Torpedo Girls thank the UK
[From:
Mike Stone]A big THANK YOU from Germany!
It's Mike Stone writing from Duesseldorf! The german KISS tribute THE TORPEDO GIRLS (www.torpedogirls.de) would like to thank all people in the UK, who supported our england tour in september 2002, and last but not least, all KISS fans and maniacs, who travelled often more than 100 miles to enjoy a Torpedo- show! We believe in KISS rock'n'roll worldwide and are proud to know that the "forgotten songs" like "Tonight you belong to me" or "Flaming youth" are also highly loved in the UK, like in all other countries on earth! We did write a UK tour diary that will be shown during next week on our homepage www.torpedogirls.de , so you will find lots of pictures and comments of all stations where the band made their performance so far. Hope to see you again soon!
Yours,
The Torpedo Girls
A very special KISS tribute

FamilyGuy
The KISS episode of
Fami ly Guy aired last night, but for those that missed it there
will be a second chance to see it:-
Next Sunday (29th) on SKY 1 at 12:30PM.
KISS weren't in it for long, but it was pretty funny,
although Ace & Peter might not be so keen on it. Paul &
Gene both provided the voices
for their characters.
Shadows EdgeMy name is Joey C, I play drums in the band Shadows Edge, I am a life long kiss fan too. Last year we did a show for Eric Carr for the 10 year anniversary. We worked with his sister on it. It went well, maybe you heard about it. Why I am posting this is that we have what we think is a really good band and we are trying to get our music in the UK, maybe someone out there can help us in some way? We have a website that if you have some time you can look at and let me know what you think, there are four songs on it that you can hear. On the news page there is stuff about the Eric Carr show you can look at too. The website is www.shadows-edge.com, you can e-mail me at shadowsedge98@yahoo.com
Thanks for your time, Joey C from Shadows Edge.

Natalie AppletonQ asks: What's the best song ever written?
Natalie Appleton answers: I love Cold Gin by Kiss, but its not really the
lyrics, its just that every time I listen to it I want to get up and dance
and play air guitar . . .
