KISS showed once again that they don't just have stars and stripes painted on their faces -- but on their hearts too.

Before their encore Saturday night (Sept. 30) at the Gretna Heritage Festival in Louisiana, the classic rock band requested the audience join them in a display of U.S. patriotism by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.

"It's always cool to love your country," frontman Paul Stanley said, according to a report.

Saw them back in 77, I think. Didn’t want to go but my younger brother begged me to drive him to the old Chicago Stadium. Told him I would if he got me a ticket. Well, he did so I did.

They were great.

Gene and Paul especially Gene have always leaned to the right.

I was never a fan, but Gene in particular is a very bright, patriotic American. I’m glad to see that Paul is, too.

"KISS made everyone do the pledge of allegiance before they would do an encore. That was the least rock and roll thing I've ever seen."

It's the most RnR thing I've ever seen. USA is a country founded by rebels with guns who fought and won their freedom from one of the most powerful nations on earth at the time. Any rocker worth his salt is pro-American.

Simmons immigrated to this country from Israel when he was eight. Like most legal immigrants he appreciates his adopted home country.

Gene Simmons is a MAJOR US patriot. He loves his mother, he loves his country. He has issues with the country as do most of us, but like us he works to make it better as he sees it.

Never cared for them or their music but my wife and I have the utmost respect for them for their respect of our country which has given them such opportunity and made them rich beyond their wildest dreams.

May they come to know the Lord Jesus Christ who can save their souls and give them eternal riches and His joy and peace.

Interesting.

What does the (National) socialist workers party have in common with communism? Almost everything. Antifa is either stupid or trying to pull the wool over peoples eyes. Nazis and commies are cousins of tyranny and evil.

Bravo KISS !!!!!
Time to go out and buy a few of their albums to get them some extra royalties.

Boycott the NFL and buy KISS albums!
Vote with your pocketbooks my friends.

Gene Simmons has such an interesting life. He’s made quite a few pro-American statements in the past. I am pro-Simmons and pro-Israel.
Thank you Gene and KISS
