Ahead of their final Australian tour this November, we're taking one last walk through the glitz, glam and guitar-based glory of KISS.
 
Words by Peter Hodgson / Australian Guitar
 
It’s a bittersweet time for KISS fans. The band are coming back to Australia one last time as they sweep around the world on their farewell tour, and it’s their biggest, most bombastic tour yet. Truly going out on top.
 
Guitarist Tommy Thayer has been an important part of KISS onstage since joining the band in 2002, although he’d been in their orbit for almost a decade before then – including working as as a researcher for the KISStory book, producer of film and video releases, and guitar coach for when Ace Frehley rejoined the band.

Ultimate KISS ARMY Experience gets you closer than ever to KISS

Special VIP tour offers much more than a typical meet-and-greet

By Alan K. Stout / musiconthemenu.blogspot.com

Imagine that you are a KISS fan and that you have been so for many years. You’ve got all of the band’s albums and, within the KISS Army, you see yourself as a five-star general. You’ve got at least 20 ticket stubs from their concerts, and though it might be a bit hard to squeeze into it these days, you’ve still got your concert t-shirt from your very first KISS show. You’ve also got a sizable collection of KISS collectables, and you might even joke that when it comes to KISS trivia, you know more about the band than even Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley.  

But … have you ever actually walked on the KISS stage? Stood right before their mic-stands? Have you ever held Gene Simmons' bass or Paul Stanley’s guitar? Sat behind Eric Singer’s drum kit? Peeked inside Tommy Thayer’s traveling guitar case? Held Gene’s torch, into which he breathes fire? Tried on Paul’s platforms and Gene’s dragon boots? Hung out with KISS in a relaxed setting before the show, where not only can you get a professionally-taken photo of you with the band, but you can also mingle with the group and take some fun selfies.

Probably not.        

Well, OK … definitely not.
