COMMUNISM COULDN'T STOP SLOVAKIAN FANS!
KISSONLINE FAN LETTER
Hi KISS fans!!!

Sending you a picture of my cousins that was taken back in 1981 when Slovakia was still under communism. We could not listen to any foreign bands or wear jeans, and KISS LPs were not available in the stores. Despite everything being ”illegal”, we still managed to get access to your music through our relatives in the US. In this picture, we were just boys, but now we are 40-50, have freedom in our country, and continue to be fans and enjoy going to your shows.

Just wanted to share these 4 illustrations I just finished for my newly remodeled bathroom. I love KISS and Bassett Hounds... so there you go.

(If they were a group, their name would be "LICK" I'm sure!) Enjoy!!!

GOT ED BY MY BIRTHDAY CARD
KISSONLINE LETTERS
My cousin's family totally surprised me with this birthday card. I have seen the Hallmark cards that play Rock and Roll All Nite but had no idea this one was out there until I opened it. Perfect card for this KISS fan!

KRUISE WAS OUR DESTINY!
KISSONLINE LETTERS
We are writing to KOL because we would like to share a very special love story that has KISS and the KISS KRUISE written all over it. KISS has been a gateway to many of our experiences but none as monumentally life altering as meeting each other onboard the “DESTINY” during the inaugural KISS Kruise.

Most people say and continue to say that a relationship with a man from Montreal Canada and a woman from San Diego California cannot possibly work, the distance too great, the challenges too overwhelming. Well, time and distance is NOT a factor in the KISS Nation. The words, “I see my future when I look in her eyes” could not be more true in this case.

Now, 3 months later we met up in San Diego and our bond has become stronger. All that is left is a happy and fulfilling future together. This would not have happened were it not for our mutual love for KISS and their music, as well as Sixthman launching the first ever KISS Kruise.

We encourage other people to go on KK2 this year. You may just find your soul mate onboard as we did. Thank you KISS and Sixthman for making our dreams come true...it truly was our “DESTINY”

PICTURED: Cover and variant cover of the new Archie Meets KISS issue.

By shathley Q

Archie Meets KISS is a flawless piece that plays magnificently the strengths of both Archie Comics' beloved protagonists and to KISS. Enjoy your exclusive preview.

How strange is it, that it would be Sam Peckinpah to articulate this moment?

Right at the end of The Wild Bunch there’s a moment that has absolutely no place in that movie. The Bunch have met up again, they’ve holed up in some anonymous house, but they encounter each other changed men. One look in their eyes and you know, individually, they’ve each committed themselves to rescuing Angel, held prisoner by the Mexican General, the movie’s chief villain.

It’s a flawless, near silent cinematic moment. The camera sweeps across the room. Each of The Bunch know with a certainty that the tensions between them will never be resolved. There’ll never be restitution. And yet, with an equal certainty, each one of them is now, uncharacteristically, committed to this greater thing of rescuing Angel.

MY BIRTHDAY PARTY!
KISSONLINE FAN LETTER
Just wanted you to know I've been a KISS fan since the Destroyer days, and what better way to celebrate turning 45 than to have a KISS-themed birthday party? My wife and daughters and I donned the makeup, my younger daughter painted faces for many of our guests, we played KISS music and did KISS songs on "Rock Band." It was a great party! Thanks to Gene, Paul and the guys for all the music and shows over the years.

More photos from my party are at: http://www.kentonkilgore.com/seeing/keegs_birthday_kiss.

FATHER & DAUGHTER SEAL BOND WITH !
KISSONLINE FAN LETTER
My dad and I just recently got matching KISS tattoos! Although painful, it forever sealed the bond between us that KISS has provided for my father and I. Ever since attending shows as a young kid, collecting, and more, KISS has offered us so much more than music. I'm happy to know that we have a special bond that every one can see, and shows that while we have a love for the music, we also take part in the passionate lifestyle that kiss offers!

GENE SIGNS STICK FOR NHL STAR
Jannik Hansen gets Gene Simmons to sign his stick during warmup

Sunday night versus the Anaheim Ducks, while he was skating around in warmup, Hansen saw Gene Simmons sitting by the glass, and screw it, he wanted an autograph right at that very moment. So, you know, he just skated over and got one because Jannik Hansen don’t care.



For the record, what Hansen did was unusual. If a hockey player wants an autograph from a celebrity, it’s normal to do it after the game or get somebody to do it for you. Approaching the guy during warmup is strange, as Dale Weise and Cory Schneider’s reactions indicate.
