Congrats on the continued success. I saw Ace\'s show in Baltimore and I\'m going to the Nokia Theatre show. To all Kiss fans.
Ace is sober, happy and playing better than ever. His band has a very talented drummer that sings \"Breakout\" and a young bass player & guitar player.
Can\'t wait for you guys to play here.
All The Best

ARMY Puerto Rico
Subject: KISS ARMY Puerto Rico From: Robert Rodriguez on 03/25/2008
My name is Robert Rodriguez (a.k.a. Rob Rodson, lead singer of Metal Roses). I\'m a professor at TASIS Dorado, a private school in Puerto Rico, associated with The American School in Switzerland (TASIS).
Throughout this year, I have taught the freshman course \"History of Contemporary Music\", which goes from the 1920s all the way to the 21st century. During this month, I covered \"Theatrical Rock\", and what better way to exemplify this genre than with KISS!
I\'m very proud to say that the KISS Army gained 32 new members in Dorado, Puerto Rico. Attached you will find pictures from the class project, where, based on the scenario that KISS was going to retire but they were going to hire new musicians to carry on with the KISS name, students had to design their own make-up design. They also had to create a backstory for their characters. To top it all off, the two winning groups had to battle it out, playing \"Detroit Rock City\" on \"Rock Band\".
As a proud member of the KISS Army since 1990, it was an honor to recruit the TASIS Dorado alumni. Gene, keep up the good work and thank you for all the wonderful years!
Keep On Rockin\',
Robert Rodriguez

United States tour
Subject: United States tour From: genesimmonstongue on 03/25/2008
dear kiss,
I\'ve been a fan for 15 years and im 17 years old ha ha. I have one question. Will KISS be coming to the United States after Europe? KISS is the greatest band in the WORLD!!! I have never seen you guys live. Everytime I got a ticket, it was taken away from me, EVEN BURNED!!! Last world tour, i had tickets to Hershey stadium in Pennsylvania, and my mom found out I had them and took them away. I still drove up there, and tried to sneak in, but of course I was caught. Typical Teenage boy trying to see the greatest rock n roll show on the planet! I can\'t even see KISS for this year\'s world tour 2008 because it\'s in Europe. I was just wondering if you all were coming over here then. Many of my friends never saw you before but want to see you perform. Millions of KISS fans are waiting for a USA tour. Thanks for your time, I love you guys!

Wellington, NZ Show
Subject: Wellington, NZ Show From: matthewgiles on 03/25/2008
Just got back to NYC from the Wellington, NZ show. Despite the windy and cold conditions, my girlfriend and I thought the show was fantastic. This was the first time that my girlfriend has seen you guys and was blown away. I had not seen the group since the 2004 RTN tour, and we thought a trip to NZ would be a blast. Seeing KISS with both Alice Cooper and Ozzy was amazing. Musically, the band was tight and sounded great as always. A few technical issues due to the high winds did not deter from a great show. We were not sure if Gene\'s levitation during God of Thunder was due to technical issues or if it was a safety issue due to the winds. I have seen over 30 shows across the globe since 1982 and each time is always a lot of fun. Your undying appreciation for your fans is always reciprocated! Keep Rocking!!

Thanks guys!!
Subject: Thanks guys!! From: Lina - KISS Army Australia on 03/24/2008
Your Australian tour was absolutely awesome, but I wanted to thank you guys so much for taking the time out to appear on Saturday at the special Grand Prix signing. Many fans waited long hours in the heat to meet you & they certainly wernt disappointed. You guys were so gracious & chatted to everyone. Seeing everyone walk away, from adults to children with that special smile on their faces that only you guys could give them is something I will never forget. I had 2 remaining signatures that I needed - Gene & Tommy\'s & then it was straight to a tattooist.
You made alot of people\'s dreams come true that day, and we are forever grateful.

Guys, your Australian tour was awesome. but I wanted to thank you so much for taking the time out to meet some fans at the special signing at the Grand Prix on Saturday.
Many of us waited long hours in the hot sun & we certainly werent disappointed. You were all so gracious & chatted to all of us & we will be forever grateful. I finally had my arm signed with the two remaining signatures I needed - Gene & Tommy. It was straight to a tattooist afterwards to have it permanently with me forever.
Thank you guys for making alot of people\'s dreams come true that day.

Subject: Fan... Since 1975 From: petemaroni on 03/24/2008
Hi boyz\'!
Just a few words from........France!
Next june, 17. 2008, you will be in Paris, and...I\'ll be there, you can be sure!!!
I\'m a KISS fan for now 33 yrs...
I never quite, listening to, loving and... Above all: Supporting you...
Since you came into my life, this one\'s been changed...FOREVER. I mean, at that time, I was 10 (in 1975), and now I\'m 43, and my feelings are just the same... Like at the \"first\" day....
Despite the differentlines-up of KISS, I kept on following you. I don\'t mind WHO was or is in KISS. In my opinion, a fan HAS TO RESPECT YOUR choices...Right ?
Thanx to you, guyz\', I succeeded to LIVE my dream: PLAYING MUSIC... PLAYING R\'N\'Roll...
Some people say: talk is cheap...
I would say: right...
But music & images often speak better than words...
And you proved and still prove it to the world...
Thanx....

Couldn\'t agree more
Subject: Couldn\'t agree more From: domino01 on 03/24/2008
I just read the fan letter from Maja in Denmark and couldn\'t agree more. my name is Michael from Sydney Australia and I too have grown up with all of my friends telling me that kiss suck, that kiss are gay men wearing makeup, that kiss stands for \"keep it simple stupid\" etc
I actually feel sorry for those people because to me Kiss is more than a band, it is a life and without them I probably wouldn\'t be here today. I can go back and listen to various songs and they all have a meaning or relate to things in my life and i love everyone of them. I have met Gene a few times when he was in Sydney for his solo album etc, what a great guy!! i also met Gene, Paul, Bruce & Eric Singer in Denver USA when i travelled there to see the Revenge tour and I was lucky enough to pose in some great photos with them. Tell em what other band are so generous to the fans. Maja, you will enjoy the show, i just watched them in show 3 of the tour in Sydney and they are like a fine wine, getting and sounding better with age. By the way Maja, if you ever get a chance to visit Sydney, Australia, I would like to hang out and talk kiss, kiss, kiss!!

My Army Member Shirt!
Subject: My Kiss Army Member Shirt! From: deansgirl on 03/24/2008
Hi Guys,
Just thought I would post a few pics of my Kiss Army Member Shirt. After you all signed it at the GP, I spent the next day getting as many KISS Fans as possible to sign or write whatever they felt on my shirt!
I have sigs from all over the world on it! Germany, Jersey Channel Islands, Sweden, Canada, New Caledonia, New Zealand and
all States in Australia!
The concert in Melbourne was fantastic. I suffered some mild heat stroke before you played ( i was there all day, ensuring a front row position!) So appreciated how hot you all must have been too.
Thank you for another awesome KISS experience. I have been a fan since 74\'
Have a ball on your world tour and travel safe,
Best Wishes,
Lisa Tasmania, Australia

Thank you KISS so much for coming to New Zealand. The Wellington concert was absolutely incredible. I flew down from Auckland to see it and it was so worth it! Nothing will ever beat it. Please Please Please come back to New Zealand... Maybe to Auckland next time, but wherever it is, I\'ll be there
