KISS fans -

Check out Tim McPhate's excellent interview with graphic artist and illustrator David Edward Byrd as he details the "hellacious" experience of creating the interlocking solo album murals!

"...the mural thing was just hellacious. I think they called me on Friday and they had to have all four murals done by Monday."

The article contains the fantastic sketches that lead to the creation of the solo album mural, plus some never used artwork!

Autographs:  cool or crazy?

KISS fans,

QUESTION for you:

Do you have any KISS autographs?  Do you think that getting an autograph from a celebrity is cool or crazy?

This morning, Gene tweeted the photo at left with the text "A photo of who is outside of every hotel. And they always know exactly what time we leave. Fans? EBay sales?"

What do YOU think?

Post your thoughts here in the COMMENTS section or on THE KISS ROOM Facebook page!   Let me hear ya!
Have a great weekend, friends.

Do you have any items signed by the members of KISS?  Did you meet them or did you buy the autograph from eBay?  What does the autograph mean to you?  Just curious.

the greatest FANS of the greatest BAND!

7/24/2013

7/24/2013 - 

Okay KISS fans, this is posted pretty much just for me. 

Near the end of the July edition of THE KISS ROOM, you heard us talking about "The Ultimate KISS fan" contest.  July 24, 2009... a great day for me as my video was chosen as a winner in the contest.

I know... totally geeky, but it was a thrill for me.  My video was featured on KISS Online and 
I connected with so many cool KISS fans thru this contest.  Plus I was able to meet the band and see them twice in 2009.
And, like I say in the video, KISS fans really are the greatest.  I received a ton of great feedback from other fans who liked my video and "got it".  Comments like "Congratulations! It is so well deserved! You are such an awesome fan... and represent all of us with such a great spirit... Rock On" or "Great. This video speaks volumes."  Very cool.
Sure, there were one or two numbnuts who posted stuff like "I guess they aren't looking for REAL fans" grumble grumble grumble but seriously, the bad sports were VERY FEW, a testament to how cool KISS fans can be even in the age of the internet.  You know what I'm talking about.  So ANYway... sure, it was just a contest, but it was a cool moment for me and I am just sharing it with you... again... all of these years later.  Yeah, Yeah Yeah.  
Much love to all of my KISS friends.  - Matt

ENTER NOW... oh wait... the deadline was 34 years ago...

7/21/2013

0 Comments

 
Old -school KISS fans, here's a question.
 
Did YOU enter this contest?  The deadline was August 30, 1979.  This photo is from the album insert found in DYNASTY.

You had to "take a photograph of yourself made up as your favorite KISS member ALONGSIDE KISS' PINBALL MACHINE.  The more outrageous the better."

They gave away a pinball machine, tons of KISS Kollectables, t-shirts, and more!

It would be so cool, thru the magic of the Internet, to find the person who won!

Was it YOU?

Let me know.
Picture
The original 1979 Bally KISS pinball machine is easily one of the most coveted and sought after KISS Kollectables.

Check out this cool video, produced by Todd Tuckey from TNT Amusements, and learn how to play the KISS pinball machine! 

If YOU won the DYNASTY contest, or you have a pic of yourself with YOUR KISS pinball machine, send us a message at
