My recreation of a famous photo in KISSTORY. I made this special visit to a Kyoto temple as part of my recent trip to see KISS on tour in Japan, December 2019. - Richard Goad

KISS, I?€™m only 5 but I am a huge KISS fan! In August 2019, My parents took me to see KISS play at the Virginia Beach Amphitheater. We painted our faces and had the best time rocking out with you! My two year old brother had become a huge KISS fan too and he sings all your songs with me! We are proud members of the KISS Army now and always! Love, Dorian (age:5) and Nolan (age:2) Laboy

Love from Sarah and Lucia ( 3 years old) in south of France ! - Sarah Leprevier

Good times. I came across this cool picture from 1998 time frame. It was taken on Bolling AFB, Washington DC. Probably the only KISS room ever on base housing! I really love collecting posters and toys although the reality is everything KISS! I started collecting KISS memorabilia when I was 13 years old and went to my first show in 1984, Animalize tour at the Spectrum in Philly, PA. To date, I've been to 75 shows and have tickets for the Covid-19 postponed shows in Lafayette, LA and Biloxi, MS...can't wait. I love the build-up of energy as a show nears. Being around all the long time fans and surprisingly the new fans attending their first show. It's just so cool sharing stories and making memories. A right of passage for sure. We will all see each other soon...I know it! Joe Dwyer - San Antonio, Texas

My 12 year old daughter Amaya Herzog is a huge fan of KISS and drew this picture of Ace. Back in 2019 she told me it was her dream to see a KISS concert but since they were doing their farewell tour she thought she would never get the chance. Well, I could not deny my little girl her dream if there was anyway possible for me to make it happen. so I looked for concert tickets and managed to find some for the Houston, TX show. She absolutely had a great time and I got to make a dream come true. - Dirk Herzog

Hi, KISS. My full name is Michael Delianides, but you can call me Electric Mike. I drew the above image of Paul Stanley's makeup pattern and attached it. I am a huge fan of KISS. I have seen you guys twice in concert. I love you guys as a band. I just wanted to let you all know this before you guys broke up as a band. I just hate to see my favorite band break up. Please just let me know if you like the artwork. I did draw the makeup patterns of Gene Simmons, Eric Singer, and Tommy Thayer as well, but I could not attach them all in this letter. Godspeed every one of you, and bless all your hearts and your music. Rock and roll! - Electric Mike

I miss You guys! This Is a Pic I take at the Italian concert of 2019 in Milan... I was waiting to see You again in Verona, but i have to wait (F U Covid). Hoping to see You soon live again i share to You this Pic. Other pics on my IG profile @davophantom - Davide Pisati

Thanks KISS! - JESUS VALVERDE

Back in 2016 during the Freedom to Rock Tour, I was finally able to make a dream of mine come true and meet my favorite band, KISS! Previously, I had been battling cancer for over a year and during that time of chemo and surgeries, the latest issue of Boomer Magazine came out with KISS on the front, and my Oncologist, Dr. Gonzalez was on the back! So I had my doctor sign the back page, as without him, I wouldn't be here today. He is my hero. I swore to myself that if I ever got the chance to meet KISS, I would have them sign the front. Well, that day finally happened back in September of 2016! This is my post prized KISS possession! Priceless! Thanks KISS and Thanks Dr. Gonzalez!!!! Listening to KISS got me through some rough times and that was certainly one of them. - TIM SANDERSON
