Dear KISS, I'LL NEVER see a better Rock Show as long as I LIVE; So have a safe tour & take CARE of yourselves... Thanks for all you GIVE.... Love & Kisses, Gaius (from St. Paul, MN) P.S. Everytime I heard Paul Stanley say "St. Paul", I thought of HIM (Paul Stanley).

Hello guys, I just want to thank all of you for well being you! I was lucky enough to attend the concert at Tinley Park just two nights ago. While I have been a fan for a long time, it was my first ever Kiss concert. It only made my love for all of you grow. Thank you so much for coming out. I had to travel a bit to get there. Spent the whole week worried if I would make it or not. I am so happy that I did. I can't explain how exciting it is to see a show! I had such a great time and came home hoarse from singing and cheering my heart out. These words are too simple to describe but, it is the best I can do. YOU ROCK! Please, please, please, come back again really soon! I can't wait to see another show! To Paul, you were amazing! Kept me pumped the whole time! Always love the shiny stars honey! To Gene, oh there are no words....love your voice! To Tommy, nothing like a lead guitar sweetheart! Amazing! Finally, To Eric, I have never loved a drummer so much in my life! When you sang, my heart skipped beats, beautiful voice! I could go on and on. Last but, not least. I want you all to know how much you made me smile. It hasn't been the best year and I am so uplifted since the show. You all gave me memories I will never ever forget and I long for more. Bless you all! Much Love, Dwan

The "great Minnesota get-together" meets The Hottest band in the world...and what a result! With cooler, yet perfect weather conditions, you guys rocked the open air confines of our great Minnesota state fair grandstands like no other before and dare I say ever! With decades in between concert visits (1976 Roy Wilkons Auditorium was my first) I was blown away by Paul and Gene of course but there is no doubt the total talent package is at a high level with this foursome. Keep it going KISS, you rocked the cool night till the fireworks came. Minneapolis/ST.Paul loves you and wants you back again.

Hay guys Tonight was my first KISS show and i loved it. Thank You so mutch and i hope you come back to Minnesota soon. I love you guys,

For my son Brandon's 14th birthday we went to Milwaukee on Sept. 2nd to see our 3rd KISS concert in the last 15 months and then surprised him with he very own KISS cake!!

Gene: I absolutely love Family Jewels and how down to earth the whole family is. Do you think that KISS will ever come to Montana?

Guy's your donations to the wounded warrior program is a real CLASS ACT. not many class acts left these day.

This was the very first time I have got to see Kiss since I've been a Fan from the begining. That concert was Freakin Finominall. I Love you Guys all I can Say is KEEP ROCKIN........ AWESOME
