KISS KOLLECTOR MAGAZINES No. 16-19 UPDATED OCTOBER 23, 2004
The KISS Kollector Magazines of 1996. The year that the reunion tour a.k.a. the KISS Alive/Worldwide '96-97 tour kicked off and became the most succesful tour of that very year grossing $34.6 million. The accoustic album MTV Unplugged and the compilation album You Wanted The Best, You Got The Best!! were released. Also the year that the fanclub organized trips for its members to several reunion concerts, and the band put out its own KISSnation magazine. KISS closed that year's MTV Video Music Awards with an exploding performance under the Brooklyn Bridge
