Letters

Dear KISS. On July 6, 1990 my dad took me to Old Orchard Beach ME to see you for the first time. 20 years one month and one day later Im now the dad and am going to be taking my son to see you guys for the first time at the Comcast Center in Mansfield MA. I cant wait for him to experience you guys and to bring annother generation of KISS fans into the world. Ty so much for all you have give me and the the rest of the KISS fans throughout the years.

Hay kiss this is hayden and austin you are our idols and your the best band ever. We know all your songs and albums. We live in pensacola you guys just played a concert here in October at the civic center.We hope you come back again we would really love to see one of your concerts!

I just have to say that I am very much looking forward to your concert in September in Toronto. I met my boyfriend last year, just before your concert here in Winnipeg, and he was so excited to be going to see you with his boys. Since his 45th birthday is this September, I am surprising him by flying him to Toronto JUST to see your show. I was hoping to actually purchase the meet and greet, but those seats are already gone. However, I was very excited to obtain some nice seats with the premium package. He will be thrilled beyond believe as you definitely are his favourite bad of all times. Don't worry, I'm not one of those crazy people wanting you to wish him a happy birthday or anything. I'm just thankful your is still going on as it will make a very wonderful birthday and anniversary gift to him. I too am very much looking forward to your concert. Keep up the great concerts because you really are one of the best bands of all times! All the best, and see you in September!

My brother Jimmy my best friend who died 9 days before mine and his son's birthday January 9 2004. He was only 39.He understood me and my love for KISS we shared that bond together along with our love of football and hockey.He taught me so much. We went to our first KISS concert together in 1978 and our last together in 2000 passing the torch to my sons by taking them to shows too! My sons Gary and Nick always talk about how much they loved him and miss him he was a great uncle to them. I miss him every day and am still lost without him!!! It devastated me and even though he sent me an angel named Chuck who has helped me live and love again and in a lot of ways is like Jimmy he has a big heart like him. Now 10 years after we went to our last KISS concert together I am finally ready to go again. I have not gone to see KISS since he died. I wanted to but I felt it would not be the same, I would felt guilty that I am there and he is not and I guess I just did not want to turn to look for him next to me and he would not be there. I now feel I am ready again to see KISS. I have the greatest loving husband in the world who does not judge me when I would cry out of the blue when I would here a song or see a video or a sports game that would remind me of my brother. He let me mourn, and I had for many years but now I have gotten past a lot of that. My husband has not replaced my brother not at all but like Jimmy has accepted me and loved me for who I am unconditionally. My husband Chuck is a KISS virgin. He has never seen them live in concert and will now July 30th. I will look at him and see the awe in his face at the show because although he has seen videos he ain't seen nothing yet! He is a metal head like me so I know he will love it. I am getting the excitement of knowing I am going to see KISS as I did in the past and I know my brother Jimmy will be there also because this concert is the one of the finally tests of me moving on without him . That's why I have not gone to see them before this I could not move on. I told my husband I might cry at the concert but I will probably cry after the show.I have been a fan since 1973 and my brother told me I would one day met KISS that has never happen. Not crying for the loss of my brother but crying for joy that I shared this with Chuck and yes something that has meant so much to me since I was six years old and I believe my brother will be happy that I finally went back to where I belong ...to see KISS again!

G'day Firstly you guys are amazing, I really respect your work and am a huge fan! Secondly, I've included a picture of four portraits I did from the 1978 solo albums. Thirdly any chance of coming to Australia? In particular a little state called Tasmania? We need more musicians of your status down here! Jess :)

Hello, I'm a 41 yr. old KISS fan from The Bronx (Morris Park) I've been listening to KISS my whole life. I dig all the albums by all the lineups over the years. Rock & Roll Over is my favorite classic KISS album & I think Carnival Of Souls is one of the heaviest, darkest, coolest & underated KISS albums ever made. I really love that album a lot.. but Sonic Boom is right up there in my top 5 favorite KISS albums. I think sonic Boom is tremendous! My girlfriend, Camille & I are coming to see yous at Jones Beach on August 14th!.. Man, I can't wait! It'll be my 2nd time ever seeing yous in concert. The 1st time was on The Crazy Nights tour, Ted Nugent opened. That was a friggin' amazing concert! Anyway, I wanna say thank you for being The Hottest Band In The World - KISS!! P.S- Please consider playing some songs from Carnival Of Souls during the tour, I think they'll sound incredible if played live by the current KISS lineup.

hey guys, im 17 years old and have been a KISS fan since the day i can remember thanks to my dad. i love the new album, but i would like to know if your going to bring the tour down to Oz. Cant wait to go to another KISS concert. rock on Stefan

Dear Paul, Gene, Eric & Tommy: I want to share with you and all the KISS Fans worldwide this picture, just to thank you all the happiness you gave me since I was 13 year old until today I am 44. I took the pic a day before the birthday of my third daughter, Circe Helena (July 6th, 2010), surrounded by his sisters Indiana Dafne, 10 years old (right, January 20th, 2000, just like Paul!) and Ariadna Athena, 5 years old (left, a lovely little demon, just like Gene!). Mariela, my wife, and my three daughters are my Four Angels and we are a very happy KISS family. The girls will continue and increase my love for your art and legacy when I'm not here. Thanks Dear God for my family; thanks KISS for the music: how much can I ask for? Irving Anthony Ibarra (Tucum�n, Argentina).
