Check out this cool KISS tattoo sent in by Billy Clements of Louisville, Kentucky. Billy has been a KISS fan since he was three-years-old. He got the tattoo to celebrate the 23rd anniversary of his first KISS concert! The tattoo was designed by Billy and David McKinney, and took over 30 hours to complete.

On this day in KISStory - December 31, 1973, Gene Simmons caught his hair on fire during KISS' performance at the Academy of Music in New York City.

From Blender Magazine:

As the bombastic Kiss bassist certainly knows, one of the perils of breathing fire is that you can't always control where the fire goes. Problems arose the very first time Simmons attempted the stunt onstage on New Year's Eve 1973, in New York City. Toward the end of "Firehouse," Simmons walked offstage to fill his mouth with kerosene, but when he returned to the center of the stage and blew a large fireball, it set his copiously hair-sprayed locks ablaze. A roadie quickly extinguished the flames with a wet towel, but Simmons hardly learned his lesson: He'd repeat the mishap another half-dozen or so times in his career.

Here's a clip of Gene catching his hair on fire at another KISS show.

The KISS Army has done it again! Rock 100.7, in Fort Smith, Arkansas, asked it's listeners to vote on the Top Ten Rock Songs of 2010. It was the largest response we have had to any of our on-line polls and coming in at #1, with 66% of the votes, was "Never Enough" from KISS. "Never Enough" beat out songs by Stone Temple Pilots, Robert Plant and Shinedown, just to name a few!

You can listen on-line to Rock 100.7's Top Ten Rock Songs Of 2010, December 31 starting at 6pm Central Time by logging on to our website Rock1007.com. Plus we will post the results on our website starting January 1st.

KLSZ is also excited to announce the re-launch of our wildly popular Goodnight KISS in January. A Goodnight KISS is a block of songs from KISS (just like Get The Led Out but instead of Zeppelin, it's KISS). Keep checking our website or be our friend on Facebook and be one of the first to know when you can get your Goodnight KISS with KLSZ.

Best Wishes For A Great 2011!

Dear KISS,

This was my very first KISSmas, as I am a new enlistee to the KISS Army (since August). But my fiance has been one since the Destroyer era. I think we made out pretty good this year... He got me the Destroyer dolls and I got him the 1999 KISS busts. Also not pictured are his Destroyer bar stool, my KISS cozy blanket, and the Creatures of the Night action figures. Looking forward to seeing you on the road in 2011.
