Recently, I was honored and delighted to be invited by Keefy of the amazing Ghost Cult Magazine to join a cavalcade of Metal journalist luminaries from around the globe for a lively roundtable on the final shows ever from KISS (which took place this past weekend at NYC’s Madison Square Garden)! In this hour-long video, we debated whether  the KISS farewell tour was a successful or a controversial exit. Was it a perfect ending to an iconic band, or did they go too far?

This Limited Edition KISS Pez Collectors Edition Pack, featuring the band members from 2002 to the  present — Gene and Paul plus drummer Eric Singer and guitarist Tommy Thayer — is owned by my pal Teddy. Like any good collector, Teddy has never removed the guys from the safety of their original collectible storage tin, which was apparently first released in 2012. Folks who bought this new and took good care of it (i.e. never opened it) are currently selling these for about $49 via various Amazon listings! Lick it up!

Here’s a fun item that I spotted at the recent National Stationery Show / New York Now Gift Show: Officially Licensed Kiss Rollerball Pens! Kiss‘ bassist and mouthpiece Gene Simmons may be an arrogant blowhard, but he also really knows audience. The Kiss Army of fans are nothing if not a fiercely loyal legion who will purchase virtually anything that has the Kiss name it. And now at last the time of the Official Kiss Pen has come!

Rock Poster

This design is called the Rock Poster!

1978 Model

This one is called 1978!

Kiss Pen Holder

Each pen comes with its own colorful case, to keep it safe and in pristine condition between uses! Please take note that the Spaceman character is fully represented by both guitarists Ace Frehley and Tommy Thayer!

And since these pens and accessories are all officially licensed, you can enjoy them with no fear of litigation! Find a retailer in your area at This Link!

Kiss Rocks Vegas

Hey what’s up. Do you happen to be a fan of the legendary rock band Kiss? It’s OK to admit it. Even though Gene Simmons is the Donald Trump of Rock, there are no judgments here. But if that is the case, then you may want to know that for one night only, Wednesday, May 25th at 7:00 PM, Fathom Events will bring KISS to the big screen for an explosive event in KISS Rocks Vegas, a live concert film that no fan will want to miss.
