Hey Peter,

As a fan since 1975, I never thought I would be officiating a wedding in your make-up.. Well, on Halloween 2009 that's what I did I officiated my first wedding in your catman make-up.. I have sent two pictures, one of me and the groom, and the other just of me, just thought you might like to check them out..

Hi Peter,

Thought you might like this photo of me and my good friend Shelley from the recent 1st Annual LA KISS Expo. Shelley lives in New Jersey and we had a great time meeting and talking to all the KISS fans that came out. People were taking photos of me and asking about Peter Criss all day long. It was a really fun day and I take great pride portraying you at these events. Glad to hear you're doing well!!

Thanks,
Steve

Dear Peter Criss,

My name is Sean Parauka and I live in Orange, CT. I have been a KISS fan for 8 years and the band has changed my life forever. I worship the music you and the rest of the guys have created over the years. You've alwaysbeen my favorite and I have enjoyed the pleasure of owning all of your solo material. Every year for Halloween, I dress as you and this year, I completed the costume and wanted to share the photos with you. I dressed like this for the KISS concert @ Mohegan Sun, October 3rd. I missed seeing you, and hope that you'll do some solo shows, maybe with Ace in the near future. I wish you and your lovely wife, Gigi the best of all of your future endeavors. Keep rockin, Catman! You'll always be loved by the KISS Army!!

Your Fan for Life,
Sean Parauka

Hi Peter,

I'm a big fan of yours and the band from the very beginning back in the 70's. You guys have come to Greensboro, NC several times and I've been there to see the original Kiss each time. No other formation of Kiss, But Kiss with Peter and Ace. I've always liked your 1977 solo album, especially "Hooked on Rock n Roll". Great groove and horns. As a local drummer, I attended the concerts in true Kiss spirit...Here's a few pics. Think I'll fix a drink, put your solo album on the turntable and enjoy......Then maybe some Tony Bennett.

Take care and God Bless......Michael, Burlington, NC

Hi

I'm 34 and became a fan when I was in grade school about in 1983. I went to a friends home and we would take his brother LP of kiss and play them for hours and one day I ran home and told my folks, I want to play the drums and I'll not play the piano and my folks said why , I told them "like the Cat " and to get to it I did get to play drums and yes Peter Criss lead the way for me .

Hey Peter!

My name is Paul Mattei, I am 52 years old and have been a fan since early 1975. My friend and I were introduced to Kiss through an article in Circus Magazine. Hotter Than Hell had just come out. My friend bought the first album and I bought Hotter than Hell. We became big fans, saw Kiss on the “Alive” tour in early ’76 in Minneapolis and then a year latter in Duluth, Minnesota for the “Rock and Roll Over” tour. In recent years I have had fun introducing some of these early albums to my two boys. God bless!!

Sincerely,

Paul Mattei
Minneapolis, Minnesota

Thanks Peter

P.S This is me with The Peter Criss Solo Album, I got for my sweet 16 Birthday party. Also im born on April 27th, same day as Ace!

Matt/Aug/2009

Peter,

My name is Matt Baldwin and I've listened to KISS since I was 8, I'm now 33. I've seen KISS 14 times with and without the make-up, with liking each time equally as much as the next. However, one thing that just really blows my mind is that fact that in 2000 was the announcement of the "Farewell Tour" it's now 2009, not that I would EVER get bored or tired of listening or seeing KISS, but I do believe what started with the ORIGINAL four FOUNDING members should end that way. Kudos and thank you on the new album, "ONE FOR ALL", it rocks as did "LET ME ROCK YOU", "OUT OF CONTROL" and "CRISS CAT 1"! I find it quite insulting that KISS should try to pass off the CAT and SPACE-ACE make-up with Singer and Thayer . Anyway to quote one of your song titles on "OUT OF CONTROL" to you my friend, "There's Nothing Better Than You"!

Take Care and God Bless

Those of us who know YOU'RE the one and ONLY CAT,

Matt

Chris/Aug/2009

First...not to kiss your ass or anything like that, but I have to honestly say that you are the main reason I started playing drums. I owe ALL my musical aptitude and abilities to my Mother and her influences on me during my childhood. But I became a drummer because I heard you. The solo on the 1st Alive album is something that is as strong and fresh to me as it was when I actually had the vinyl LP.

That was a lot of years ago...and I have been playing since I started. Never made it even close to "stardom"...probably never will. But I have enjoyed expressing myself behind a kit and on stage for many years now...and it is something that I am passing on to my son who is already "drumming" on things around the house at age 2.

I owe you a great deal of gratitude. Because I heard and later saw you, my life was changed and your influence continues in my family to this very day. Thanxxx brother...take care of yourself. Oh yea...DW's do have a great sound don't they ?

Forever A Fan...

Chris

Anthony (and daughter)/July/2009

my 4 year-old daughter recently saw kiss for the first time on american idol this year and became instantly obsessed. the irony is that ive been a fan since i was 3 and have been going to kiss shows since i was 5. i was gonna wait a few more years before introducing her to my favorite band, but now i dont have to. anyway, peter criss is her favorite member. for her fifth birthday party, we hired a face painter, and she asked the woman to paint her face like peter criss. attached is a picture of her and i. as you can see, she insisted that daddy get his face painted as well.

getting her to let us remove the make-up that night was a nightmare. she was literally running through the house at 9pm yelling, "i wanna be peter criss forever!"

Hay Peter what's up?

Im a freaking huge fan of yours! you are one of the few drummers who inspired me to go out and buy me self a Kit it’s a small black peace. with the standards' Me and some mates have started a tribute band of KISS we have called our self's PASH haha

Any way best to be of

Rock and roll!
Matt

Dear Peter,

Michael/April/2009

Peter,

Words can't express the joy that you're music has brought to my life. It has been the soundtrack to my life for the last 29 years and for that I thank you.

Music heals and I truly believe that. I listen to many different genres depending on my mood but yours is one that I turn to when I need a lift or just a taste of "home cooking". Quite simply put, your music takes me home. Home to a place of familiarity, memories of my youth and now middle age. Here is a picture that my mom took of me in 1979. I was 6 years old and doing my darnest to look like my favorite drummer.

God bless you and your family, Peter. Thanks for inspiriring me to pick up drum sticks.

One 4 all,
Michael Millette

Steve/Mar/2009

Hi Peter,

Thought you might like this photo of me and my Ace Frehley friend taken this year at NAMM in Anaheim. We were swamped with KISS fans taking photos and visiting with us all day long. At one point, even some of the artists signing autographs at the booths stopped what they were doing and complimented us on our makeup and outfits as we walked by!! The biggest compliment though, happened during the first hour we were there. We caused such a stir with all the photos being taken that a NAMM official came over to us and checked our badges to make sure we weren't the real Ace and Peter!!

Thanks,
Steve

Katelyn/Jan/2009

Hi, Peter, my daughter is a real big fan of yours, she's seven years old, she refers to you as " The Catman " when she first saw KISS without the make up she argued with me, and said that this wasn't KISS a friend of mine laughed and told his wife my daughter can almost sing every Kiss song, take care.

Rick and Katelyn.

Jason/Feb/2009

Hey Peter,

Must say ive been a fan since I was 13, and you have influenced me in becoming the best drummer I possibly can. I live in Adelaide Australia where all my friends growing up were into Kiss but I have followed your career all the way along. Keep it up and hopefully one day you will come back to Australia

Forever a fan,

Jason

Tanya/Jan/2009

Peter,

I just want to thank you. My name is Tanya and I'm 21. I was introduced to KISS when I was 10. I had never played drums before I heard you, but after that there was no stopping me. In 6th grade I joined percussion in middle school band and, of course, I was the only girl. By my senior year of high school I had my own drum line, and I have you to thank for that. I also played set for my church praise band for 4 years. There is so much more that I want to say, but I know that I won't be able to find the words to adequately explain just how much you've inspired me through the years. My best friend met you in an airport at the beginning of the year and he's still kicking himself for letting his phone die that morning because he couldn't call me so that I could talk to you. If I ever do meet you though, I don't want an autograph or a picture, I just want to give you a hug to thank you.

A couple of months ago, my friend wanted to get another tattoo and she wanted me to get my first one. I knew immediately that I wanted something that would commemorate you. I want to explain to my future children and grandchildren just how you changed my life. I'm attaching a picture of it and I'd love to know what you think.

Thank you again, Peter, for everything.

~Tanya~
