Last weekend Dutch tribute band KISS on the Rocks celebrated their 5th anniversary, as well as the birthday of their beloved tour manager 'Tattoo' Hans. Hans is arguably the biggest KISS collector in Holland, and expanded his collection with an official Paul Stanley Flying V guitar, given to him by the tribute band. Pictured is Hans, who has KISS tattood all over his body, in front of replicas of the KISS Alive! 35 tour stairs, which he recently developed for KISS on the Rocks. And of course, he's holding 2 KISS birthday cakes.

Congratulations Tattoo Hans!

To celebrate our 15th anniversary of DESTROYER magazine we've released a limitedited edition Poster Special.

The Poster-magazine is done in the same style and size as the old ”POSTER”-mag. from Sweden in the 70´s. For more information visit www.kissarmysweden.net .

KISS Army member Ken Edmunds filmed time-lapse videos of himself drawing the Destroyer album cover, as well as KISS' solo album covers by hand. Check out some of his artwork:

Like mother, like son!

Here are two generations of KISS fans. The first is me taken 25 years ago when I was just 3 months old. KISS did not have kids' shirts then so my Dad saw the band on the Asylum Tour and put me in his shirt. The next picture is my son, 3 months old in his first official licensed KISS shirt! Look’s like we are carrying on the family tradition. My Dad can't wait until he's old enough to go with us!
