How long have you been a KISS fan for, what was the first KISS record you heard? The first KISS record was ALIVE! I was 9 years old and the thing I remember most was sitting there looking through the booklet while I listened and I was just completely blown away!! The bombs, the blood, the fire, the music...I was never the same again! I have been a KISS fan for 35 years and counting.
What was the first bit of KISS merchandise you bought? My grandmother bought me HOTTER THAN HELL from a department store called Stuarts.

What is your favourite piece you own, and which is the most rarest? I would say my favorite is the Pinball machine. The rarest...maybe the 1979 Vanity Fair record player still in the box. I was told it was a prototype and there were only two made. Not sure if this is true, any info would be greatly appreciated! (It has since come to light that this is a bootleg item - but very cool all the same! - Ed)
What KISS rarity would you most like to add to your collection? The Tiger KISS Phono in the box or the toy guitar still in the box.
What do your family or partner think of your obsession? My immediate family loves it...my girlfriend on the other hand...thinks I'm nutz!!
