THANKS FOR THE MAGIC MOMENT AGAIN!

Thank you for giving me and my friends, another magic moment in our lives, surely none of us will forget the night of November 17, 2012, in which we travel from our city to the capital for 2 hours to see the greatest show on earth. In a town with 30 thousand people, only 10 people had the chance to see the band. I went for the second time, but my friends were ready to see the band for the first time. And,surely never forget what they saw.

Thanks KISS! We will never forget, and please come back AGAIN.

KISS stepped onstage with their colossal boots, bringing chills to the Sao Paulo audience of approximately 25,000 people at Arena Anhembi. The band's entry came in style with the powerful one-two punch of "Detroit Rock City" and "Shout It Out Loud" from 1976's classic "Destroyer," sending the public into madness. Then another song from the golden age of KISS: "Calling Dr. Love." Gene Simmons took the lead vocals for the first time, enchanting the crowd with his charisma and stage presence.

After a series of songs from albums that came out during a time before many of us were even born, behold, the band featured two tracks from the new album "Monster." "Hell Or Hallelujah" live is powerful and exceeds the excellence and quality of the studio version. Before beginning the fourth song, Paul Stanley exuded showmanship when interacting with the public, who were going berserk in the Arena. "Wall Of Sound," although it is not a single, was warmly received by fans. Then, there's nothing like "Hotter Than Hell" coming next in sequence, and the song's title summarized what it was like on Saturday in Sao Paulo: hotter than hell. The track from the album of the same name by 1974 showed that, even if some fans didn't know every lyric, the chorus was on the tip of everyone's tongues.

When it comes to KISS, respect and admiration between the band and its public are mutual. The quartet, especially Paul Stanley, paid many compliments to the fans who were present at the show. In one of the most striking moments, Stanley said he had been in Argentina and in Chile, and the audience booed, of course, -- but soon after he said Sao Paulo is the number-one city, sending the audience into a frenzy.

KISS IS EVERYWHERE!

As tickets went on sale this morning @ 9.00am Melbourne time, I bought my 6 tickets from Ticketmaster and headed off to work. As I made my way through the morning traffic, there was a light at the end of the Tunnel in the form of a KISS Billboard for the Australian tour. It was a great reminder of what we have to look forward to in early March. Melbourne can't wait for the Hottest Band in the World to come to town!

Hey Guys,

Here's a new piece of KISStory for all of us as a family. We have a spot reserved in our living room for these framed KISS Kruise memorabilia. Although we have met the boys a few time, it was our first time all together on a Kruise ! The experience was amazing and the band kicked ass as always.

Hope to see you all again on the KISS Kruise 2013!

Cheers, Victoria, Martina, Virginia and Eduardo from Canada.

As you celebrate Thanksgiving today, please take a moment to think of all you can be thankful for. We can all stop and count our blessings, let those we love know our feelings and make a commitment to help those less fortunate.

Check out these great photos of the KISS Army celebrating during KISS' South American MONSTER Tour!

The Coalition to Save Thanksgiving is all about raising awareness while having fun. The best way we can think of to do that? Hand turkeys!

Last year, Buffalonians got in the spirit of Thanksgiving by creating their own hand turkeys, including this great KISS inspired one!
