Hi Gene, I had the pleasure of running into you a coule of years ago, when I was waiting for a flight at Atlanta Hartsfield International Airport. Unlike "some" other hero's of the public, you were happily signing autographs, having photo's taken with fans of all ages and talking to the fans ..... I thought that was brilliant ..... WELL DONE!!!

hey! i am 14 years old and i went to your last concert in anaheim. That was my first KISS concert and it was amazing. I can't wait to go to another concert with my dad. We had a great time! Now i am a major KISS fan and i know almost wevery single word to every song! I wake up to Detroit Rock City every morning. I would like to thank al four of the most amazing men in the music society for what they have done! You have amazing talent! Keep on KISSing!!! - Ilia Willison

Getting ready to rock out to the KISS concert on Face Book.

(I sent this letter to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame) To Whom It May Concern: I reviewed the list of artists nominated for 2011 induction, and I am shocked that some are being considered while KISS is conspicuously absent. Take for example, LL Cool J and The Beastie Boys. While both are talented artists, NEITHER are Rock and Roll artists at all. The same can be said for Donna Summer. In fact, in many ways Disco was the anti-Rock. If these are your "Rock and Roll" nominees, then Beethoven and Luciano Pavarotti are long past due to be inducted. The remaining nominees have solid, or at least reasonable Rock credibility, but Kiss can stand shoulder to shoulder with any of them. Through their long career, they've demonstrated skill, originality, a rebelliousness that is the soul of Rock and Roll, and an enduring connection with their audience. One does not have to be a die-hard member of the Kiss Army to recognize Kiss as a major force in Rock music. I recommend that you either reconsider your nominees, or add some quotes around your title, "Rock & Roll" Hall of Fame. Because while Kiss lives up to the standards of Rock, your organization does not. Sincerely, Brian Ross Anchorage, Alaska Radio Broadaster

I just read that KISS was snubbed for the Rock n Roll hall of fame again and am not surprised the folks who pick the bands are to old and KISS loves it loud.I think KISS should start it's owen Hall of fame first up the Late great Eric Carr and then Ace and Peter.KISS is a real rock n roll band no tape loops no one playing off stage and you always get more then what you paid for.KISS is the best band and yes we are the KISS Army and we will be heard.Rock n Roll hall of fame you suck.KISS ROCKS.
