I got this tattoo back in the summer of 1992. I have been a KISS fan since I was in the 6th grade (we actually talked the teacher into letting us put up a KISS poster on the bulletin board!). I'm now 45 yrs old and still as big a fan as ever. I had known about this design (from the inner sleeve of the "Rock and Roll Over" album, which I still have) and decided it would be the perfect tattoo, I did change the colors up a little, being that the original was all orange, I thought a little color added would look cool as well.

I just wanted to share with the entire KISS Army this acrylic painting I recently finished. It was kind of my personal tribute to Paul to celebrate his 60th Birthday. So here is to the greatest front man of the greatest and "Hottest Band in the World." Hope you enjoy! Jamie Sapp

Hello, I just wanted to THANK you guys personally for making a somewhat boring life alot less boring for me! Really - I thank you. I come from a relatively small town where nothing rock really went on. But through TV, Records, magazines I found you guys back in the 70s and it's been loads of fun (whenever I need it) ever since. Just was watching the 2000 NJ show online digging the good audio..Let me go rock n roll...what a great good time tune...100,000 years..classic!! I know every single note of 'em. I remember going to the show here in Ft.Myers Fl. around that time..Gene shooting me the rock n roll sign and catching Ace's pick! OMG. Looking at it in my hand now..what a gift.Then it hit me again. At 43 years old I was sitting back tonight thinking you guys rocked when I was too young to rock or even knew what it was - and are still rocking..amazing and how is that possible! SO many years later. Just wow. Dedication..so cool. You've made so many people happy. Back in 1976 at 8 years old my friend brought over the KISS Alive double record and it's never been the same since..I took up guitar a short while later at the ripe old age of 10 started playing some power chords - inspired! Of course I never knew about Eb tuning, that made it extra hard as a beginner ! lol I still play what tunes I can ..each time I crank one up it takes me right back to 8 and then just further to a happy rock n roll place that would have never happened with out you. m/ KISS is why I played guitar for 33 years now! And it's been such a cool ride. I like many many bands but..Classic KISS is still my fav...it's what rock is all about. Circus, Hit Parader, 16 magazine (only for kiss) I got em all and each new issue ,,,door covered with KISS photos, I prayed 20/20 would end so I could watch KISS meets the phantom! course I had the 76 tour classic poster and the 4 love gun era ones as well. etc etc etc. PS Re-issue the 1975 "Giant" alive poster!! Was thee poster to have yah know. Mine got water damaged...whew I miss it. I was thinking,,why did I do all that starting at 8? I realized even way back then... You were regular guys with a huge dream and made yourself bigger than life chasing and doing it, and you did it excellent...didn't care what the naysayers said. GOOD. You made the impossible ..possible! Even at 8 I was like wow..chek out these dudes! What an inspriration...and the creativity was mind boggling...still is. All of the everything you've done. The nuances as well as the huge things. You did it well..and just kept on keeping on..all for Rock n Roll. I know you were rich eons ago and THANKS for not stopping there!! SO many would have. It was boring again here ,,tonight. Everyone's sleeping, the occasional sound of a truck going by.. too quiet as usual. But now thanks to the internet once again I've Rock n Roll'd all night...might be too tired to party all day though. Haha Guys, I sincerely hope after all the good and bad.. that you had as much fun doing it as I had watching it. Anytime I need to go back to funner times I only have to remember back,,it's all there and still as fresh as ever. Or open the middle of Alive II and look at the pic lol..Craziness. Anyways sorry to go on and on but Thank you... I can't imagine what would have happened if my pal never stopped by with that record. Life is nothing without creativity and good times. I had to say that I appreciate it...personally. You guys ROCK.

Unfortunatley my dear father in law passed away after a fight with debilatating cancer. His memory will live on forever in my family's hearts. I have found listening to KISS music (a band that has been with me for 33 of my almost 38 years) a comfort in this most difficult time. That's what this band is all about to me. A literal soundtrack to my life. Thank you KISS, and may you rest in peace Stavros. Paul Xynos Melbourne

To all the KISS fans out there....Here's a KISS Key that is available at Wal-Mart. It's only available in one style, but has Gene on one side and KISS on the opposite side. I happened to find it in the automotive dept. where they copy keys.

"I´ve been a fan of KISS since 1983 and it´s been 29 years I´ve listened to the band every day. It´s only fair that I should put on my skin the name of the band that´s grown along with me"!! Rog�rio Leite - S�o Paulo, SP BRASIL!!

My wife and I drove over 300 miles from Jacksonville Florida to try on the boots in Marietta Georgia. Thanks Monster Mini Golf !!

Hi Guys, I am so happy for the "Sophie's Place" and the children who will be saved from abusers.I only hope that they will look in to the future of these children. The outcome and after affects of abuse. I am a survivor of sexual, emotional and physical abuse. I went through my life ( I am now 50 )not knowing anything about it. I started to come undone about 3yrs ago. It has been hard to accept that I ended up with Dissociative Identity Disorder. My brain had been injured due to the abuse. All the horrible pain and memories stayed locked in my mind. It does not matter that it was over 40 years ago. I have to tell my terrified young parts that it is not happening now even as I relive their pain. If I had a wish it would be no child would ever hurt again. For now, I wish people and professionals to understand the long term damage that can result, and why children won't tell on their abuser. Regards, Patricia Vaughan P.S. I am big fan since the 70's music helped my mind. I love your show, and your entire family! P.S.S. I do have a fantastic psychotherapist helping to integrate
