Wow! Where do I start? I have been KISS Army since I was introduced to you by my cousin thru your Marvel KISS comic. I was 6 years old and loved superheroes (what 6 year old boy doesn't?). When it was explained to me that you guys were a real rock n roll band, you really breathed fire/spit blood, and that nobody knew what you looked like I was hooked! I picked up ALIVE II shortly thereafter and the rest is KISStory. As a kid I carried my KISS lunchbox to school, got the dolls and plastic KISS guitar as Christmas and Birthday gifts, and glued myself in front of the TV to see KISS Meets The Phantom Of The Park. As a teenager I stuck with the band when many left them behind, watched them take off the make up on MTV, bought all the albums, and made it to my first KISS concert in January of 1988 in Pittsburgh. When I realized I didn't have the patience to be the next Gene Simmons on bass you inspired me to become a radio DJ and eventually a Program Director and Station Manager. Over the years I have amassed an entire room of KISS memorabilia (including the Bally KISS pinball machine), been to 22 shows, and have been lobbying for you to get into the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame (as seen in this 2009 picture of me at a show in Atlanta). I even operate a Facebook page asking fans to join me in showing their support to have you inducted as well. KISS has always been there for me throughout my life and I felt it was only fair to always be there for them as well, so I supported you in all stages of your career. Now, 40 years on, I wanted to say thank you and let's get you rightfully into the Hall Of Fame! Jason Burley

Hi to all Kiss members!!! Congrats for your 40 years of an amazing career! It would be fantastic if you could come to Portugal,commemorate your 40 years.Have you thought about that?You wouldn't regret that! All Portuguese Kiss fans, we are waiting for you. Rock On!!!m/

I have been a KISS fan since I was a child...I even had Kiss cards...but I watched tonight, on youtube, the full version of your MTV Unplugged session. I loved it until your mockery of the Southern dialect, your derogatory comment concerning farm animals and so forth... In all honesty, I'll never listen to a KISS song voluntarily and if I do have to hear it, it will never be the same. That's messed up.

I just wanted to share with KISS & The KISS Army a project I've been working on and off since October. This is the logo in stained glass. Notice I used the "KISS Kolors" for each letter. It measures about 21" x 11.5". This was my first time doing anything in stained glass and my instructor said it looked really good.
