Mötley Crüe guitarist John 5 will open his own KISS memorabilia museum to the public this coming May.

Located in Los Angeles, the Knights In Satan Service (KISS) Museum houses more than 2,500 items of memorabilia John 5 has personally collected over the decades.

KISS obsessive John 5 will personally lead the guided tours when they run over four weeks from 5th to 9th May, 12th to 16th May, 19th to 23rd May, and 27th to 30th May.

Unique items on display include the only known pairs of Gene Simmons‘ ‘Destroyer’ boots from 1976 and his first outfit from 1974.

Many of the items are from the gilded KISS era from 1973 to 1983, and this includes banners from the band’s appearance at Woodfield Mall, outside Chicago, in 1974 for the National KISS-Off kissing contest.

Commenting on his museum, John 5 said: “In June 1977, when I was seven years old, my mom took me to Sears where I saw a record store display for KISS’s album ‘Love Gun’.

“I loved monsters and music and begged my mom for the record. Hearing it for the first time was a total epiphany for me. And any time a birthday or Christmas rolled around, I got a new KISS poster or merch.

“Collecting became a huge part of my life. It’s also helped me connect with the world as I’ve found pieces from Argentina to Chile, Taiwan to Japan.”

He continued: “With KISS not touring anymore, the only real place to see this collection and go down memory lane is to come to the museum in Los Angeless. Hang out with me, I’ll answer questions, we’ll talk and I’ll tell stories.”

A guided tour from John 5 at the Knights In Satan Service Museum costs £393, and limited tickets are on sale from his official website now.
