Dear Gene,

You may be pleased to hear that the Japanese National Television, NHK, will be broadcasting Young Music Show on Sunday, May 2. That was the special show NHK recorded when Kiss played the Budokan in 1977, a classic. It is said to be a remastered digital version. The timing, right before your tour, on National TV, is perfect!

More about that show's trivia, next to Genesimmons.com's French version:

Gene,

First of all, I wantyou to know that I am a die-hard fan!  I have bought every 8-track, cassette, album, and cd.  I just recently retired from the United States Air Force after 23 years of faithful service, and has preached the word of KISS to friends and fellow airman, soldiers, sailors and marines around the world. I know you are a busy man.......but just wanted to say thanks for all the years of rock!  You helped me get through some tough times while I was stationed around the world.  Because I always had my KISS music with me.....there was always a piece of home with me, no matter where I went.

Regards
Larry Rodriquez

You have posted half a dozen letters from me on your website. I co-created Kissopoly.(Insert laughter here.) I always thought I would be the hero to my 14-year-old son but he now has a "girlfriend" and plays guitar with his friends as opposed to hanging out with dad. My girlfriend dumped me because I read Playboy. And, of course, I'm one of the biggest assholes on Earth. Will it be posted, when you're in or around Missouri, for the opportunity to attend one of your "Asshole Gatherings"? There's a slight chance I may not be eligible because, to be honest, I'm not really an asshole. I'm a dick. Ask anyone.

Still love the site!

Hey Bad Boy,

You were in the previews for "Third Watch" but, not on the show this week. We will all have to be patient until next week to see that BAD ASS character you play.
Nevertheless the show was cool. Henry Winkler and Kate Jackson were special guests and were great. Looking forward to next week.
By the way, there aresome great fotos on Wireimage.com of your "Asshole Party", check them out!

Sincerely yours,
Ginny

Dear Gene,

I thought I'd send you a few pictures from a show I went to a show at Don Hills here in NYC that you had advertised on your site. KISS tribute band, KISSNATION, had a bunch of chicks fronting the band singing KISS songs. You would have gotten a kick out of it and these chicks could really sing!

I'm curious....have you ever been to see a KISS tribute band play?

Looking forward to the Rock the nation tour!
Rock on Gene!

Sonny

Thank you Gene .

Had a really great time at your 1st ASSHOLE party. BEAUTIFUL women, great music and a great location. I haven`t been there since before the great Bill Gazzari passed. It looked great ! Loved the ice sculpture. Shannon was very nice and accomodating, too.

I had a really good laugh.. The media wanted to interview me, and off camera asked " Would you like to say a few words for Gene Simmons?" I said " Who, that ASSHOLE?!" There was stone faced silence !... When somebody accidentally bumped into me  I used the `ole " What`re you some kinda ASSHOLE?" The response was delayed, but it was all smiles. I don`t think they grabbed the concept right away.  Anyway, I had a good laugh.

I still never got a chance to speak to you for very long. That is quite understandable, cause you`re the biggest ASSHOLE on earth !



Thank again,
Michael

Response from Gene:

Correct. NOW you're gettin' it.
