Kris Marcel was completely blown away when he learned the KISS Magazine he receieved from a customer at work had been signed by the entire band.
Marcel is a sales associate at Wentworth Music in Penticton and received the book from the store91裸聊视频檚 long-time customer and local musician Cory Miller. Marcel said Miller knows he is also a musician and they91裸聊视频檝e grown to become friends over the years, which is why he decided to pass on the signed book to someone who would appreciate it.
91裸聊视频淚 went to the KISS concert in Vancouver in January, and I was just talking to him telling him I went and had a great time, it was super cool. My family loves KISS, I91裸聊视频檝e had their postes on my wall since I was a baby,91裸聊视频� said Marcel. 91裸聊视频淪o he told me, 91裸聊视频業 think I have something you might like.91裸聊视频� and then on March 21 he came in and I was kind of busy so he just hands it to me.
91裸聊视频淚 didn91裸聊视频檛 know it had all of the signatures in it, I kind of just thought he had just two of them91裸聊视频� I opened it up on my lunch break and realized every signature is in it, it91裸聊视频檚 so cool.91裸聊视频�

Miller happened to have backstage access to their show the evening he receieved the booklet, and took it upon himself to get each members91裸聊视频� signature in it.
91裸聊视频淚f you go through the book you can see Gene Simmons91裸聊视频� signature91裸聊视频搘hich I think is so cool91裸聊视频揳nd then Paul Stanley91裸聊视频檚. Then when you flip to the back of the book you have Eric Singer and Bruce Kulick,91裸聊视频� said Marcel. 91裸聊视频淚 don91裸聊视频檛 know how he got backstage but he ended up talking to all of the band members and most of them were super cool about giving him their signatures. Then he was talking about Gene Simmons and how he didn91裸聊视频檛 have his.
91裸聊视频淚 guess he said something like, 91裸聊视频榃e91裸聊视频檙e the fans, we pay you guys to do these shows, and we91裸聊视频檙e the one giving you your success.91裸聊视频� and then Gene Simmons heard that and said, 91裸聊视频楽ure, whatever.91裸聊视频� and ended up signing it.91裸聊视频�

91裸聊视频淚 guess you can say I91裸聊视频檓 kind of freaking out about it. My whole life has been dedicated around KISS. I91裸聊视频檓 a musician, I play the same bass91裸聊视频檚 Gene Simmons plays. It91裸聊视频檚 just really cool for me,91裸聊视频� said Marcel.
Although he has not had the signatures authenticated, Marcel said he trusts Miller that they are real and the story that accompanied the gift is true. He said maybe in the future he91裸聊视频檇 try and have it appraised to see its value, but for now he just plans on appreciating the book as is.
91裸聊视频淚 might just get it framed, because it91裸聊视频檚 so cool. My dad definitely wants to see it so I91裸聊视频檓 going to go show it to him. Then I91裸聊视频檒l probably get it framed, may as well,91裸聊视频� said Marcel. 91裸聊视频淚 don91裸聊视频檛 know how I91裸聊视频檓 going to do that, I might have to rip a page out which is kind of scary but we91裸聊视频檒l see what I can do.91裸聊视频�
Marcel did mention that if the band ever heard his story he would more than love to contact them to have them sign it again, with Simmons being possibly more willing the second time around!
