyton Beach, FL. 33462, phone 1-888-882-2463. Trust me I know what you are going thru and my heart goes out to you. But rest assured there is a cure. You will be in my prays for a quick and speedy solution to your heart problems. If I can be of any help please call me at 239-821-8804. Be assured this is not terminal if treated properly. Don\'t let it go on for a long time. Best Wishes, Joy Chanzes----- joychanzes@hotmail.com

Paul,get well.We Love you!

This is the photo that was to be attached to my e-mail...guess it was too big. Hope you got the letter.

Dear KISS, First of all I want to send my best wishes to Paul...get well soon. I have been a KISS fan since day 1. There was always an excuse as to why I could never make a live show close to our home in western Canada..I never made it, and never thought I would. It was a dream come true the day my son told me he absolutely loved the rockband KISS, that was 10 years ago. What great times we have listening to the music, discussing the band and watching the dvd\'s...I told Travis (about 4 years ago), If KISS ever played a show anywhere in western Canada or USA, I would take him. What an amazing day when he went to his favorite website (KISSonline.com) and found announcement for a show in southern California...and it\'s an all ages show! We have to go! 10 am Monday morning the tickets go on sale, I\'m on the phone, he is on the web...WE HAD TO GET TICKETS. We got them 20 rows back right in front of Gene! Now the planning of the trip, the flights the hotels, the 3000 miles! It\'s all set, WERE GOING TO SEE KISS! Needless to say, we were at the show in Sabobo on Friday night. Travis and I in full face makeup, he as Gene and I was Paul. You can\'t imagine the concern and disapointment when Gene came out and told us of Pauls heart concerns. All this way and no show? Oh YA! There was a show! Gene, Tommy and Eric put on a show of a lifetime, It ROCKED. Best show of my life, I can only imagine what it would have been like with Paul playing and singing his songs. I just hope Travis and I have the chance to see another KISS show together. What a fabulous thing to share with my son...we will never forget it. Thanks guys. And Paul, get well soon...we look forward to seeing you, and the the rest of the band...soon? Sincerely, Mike Roberts Vernon BC Canada

to paul hoping that your feeling better Rock on regards Benno- Australia

Paul, My daughter and I went to the show in San Jacinto on 07/27 and were truly saddened to learn of your condition while we were waiting for the show to start. Your concern for the fans who came, even in your condition, just proves what everyone already knows- KISS is all about the fans- and the ARMY loves you guys for that! Gene, Eric, and Tommy did you proud last night- they put on an amazing show in your honor- nothing but the best for the best. Get well soon! Paul T.

Dear KISS, THANK YOU for going on last night in San Jacinto, it meant a lot to me as well as many others in the sold out crowd. I\'m sure you were all quite rattled by Paul\'s cardiac event. You showed true professionalism and dedication last night. I appreciate you for turning out a unique concert experience. I saw you back in Hartford CT. during your \'79-80 World Tour. I must say that was the greatest concert of all time, especially for a 17 yr old. I came out to see you last night for my 45th birthday just for the hell of it. We\'re all a little older, a little wiser and all more compassionate. Your health means everything. Thank you for being you, Kim
