Response from Gene:
No. Don't know who Sammy is. And the rest is untrue.
Gene,
This is a weird e-mail to write. My father passed away today, the dearest person in my life. As I was driving away from the hospital, 'We Are One' came onto my IPOD. It was perfect. KISS' music has always spoke to me and when I really needed it, there it was on a random shuffle. Thank you for everything that you have given from a musical perspective. I needed that right at that time and there it was. It was magic and I cannot possibly put into words what that meant. Thanks again!!!

Hi Gene,
I saw somebody looking like you in Charlevoix, Quebec, Canada. Did you go skiing in this region last month (december) ?

Response from Gene:
No. Not me. But, he must have been a good lookin', son of a B.
I have a business plan that would for sure, with Mr. Simmons help would generate millions of dollars per year in the beginning and tens of millions after 5 yrs. Is he accepting business plans at this time?
Regards
John Fisher
Response from Gene:
No. Proposals without a large check attached don't work for my business model. But, good luck. And stop guaranteeing things. You can't guarantee anything.
Dear Gene,
I just wanted to say thank you for all that you do for our troops. My cousin Sgt Andrew Drummond is in the Army and has served three tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. He was recently sent to Germany but would like to be in Iraq again doing his duty.
During his first tour, he was severely injured when an RPG hit his five-ton and it landed on top of him. He suffered eight broken bones and a punctured lung. Incredibly, he doesn't want to wear his Purple Heart because in his mind he didn't 'earn it' by taking direct fire.
While recovering he taught on the rifle range at Ft. Bragg but went back to Iraq because he felt he wasn't doing enough.
He went back a third time to keep a man with a young family from having to go. He being single and feeling that he had less to risk.
He was a sniper with over 185 kills to his credit and he is now an intelligence scout.
He often comments that the media doesn't report the truth about the war and that celebrities dog their efforts.
That's why it's so great to see you supporting our troops 110%. It means the world, not only to them, but to the military families that love them so much. During your visit on the show to Camp Pendleton and at your roast, I was crying because I could see the deep appreciation that you feel for our troops and it's great that you express that. Thanks so much for all your efforts.
God bless you Gene!
Thanks again,

Gene,
I just finished reading Lydia Criss's book. Have you had a chance to read through it? She contradicts some of the stories that I have read and you have written about.
So, which version is true?
Elwyn
Response from Gene:
I stand by every word I said. Then and now. When I first started telling fans what it was really like over 20 years ago, I was drawn and quartered. In time, the truth came out. Ultimately, it's all not very important. You see, in the end, you get to sleep in the bed you make. No excuses.
Dear Gene,
You, being a business man know the rules of supply and demand real well. So, seeing how there is a demand for a U.S. KISS tour. Why is there no supply?
your fan,
Jay
Response from Gene:
It will come. But not when you want it to. Only when we're ready. Thanks.
Dear Gene,
Sexy am I,
Give me a fucking record deal then.
Love Mark
P.S. How is the Mrs?
Response from Gene:
1. Love your style. The "Sexy Am I" bit is a good song idea...very Yoda.
2. No. No record deal.
3. There is no Mrs. I'm not married. Never been married and have no plans of getting married.
