KISSONLINE FAN LETTER

Dear Friends, KISS,

After 35 years of touring you finally made it to Greece! For me after 19 years of waiting i'll finally be able to show my friends what KISS is all about and why i was screamin' all these years supporting you and your Kisstory, our Kisstory!

Even though i became an airline pilot, a part of it has to do with KISS and so a KISS sticker is on my flight bag making many people wonder. Funny thing, after all this years waiting for you, there is a small possibility I can not make it, cause i'll have to fly !! But NO WAY, i don't wanna think about it, I

Last night at Brisbane KISS blew the roof off a full house. The KISS ARMY was out in force with many multi-generational families in attendance and they were no disappointed. KISS were ALIVE and on fire as they assaulted the crowd with their no holds barred rock and roll.

Tearing through a classic KISS set list, the crowd were on their feet the entire night. For nearly 2 hours the band and the KISS Army were as one. Gene was menacing on bass and his blooded soaked tongue wept the crowd into a frenzy. Paul was dancing all over the stage, making sure every fan felt as though he was there for them personally. Eric was pounding those drums like their was no tomorrow, and Tommy... with a near deafening roar of Tommy chants across the arena, lit up the crowd as he blazed his way through Shock Me with an awesome solo included. The band were in great spirits the whole night as smiles lit up their faces while they interacted with the KISS Army!

For the new generations of KISS fans, it was a night where they were truly captured by the magic of KISS and could experience first hand what their parents had told them about for so long. The seasoned veterans of the KISS ARMY could relive their past and look on with pride as their siblings experienced one of the best nights of their lives.

KISS ROCK BRISBANE!

By John O'Brien

WALLS of amps assaulted the ears and plumes of flames singed any eyebrows within 50m last night as 70s rock legends Kiss ramped up the volume and camped it up for Brisbane fans.

The Alive 35 World Tour is the band's second Down Under tour since the boys' so-called Farewell Tour hit Queensland seven years ago but you can't keep a good shock-rock band down.

And while the trademark fire-breathing, smoking guitars and pyrotechnics have stayed the same, after 3
