Hello boys, Last nights concert in Sydney was phenomenal. You were all amazing and i had the time of my life. It was my 5 year old little brothers first KISS concert and he had an awesome time. He sang along to psycho circus and was smiling right the way through the entire night. My dad has been a fan his whole life and i looked over a couple of times and he was having so much fun. When you played crazy nights i almost cried as i was so happy and excited that you chose to play one of the best songs you have ever written. I wished the night never had to end. I could watch you play all day, everyday for the rest of my life. You are my idols. I have grew up listening you and have always loved you. I have fallen in love with you a lot more as i have gotten older. You are all amazing and i really do hope you come to our amazing country again!! KISS is my life. You have the ability to make me happy even at the worst of times. I am a proud KISS supporter and i always will be. Paul, you are my inspiration. You are an amazing person. Rock n Roll forever and Always. KISS forever and always! Love you Boys!!! True rock legends! rock royalty! Love Em xo (Number One Aussie Fan)

As I was making My utility payments today, I decided to undust my sonic boom CD and I really got a Boom. Thank you guys cause this album is Great and I love every song on it. I remember listening non stop to this CD when I first bought it cause it was amazing. Sonic Boom has so many great songs on it including "russian roulette","yes I Know," "Stand," "Danger us," "Danger us," "when lightning strikes," and..."say Yeah." Listing to sonic boom today made me remember how great and solid you are and brought back great memories to me. KISS is inspiring and makes you think about success and happiness. Sonic BOOM has all those elements on it and I thank you Guys for making such a great record. THANKS!

My gym teacher is a huge rock fan, so one day he asked me to bring my iPod to class so we could listen to music. Well, it turns out he's a huge KISS fan!!!!! He said his favorite song is "Lick It Up"!!!! The last song he plays is always "Outta This World" because he knows it's my favorite!!! He even let "All Hell's Breakin' Loose" play!!!!! He's is definatley an awesome teacher!!! Every once and a while he'll pretend to be Gene and stick his tongue out!!! I'm glad he's my gym teacher!!!! See you guys on the KISS KRUISE III!!!!!!! ~Jess

Hello, I am 13 years old and I listen to your music since age 4. I am probably your biggest fan and my wardrobe is actually filled with 17 KISS T-shirts and 4 pullovers. At any opportunity I put on a KISS T-shirt even at school even if they don't want, I don't care I want to show my religion! My life would be perfect if you respond to my letter. GOD GAVE ROCK & ROLL TO ME. I have all your songs on my Ipod. everybody at my school take me for a crazy girl but you guys are my religion! I just wanted to say that I really appreciate you and I love your music. COME TO MAKE A SHOW AT QUEBEC CITY PLEASE! -Kelly xxxxxxxx

A friend of mine recently posted a photo of kiss on my facebook page and it said, " The fearsome foursome the real kiss", I replied " no that's the first kiss , the real kiss is on tour right now ." Just wanted to say thanks to Tommy and Eric for making this band the best it's ever been !!!!!!!!!

Please check out this link to a local BBQ joint in Urbana, Illinois. One of the coolest ads I've seen in a long time, and Gene is the centerpiece. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151365041282872&set=a.269587502871.141759.92205772871&type=1&theater

Dear kiss! WOW!! Melbourne 6th March 2013 concert was a blast,we hired a stretch limo we dressed as kiss and we stomped in those boots.We made an inpact and at times very humbled with the fans of kiss who mobbed us for photos.The sound,the show the rock n roll will live forever! LONG LIVE KISS ALIVE!

I had an amazing and awesome time at the Melbourne concert. My father is a huge fan and always talked how good the concerts are, so i decided to see if he was just talking up his favorite band or not. I am 22 years old and I have grown up with Kiss as a soundtrack, i don't regret the concert and was definately everything my dada said it would be. LOVE YOU KISS

Hey KISS! Firstly, I would like to say a massive thanks for coming to Melbourne. Seeing you guys perform was a big thing for me last night. From seeing you on covers of vinyls and DVDs nothing compared to the epic live show. Luckily, we (my mum and brother) got the tickets to the destroyer zone early, that topped the expericne. middle front and centre! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw all of you lowered down playing one of my favourites "Detroit Rock City" It made the wait worth while. And concluding it with the encore of "Lick It Up" was a great conclusion. When the concert finished... I still wanted to hear some more tunes being rocked out (especially "Who wants to be lonely"). Even considering driving back home with two hours of sleep to compete in a swim carnival the next day. Being fourteen, unfortunately I wasnt around to experience the "KISSmania" in 1980 when you guys came to the land of Aus for the first time. From the concert footage on KISSology DVD, I could sense how awesome it would have been to experience the mystery of not knowing who these four guys looked like without make-up. I first heard of KISS in 2003 when my mum put on the "Rock and Roll Over" vinyl on record and played it. I just remember hearing the opening of "I want you" and just being blown back thinking "wow, this is just amazing!". And "rock and roll over" is still my favourite album to this day... In a tie with love gun, Asylum, KISS, Dressed To Kill and Animalize. I don't know honestly, what I'd be doing right now if I hadn't discovered KISS. I suppose, I wouldn't be learning bass and guitar (recently bought a Washburn PS1800!) and collecting your vinyls, action figures and listening to your songs on shuffle 24/7. I just want to say a huge thank you! For being there for me to listen to and role models to look up to (my dream career is to become a lead guitarist in a successful band) and hopefully will be able to see you all live again and listen to some more new material! --Questions 1. At what point did you think KISS had become a really successful band? 2. @ Paul: What is your favourite song and album? 3. @Tommy: where would you think Black and Blue would be if you were with them now? 4. @Gene: Favourite place to tour? 5.@ Eric: Who are your main inspirations? 6. Your least favourite album and why? 7. Do you think Vinnie Vincent had an impact on the band with the movement of music? 8. Tips to get into a successful band? Another big Thank You KISS! Sam. :)
