Seeing you guys in full gear is on mine and my wife's bucket list. Thank you for coming to Spokane, WA! We'll be in the 5th row!

I wanted to share a pic of me as Paul Stanley. I play in a KISS Tribute Band in Phoenix called "Psyko Circus". We have a huge show Saturday, playing to approximately 1,500 people. It's a real privilege to play the Starchild. We are having the time of our lives!!

I just wanted to thank you guys for FINALLY visiting Manchester! Seeing as it's only 20 minutes away, it's the PERFECT opportunity to see you guys in concert for the third time! You guys coming to my backyard is the best gift I'll get for my 25th birthday!

hey, I'm Tuukka Ahvenus. I live in Urjala, Finland. I was watching KISS Tampere on 10.6.2010. I'm a fan of KISS. I've made KISS the clock in school, and there's a picture of it. Ps: Are you coming to Finland some day I'd be excited about coming to watch. Tuukka Ahvenus

Dear Kiss, first of all I would thank you for the incredible energy you and your music give me ! Unfortunately I "found" you recently; I always knew the name of Kiss, but I never collected your CD or gone to a concert. What a big mistake ! Only now I realize and I trying to make up for lost time ! So, I would ask you if you're planning a new tour in Europe. I hope to meet you very soon ! Maria

One of Holland's best and most popular singers seems to be a huge KISS / Gene fan from childhood on. To support the dutch cancer charity fund KIKA a lot of dutch artists dressed up like their idols. Here you see a picture of Marco Borsato dressed as Gene, his favorite icon.

MOST FAMOUS DUTCH SINGER MARCO BORSATO CHANGES INTO GENE SIMMONS Below are quotes of an article that was placed into �Veronica Magazine�, a Dutch television magazine. It features an article with the subjec t �Heroes�, in which famous Dutch people can translate into one of their Heroes. The artwork is sold for the benefit of the KIKA (Children Cancerfree)-foundation. Below I translted some quotes of the Marco Borsato-interview, in which he explanies his choice for �Gene Simmons�. (Marco Borsato is a famous Dutch singer for over 20 years in Holland, where he scored none les than 16 nr. 1 hits, equal to the Beatles! His hit Dromen zijn bedrog was placed on the nr. 1-position for 12 consequetive weeks andhe owns the record of the artist with the most nr. 1 hits in a row, 11 to be exact) From the interview: �Gene Simmons doesn�t impersonate at all who I am: he is so extravagant! As a kid I was fascinated bij KISS and Gene Simmons in particular. It had nothing to do with being angry at my parernts or something like that, I just thought KISS made good music.� It took me an hour to get the make up on, then I had to put on the costume, which was provided by Dutch Tribute band �KISS Lickss�. As a menmber of the Dutch KISS ARmy I bought all the merchandise I could get as a kid. I thought they were so special and different from all the other bands. There was a kind of magic which fascinated me. How would they look in real life? Although I must confess I never went to a KISS-concert. It never happened for me, but I still want to do it sometime. Maybe In a a few years, it�s not possible anymore. As far as I know, they will be visiting Holland next year, so that�s a good time to visit them! As a kid I never realized the nickname of Gene was The Demon, all I did was singing �I was made for loving you�. I had no clue what I was singing, which I see happening with my lyrics. Kids doens�t have a clue what they sing! Gene wasn�t a heroe of mine because of the fact that he aledgely went to bed with thousands of women. I think that�s all bullshit, I don�t think it�s true.� Check the website: www.veronicamagazine.nl for �� the making of� . � this artwork!
