This is Edwin from Dordrecht, The Netherlands. He is a KISS fan since 1979 when he heard: "I was made". He started collecting all KISS records and found out what an awesome band it is! In the end of the eighties he wasn't that fanatic anymore about KISS but the feeling came back stronger than ever and he really loved the reunion. He went to see the hero's in Holland twice. He also made my own KISS website: Miyagi's KISSsite Hope KISS comes back next year with a smashing new album and tour!!

This Marcel Potter. He is a fan since 1978. He visited KISS 5 times. He is a Kiss fan since the LOVE GUN/ALIVE II era.

He is 26 years of age and he has a 11 years older brother who had those albums of KISS in that time. He liked the sleeve of LOVE GUN so much that he had to "borrow" the album to listen to it and after that his soul was sold.

Right from the beginning he was an ACE freak because of the song SHOCK ME and it's solo. He still knows he was so dissapointed that he couldn't find another record with a song that Ace sung. Ace made him start playing guitar and now he is playing in a hometown group called the Driefstang.

He works in the Computer Service branch and I live together with a lovely lady, who now follows KISS after she saw the Brussels reunion gig.

Hi Mate,

My name is Patrick Pos. Kiss fan since 1978.

I'm collecting video's and rare items.

My wife married me in 1991, and we got 3 kids Joey Peter, Eric and Jamie Beth.

I saw Kiss in 1980, 83, 84 , 88, 96 and 1997. All line ups are great for me, every era has there own special feeling.

I have a KISS tattoo and the Paul Stanley rose.

The feeling of KISSmania express itself in the song Flaming Youth.

My uniform is leather, and my power is my age. Getting it together....you know what i mean.

The picture is for me unique. My son (Eric) was very sick at that time, and Ace signed a letter to him with" to Eric, get well"

Believe it or not, the little one 6 months old and lying 17 weeks in the hospital. He came out a couple of day's after Ace wrote the letter.

Dreams come true!!

See ya Patrick

This is Jascha Leenhouwers and this is what he wants to tell you:

My name is Jascha Leenhouwers. I was born in Oostburg on 27-8-1971 and I currently live in Wageningen. I work at the Agricultural University as a PhD student in Animal Science after studying Biology at this same university.

My hobbies are listening to music and playing guitar.

I first saw Kiss in 1979 on Dutch TVand I was immediately hooked (on Rock and Roll!!). I saw them in concert for the first time in Tilburg '88 and after that four more times on the Reunion Tour.

My favourite Kiss period is from 1974-1978, including the 4 solo albums, of which I think the Peter Criss album is really underrated. However, every Kiss album after this period has its strong moments. One of the things I admire Kiss for, is that they seem to have the ability to write good songs in different musical styles.

Good examples are the pop rock of Unmasked and the grunge influenced Carnival of Souls. Since a few years I seriously started collecting Kiss vinyl, bootleg CD's, videos and other Kiss collectibles.

I'm looking forward to the Psycho Circus album and tour and I hope Kiss will establish themselves again as the Hottest Band in the World!
