Rock School ! What a great show Gene! KISS ARMY AUSTRALIA is alive and kicking! I couldn’t believe how many people have come up to me and said to me that Gene guy is a cool dude! Many of those people who said that to me used to make fun of me when I was growing up because I loved KISS! Well there you go Gene!
You did it again & made all your fans in Australia proud once again!

Dearest Gene,

This is not a question, merely a comment...
I just saw "Mind of Mencia" last night and it was wonderful to see you and listen to that FABULOUSLY sexy vioce of yours!
The skit was great but you weren't on long enough :(
Great job though!

Yours Always,

Hey Gene!!!

Yo. waz up my man?? lol im just kiddin! but im a lifelong KISS fan(12 years..lol), and been to 2 concerts, both in Kansas City. But this morning i was watchin VH1 and the Backstreet Boys came on with their video "Just Want You to Know" from their album Never Gone. But in the video this kid was daydreaming about being a rockstar, and he and his "band members" started doing the "Deuce dance". Then there was another kid that looked almost exactly like Bruce and he tried to do your tongue routine. Does KISS know about this and are you guys OK with it, or am I just being really defensive??

LOVE YA!!!!!

me! :)

Response from Gene:

No problem. It's all good.

Dear Gene,

Oh my God, ROCK SCHOOL is the best thing that I have seen on TV in ages!!! It is brilliant. It is nice to see that you have ruffled some feathers. Those poor kids, shut out from the great world that is rock. I must say that I think that Rods would have been a good lead singer, but I trust your instincts and hope the Emperor can do the job (for himself and for the band). Can wait for the next instalment.

Luv Iggy

Hello Gene,

I found this book review at this site - in the book the writer compares his ex-girlfriends to members of KISS they most resemle - make me chuckle.

Fan for life,

" Midway through Chuck Klosterman's latest book, Killing Yourself to Live, the rock writer is 16 days into a two-and-a-half-week road trip when he finds himself organizing all the females in his life into the members of KISS they most resemble. A woman named Diane is Gene Simmons ("She's all about the bottom line. She demands attention"); another named Quincy is Ace Frehley ("Stoned, cool, and the personality I secretly want to be"); and an actress he briefly dated is post-Peter Criss drummer Eric Carr. "

Hi.

I personally want to thank you for coming up with the idea for "My Dad the Rock Star". It's original, entertaining, and sometimes even funny. I've heard that the first two volumes of DVDs will be released in the USA in September and December, respectively. I'll be gettin' 'em, one way or another.

Sincerely,

Beau McClelland

Hi Gene,

Just wanted to let you know that Rock School Premiered on Channel Ten here in Australia last night. I'm a big fan (of KISS) and to be honest was rather indifferent about this show during it's build-up over the last few months. I sat down in front of the telly last night with my wife and her sister (who's visiting us from Brunei)......and you know what, we ALL had a great laugh!
Seeing the "Emperor" singing along to Crazy Crazy Nights gave me goose bumps and reminded me of the boy I was nearly 20 years ago listening to and believing the lyrics to that song were mine :)
Looking forward to next week's episode!
Take care,
Paul Arangio

TO MY WONDERFUL AND GREATEST IDOL,
GENE SIMMONS.

Hello,Gene!

my name's Tatiana,I'm 20 years old and I'm from Brazil.Last year,I was the first person in the world to wish you "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" (but you may not remeber that 'cause I'm just one of the millions of fans who loves you.I consider myself your greatest fan,though.).
However,choosing a special gift for a person like you is somethig very complicated-of course that I'd love to be your birthday gift BUT,unfortunately,I live too far from you and I don't know if you would like to have me.....-because you've got everything you want and nothing material is good enough to be given to you (you deserve the very best of the very best).
Since the beginnig of this year I've been looking for something different and special,so I tried to do something you've never had or seen before.Then,I did (everything BY HAND) and created your own MONEY.I created every detail with my heart and soul (there are lots of things to be seen there).I didn't use any computer or photos to do it.I painted it all in a traditional way and it took me about five months to get to this result.Everybody says that I should study Art.......
I did it because I love,eat,drink,breathe and dream of KISS and of you every day of my life (my greatest dream is meeting you).And ,to me,you're much more important than any president or commander.To me you are the KING OF THE WORLD,you deserve everything that's good not only on August 25th but every day of your life.
So,that's the way I found to show you that I care and love you.I'd love to know if you liked or not-your opinion is very important for me 'cause I devoted myself to do it and I did it thinking of you.So,please,please,please...tell me if you liked or not....'cause I'm starting to work on a "KISS bill" with your face in make up(it'll be red),so that's the reason why I'd like to know what you thought of it.Please,tell me if you can.
Well,that's all.I know it's not the best birthday gift in the world but,anyhow,I do hope you like it(I did it especially for you).
From a person who loves you a lot,your greatest fan who's sending you hot KISSes all over your body,
TATI
P.S:Just a piece of advice:DON'T SPEND EVERYTHING ON CANDIES,BOY!(I'm just kidding ,baby).I'll be waiting for your answer and I do hope you can answer me.

Gene,

Just watched the first episode of ROCK SCHOOL on Channel Ten last night here in Australia. Great show!

The looks on those kids faces when you first walked into the classroom was absolutely priceless! The kids watching the SECOND COMING video - that's exactly how I taught my niece and nephew about KISS! From the time they could walk they would sit and watch KISS videos with me. By the time they were five, KISS was a house-hold name. Nothing like a classical education, huh?

My only disapointment about the show is the 30 minute format. You only just get into the show, then it's over! But then again, less is more. Right?
