describe and your music is out of this world i just wanted to thank
you and say that there will never be a drummer that will do what you
have done and that has given the fans so much
01/30/2008
Peter I LOVE YOU! You are in my dreams every night ever since I saw
you in 1975 in El Paso,TX!!I wish you were here by my side hugging me.
I can't stop listening to ANY of your music. I taught my daughter
everything she knows about KISS and of course all about your amazing
self. Oh Peter, when I see you on t.v. my heart melts! Hope to hear
from you very soon!
your absolute #1 fan

01/25/2008 Thanks!
Hi Peter - just a short e-mail from a fan to say thanks. Thank you for
all the years of rock n' roll and keeping it real. I had the privilege
to meet you and the rest of Kiss a long, long time ago (1974) when you
did a show down in Asbury Park, NJ. It was in a tiny place named the
Sunshine Inn. We made the trip to Asbury and ran into you guys on the
boardwalk.
The way you guys treated fans made us know you were something special
and as teenaged boys, we really looked up to you. You took the time
out to talk to us, sign autographs and so on. I know you don't recall
this, but we do - you guys gave us a phone number and said "hey its
our production company, call it and tell them you saw us here". We
did, and even after the band got bigger, we would call and Rock Steady
would hook us up with kiss buttons, the occasional backstage pass,
posters.
On a return date of yours to Asbury Park, we even climbed up the side
of the Empress Hotel, having seen you guys go in there - stupid kids,
ya know - and we were tapping on the window and someone named Gloria,
possibly your girlfriend or wife? saw us - Instead of having us tossed
out, you invited us in and we watched you guys on ABC's "In Concert".
No one at home much believed we sat in Kiss' hotel room with the band
and watched them on TV, not that we cared much what anyone believed.
No matter how big the band got, you always had time for fans. I don't
think you guys ever forgot what it was like to be that kid in the
first row, singing along, knowing all the words, each chord, and each
drum roll - anyway, I just wanted to let you know about a couple of
days and nights you probably can't even recall but that left an
indelible imprint on a kid's life!
Thanks for all the memories!

Dear Mr. Criss:
First of all it is an honor to talk to you. I had a thrill of meeting
you at the Palms Casino in 2003 and we had a group photo taken. I was
with my mom in her 70's and she said you all made her feel like a
teenager again. Actually, even a photo of her and Gene together made
it onto the Kiss Symphony poster that was in the limited edition set.
I also had a few words with your wife who is very nice.
I had a question for you. I just tonight watched the old Donahue show
and I must say you were spectacular on it. I think it was despicable
what the tabloids and those people put you through. Condolances also
on your mother. My question was do you know what ever happened to the
person that impersonated you? I think he was so wrong in doing what he
did, but actually was more angry at the woman that was on the show
accusing you of other things and bold faced lying. But, after watching
the show, I can't help but wonder if that imposter passed away, did
finally get his life on track, etc.
You are a great man Peter. Not only are my fondest memories growing up
wrapped around your music, you were a God to me then and I admire you
so much now... but, one thing I have learned about Peter Criss is it
isn't about the money, the talk, the fame... to you it is about making
a difference, doing what you like, and most of all what stands out
most is how you feel about family.
I think you are one stand up guy.
Sincerely
Tim Hotchin

I'm 41 yrs old and, I have been a fan of yours and KISS from the
beginning. My first concert was in 79 DYNASTY in Cleveland Ohio. You
guys sold out all 3 nights, I was 12yrs old. My mom took me, my
brother who 7yrs old and my best friend. We sat on the side of the
where Gene stood and it was awesome. New England was the opening act
and it was the greatest time ever. My brother was chosen to sit on the
side of the stage on the cases near Genes stuff was located. He got
sticks from the drummer and you gave him a rose during Beth. It was
such a thrill for all of use. Then we where chosen to go back stage to
meet you guys, we all got passes and everything. So we went down to go
see you before the show and we told that you guys were not ready yet,
and that we would have to go back after the show. That wasn't problem
because just getting to meet you guys was the best thing that could
ever happen to us. We rocked out the show and couldn't wait. Finally
the show was over, we all looked at each other and said here we go. As
we were shown to the back, security came out and told us we couldn't
get back to see you because you already left the building. Talk about
heart broken and a let down, THAT SUCKED. Still a loyal fan and always
will be. I've followed you from the beginning of your leaving KISS in
the 80's. Seen you in Cleveland on your solo tour I was never able to
meet you. Meeting you would be the greatest thing ever. KISS IS NOT
THE SAME WITHOUT YOU. The chemistry you guys have is untouchable. You
have a curtain sound no one can match. You and KISS has been a very
big part of my life in growing up. I thank you so much for the
memories and keep rockin' those drums. Your fan forever, take care of
yourself.
Chuck Dalton

01/12/2008 you touched this father's heart
Peter
I have been a fan since 1975. I saw the real Kiss several times with
friends, then my girlfriend (later my wife) and then on the comeback
tour with my son.
I have met several famous people - Muhammad Ali (I'm a big fan),
Mickey Mantle, Wilt Chamberlain, Ringo Starr, Ace.
But the reason I send this to you is that the highlight of meeting
famous people is the time myself, wife and 8 year old son met you
outside Chicago at a KISS fest before the reunion. We went so far as
to knock on your hotel room door and you came out signed some things
and took a picture with my son, and some some nice things to him. You
touched this father's heart and gave my son a great memory.
thanks and God bless
Steve

was on the Dynasty Tour in 1979.
I want to thank you for releasing One For All. I have enjoyed all of
your albums, but this one really hits the heart. I am looking forward
to future releases and, hopefully, a tour. It would be great to see
you behind the kit again.
Thank you for all the memories and the many more to come in the
future. Have a happy and safe new year!

12/20/2007 Happy Birthday To The Real Catman
Hi Peter,
As a life-long KISS fan, I just wanted to drop you a Happy Birthday
message and hope you have a great day.
Aside from all the great moments you've given us (both in KISS and as
a solo artist), I'd really like to thank you for your honesty in
discussing the current situation that KISS are in using impostors.
Seeing you be willing to say the truth instead of sugar-coating things
out of fear that the current members might feel slighted, or that Gene
& Paul will get angry is really refreshing.
God bless you......and hope to hear more from you in the future. I
really enjoyed "One For All", and am looking forward to your next rock
record.
Hope you have a great day,
Chris Toms River, New Jersey

Hi Peter
I know that this email will never ever reach you, but I have been a
KISS fan since I was about 8 or 9. -I'm 41 today.
I'm living in Denmark and even though I like KISS, I still feel like
the best KISS ever was Paul, Gene, Peter and Ace.
I have just purchased you new CD "One For All"... and I must admit I'm
more into Hard Rock and Metal... but I've always liked your music.
And I really do like your new CD :)
Stay safe... and take good care of your family.
I wish you all the best.
Cheers from Peter Laursen From Denmark
12/20/2007 Happy Birthday Peter!
Just wanted to drop you a quick note -
Happy birthday to a member of the REAL KISS. I've been following you
Ace, Gene and Paul since I was 7 in '76. Once you and Ace left in
80-82, I suddenly 'lost interest' in KISS. When the reunion happened
in '96, I unknowingly picked up right where I left off, and now I
barely care for KISS any more.
I hope you are truly happy in this point of your life, and being a
fellow musician would love to collaborate in song-writing with you one
day. ;)
Take care and have a great day, Bob DeCrescenzo

Dear Peter,
I have been a big fan of yours for many years, you were my favorite

kiss the first time and again the second time.
I know now that nothing lasts forever, but as much as I love kiss
nothing beats having the original four.
Anyway the reason for this e-mail is to wish you a very HAPPY
BIRTHDAY!!! and I wish you all the happiness in the world even if its
not with kiss.
Enjoy your day and God bless you!!!

music for once. "Send In The Clowns" gave me chills! Don't ever listen
to the nay-sayers! Follow your heart!! You are the reason I play music
today and I know I'm just one of the many lives you have touched with
your art. Thank you for making this record. It came along at just the

Dear Mr. Peter Criss,
You are the best drummer in the whole world.I am a drummer myself I am
in the seventh grade band at school and in the band room there is a
nice blue drumset that I always play on. At my house I have a drumset
I play and I am really good at it. One night at my house I put on
black makeup to look like you. My dad went to two of the KISS concerts
and he got a T shirt of KISS on it then he gave it to me and I love
it. I have the first KISSology DVD set it is awesome. My mom isn't
really a KISS fan, but I am your biggest fan ever.I was going to be
Peter Criss for haloween but I don't know where to get a costume at
that is not that exspensive.

Hey Peter,
My name is Kameron and I am a HUGE fan of yours. My favorite rock band
in the world is KISS! You and Ace have meant so much to me. You guys
were the true rockers and it is great to see you in all those classic
concerts on Kissology. I am a musician in a band called "Hardly Gone"
where we mix in a couple KISS classics like Love Gun (my favorite KISS
song) and Detroit Rock City! Let me just say it is an honor to play
those songs that mean so much to me. Thank you for all your years of
wonderful music with KISS. Also, I just wanted to say that I am
obsessed with "One For All". The whole album is amazing especially
"What A Difference A Day Makes" and "Last Night". I can't get enough
of it. Thanks for the new album. Well I just wanted to stop by your
site and let you know what an influence you have been in my musical
life! I really hope to hear from you. Take care and thanks for all the
memories and the music!

show Oct. 31, 1976 and have been a fan since.
I was inspired to play drums after watching you play what seemed to be
that endless set of pearl drums.
I recently watched the newly released kissology 2 and i was saddened
by watching it. I wondered what would kiss had become if you and ace
never left the band. I know that you wanted to go out on your own and
make music for yourself for your own needs, but the magic of what kiss
was is something that no one will ever be able to duplicate.
I wish that the four of you would once again get together and suit up
and give the world a taste of that magic that once was, bring a new
flavor and new outlook of music and rock n roll to end the kiss legend
like true heroes and let past feelings subside, let the kiss spirit
ride off into the sunset with the four original members that gave us
that shock and awh, kiss, we wanted the best, we got the best, but the
best can't be without you.

Hi mister Criss, I'm always listening the same album these days over
and over again and it's you're new solo album "One for all". I've
always LOVE your voice and I can feel that this album is really coming
straight from your heart. The lyrics, the way you sings... man it's
magic! My best song is "Memories", it is an amazing song!!! And it's a
great album cos you're 100% sincere in what you're doing, you're not
doing it for the business and I thank you so much for that. In a
couple of years from today, I will still listening to this album cos
is it so sincere, it touches me straight to the heart, you're voice is
amazing!
thank you mister Criss.
p.s.:
I like Eric Singer a lot as a drummer but when I watched the "Rock The
Nation DVD", sorry but this show has no soul, no spirit. It is a cold
show. But when I watch Kissology 1 shows, man it rocks ! That was the
REAL time, I mean when you guys still has something to prove! You were
hungry! and Peter Criss was the man on the drums back then and no one
can steal that from him, no even a good drummer like Singer!!

Hello Peter,
I bought "One for all" last week and was well surprised of its musical
content. Thank you for sharing some of your personal moments and
meanings of life, all of them being packed into a wonderful, warm
sounding production. Please don't let some of your former bandmates
turn it down as they're having a hard time with themselves.
Oops, I have to log off...-my black cat is begging for some food...
All the best wishes to you and your family, from Germany,
Lutz
P.S.: How about a club tour overseas? Please, you're welcome!

Hey There Peter,
Just a fan here with a few thoughts on the state of Kiss. First off I
came across your site only recently feeling nostalgic with the recent
release of Kissology Vol.2. After hearing your radio interview on your
site, I felt the need to drop you a line and say that I totally agree
that Gene and Paul's treatment of yourself and Ace showed not only a
lack of respect, but also shows how greed and the need for control can
really hurt the ones around you that you care about.
It's ironic how Paul felt that you wouldn't be able to cut it because
of questions about your age/health when Paul himself is dealing with
multiple hip surgery, and recently Gene when under a weight loss plan,
and plastic surgery, of course with Gene everything that goes on in
his TV show could be a money making gimmic, but my point is Gene and
Paul should hardly have been casting stones at you and Ace.
You and Ace should have been more respected by the Kiss organization,
and not so shamelessly casted aside, replaced or treated as secondary
members, Gene may have initially started Lester brought in Paul then
you and Ace, but the four of you together are what made Kiss, without
you and Ace it's just two shameless marketers running a legendary name
into the ground.
Much love, and God Bless you and Ace.

09/18/2007 Subject: You rock!
Dear Mr. Criss,
I have been a Kiss fan since I can remember. Though I wasn't around in
the 70's I did however see you live on the Farewell Tour in Knoxville
Tennessee 4/30/2000. I have fond memories of that show and was
thrilled to hear you sing Black Diamond, which is my favorite vocal
you ever did. I became a Kiss fan before that show, when I was given a
copy of Alive on Cd for Christmas one year. Your drum solo on 100,000
Years, I thought was awesome! You and Ace are my favorite members.
Your guys' contribution on the early Kiss records made the band rock
and give it the balls and the edge that the songs needed. You and Ace
provided the musicianship as well as the show (no disrespect to Paul
or Gene though, I like them as well). I was glad to hear you release
new music this year and that the songs had a maturity and showed an
autobiographical point of view.
Thanks a lot and keep rockin!

09/12/2007 Subject: Great music
Hello Peter!
I hope everything is well with you.
I bought your new album "One for all" last week and it's still in the
CD player of my car! First I didn't know what to think about it, I
know that much about you and your previous albums that I didn't expect
it to be anything like Kiss, but I was still a bit surprised. After
listening to it a couple of times I like it more and more. I didn't
think that this was my kind of music but maybe it's because I'm
getting older (ore more mature as I prefer to say). Thank's for
getting me into this kind of music! One of my favorite songs on the
album is actually "Send in the clowns", first of all you sing it
really well but I also see an ironic symbolism when I think about the
clowns in make up calling themselves Kiss nowadays... I can't wait to
hear your coming Swing and Rock albums I've heard about. Please don't
let us wait for too long! I've also heard that you are becoming a
grand father so I don't blame you if you have more important things to
do right now than recording albums. Congratulations all the way from
Sweden!
Best Regards,
Stefan
Long time fan of you and the original Kiss.

Dont mean to bother ya, but Ive been a Kiss fan since the late 70's

pic of you without you makeup -- and man are you handsome! You should
never of hidden a face like that - WOW!

Take Care,

09/06/2007 Subject: a fan of yours
Dear Peter,
Just wanted you to know how much you have influenced my life. I
started playing the drums at age 12 when I was exposed to KISS Alive
II. (Of course I picked drums as my instrument because I loved cats
and you were the cat! I guess that is the brain of a 12 year old.) But
I am still playing semi-professionally today at age 41!
I wanted to also express that I think it's extremely lame that you are
not playing in the band and that someone else is wearing YOUR
makeup!!! Like I wouldn't know it wasn't you up there on stage! I
refuse to go to any more KISS concerts or buy KISS products if the
original members are not benefiting. I don't care who's idea it was to
originally come up with the idea of KISS. It's not the same anymore
without the original members including ACE. It's just a business not a
band.
Good luck to you and keep rockin'!
