Japan KISS Fan Expo Report From: KISSOnline The first day of the 2007 Japan KISS Fan Expo took place today in Tokyo as Japanese (and a few Australian) KISS fans gathered together to celebrate KISS. The Expo featured special guests Bob Kulick, Nate Morton (PAUL STANLEY Solo Band), Fran Stuart (Paul’s Guitar Tech) and Michael Norton (MARK ST. JOHN’s Brother). For the first few hours fans shopped for KISS Collectibles and visited with the special guests - who signed autographs and took photos with all who attended. Next up were Q&A sessions with Nate, Fran and Bob, which focused on working with Mr. Stanley. Bob also spoke about his work with KISS over the years. A touching tribute to MARK ST. JOHN followed, featuring a talk with Michael and a video/audio presentation that included photos of Mark throughout his life. The Expo ended with live performances from Japanese KISS tribute band KISS DOLLS and an Expo only Band featuring Bob (lead guitar), Fran (rhythm & lead vocals), Michael (bass) and Nate (drums). Appropriately enough, the band’s scorching set included only PAUL STANLEY written songs from both KISS and his 1978 Solo Album! Thanks to all of the fans who stopped by the KISSONLINE table to say hello – it was great to see all of our old friends and KOL supporters! Thanks to Hiro Shiga for taking these photos for us today! |
