Gene Simmons Art Work!

We visited Animazing Gallery to see Gene Simmons Art Work in real life for the very first time, while we were in Las Vegas for the KISS Kruise Land Locked In Vegas event!

They had a few pieces on display like Skull Candy, it's individually cut out, presented and suspended in a shadow box frame, it was one of our favorites.

Also Immortal is a cool piece that we liked very much.
The Yourney is an ink on paper piece and the it's double sided with another drawing on the back.

Also The Power And The Beauty is a double sided ink on paper piece aswell.
Each art work is hand signed and numbered by Gene!
It was amazing to finally see some of Gene's Art Work for real.
Maybe someday we own one of his pieces...

KISS World: KISSing Booth!

When we visited KISS World to see Gene Simmons Private KISS Collection and playing KISS Mini Golf, during our stay in Sin City for the KISS Kruise Land Locked In Vegas event, we had to get a photo of us in the famous KISSing Booth!
It was used during the End Of The Road World Tour in the venues, but unfortunately not during their Euopean legs...

KISS World: Gene Simmons Private KISS Collection!

When we visited KISS World: Mini Golf while we were in Las Vegas for the KISS Kruise Land Locked In Vegas event, what was definitely on our list was to visit Gene Simmons Private KISS Collection!

First we got a look at all the gold and platinum records hanging on the walls, there were so many records that we took quite some time looking at them.
Also the motor cycle in KISS design was cool to see and the life size Demon figure was so great.
Then we stepped into Gene’s domain and as big KISS collectors it was like heaven to us. We didn’t know where to look first, merchandise was all over the place. We looked into every glass showcase, each shelf and on top of them. So many items are displayed.
There are several showcases filled with KISS Hello Kitty items, we have some of these in our own collection, but we had no idea that so much existed!
One case had several city keys that the band had been awarded over the years. It was such a thrill for us to be there. We saw a lot of items that we’ve in our own KISS collection and said to each other, we have these figures, lunchboxes, masks or busts too.


But there were a lot of items we never saw before, because these are custom made items by fans and given to him through all those years and Gene kept everything! When we were looking into one of the showcases we saw to our big surprise our mug on one of the shelves!
We gave that mug personally to him during our Gene Simmons Vault Experience in Amsterdam in 2018!!! We couldn't believe it when we saw it there in his collection!
On the mug, under the GSVE design, you can see our weblog name/url. We were totally flabbergasted by it! It was unreal to us that Gene kept our gift! This was for us our highlight of the museum!
Next up was for us to get into Gene’s Destroyer Boots and get behind the desk.
These boots are really heavy and I knew it would be hard to walk or stand in them, because I wore them once before when we visited the Mini Golf in 2014 when we attended some KISS Rocks Vegas shows.

We couldn’t get enough of the collection and we know for sure that every KISS item that has been released, Gene has it in his personal collection! Next to the 7” singles, tourpasses, coffee, plush dolls, glasses, you see Gene’s stage outfits, personal guitarbasses and his sword that he used on stage when he was breathing fire.

Your eyes don't know where to look because there is so much on display in the showcases, even if you've looked inside and look again the second time, you'll see something new. We stayed at the museum for hours and even the staff were surprised that we were still there.
Here's our video that give you a look into Gene's museum:

As we said before, as KISS collectors ourselves, we can't get enough of looking at all of this and taking it all in.
Part 1: many photos of Gene Simmons Private KISS Collection:

Part 2: more photos of his collection:

We had such a fantastic time there and if they had offered us a job at KISS World, we would have said yes, lol…

KISS World: The Music From The Elder Door!

During our visit at KISS World in Las Vegas, we had to take a picture with the (Music From The Elder) Door!

If we only knew what was behind this door...

Happy Birthday To Peter Criss!

A happy birthday to Peter Criss, the original Catman who turnes 80th years today!

KISS World: Mini Golf!

When we were in Las Vegas for the KISS Kruise Land Locked In Vegas we also visited the KISS World: Mini Golf. The last time we visited it was in 2014 across the Hard Rock Hotel, but now it is located in the Rio hotel.

The first thing we saw when we arrived was the VW beetle with the big “Gene” tongue at the entrance.

There was also a KISS arcade and a gift shop that we would check out later.
When we got our golf clubs and balls we started our KISS glow in the dark golf adventure.
The golf play field was big and every teeing ground had a KISS design.

Such as big guitars, drums, boots, icons and more.
Also there were big wall decorations which told the KISStory.

We enjoyed playing and the vibe and we had a lot of fun playing golf there, as we did in 2014.
It wouldn't cost us any effort to play golf there every day.
See our video:

See more photos:

It was now time to check out the gift shop, which was smaller than the one they had at their previous location. They sold KISS (mini golf) T-shirts, casino chips, mugs, shot glasses, golf balls and more.
They had a lot of photos hanging on the wall and a special Ace Frehley tribute plaque. We bought some items, a T-shirt and KISS golf balls.

We also checked out the Rock ‘N Roll Wedding Chapel.
Here are some more photos from the KISS gift shop:

We had a great day.
