KISS IS EVERYWHERE!

Hi, my name is Ricardo Rueda. I'm from Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico. I was driving my car and I saw this mural on the street, outside a house. It is great, KISS is in it, also many other great bands like the Beatles, Ramones, Rolling Stones, AC/DC and more.

Here's KISS performing "Let Me Go, Rock and Roll" filmed from the photo pit in Hollywood, Florida last month!

Just got back from Palm Desert and a wild week playing in the Kraft Nabisco Championship. Had a great time playing the first day of the tournament with Chinese pro, Shanshan Feng. Shanshan made a sensational hole-in-one during our round on the 170 yard 17th hole. Now that's impressive! The second day I had the pleasure of playing with the beautiful Norwegian Suzann Pettersen, one of the top 5 players in the world. Alice Cooper was kind enough to get me into the event which included a Monday night party where we turned up the volume and jammed with the local band. Went to dinner at one of my favorite nightspots, 'The Nest' and ended up running into my buddy George Lopez who was holding court with the locals. Of course my lovely wife Amber was there enjoying the good times by my side. Not a bad week at all...

HELLO KISS.

I am Mateo, I admire you a lot, me and my friends are going to play your song "I was Made for Lovin You" at my school. I am in the second grade and I am 8 years old. I made this with Legos, markers, whiteout and some paper and my Lego toys: I hope you like them.

I play the electric guitar (Gene Simmons.) I hope you read this and Rock n' Roll all night. You guys are super cool!!

Adios Amigos.
Mateo, Fan From Mexico

Check out this great photo of Tommy Thayer and George Lopez that George posted on his Twitter feed this week!

Wow, where to begin?! Very few times in my life have I felt so compelled to show such immense appreciation for something; this is one of those times, as our family has been so impacted by KISS. My husband and I have always loved the music, but our boys have taken it to another level.

At 14 and 11, Weston and Noah are by far the most knowledgeable, intense fans. I have never been so proud of their achievements and dreams; you gave that to them. At the age of 2 Weston was diagnosed with Congenital Hypatic Fibrosis, leaving him limited on what he can physically do, but most importantly limited on what his future may hold. Weston can play his guitar like nothing else; a natural. He leaves us speechless at each talent show... as he is playing yet another KISS song he has mastered.

Hi KISS,

This is a photo from a Carnival Party in Zilina, Slovakia. We won second place with our masks! We are: Martin as Gene and Jan as Paul...KISS IS EVERYWHERE...yeeeeaaaah:)))

Castle Scoop: Gene Simmons Ready to Rock

By Megan Masters

Castle is about to get rocked by legendary KISS frontman Gene Simmons.

TVLine has exclusively learned that Simmons will appear as his badass self in Castle‘s Los Angeles-set murder-mystery episode, set to air in early May.

Per an ABC insider, Castle (Nathan Fillion) and Beckett (Stana Katic) follow a lead straight to their victim’s Beverly Hills home, which just so happens to be owned by the rock superstar. Turns out, said victim had been living in the pad’s guest house prior to the incident. After a quick chat with Simmons in his fictional Beverly Hills backyard, the crimefighting pair sets off to continue their trek through La-La Land.

THIS DAY IN KISSTORY 2005

On this day in KISStory - April 1, 2005, KISS closed the Rockin' The Corps concert held at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base in San Diego. The free concert was organized as a thank you for the Marines who have served in Iraq and their families stationed at the base. The event was attended by approximately 55,000 active duty military personnel and their families and broadcast by the Armed Forces Radio and Television Network to servicemen, servicewomen and civilians at bases world-wide.

You just never know where KISS will show up nowadays.

KISS truly is everywhere! Here's fitness guru Richard Simmons donning the makeup of a different Simmons at a recent workout class:
