KISS fans are the greatest!!

Last year when KISS was destroying Europe, I noticed there was a KISS fan from Canada who paid more than $100 for the ALIVE 35 tour program on ebay. I contacted him and offered to buy him anything for the real price on one of the shows I was going to see in Germany where I live. He (his name is Dean) wrote me back that this was a really nice offer but he couldn't send me so much money because he wanted to get all items due to the fact that he is a big fan of KISS (and now I know that Dean is the biggest fan I know).

I decided to buy Dean a CD recorded from one of the shows and a monster tour poster and sent them to him as a gift. We've stayed in touch by email for over a year. Last week I received a parcel from Dean with a KISS tour shirt from this summer's Canadian tour. I will never forget this day, when the postman brought me the parcel with the stamp from Canada on it. It was awesome and I was sitting there holding the parcel in my hands for nearly half an hour and smiling. I felt like a little child on Christmas eve!

Now I'm trying to see Dean this year and guess where and when???....on a Saturday evening in Cobo Arena. I guess this only happens when you are a KISS fan!

Keep on rocking guys.

Cheers from Germany,

Mario

Alice In Chains "Black Gives Way to Blue" Short Film

Cadillac High School Football Coach Dave Brines new they had to do something. The year before, the Vikings had gone 9-0 and finished third in the state, part of a 16-game winning streak. Although they had lost a few players since that undefeated 1973 season, Brines and his assistant coach, Jim Neff, knew their 1974 team was solid. Still, they had lost their first two games, although by close margins.

"They weren't used to losing. They were pretty down mentally," Brines said.

His conclusion was, "The kids weren't having any fun."

A coaching meeting to address the problem launched a series of events that, with Neff's help, would bring outrageously costumed, fire-breathing rock band KISS to Cadillac, Michigan for a visit that would be talked about and revisited for decades.

During the coaching meeting, Neff suggested playing rock and roll music in the locker room as a way to loosen up the team and get them ready to play.

The suggestion was a 180 degree turn from Brines' approach.

"I wanted the locker room quiet. I wanted them to be serious and think about the game," Brines said.

But Brines trusted Neff, and knew he had a good football mind, and he went along with the suggestion.

Tickets for 12 KISS Alive 35 concerts (listed below) go on sale today at 10AM (Local Venue Time) at all Ticketmaster outlets or visit the KISS Ticketmaster page.

KISS Tribute Destroyer was invited to play during the opening ceremonies for WORLDSKILLS 2009 which was being held in Calgary, Alberta this year. Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper also spoke at the week long event. After the ceremonies, the guys were honored to be introduced to the leader of our country. This was definitely a memorable moment for Destroyer as well as proving that Canada's leader is definitely KISS KOOL!!

Former Kiss Lead Guitarist Bruce Kulick returns to Australia

Bruce Kulick is coming back to Australia armed with his first new solo album in five years - BK3 - and a brand new live show that promises to delve into the depths of material from his twelve year tenure with Kiss and his work in the last thirteen years as a solo artist. BK3 is Kulick's third solo release, hence the title.

Australian fans will be among the first to hear the album, which will be released ahead of its worldwide debut at the concerts. BK3 features the soaring guitars and signature riffs that Kulick is known for, along with an array of special guests that include former Kiss band mates Gene Simmons and Eric Singer, Knack lead vocalist Doug Fieger, and Nick Simmons (Gene's son and rising star in his own right) making his vocal recording debut.

Bruce promises the shows will be worth the wait and will feature a plethora of Kiss tunes from the eight albums he recorded with the band between 1984 and 1996. Hits like "God Gave Rock and Roll To You II," "Crazy Crazy Nights," "Forever," and "Tears Are Falling" will be nestled alongside many rarities never performed live by Kiss themselves.
