my first KISS concert was the Creatures of the Night Tank Tour 1983 I think. I was like 12 years old maybe. When Paul broke his guitar towards the end of the show and threw it out in the crowd I couldn't see who got it but when the lights came. on I watched a big crowd of people around two dudes yanking the fret board of the guitar from each other. tugging and pushing and fighting until one dude got it and raised it up in a celebration. lots of memories from that concert.

Rock N Roll was so much fun years ago. Few to no rules. Middle finger Rebels ! Today to many rules and few can truly sing and or play. Auto tune computers are widely used. Sucks.

Lol one of the funniest Kiss stories ever.
I know a good magic trick. Get a bunch of candles and go into the bathroom at midnight and put them in a pentagram shape in front of the mirror. Light all of them and look in the mirror. Then take a $50 dollar bill and hold it in your hand. Keep looking at the mirror and say Gene Simmons 3 times.
Gene Simmons will pop out of the mirror and take the $50.

"One Hundred Thousand Years of Man's Unknown History" by Robert Charroux was published in 1971. I think this is the book Gene is referring to. Erich von Däniken was influenced by Charroux but never wrote a book with that title.

Don't think signing off would save you in court . Many companies try and have people sign wavers . Sorry wavers do not supercede statues and law . You can still sue . What they hope for is that you think by signing a waver you've given up your right to sue .

In the 70s(junior high)…a girl in my class went to a Kiss show and Gene spit a massive amount of blood on her very nice and expensive white sweater. She was so enthralled that she swore she would never part with it.
I wonder if she still has it.

My parents used to have a house with a mirrored downstairs bathroom.
Like the ceiling and walls were mirrors and i would drop acid and just sit in there watching my whole body melt away.
Eventually mom would knock on the door and say ‘Michael, are you ok’
and I was like ‘yeh, I’m just fine.”
Good times.
