A local KISS tribute band decided to turn a shipping mix-up into a continuing effort to raise money for the fund set up for the children of Worcester Firefighter Jon D. Davies, who died Dec. 8 in a fire on Arlington Street.
Hundreds of items of memorabilia related to KISS, the longtime arena rockers, litter the pages of eBay, but amid the posters, plaques, and even a 34-year-old combination guitar pick/bloody towel thrown by lead singer Gene Simmons (“USED BLOODY TOWEL from DECEMBER 16TH at MADISON SQUARE GARDEN KISS ALIVE II TOUR,” the description reads), is a brand-new Washburn Iceman guitar, signed by all four members of KISS: Mr. Simmons, Paul Stanley, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer. Bidding had reached $5,400 as of last night.
