As a lifelong Kiss fan, (Well, 45 of 51 years.) My jaw is on the floor. Amazing collection!

Pretty cool collection! "I think KISS has all your money now" 😁

Drum kit is the crown jewel for me.

Oh My Lord...Brother that is Amazing..well done collecting all these and hope you get so much enjoyment out of them ..Cheers from Down Under. 🤘

That's not nice, records are what most of the world can afford, when someone has millions of dollars, of course that can have a collection like this.

Phenomenal.!! Even though it's priceless. I can't even fathom an estimate $$.. congratulations!!

That is amazing Gino! A museum in the making! Hard to believe it's over.

That Is Incredible!!!! God Bless You Gino!!! My Hero! KISS RULES!!! ⚡️🎸⚡️

Now that is one impressive collection!! Just magnificent!!!

Thanks for sharing, Gino. All the best !!!

Amazing... thanks for the video. It brought back memories of seeing KISS play those guitars. You ROCK!!

Nice collection! Time for you to make the KISStory Museum! Tell Gene Simmons you want a 50% percent cut too! 🤟🏾😎

Hope you have that room insured for hundreds of thousands because it looks like that stuff is worth that or way more, not to mention the incredible sentimental value of all that stuff. Some of those guitars I have never seen and I have been a fan since the 70's

This is absolutely incredible. Nice work and Im happy you have that for yourself!

Holy geeze !!! Huge collection. Very nice Gino !!!

Very nice, I have a few you don’t have. The 1st original ps 10. Paul’s stage played ps800 and a ps 2000 blue burst. A original bc rich punisher. I had them all but just keep what I play. Thanks for showing

Nice collection and house to keep it in-you can tell you have a lot of extra$-Do you know KISS personally to acquire such special KISS items or just that $ can get you all you want? Also where is ERIC CARS Ludwig drum kit? way better than Peter’s Pear kit Maybe if I was in my teens early 20’s I would want this- now I’m 52 and happy to have KISS posters and other items Congratulations on your amazing collection 😁👍🏼

The axe bass on the 0:59 mark on the video, is that the original bass Gene had before he had Jackson make his Axe bass in the 80s or was that one of his Jackson Axe basses? Also why no E string? 😭😭😭 Love the collection, I always wanted to at least have a Gene Simmons Axe bass.

What kind of bass is that , its the last one you see there up there In the beginning of this video, the first things you see are like four bases and the one at the very end. That's black is that a g&L bass or Or something like an ernie ball bass. I didn't know that base was part of the collection. I've never seen gene playing anything like that. Obviously I'm sure some of these are replicas and not ones that they've actually played. I don't know you tell me i'm just wondering. Awesome collection

The Axe bass, the "stage-played" ones with the split headstock, were built by Kramer Guitars in the early 80s. The Valdez was a prototype, used a few times for photoshoots etc. I noticed that the bass you have isn't signed, and has a slightly different shape to the "blade" than the original 80s version. I have two letters from Kramer about the Axe, which give the production numbers of the ones available to the public (not very many at all) ; I own a guitar-version from 1980. Is your bass possibly one of the ones that Ed Roman had the rights to duplicate, many years ago? After Kramer, Gene switched to a Jackson-built model that was less "neck-heavy" than the aluminum-necked Kramer version. If I recall, BC Rich made the first version of the Punisher, and the Punisher headstock design has remained with all the Axes since then. An original Kramer Axe bass sold on Ebay recently for about $7k, with a beat-up case. Yours has a cover over the bridge/tailpiece, which I don't recall seeing on the 80s ones. That's my personal "Holy Grail", to get an original 80s Kramer Axe bass to go with my guitar-version. Maybe one day 😂 BUT.....damn, sir....you have an awesome collection! More KISS guitars than KISS has! Very beautiful indeed!

Is that a remake of peter's honeycomb pearl kitt or is that the real deal. With fiber glass. I thought that was his best sounding drum set. And what about the symbols are those original or those Just once you put on the kit. And I assume all these guitars And bass guitars are really from kiss.. You must have some serious spending money good lord. Hey more power to you that is amazing. Long live kiss 70s, that is.

But do you play music? Not big into collecting instruments except for those i play. Have quite a few basses and guitars but none are signature models. My wife bought a Signature Kieth Urban Guitar from QVC and my Mother in Law bought several. Not too bad but not good. Both of them set them in a closet. Though i will say one thing though. I wouldnt mind having a BC Rich Punisher bass in PJ pickups though because of Gene Simmons. And it just looks bad ass. And balanced. But then again i am not a FANatic. Just sayin'.
