Devised and created by two lifelong rock and heavy metal devotees and colouring book fans, Rock N’ Roll Colouring was formed by fans for fans. Every effort has gone into making sure this book does justice to the legendary artwork of KISS and is printed on high quality paper in the UK.

Colouring has positive benefits including mindfulness, relaxation and increased focus and can be enjoyed by any age group. These books provide hours of creative and restful activity that combines the love of the music with the love of the art.

The KISS book follows on from the previous official Rock N’ Roll Colouring titles from Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, Motörhead, Judas Priest, Megadeth and Cannibal Corpse.

There was a KISS reference on BBC's Richard Osman's House of Games earlier today. It was from the "Is it Spaniel Craig?" round where the 1st answer rhymes with the 1st word of the 2nd.

There's also been a few KISS questions on the latest season of Never Mind The Buzzcocks.

Not sure about the mirrored image though...

Toyah Willcox & Robert Fripp have recorded another KISS related Sunday Lunch, this time it's their version of Lick It Up! 2 years ago they recorded an I Was Made For Lovin' You video which can still be found on their feed.

Thanks to Darren Wells for the info.

It's 10 years since the KISS residency in Las Vegas closed. Such a great show in an amazing city. If you stayed in Hard Rock you were treated to KISS cocktails, cookies, door keys & 'do not disturb' signs!

KISS have a great new fan curated KISS playlist available on Spotify & YouTube, the first one has been created by Matt Porter of THE KISS ROOM. Full details can be found below!

From KISS:
First Official Fan-curated KISS Playlist is Live!
The Hidden Hits Playlist is an official KISS playlist curated by fans, where a dedicated fan is given the chance to select songs from the legendary KISS catalog and create their own personalized playlist. This approach of allowing fans to curate official playlists is intended to be a recurring initiative.

The first curator is Matt Porter, one of the most well-known KISS fans out there. As the founder of THE KISS ROOM—a podcast, Facebook group, and community—Matt is deeply embedded in the KISS fanbase.

Now, Matt has been given a fun challenge: to create an official fan-curated KISS playlist. His selection showcases KISS tracks that he feels deserve more recognition—songs he loves that aren’t played often enough, and ones that should have been hits.

The playlist is live on Spotify and YouTube now!
