Cobo Hall\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a moment that\u2019s equal parts hilarious and heartwarming, a Kiss fan convention in Detroit back in 1995 took an unexpected turn when a 10-year-old girl grabbed the mic and belted out one of the band\u2019s cheekiest tracks\u2014\u201cLet\u2019s Put the X in Sex.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the band\u2019s Worldwide Convention Tour, the pint-sized rockstar joined Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Bruce Kulick, and Eric Singer on stage for an impromptu, high-energy rendition of the 1988 single. The crowd didn\u2019t quite know what to expect, but she quickly won them over with her fearless delivery and infectious enthusiasm. Every time she hit the line \u201cLove\u2019s like a muscle and you make me wanna flex,\u201d she threw in a triumphant bicep pump, sending the audience into fits of laughter and wild applause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The band, clearly loving every second, backed her with big grins and roaring guitars. While the girl\u2019s name wasn\u2019t mentioned in the footage, Simmons made sure to tell the crowd her age after the performance, capping off the already unforgettable moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That 1995 convention tour was more than just a nostalgic trip\u2014it was a cultural reset for Kiss. After years of distancing themselves from their \u201870s face-painted era, these events let them reconnect with fans through acoustic sets, memorabilia exhibits, and up-close Q&amp;A sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/s3.spanglefish.com\/s\/15149\/pictures\/vbig\/sioux-city-1990-front.jpg\" alt=\"Kiss Alive Bootlegs | Page 22\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reflecting on the conventions, Simmons wrote in Kiss and Make-Up: \u201cWe realized Kiss had become more than music\u2014it was part of people\u2019s lives. We met girls named Beth, teenagers counting down to their own \u2018Christine Sixteen\u2019 moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Detroit stop wasn\u2019t the only memorable one\u2014during the Los Angeles event, founding drummer Peter Criss made a surprise appearance, laying the groundwork for the full-blown original lineup reunion that followed in 1996.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now, nearly 30 years later, Kiss is preparing to revisit that convention magic. This November, they\u2019ll host Kiss Army Storms Vegas\u2014a multi-day fan event at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas featuring a rare \u201cunmasked\u201d performance, celebrity guests, and immersive Kiss experiences. It marks their first time on stage since wrapping up their farewell tour in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And as for that little girl who once rocked a stadium with a grown-up anthem? If she shows up in Vegas, she\u2019ll be rocking it as a 40-year-old woman\u2014proof that Kiss memories really do last a lifetime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a moment that\u2019s equal parts hilarious and heartwarming, a Kiss fan convention in Detroit back in 1995&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":11742,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11741","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-musician"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Wait\u2026 she\u2019s only ten?
