Summary

Chris Jericho tours guitarist John 5’s private KISS Museum, an undisclosed location housing some 5,000 pieces of memorabilia — all from KISS’s legendary makeup era (1973–1983). From Gene Simmons’ original Destroyer boots and Paul Stanley’s “Hotter Than Hell” belt to Ace Frehley’s silver cape, Peter Criss’ green fur and actual hair, and rare international merchandise, John 5 reveals the stories behind the treasured items in one of the most incredible KISS collections ever assembled. Filmed on location at John 5’s actual museum, you’ll hear (and see on YouTube) some serious KISStory, and the unbelievable detective work that goes into preserving KISS’s legacy — including the original Alive! bass drum head rescued from a Michigan flood, the fragile “KISS Scream Machine” cups, Halloween masks from the 1975 Tour, rare Japanese cassette box sets with collector binoculars, promotional record-store displays, MEGO dolls, original ticket stubs and tour itineraries, and the first-ever handmade KISS t-shirt!
