Damn right. I was listening to them in like 5th grade, my favorite. I moved on once the Mighty Van Halen came to be, but still love some KISS. The HOF is a joke. It's a joke that KISS took this long to get in. It's a joke that Van Halen wasn't a first-ballot HOF-er, but Green Day was? It's a joke that Judas Priest is just now getting in, and not even as a performer. Maiden still isn't in. Boston isn't in. Ozzy isn't in as a solo act, but Ringo Starr is, just because he was a Beatle, and Stevie Nicks is as a solo act? LOL I can go on and on, but the HOF is dead wrong. KISS should have been in on their first ballot.

When I was a teenager, I was in foster homes. I loved Kiss. I was originally from New York and my real parents worked in hospitals in the Bronx. So I knew the area. From a fan mag, I found out that Ace grew up in the Bronx by the Grande Concourse. So, not knowing any better, I called information and asked for the phone # of Frehley. They had no number but they had an address that was Aces mother's name. I wrote her a letter - fan sort of stuff like did Ace leave any things there that you could send me; etc. But then I had the bright idea to ask her about herself. I taped a dime to the letter and said that that was so she could send me a picture of herself. I thought this might help to get a response. Well, I sent it then forgot all about it. Then one day I got this envelope that had Frehley as a return address. She was very sweet and thanked me for the dime and she sent me a xeroxed copy of a pic taken at parents night at Madison Square Garden with the rest of the band. She told me that Aces things were not in her home anymore. She said that Ace would stay inside and practice all the time while all the other kids were outside playing. She said if I worked real hard I could be great, to. That letter meant a great deal to me under the circumstances and I still remember it. I saw this video and remember what it was to be a Kiss fan. An outcast but you felt strongly about them. People acted like you were crazy for liking them. But you listened to the first Alive album like it was a holy relic. I thought I would share this story for the first time on here. Where I thought some people could appreciate it. Rock and Roll all night and treat yourself like #1.

As an original member of the Kiss Army I can say Tom nailed it. That's what being a Kiss fan was all about in the 70s. We were different because we chose to be different. As Paul said, we followed our own path and embraced the grief that came with it. We were the living spirit of REAL rock and roll awash in a sea of DISCO and pop and soft rock. Like Tom, my first concert was Kiss in the mid 70s and to this day it is the single most impactful, thrilling, unforgettable live evet I have ever attended. The spirit of Kiss will never die.

My uncle took me to my first concert ever, a month after I turned 12 yrs. old in the summer of 1977. It was KISS and Cheap Trick, on the "Love Gun" tour.I still have the ticket stub - $7.50 Canadian.I have seen hundreds of shows since, and that show is still in my top 5

My favorite band ever and a HUGE thank you to Tom Morella introduction. When I was young boy I was picked on and beaten up for being a KISS fan. His speech brought tears to my eyes and I was so happy that after all the years of being overlooked, KISS has finally made it into the Rock and Roll HOF. They have done things no other band has ever done and have never gotten the praise they've deserved. KISS is the greatest American Rock band of all time. They and The Eagles are 1 and 1A. BEST INTRODUCTION EVER!
