Hey Peter,

your awesome buddy love everything your doing .great to see you came out of the "hazzy" 80s alright and got cleaned up. Im sure you have heard it all before but like so many others i started listening to Kiss when i was 6 by the time i was 7 i was tapping and beating on everything in sight when i was thirteen i bought my firat kit for $25 bucks. Hard to believe that was 32 yrs ago. You were the one who got me started drumming and i still love it and wish i was as good as you.keep swinging boss.

thanks and have a great day, Thane

Dear Mr. Criss,  

To me you will always be the BACKBONE and the HEART of Kiss.  I was blessed to see you eight times in concert here in Chicago.  To watch in awe as you shook the very foundation of every venue that I have seen you at.  I know that you get a lot of fan mail so I will keep this short.  I just wanted to say THANK YOU!!!!! Your music makes the tuff times a little bit easier to deal with now and as I was growing up and it makes the better days Great. Keep your Head Held Up High you are a Great Man with a lot HEART, SPIRIT & LAUGHTER that is inside you. May God Bless you and your Family and I wish you all the BEST in all that you do!!!

Sincerely, Al

Tony - December 2013

Hi Peter!

My name is Tony and I live in Sweden. I started to play the drums almost 31 years ago and I always comeback to you in my way of playing the drums, Because you really got that swing and the drummers of today is too much into sounding like drum machines . I think that your feeling and your groove is something every drummer should listen to when they start playing the drums. I did listen to you in my first years of drumming and even if I play death metal or jazz I always think.. How would Peter Criss do this? And it will alway turn out good in the end of recording sessions when I got that "Peter Criss feeling". I have seen you live a lot of times but I never got a chance to meet you in person but I would like to thank you for all you've done for me and all the fans around the world.

Best regards // Tony

Billie - November 2013

Dear Peter,  You have been my favorite Rock Star for as long as I can remember. My brother whom passed away from cancer around 33 years ago would sing Beth to me when I was a child. It remains to be my favorite song. I got the chance to see Kiss play a while back and some friends of ours opened for them. Beth was sung, I couldn’t move, I think if it would have been you singing I would have passed out right there. My husband got your book for me for Christmas and I have read it all. I think any famous person has the odds stacked up against them. You are my favorite musician and always will be. 

God Bless,  Billie

Peter, On behalf of myself and my girlfriend Michelle I wanted to thank you for being so personable to and with us when we had the chance to spend time with you @ Mad Monster Party in New Orleans on 9/14/13. We drove 6 hours to come see you and it was so worth it! My sister also made the drive and met us there as well. I gave you the drawing that I did of your Rock And Roll Over face with the breast cancer reference in the makeup as well as the cd single for "Hands Of Prayer" the song I wrote and recorded in memory of my grandmother who passed away due to breast cancer so it was an honor for me to share my story with you.

Zuki - October 2013

Met Peter this weekend at Mad Monster Party in New Orleans. My daughter Zuki is 8 months old & after we took our photo she stretched out her arms to go to him. Peter say "I'm great with babies. They love me." & picks her up like she was family all the while continuing to talk about his 6 year old granddaughter & encouraging my 13 year old son to "be somebody." It was fantastic & must've made a real impact on my daughter as you'll see in the video of her singing her heart out to Peter's music this morning. He did not disappoint & was everything I hoped he'd be & more. Thank you for making this life long KISS fan so happy.

Hi Peter,

My name is Dan Gross from New Providence NJ, now in Colorado,your the reason I started playing drums when I was ten way back in 1978, you were my childhood drum hero and I played along with your albums, giant corded headphones and all till my fingers bled, I'd just tape em up and keep playin, cause that's how we roll. I played in bands for years around NJ,NY club circuit for years, now I just play for fun. I never dreamed I'd have the chance to contact you until I stumbled on you website. I want to say THAN YOU!!! You have always had a special place in my heart as my first mentor. After catching up with all you've been up to, I am so proud of you!! You are now, after many years, and many other influences, my number one mentor. I need to hit the skins more often than I do these days, and now I'm going to make the time. I can't tell you how many years I was you for Halloween as a kid using old dog chains and collars for the getup, good times!! Anyway, if your reading this,this is huge for me to write to you, again, I dreamed as a kid of a way to contact you, and now as an adult, with the inner child still alive and kicking, and through your AWSOME website, it's possible. In closing, I could go on but this would become a book, I will be following your website, and hope you come to Denver CO someday.

Love you brother!!! Rock on!! Sincerely Dan G. Littleton CO

Dear Mr Criss,

Hi Peter,

Just finished reading Make up to Break up and really enjoyed it. I have been a fan for a long time , my father was a professional drummer until he was fifty five he loves Krupa too. I played guitar in bands but always missed play the Ludwig dad had set up in my bedroom. You have done some amazingly positive things in your life and you and Ace made me smile and realize my love for Rock n roll ... Thanks Cat man Hope you and Gigi are well. Hope you get down to Australia again someday...

Just wanted to say, I bought your book. Loved it! Life long KISS fan from the 70's and also heard your interview with Eddie Trunk from 2012 and just felt I'd drop you a note to tell how much I appreciate all the music over all the years! Best of luck to you in health, your family and life!

All my best,

Hi Peter!

My 4 year old Adina Rose, one of your smallest fans, wanted to say "Hi" to you. :) She still talks about meeting you last year & talks about you every day!

Thanks for being you, God Bless!!!

Hello Mr. Peter Criss,

I'm Thoralf (46) from Germany. I got your book today. I'm looking forward to reading this book. You can see a picture of me.

I wish you all the best.

Thoralf

I grew up in the seventies with kiss. My brother showed me kiss alive at Woolworth in 1976. Our mother let us get alive and rock n roll over with Columbia house I am a drummer and play pearl drums because of you. Had all the original albums but rock n roll over is my favorite. I am in my forties and glad you know Jesus as your Lord and savior too /you really helped me get through tough times in the seventies as kid in Michigan.

God bless you

Rob

My fav member of the band bro. Always drew u in grade school mid 70s made this in 2003 whitw paint black poster board. When u left kiss was dead to me. Saw u in a reunion tour so life is good that way. Love ya man thanks for the music.

Frankie

Peter, I learned to play drums from hours of playing with your music and I like you am a cancer survivor from twenty five years ago. Thanks for all you do for awareness and for all the great music.

God bless, Matt

It was an honor to meet you and your wife in Charlotte! When I was young I wanted to see you and the band, but I was too young (That being that my parents would not take me). When you were a part of the "Reunion Tours" I was a missionary in S.E. Asia and did not have the chance to see you perform. When I read you were going to be in Charlotte, I was overjoyed. I felt like a kid again when I saw you and was thankful that I could experience it with my wife. Thank you for being so accommodating. It was an experience of a lifetime.

Thank You! - Don & Penny

Hey Peter,

After 35 years of being a devoted KISS fan, it was great to finally meet one of my childhood heroes. Thanks for signing the pic of me and my friends dressed as KISS back in the late 70's. Here's a copy of that pic you asked for as we'll as another that was taken that same day, one of many, many days we all put on the makeup and put on our lip synced concerts in the basement of by best friend's house. Thanks again for being so cool and personable at the signing. It was an honor.

Greg

Hi Peter,

I had a wonderful time meeting you and your lovely wife Gigi today in Chicago! I'm so impressed by how you both took time to talk to me and ask me questions about myself, and I couldn't believe how you kept saying 'thank you' to me. You seemed just as glad to meet me as I was to meet you!  Thank you again for the great experience today. I am a bigger fan than ever!
