Today i opened an old shoe-box and found a few photos i’ve taken of my heroes in november 1982, when i was only 16 years old.

KISS was performing ” I Love It Loud” voor tv-show Toppop in Hilversum, The Netherlands.

Me and maybe 50 other fans from the dutch Kiss-Army were allowed to witness them lip sync-ing the song a couple of times, and interact with them for about an hour and a half !! There’s even part of it on KISSOLOGY 2.

I was sitting front row (because i was one of the youngest and smallest out there in the studio).

It made a lasting impression on me.

Got the autographs and some guitar pics.

The guys were really nice, especially Eric!

Off course at the time there were no digital camera’s and i only had my pocket camera with me so the quality is kinda poor, but i’ve never shared these with anyone.

Maybe you could put the on the site for other fans to enjoy!
