Hi KISS!

I just want to thank you sincerely for the show at Geneve the 17th May. It was so magical for me. I live some difficult moments of health but thanks to you, I was able to forget the pain during the show. You can't imagine the value of this happiness moment. You are so fantastic and I'm very proud to be a member of the "Kiss Army France". Thanks again, I really hope see you again. Don't change anything, you are perfect !

This day will stay for me, an unbelievable Memory.

Thanks again!

Emilie

KISS ADD BLOOD TO COMIC BOOK

May 26, 1977 - KISS announce their debut KISS Marvel Comic book and deposit their own blood in the comic book ink at the Marvel printing plant.

Gene recalled the event:

As the KISS comic book project moved along, someone came up with the idea of putting real blood in the ink. It wasn't me - maybe it was Bill Aucoin. We got in the DC3, one of those big prop planes, and flew up to Buffalo to Marvel's printing plant, where they pour the ink and make comic books. A notary public actually witnessed the blood being drawn.

Kiss transformed the Leipzig Arena on Tuesday into a firepot. The band brought their Sonic Boom Over Europe 2010 tour to the city, bringing all the equipment necessary for a rock and roll circus. The 10,000 enthusiastic fans - many of them young - enjoyed the beautiful, expensive pyrotechnics, flashy costumes and legendary bassist Gene Simmons' tongue play.

Kiss delivered a gigantic show to the packed arena. From detonations to blood-spitting to a rain of confetti, fans didn't miss a thing. With a pulley cable, singer and guitarist Stanley slid across the ceiling to the middle of the auditorium, and bassist Simmons was enthroned on a lit ceiling platform.

Eric Singer, Tommy Thayer, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley presented old hits like "Rock 'n' Roll All Night" and "I Was Made For Loving You," as well as three songs from the current album.

KISS IS EVERYWHERE!

I just want to say thanks to KISS!

My girlfriend and I came to see you in London on the 13th of May, 21010, which was also my birthday. It was the best birthday I could ever ask for, as the best band ever was playing! I also want to thank you for another reason. During "Rock and Roll all Nite," I proposed to my girlfriend, and she said yes! She loved the way I did it because of all the confetti, and the almost once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see you guys.

Thanks, and come back to England soon!

KISS IS EVERYWHERE!

Just like the real thing!

E.W. Pratt High School teacher Carla Badger portrayed rock and roll star Gene Simmons at the Primavera talent show April 27 in High Prairie, Alberta. Complete with makeup and Simmons' trademark tongue hanging out, Badger and her group were a smash hit with the audience. Several students displayed their talents during the show. Please see more coverage in next week's South Peace News.

Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- When KISS tours the United States this summer, it will not be for nostalgia, the band said.

After nearly four decades of touring and recording, KISS has hundreds of songs to choose from, but bassist Gene Simmons promises a new show.

"Every time we go on tour we add new stuff people have never seen before," he said. "We continue to add more songs to our large repertoire."

Their latest album, Sonic Boom, is "classic KISS without sounding retro," guitarist Paul Stanley said.

"The Hottest Show on Earth" tour will kick off July 23 in Cheyenne, Wyoming, with at least 22 concerts, mostly on weekends through Labor Day.

KISS AT ROCK HONORS

On this day in KISStory - May 25, 2006, KISS closed ROCK HONORS, which also featured Queen, Def Leppard and Judas Priest as inaugural honorees of "VH1 Rock Honors." "VH1 Rock Honors" was launched by the network to pay homage to the gods of hard rock! The event took place at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas and included live performances by each of the bands.

KISS performed "Detroit Rock City," "Deuce," "Love Gun" and an unscheduled "Makin' Love." Right before the KISS set, an ALL STAR band featuring Ace Frehley, Rob Zombie, Tommy Lee, Scott Ian, Gilby Clarke and Slash ripped through a brutal version of "God of Thunder" honoring KISS.
