Dear KISS,

As a survivor of a drunken driving incident that nearly killed me when I was 8 weeks old and did kill my mother, I perform an alcohol awareness program called, "The Magic of Life" for high school and college students.

Not only does it combine comedy, audience participation and my personal story, but I proudly show my KISS Army stripes as I wear a KISS shirt each and every time on stage. Your influence to pursue our dreams and to be ourselves is an important life lesson that I share with each audience. In terms of peer pressure with students, I tell them what it is like to be a KISS fan and how we need to be proud of who we are, and not to let people bring us down.

Here is a link to my 8 minute promo that I wanted to share with you:

As you have been a huge part of my life, I wanted to share with you as you have shared with me. I am amazed on how many KISS fans, young and old I meet within each audience. This is my way of paying homage to a band that has meant so much to me.

Thanks again for being such an amazing influence on my life.

Sincerely,
Michael Gershe

Hello guys,

My son who has autism and is now 9 yrs old is a HUGE fan!Between the makeup and the songs he has it covered!He does take after his dad who has followed the band since 1976 and so has seen a few things over the years;anyway he really wants to see the band play in New York City,your home town and mine(Brooklyn).Please try and make my son's dream a reality soon!!

Thank you and god bless.

Your music is my favorite kinda rock n` roll, especially the stuff from 73 to 81! There`s something magic about the sound, the band`s image and of course the shows, today more than ever ! I`d love to get to meet y`all personally one day and/or get to a show ! Awe and respect from your devoted, die-hard fan Dan E. Stangeland from Norway.

My life has always been affected by KISS. I was bought up on the music that has now become the soundtrack to my life. I am now 18 and even though it may not be cool to love KISS at my age it is very much a passion of mine and will be for life. I have managed to see KISS four times so far once on the Psycho Circus tour and three times last year in Europe. It strikes me that after 36 years entertaining the KISS Army the hunger is there more than ever. I have never seen the band looking better or sounding tighter. If the form being shown in the live shows has translated onto the album we are all in for a HUUUUGE treat! I cannot wait to hear what you guys have got in stall for us. KISS is stronger then ever and the legacy just keeps getting crazier!!! ROCK ON!

I heard "I" on Sirius XM earlier today and just sat down to listen to "Music from The Elder" for the first time in many years. Although the album was much maligned, it was always one of my top favorites. Hearing it again gave me goosebumps! Great album! Thanks Kiss for keeping it going!

Don't forget to add Tour Dates to NYC. It would be sad if you forget your roots. There are past, current and future fans waiting for you guys to come back to the Greatest Stage in the World. NYC and Madison Square Garden. Hopefully we'll see you soon.

just writing to tell you guys that you are the best band in history, no one even comes close, and you guy gotta come to jacksonville, florida soon.
