Dear KISS, A friend of mine is in the hospital this week fighting blood clots and struggling bad to hang on. She is a life long fan, was on the kiss cruise and is often travelling the midwest to be near KISS. She is the sweetest and most caring girl and to be facing death in your mid 30s is brutal. I know she is facebook friends with all the band and to encourage her I am asking if anyone could say hello to her on facebook and tell her your pulling for her. I assume you get these requests everyday but hope you can see how much it means that a friend would think of you while another friend is struggliong to live. We love you - thanks for anything you can do for Amanda Snow from Cincinnati

Hello KISS! I am a swedish 15 year old boy that has listened to you since I was 7. My Favourite member is Eric, as I'm a drummer myself. I play on a electronic drum kit and I'm very inspired by Eric's playing style. I've seen you live once in Malmo on the 13th June 2010. One of the biggest experience of my life so far. I hope to be able to see you live on the Monster tour. There's also a thing that I'd like to tell Paul: I have met Andreas Carlsson once, when he was at my school talking about his book "Live to win" I love you KISS. You make my life worth living! Jakob Frisk, Vackelsang, Sweden

My nephew, Evan, is a HUGE fan. His entire bedroom is covered with any and every KISS item he can get his hands on. For Halloween last year he asked me if I would help him carve some pumpkins for a contest at school. I didn't even need to ask what the pumpkins were going to look like. Here's the finished product and his First Place Blue Ribbon for Best Pumpkins!!

KISS has been a part of my life since I was in the womb, literally! My mother video taped me singing "Do You Love Me?" at the age of two, and I haven't stopped singing since. KISS inspired me to stand up for myself and never stop chasing my dreams. Today, I tattooed the logo and it's with me for the rest of my life! Thank you guys for the music and the courage to be the young woman I am today. Love from a huge fan in Omaha, Nebraska. -Haley

Back in 1978, I was one of lucky 8000 people to have won tickets to see KISS play at Magic Mountain. May 19, 1978!!! I was 14 and it was my first concert. From that night on, KISS was my favorite band.. John

My Tattoo
Subject: My KISS Tattoo
From: Steve H on 01/28/2012
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
40 years

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.
