Hi KISS Army,

Check out these new KISSmas ornaments from KISS from licensee Kurt Adler. The company is also planning to release a few other KISS ornament designs and we will bring you photos as soon as we get the samples.

Dear KISS,

Vancouver was my very first KISS concert. I have been a huge fan for some time. Finally, I got to go to a KISS concert. I was so happy I ended up getting the meet and greet package which got me a seat in row two dead center. Meeting KISS was a life changing moment for me. KISS was the band that got me into rock and metal music. If it wasn't for them I wouldn't be currently playing bass and singing lead vocals for my band "Merciful Angel".

So I want to say thank you to all of you guys - Gene,Paul, Tommy, and Eric - for your great dedication to your fans. You guys are great to take the time to meet your fans.The show was amazing. I couldn't believe how great of a show you guys put on. I even got to catch a pick. Paul aimed a pick right at me , when I caught it I was so happy I could of almost shed a tear. This was the best day of my life, I got to meet the guys who changed my life forever, my idols, the hottest band in the world KISS.

I wanted to do something very memorable... So I got all of KISS to sign, then I had the signatures tattooed on to my arm so I had something to remind me of that day for the rest of my life. I just want to say thank you again for every thing that you guys have done for me. Please come back to Vancouver.

Thanks,
Mark Warhurst

Hello KISS & the KISS Army!

Check out these great custom-painted KISS football helmets. I wanted a KISS collectible that no one else had. I love pro football and KISS so I thought these would be perfect. My fellow Kiss friend Brett Resler painted them for me.

Thanks,

Hi KISS!

I'm a long time fan. Bought my first Kiss record in 1976, and are still hanging in there. How's that grab ya?

Came across this picture on the front page of the Danish Hi-Fi magazine, and immediately thought that even a hardworking rockstar needs to take some time off, once in a while...

Enjoy!

Don't these KISS kids look great?....We think so!!!

KISS loves to see the next generation of the KISS Army...so keep the photos coming!

Dear KISS,

I had never been to an NCAA game and went to the Gator Bowl for New Years. I just had to go in KISS face in support of my WVU Mountaineers. Several people hugged me and had pics taken with me, even when I went out to eat after the game. It was great fun.

Happy New Year!!!

Your Biggest Fans, USAF, AMMO, Balad, Iraq

Hey KISS!

Salutes from the AMMO Air Force troops at Spangdahlem Airbase,Germany. You came to visit us in early 2008, then we got to go see you guys in Luxembourg later that night. The most awesome freakin' concert ever. A little later that year, us AMMO troops were tasked to deploy to Balad, Iraq. To boost our morale a little at work, we decided to order face paint and paint our faces in honor of the "Greatest Band in the World."

We had a good time parading around the bomb dump in 130 degree heat and sand storms, showing off our artwork. Hope you enjoy the picture as much as we enjoyed taking it. Thanks again for still kicking ass for us younger generations. I grew up listening to you from my parents and still love to listen to you today. See you at Rock Am Ring later this year!

Latest installment of popular 'Trust Me, I'm a Dr' campaign features the entire KISS lineup

Dr Pepper, the oldest major soft drink in the U.S., is teaming up with legendary rockers KISS as a first-time advertiser during Super Bowl XLIV. The ad will air in the second quarter of the big game and feature Gene Simmons returning as "Dr. Love" in the next evolution of the brand's "Trust Me, I'm a Dr" campaign. Paul Stanley and the entire KISS lineup will join Simmons to describe Dr Pepper Cherry's uniquely smooth taste - achieved with a "kiss" of cherry flavor.

"Being a part of the big game gives us access to nearly 100 million viewers. We're taking this opportunity to reach as many fans as possible to promote our innovative Dr Pepper Cherry flavor and celebrate our 125th Anniversary. This is just the right ad at just the right time," said Tony Jacobs, vice president of marketing for Dr Pepper.

This political cartoon featuring President Alan Garcia of Peru in full KISS make-up appeared in the January 1st edition of the Peruvian newspaper, TROME.

Thanks to Nick Diaz for sending KISSonline the image.

Hi KISS!

I love you guys! I saw you back in October at MSG and of course you were awesome! I'm an art student in NY and I drew a caricature of Paul Stanley and his "Love Gun", and I thought I would share it with you.

Keep kickin butt,

Gibson Guitars recently compiled a list of the best songs to ring in the new year with... and one of them is a KISS classic!

Rockin' Songs To Ring In The New Year!

By Russell Hall

The countdown is on, party plans are in place, and champagne corks will soon be popping around the world. While most partygoers will be swaying to the strains of "Auld Lang Syne," we thought it would be fun to compile a list of rock songs appropriate for ringing in the New Year... as we say goodbye to 2009, hello to 2010.

"Rock and Roll All Nite" - Kiss (1975)

Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley deliberately set out to compose an anthem when they began writing this signature Kiss song, which first appeared on the band's Dressed to Kill album. Stanley first penned the chorus and the melody, and afterwards Simmons wrote the verses.
