I never in a million years thought it would happen...I'll try to keep this short and simple.
I've been a fan since the age of 5 and finally got the opportunity to meet you last September in Nashville. I am now 31 and have a 21 year old baby sister. Both of us are really into music as a whole. I "introduce" her to some of the "older" stuff and she does the same for me with newer music. A few years ago I got her into KISS and she attended an expo with me in 2002. We somehow convinced Mom to go see KISS last year. It was my sister's first time as well. I told them both that the experience was going to change their opinions on what a live show should be like. I was right!! I also took them with me to your book signing the next day. Now my mom is totally GA-GA over you. She is constantly logging on to your site and we share laughs over some of the letters. Two weeks ago she called to let me know that KISS would be here in July. I work the graveyard shift and don't have a whole lot of time to myself these days (I'll save that for when I make my millions) so now she is the one filling me on all the KISS and Gene news. Last year after the show she told me that she was sorry she didn't listen to me before. She also wishes she had gotten into KISS years before. Just the other day she was saying how much she hopes we can attend an ASSHOLE party. How hilarious is that? So my only question is, will there be an ASSHOLE party in Nashville? If so, what do we have to do to attend?
Thanks for your time and attention,
Lisa, Amanda and Susan (mom)

Response from Gene:

Probably. But, in order to get in, you have to be a real asshole. And, once inside, you might get a certificate of authenticity to certify that you are "..a real asshole." That would come, by the way, from the biggest asshole of all: Me.

Gene,

I remember acouple years back when you "surprised" Ace at his Birthday Bash with a cake. I know Ace was bitter at the time, even though it was a nice gesture on your part to fly out to be there. 

Was that the last time you have seen or spoken with
Ace?

Response from Gene:

Yes.

Dearest Gene, 

My name is Benedict Ellison. I am told that your past life was John The Baptist from the Holy Bible. Can You confirm this information to this E-Mail address within the next 30 days because I will be changing my address. Have You called Jesus Christ before - and are You Now ?

Yours Truly,

Ben

Response from Gene:

Please get some help immediately.

in response to Carmen,

Hi gene

But, then we can't forget nobody, no country worldwide, because every country or nations did something wrong or evil in past.

We, the Dutch people hate the germans, because of 40-45, The people from Indonesia do hate the Dutch people, because we had some serious householdings overthere in the past.
The Belgium people probably hates us for some reason. Israel hate the Palestina's and in reverse. The greeks hate the Turkish. The spanish people hate the Marrocan people, because of Gibraltar.

The Indians did hate all european who now call themselfs "REAL AMERICAN"
But the Indians can't hate anymore, cause there are no Indians anymore.
They're all killed by nowadays REAL AMERICAN PEOPLE.

OK, I know, that you know all about this, but it isn't just for you,
It is for everybody who will try to discus this topic.

Every country has got their story's.
We can only hope that we all learned from our mistakes in the past and make something of it in the future.

Hi Gene,

you said "We had fans flying in from Japan, Australia, Germany and Sweden."

Just for the records: My wife and I flew in from Vienna, Austria, and I can tell you it was worth every cent. We were lucky enough to get a VIA-pass, and we had a great great time.
Thank you!

I thought the Revenge Tour was the absolute best KISS has ever sounded as a band. It had been awhile since I listened to KISS ALIVE III, but was reminded of how tight the sound was. To get to the point, I was wondering if you've ever considered playing "God Gave Rock 'n' Roll to You" in concert (with the current lineup). That song followed by "The Star Spangled Banner" would be a great way to end a show....not to mention the fact it would be a great salute to our Armed Forces.

Ok. We will.

Gene,

My wife and I just bought 5 tickets today to the KISS show in Albuquerque, NM on June 16. We live in the small town of Lordsburg in the Southwest corner of New Mexico and will be traveling 5 hours to see your show. This is all 3 of our kids' first concert ever and we chose KISS to be the experience to remember. We own a local newspaper here in Lordsburg and will be covering the event as a feature to run in our paper.

My wife's daughter, my step-daughter, Brittany's birthday is May 22 and this is part of her birthday present. We are taking my 2 other kids ages 8 and 5. Everyone is excited especially Brittany who has become a HUGE KISS fan ever since moving in with me and my kids. She now has loads of memorabilia, loves to catch anything KISS on the music channels, wears her KISS concert shirt to bed every night as a nightgown and has seen Detroit Rock City about a zillion times! She is always asking me what band members were on which album and why did you take your make-up off and then put it back on. She's totally into the original stuff from the 70's.

She would love nothing more than to be able to meet the band and get a picture. It would be the highlight of her 12 years in existance and would be a memory that would last a lifetime! I know you get thousands to millions of these letters, and millions of fans asking the same question. But how many of your fans are 12 years old and dig the old stuff from the 70's?? She is truly unique.

Thank you for your time and we all can't wait to see you June 16!

Respectfully,

Trent McCalmon & Family

Dear gene,

I am so excited that you are coming to Denver. I'm beside myself. I would like to extend to you an invitation to my house for dinner. I make a really good lasagna and a mean chocolate cake with good frosting bring Paul along :) I'm really not kidding about this. Kiss has help me be the strong person I am today and making you dinner is the best way I can think of to say thank you. If you can't come to me I can come to you have lasagna will travel :) I bet this really sounds silly to you but your the one who said dream big and seeing you in my house is as big of a dream as I can think of. So please consider this dream and help it come true you won't be sorry.

All my love Maureen
