KISS' official web site has been updated with the following message regarding the first official KISS store, KissWorld, set to open in Melbourne, Australia in early 2005:

"We are starting to add on more KISS collectibles exclusive to KissWorld and few rarer are Paul Stanley's actual played on stage guitars from the Farewell Tour 2000/2001!! We have secured 6 of these direct from Paul and they come with signed certificates of authenticity and even detail of which city on the tour the guitar was used — there are even guitar picks still clinging to these! These are top-of-the-line Washburn Paul Stanley models and at this time, there are only 6 available so check them out.

"One of the most highly anticipated products that we have been preparing has been some cool items signed by none other than Vinnie Vincent! The survey page on the website showed many of you wanted Vinnie memorabilia — you wanted it — you got it! We spent some time with Vinnie back in August and he has kindly signed a stunning lithograph of himself live on stage during the Creatures of the Night 10th Anniversary Tour in full make up and costume. He has signed this lithograph in gold to match his Ankh make up design. This lithograph is numbered and limited to only 200 worldwide and is on top quality acid-free archival paper and is a heavy 300gsm in weight. This will look amazing framed and Vinnie's autograph is hard to come by with plenty of fakes out there. Come over to the website to see a photo of Vinnie taken after signing these items for us — this is the real deal! We also had Vinnie sign 4 different black and white 8x10's as well — 2 in make up and 2 out of makeup from his KISS time 1982-1984. There are only 100 of each of these 8x10's and like the lithograph they all come with a Certificate of Authenticity. If you are a fan of Vinnie's you wont want to miss these items and they are available NOW — and all are exclusive to KissWorld.

"Twenty years ago, 'Animalize' came out and was a return to platinum form for the band. With a new guitarist Mark St John, the band had a smash with 'Heaven's On Fire'. As everyone knows the tour started in the U.K. with Bruce Kulick filling in on guitar and ultimately becoming a full time member of the band later that year. 1984 — where has the time gone?! KissWorld has 100 promotional publicity black and white 8x10s of KISS from 1984 featuring Mark St John, hand signed by Mark available now and also 100 publicity promotional black and white 8x10s of KISS featuring Bruce Kulick, handsigned by Bruce available NOW on the website. Bruce has also given us a stunning full colour 8x10 of himself from the 'Revenge' era that he has signed exclusively for us — and there are only 50 of these available. All signed product sold through KissWorld comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and you can see photos of Bruce and Mark signing for KissWorld on the site.

"For those who missed out on the 'Kiss Symphony' lithograph or couldn't afford them when they were released, KissWorld has picked up a handful of these and they are available now on the website. They WERE retailing for $995 but are only $595 through KissWorld. These are very limited so get in early to avoid disappointment.

"Don't forget that the 2005 KISS Calendars are ON SALE NOW. These have been hugely successful and since they started shipping a couple of weeks ago, seems that the fans really love them! The 4 solo calendars come complete with a full-size reproduction of the 1978 solo album mural posters that came with the US pressings of the albums way back then. The group calendar is jammed full of the original line up with a couple featuring Tommy and Eric and they are all available now, don't forget the solo calendars are a limited print run, so don't delay! These are KissWorld-designed products!"

*****************************************

I cant even believe what whores Kiss are, fancy trying to sell lithographs for $995 and then trying to make out they are cutting the price FOR YOU, down to $545. Go to www.kissworld.com.au and have a look at the prices, a lithograph signed by Paul, Gene and two imposters is $495! Fuck Kiss. Right in the arse, thats disgraceful.

Though the signed 8x10s of Gene, Vinnie and Gene are $95 each then the ones of Eric and Tommy are only $60. Vinne, who hasnt been in Kiss in about 20 years is worth more than a drummer who has probably been in the band longer than Peter Criss :lol:

The store sounds pretty cool though :)
 
$12595 for a guitar Paul Stanley played on the farewell tour in 2000/2001 :lol:

This is the funniest website since Strongbad!
 
:headbang:

I would hardly call Eric Singer an imposter by the way...

But anyway I reckon the store sounds awesome and I can't wait till it opens! I heard rumours that it was opening at Chadstone Shopping Centre, I hope so coz that's 5 minutes from me!

The Vinnie shit sounds awesome!!!!
 
Oh and by the way, those Paul Stanley Washburns probably cost $4000-5000 new anyway, and that model I think are out of print now, so $12000 for one actually used by Paul Stanley isn't that bad.
 
I wonder how much they could charge for one the Paul Stanley broke... I can just imagine some Kiss fan paying thousands for it :lol:
 
They get thrown out to the crowd so they wouldn't have them lol. Though at one of the shows this year they were a bit disappointed with the crowd I think and he didn't even throw it out. :( And that was the one I was right up the front and could have caught half!
 
I wonder if they will sell any Vinnie Vincent Invasion, Frehley's Comet, Criss, White Tiger, Black N Blue and other KISS related bands? They should have a stand for albums that Gene Simmons produced or bands he managed like Keel, Black N Blue, EZO, Silent Rage, Gypsy Rose, House Of Lords, Doro, etc... fuck he had some good bands associated with him!!
 
I think its only Kiss stuff. There is no WAY it will survive past 6 months, unless they have the entire inventory up for sale on the web.
 
I read in the paper yesterday that a guy sold a nutri grain cereal bit that looked like E.T for over $1200 on eBay... So in comparisson.... This is not as bad as it seems!

Not all of it, the site only has a few bits and pieces at the moment. Still, it will close after 6 months anyway when 90% of their sales after the first month are online and they work out they can just throw it all in a warehouse and sell it online that way.
