I used to collect kiss stuff but I sold most of it. Back in 1999, I was told by my doctor that I have about a year to live and get my personal affairs in order. I had a 4 year old son and a 6 month old daughter so I started to get rid of things. That was over 20 years ago and I'm still alive like the kiss album.
In 1997 my next door neighbor passed away before he did I got the chance to buy nothing but posters from 74 to 83. There was close to thirty of them I got them all for a mere 100 dollars. Unbelievable shape some still rolled and sealed some were in frames.
I grew up on KISS in the 70's. We use to crank up KISS on 8 Track Tape when we were playing in the street. Been a life long fan. I'm VERY impressed with your collection.
Great collection. Thank you for sharing. Seems like a super cool guy….very cool history you both shared. That’s what it’s all about…FUN. Have a good week!
Thanks for sharing your awesome collection. USA has the stuff, Here in Australia there is only limited items. Your collection Rocks . Love it . I thought I had a lot, your collection is next level. Cheers.
I had that guitar as a kid, can remember photos of me in my Gene mask rocking out with it! It was my prize possession, i played it to death and it was repaired by my uncle when i broke the neck and strings and can still see that Kiss graphic in my mind, although mine was pretty faded in the end so awesome to see a new one. Great memories of the best band ever, thanks ❤
An original Bally's pinball machine! FML. Seriously, this is a really impressive Kiss collection. Everything is very well organized and displayed. You can tell he really respects the band and enjoys preserving their legacy.
Absolutely insane collection that's obviously a labor of true KISS love. Love the dedication to your sweet Mom on the curio cabinet. Perfect! The most amazing "museum" ever!
Thanks for the upload. Stunning collection, total dedication to Kisstory memorabilia. KISS for me is 70’s up to Lick it Up. I always regret not getting to see the Original Line Up, full make up with Ace and Chris. My first album was KISS Alive II, it was 2nd hand, just blown away by “God of Thunder” . Several years ago Ace visited a Nowheresville Town not far from me, didn’t know until a couple of days later, one day I will get to meet the great man, and get that solo album signed. Keep up with the great content. Cheers 🏴🇬🇧🤘
There was a rock magazine that came out during the reunion tour and I remember buying it and it was the coolest magazine I had ever bought. It had an embossed Ace Frehley on the cover in the Love Gun costume , and it was real shiny , and I don’t know if someone just picked it up and tossed it or if someone stole it from my house or what happened to it , but I’ve never seen another one since then. It was an awesome magazine about the reunion tour and what made it so collectible was the embossed Ace Frehley picture on the cover. Nothing else really special about it other than that but it was just so cool. 👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️
Insanely awesome collection!! I really enjoyed seeing everything! My dad has practically raised me on Kiss since I was 3 years old or so.. Kiss was always something we could bond over, but eventually as I got older.. I started collecting, learning everything about the band on my own and my knowledge has surpassed his at this point aha.. We've both seen the band live together twice, first time being in 04.. I've noticed most diehard fans have some sort of emotional connection in some sort of way to the band.. For me it was to get closer to my dad as a kid, but grew far beyond that. Now I have my own 7 year old daughter to brainwash on Kiss! Ahah.. Thank you guys for taking the time to share!
Partner she loves your collection she loves kiss went to there concert recently on Tuesday 6th September Brisbane entertainment centre 2022 it was awsome she brought some merchandise 2 tees and a hoodie and tote bag and program book 📖 she also has some other official license tees and figures and cds 💿 and Destroyer Anniversary Edition vinyl gatefold and kiss the best of gatefold vinyl
One thing that i've noticed over the years is that kiss fans are also Star Wars fans! You always see star wars shit mixed in with kiss shit!!!!!!!! I guess the 2 go together. Am I wrong??????
Dude... I seriously hope you have some good insurance!? Outside of Gene Simmons's personal collection, this is probably the next best collection-period. I would take a picture of each and every item, inventory it,put it up for auction, piece by piece... hold a one time,live online,auction (while the iron is hot!!) almost 2024,they just played their very last concert this past weekend... I'm tell'n ya, you could retire, and possibly get a million dollars+!? Who knows!? Idk!?🤷♂️ maybe I'm just being money hungry.... but... if I were collecting for a few decades, you'd definitely have your fill... and at some point, you have to try to get some return, on a long time investment... it's nice to have, and show... but like I said, at some point you have to realize, that collection should be in it's own museum (built especially for it) concrete and steel... no fires!! Whatever you do man... you have the best collection Outside of KISS themselves
Thanks for watching and thank you for the incredible compliments. I do have it insured and I'm in the process of doing a handwritten inventory log. So far, in just the second room, that log is the front and back of 7 notebook pages!!
Wow. So glad I got this link! Simply incredible, Chris.
L.A. KISS football I remember that! Lol. Killer collection!

This was so cool to see. The love gun fountain was a standout to me. So many great things and the hand painted faces on the fan blades are sweet🤘🏼
Awesome collection.

Original KISS, much respect. (except that End of the Road Tour stuff).. Holy Sh#t!! Good job!! What's the reason for the divorce?? Yikes!
Is that his house ?
One thing that i've noticed over the years is that kiss fans are also Star Wars fans!
You always see star wars shit mixed in with kiss shit!!!!!!!! I guess the 2 go together.
Am I wrong??????
Guilty as charged!! Lol. I'm also a Star Wars fan!! Thank you for watching!!
Nice video, but where is his media collection? 8-Tracks, Vinyls, Cassettes, CD's, VHS, DVD's, Laserdiscs, U-matics, Betacam, etc.
They'll need to be a part 2 for all that but it's all there
I think theres only 1 person whos collection is btr and thats Genes hahaha
Thanks for watching!!
