Fan since 1977, and lovin' the new book. It is truly a testament to not only the beginning of KISS, but to a lot of your fans earliest childhood memories. Thanks for all the years and the music !!! Dave (KISS ARMY KANSAS) Campbell

Picked up the New Book Nothing to Lose Saterday and have been reading it, Outstanding Book! Love how we get everyones perspective at each point as to what was going on !

Just wanted to say that we selected your fantastic group for graduation party in our school and made a parody. Thanks :)

I have been on Kissonline before. I teach English using KISS as the positive influence in my students' lives. My students have been through a lot of tough times in school...but they finally see how it all comes together when there is a positive influence in their lives. For me, it has been KISS since 1975...Now, my students have developed the same love for KISS and the message of positivity I use when I teach has the students eager and excited about their future. It is all because of KISS....Diana Sosa (the student holding the fantastic new book, NOTHIN' TO LOSE) is a major KISS fan now. She has read the book from cover to cover. She is waiting to attend her first KISS concert. I, on the other hand, have been to over 170 KISS shows in my life. We all have a message for Gene, Paul, Tommy, and Eric..."We love you and the consistent message of positivity...We can't wait to Rock and Roll All Nite with you when you come back to NYC...Thank you for changing my life, the lives of my students, and the lives of everyone living in the world of KISS." A truly devoted KISS fan and teacher...Anthony M.

This is my 18th birthday cake! :D Love it so much!!! :D You're THE GREATEST BAND EVER!! :) P.S. Love you guys, especially Gene Simmons. Rock on KISS!!!!!

I wanted to thank you. You and Aerosmith concert was my baby son's first concert to go to, Greensboro, NC. I had gotten home and fixed all of our faces for the concert. When we got there, total shock to us, but we won the front row tickets. My son, Johnathan was so excited. Tommy Thayer (bless you) bent down and gave Johnathan one of his guitar picks. John was so excited. He kept that pick for years. He loved KISS because Y'all have been MY group "forever". Well, We wanted to be able to go to another KISS concert if you ever came back. My son was a passenger in a vehicle on Novemeber 28, 2012 when the driver lost control and hit a truck head on. The impact was on my son's side. He was killed instantly. I am having a very difficult time with this. Different Halloweens, he would have me paint his face as different Kiss characters. He took over all of my KISS memorabilia and got other kids his age to like KISS. He knew how badly I had always wanted to meet You all and said, "one day Mom, I will be able to get us Back stage passes so we can meet them." He had a big heart. Since his death I have been very depressed, had to go to mental hospital and all that good stuff. still going to counceling, but I will Never forget how Tommy Thayer made his night. Even though Johnathan was wearing Paul Stanley make up. His name is Johnathan Hibdon. Thanks for listening. I have had to listen to y'alls music a lot to get me thru this and all the memories we had that one really special night. Oh, Gene, I am so proud of you for finally marrying Shannon. Thank you all so much.

This isn't really a tattoo story...it is a Thank You. Here it is, the end of 9-11-13...Twelve years after the unthinkable events. I just re-read the Esquire article about the Falling Man ...my eyes are now stinging and dry. Benghazi has been ignored... there are general denials or is it helplessness about what's going on in our country and culture.... I'm bummed out to be sans relationship at this time in my life but I realize along with the losses in relationships due to one divorce, one death, and a plethora of bad decisions...that love will eventually prevail and conquer in my life....No real need to be sad per se....even through all of these things happening...I am joyful more often than not. In SIX WEEKS I'm going to be meeting an Army of new friends....a Navy of new friends...at 48 years old,... taking my FIRST vacation EVER on The KISS Kruise . Single I am...alone i am NOT. Thank you KISS ...Gene...Paul...Tommy and Eric .....Doc...the crew ...for what you have given me for not just 40 years...but for the 4 that have changed my life since going to my first KISS show. (That signature in the attached pic represents so much more than a letter can ever contain.)

Andrew Flihan Hi guys my name is Andrew, I'm 45 and been a fan since 13 yrs old. I have collected alot of your stuff through out the years. Recently my house incurred quite a bit of damage from Hurricane Sandy. Leading up to the storm I was out working as a volunteer fireman preparring our town for evacuation procedures. My wife was at home preparring for the worst of the hurricane. Not only did she save family memories but she saved you, my KISS Collection! Not one drip of water, even the 4 foot x 4 foot painting of your first album with signatures from Gene, Peter, and Ace that my wife actually let me hang in the Family room was not harmed and survived Hurricane Sandy. There were so many things that my wife could of saved but she choose to take the time ( that we did not have much of ) to save my KISS Collection cause she knew I would be devastated if I lost it. Now as we rebuild our home, my wife teased me that now, "you better get Pauls signature, now that I went crazy saving it all!" So grateful to my wife for doing that and that would be a great Thank You to her and then she could stop listening to me worring about getting it signed by Paul. I know you were in NJ this week, wish I could of come see you guys but been busy trying to get people back into their houses with my contracting business and also wish you could of come south a little bit . Oh yea I bought the book, it's KISStastic. Also now I have a full room devoted to you guys.

As a KISS Army member since 1984, I'm asking Army member to please consider helping the family of a Veteran that lost his battle with PTSD. He leaves behind a wife and two children.. KISS has always supported all of us Veterans and current military...Any help would be great and please share.. http://www.gofundme.com/48ue90
