KISS--one of the most influential bands in Rock and Roll

well...i cud see sm kiss fans here....sadly no discussions hav been taking place about the band..




i first heard about them wen i played the video game KISSsycho Circus, based on the comic book by Todd McFarlane, which was itself based on the antics by of the band members...
neway...recently i saw sm clippings frm their massive Alive tour and these dudes kick ass on stage....from spitting blood (fake blood) to breaking guitars....gr8 pyro works....awesome....

 

KISS freakin rule...

Like you, I too got hooked listening to thier Psycho Circus album... it's come to be one of my favorites, especially "Journey of 10,000 years". Apart from that, I've heard practically all of thier great hits, as most of their compilations have got almost the same tracks...

KISS is probably the band to be when it comes to delivering a performance. With rockets shooting out from the guitars, fake blood acts, really whacko uniforms and obviousy, the unique on-stage personas, they kick a$$.

Check them out unmasked on their unplugged tour. Listen to earlier albums like Destroyer and Creatures of The Night...

And did you know? KISS was so expletive (in the ***ual way) and influential in the 70s that they came to be known as Knights In Satan's Service???

Hey, want more KISS? Download any concert of theirs or tune in to Detroit Rock City, a movie based on them (kinda). It airs regularly on HBO.

BTW, Nickelodeon's Son Of A Rockstar... the rockstar is based on Gene Simmons...

 

whoa....nice info there dude.....psycho circus is a kickass album.....i also heard thwir alive tour continues for generations....with each show running housefull....now that is influence....

will chk out the earlier albums

nd if possible chk out the videogame....u get to play as gene simmons...with weapons like a dragon (called draco) perched on his right shoulder and brething fire all the way....now thats hot....




EDIT---gene simmons also showed up as a guest judge for this years american idol...he was as usual doing sm nasty stuff...like digging his nose and applying the mucus (the sticky thing) on the cam......ewwwww

 

ummm aint these the guys who look like sissies on stage?

 

lol..their costumes did look sissy...but i liked the makeup....maybe they were the first ones to wear tht sort of makeup..later used by black/death metal bands....and named as "corpse paint"

Best influential of everything is here.

But the one I saw is different.

 

Whatever... KISS rule.. that's the bottomline...

Yeah.. I guess they did start the corpse paint thing... but, no other band has successfully used this painting strategy to their utmost...

I saw the Idol episode with Gene Simmons... liked it..
He's also appeared on the 70's Show.. as the Demon (his KISS persona)... check out his axe.. I mean, really...

BTW, the 4 KISS personas are: The Demon, The Catman, Starchild and Space Ace

 

i ve seen the 70's show episode...

in the comic book the characters r similar...but they are named differently
Starchild = The Starbearer
The Catman = The Beastking
Space Ace = The Celestial
The Demon is the same

 

KISS INFLUENCED EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY! ....
