KISS PHOTOS
(from Chad)
Hello Kiss fans!
This is just a small sample of the photos I was lucky enough to get on the Farewell tour this year. They are a mixture from a few different shows, Chicago IL, Madison WI, Rockford IL, and Milwaukee WI. The shows have all been amazing this year, it's very sad to see them go, but they are going out on top of the game for sure! I hope you enjoy viewing the photos as much as I did taking them. E-mail me with any questions! Kiss 4-ever!

THE LAST KISS SHOW.... SO FAR
(from Susan)
I just visited your massive KISS photo gallery site and I was IMPRESSED with the content of photos that you garnered for the creation of this wonderful site.  I live in North Charleston, South Carolina, USA, and went to the Grand Finale, the last show ever in the US and I thought I had died and went to Heaven.  I had a straight shot view of the stage and they had hoisted up three big screens to let the audience get close ups of each band member (mine is Gene Simmons) and to reflect what was going on in the 9,000, people who went to the concert.  They even had a video that they showed reflecting back over the 27 years KISS existed playing during one of the songs they played. 
Well, I have to run.  It's approacing 4 a.m. where I live and I need to go to
bed.  One last thing, why don't you try to round up some photos of Gene's two kids and Shannon Tweed along with Paul Stanley's family, his wife Pamela Bowen, and their son.   I mean Nicholas and Sophie look just like Gene and Paul's son looks like him. That was just a thought. Take care and keep up the wonderful work.

GENE ON THE RADIO
Gene Simmons recently gave an interview for a radio-station, where he was asked about all the rumours concerning Kiss. But as expected he only gave the usual answers: He "never heard" about the rumour about Peter and Ace leaving the band, Kiss will just take a rest now before they will play Japan and Australia and Europe. At the end they will return for one or two final shows in the US, but it is not decided yet when and where they are going to be. All in all he didn't give any real news. You can hear the interview at http://www.eddietrunk.com/interviews/
