KISS Laid Bare will be shown again on Scuzz TV on Sunday 25th Oct. For those that missed it last week this is well worth seeing, it's an hour long chat with Paul & Gene and reminded me a lot of KISS Xtreme Close Up. They even talk about Vinnie suing them (or at least trying to!). Thanks to Nick for the info.

Daniel Hill has just sent me a report of his recent trip to see KISS at Madison Square Garden. This wasn't any old trip though, Daniel has done his research and tracked down loads of places that have their mark in KISStory. His report is well worth looking at!
