82nd Airborne Division Band
The 82nd Airborne Division Band's Rock Band, RISERBURN, performed for an appearance at the Fort Bragg North Post Exchange by the co-founder and bass player of the rock band KISS, Gene Simmons. Simmons' appearance coincided with the release of a line of fragrances named after the 1970's Supergroup.
Upon his arrival in a green Army HMMWV, Simmons jumped onstage, grabbed SSG Jim Donahue's bass and joined Riserburn for a rendition of the KISS anthem 'Shout It Out Loud'. He then proceeded into the PX to sign autographs and have pictures taken with the hundreds of Kiss fans who started lining up hours before for the opportunity to meet the rocker.
