On 10/22/2011 a zombie invasion decended upon Asbury Park. Approximately 12,500 zombies infested th Asbury Park convention Center & town...and rite smack in the middle of it was zombie Gene Simmons.....Like nothing ever seen before, zombie Gene walked with the masses posing for picture upon picture. Zombie Gene was a super hit 7 I'm sure it won't be his last appearance.

Dear KISS, We want to share with you our 5 year old son, Avery, drumming to Black Diamond at his first Talent Show, winning 1st place. YouTube Link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAH8edJSGdI or http://youtu.be/qAH8edJSGdI We are so proud of him. He learns songs by ear and on his own and always loves to practice. And YES, its ALL KISS, ALL the TIME. Avery has been a fan since age 1 and a KISS Army memeber since age 3. Avery is more a KISS fan then we will ever be. We can honestly say, he only started playing because you are. THANK YOU for being a GREAT Inspiration for Avery and his music!!!! Mom and Dad.

Hello KISS FANS, Visit your nearest Kohl's Department Store and purchase a pair or two of the KISS Flip Flops. Take Care, Michael A. (San Antonio, Texas)

Hey KISSonline! This is a picture of me taken on the Look-a-like contest @ KISS Kruise. I hope next year there's a category for women dressed like Gene. I was the only girl in armor! Don't I look awesome??? People were calling me Gina. :-) KISS Kruise ROCKED!!! My family and I had a really fun time and we can't wait for KISS Kruise Numero 2. :-) KISS I love you! Melody Santoni

Hey KISS, i was workin on this for about 2 days... im only 15 and i love the way you guys rock out. enjoy.

Hi guys! I just wanted to write you a quick letter thanking you. I�m only 15 but I�ve been a KISS fan all my life. The band has inspired me in so many ways and has truly made me who I am today. All three drummers made me want to become a drummer, which I now am. Gene has always been and always will be my biggest influence and hero. I can�t describe how much the band has meant to me over the course of my life. Words can�t describe the impact the band made on my life. The first time I saw the band live, it was like a dream come true. I was seeing the four men that influenced me more than anyone. So for that, I am forever thankful. To tell you how long I�ve loved KISS, my lullaby was Beth. I will always think of the band to be the best band and influence in all of history. Thank you so much guys! Sincerely, Richard Miller

Hi KISS June 16, 2010 you guys rocked my hometown Aalborg in Denmark. It was the best day of my life and the best concert i've ever attended. I stood in the front row, and I still remember Gene Simmons' amazing bass solo, Paul Stanley smashing a guitar, the huge confetti canons during "Rock and roll all nite" and of course all the fantastic music, you played. I will NEVER forget it! If you go on a European tour next year, I just want to tell you, that it would mean A LOT to me, if you visited Aalborg again! Thank you for a great and unforgetable time, and lots of amazing music. Keep on rockin'! Sincerely, Rasmus Hojberg PS. I can't wait for your new album "Monster" to arrive, I know it's going to be great.

I came on the Kruise with my mom! It was the coolest thing we've ever done. I was able to get up front for the outdoor concert, and caught one of both Gene's and Paul's picks. Then, when we got our photo taken, I stood in front of Paul. How cool!!! Everything about the kruise was fantastic. We met some nice people, and did some really awesome things. The concerts were fantastic!!! KISS is my favorite band, so I just wanted to say thank you! It was so much fun, and I want to come again next year! You guys all ROCK! xoxo Gracie B.

Last May, I decided to dip into my savings and book the KISS Kruise for two (my 12 year old daughter and myself...) I really didn't know what to expect, but I was getting the oppornity to see two awesome concerts and be in a photo with my favorite band, the band I've loved since first rockin' out to Strutter back in 1975! That was a great deal as far as I was concerned!! Well, the Kruise ended up being the vacation of a lifetime!!! I painted my daughter and I as different band members each night. We took advantage of all the cruise had to offer, and enjoyed two of the most amazing concerts the band has ever performed. The sail away concert blew my mind. I'd always wished that I'd seen MTV's Unplugged back in '95, but this concert made up for it!!! The indoor concert that Saturday night totally rocked too. My daughter and I weren't very close to the stage, but we managed to catch one of Paul's picks, and the venue was perfect, more intimate than other concerts I'd been to... Sorry to be so long winded, but I wanted to say thank you to the band and to Sixthman who steered us through a slice of KISStory!!! We won't ever forget it. m/,,m/ Amy B.
