Kiss!

[ESisback]

I’ve been a fan since 1975. Seen them 7 times. Met Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer—great guys, great players, but Ace was my fave.

How about you?

 

[Hardline]

Been a huge fan of KISS since 1977. The KISS with Peter and Ace is the only KISS I will recognize.

The original is my favorite, but they did a lot of great songs with Bruce Kulick!

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Not a fan of the current lineup, they were a favorite back in the '70s. I still consider hotter than hell their best album. I salute Gene and Paul for keeping the machine rolling all these years but no Ace and no Pete equals no kiss for me

 

[ESisback]

Tommy’s a team player and a nice guy, and he recreates Ace’s sound nicely, but he sure ain’t Ace. Too generic. Eric Singer is actually very skilled, and a great guy. Eric Carr and Bruce Kulick we’re both awesome, and contributed much to Kiss.

That said, the originals were magic. The problem? Four alphas eventually fall out. Add booze and drugs…

love'm.
original line-up is my favorite.
destroyer is still my favorite album...but alive II is close 2nd.
love it when they put their war paint back on.

Kiss just owned the 70's, they were so huge in their heyday. I remember watching that cheesey movie they made as a kid "Kiss Meets Phantom of the Park" in the 70's.

Saw them later a few times in the 80's when they seemed to tour just about everywhere, even small towns in Texas.

Yeah, big time bands really should leave moviemaking to the professionals.

This has been condensed, still extremely funny though. Watched it when it came out and a million times since. Seems like everyone is having fun but Gene

No you're not, you're the trout player

[ESisback]

Yeah, Gene’s a control freak who wanted to maintain that mysterious superhero motif, with ominous comments that played to their characters. He and Paul were serious about what they were doing, and a drunk Ace annoyed the crap out of them. I can actually see both sides, but it WAS funny!

If you watch the full interview there is a part where Ace talks about his hobbies in particular remote controlled toy helicopters made in Germany. Ace started to do something that I won't mention here, and gene told him don't you do it. Other than that ace stole the show

I love Kiss. It pisses me off when people criticize. They were showmen and an important part of the evolution of rock 'n roll. Just a fun band that I was lucky enough to see live.

Not a big fan though I don't mind some of the popular 70's stuff. My older brother loves them. He's seen them multiple times—the first time in the 80's. He came back with a concert shirt and wore that thing out. The sleeves started falling apart, so he cut it into a muscle tee. By the time he retired the shirt, it had gone from black to gray-like color.
