| I started to listen to Kiss in 1978 . I collect all of their records till 1986. I ended up selling them in 86' for a buck a piece. What a dumb shit I was. They have always put their heart in their shows and could touch all ages . |

I must agree with you Freeze, they are mainly just a good rock-n-roll band.
That said, being a fan since the ripe age of ten (1975 Destroyer) and having
seen them a half dozen times, you know what your going to get when you see
them live. One helluva SHOW! As musicians they leave something to be desired
but as showmen they are near the top. Just my opinion

| I'm a relatively new KISS fan and yes the starter of this thread. I discovered them close to maybe 4 years ago thanks to a now ex work colleague and I like the majority of their albums. I love Psycho Circus, both the track and the album. I also like Rock and Roll Over, Love Gun and Hot in The Shade. I wasn't around to see KISS in the 70's and to be honest still haven't seen them even the last tour as I live in Africa, can't afford to travel and can't see them coming down here. |

I actually liked Carnival of Souls very much, it showed KISS evolving ... I think it was a big mistake to go backwareds and put the make up back on. Im sure it was only for money. They should have kept Bruce and Eric and continued to make good music instead. Now they are just sad old men ... Psycho Circus was an okay KISS album, but to see them again in make up was idiotic, that belonged in the 70's and 80's ... And to get Ace and Peter back, what a fuck up ...
Ive been a KISS fan since 1976 so its not that I don't like KIss, but you have to agree that Paul is the only true musician today. Gene just wanna be rich and famous (nothing new there) |

my fav. albums are CREATURES OF THE NIGHT & LICK IT UP.......they were both very good.
Crazy nights also has a couple of good songs in it. ASYLUM was horrible(apart from the song ' Tears are falling' which is the best KISS song ever) |

Easily the best post classic era Kiss. And the most heavy. Love that album

A sad fact of many Kiss's 80's albums. Gene was in Hollywood trying to become a movie star.
Apart from Creatures Of The Night, Lick It Up and Revenge, I'm not exactly bowled over from the post "classic era" Kiss. There are a few good songs on Psycho Circus, but for me the real Kiss is the likes of Destroyer, Hotter Than Hell, Love Gun etc.
And I hate the way that Gene constantly slags Ace. I mean this is from someone who has released one of the worst ever albums - Asshole

| KISS was the 1st rock band I got into thanks to my older brother--I was duped by my parents into beleiving that there was only gospel & country music but my bro taaught me differently --1 perfect night I had was seeing all 4 original members together at Hershey park stadium--around 2000 or so ---it was July 4th--I'll never forget it --Paul Stanley said that if we sang loud he would come out into the crowd --well I had 25 th row center so I stood on my chair& touched the bottom of his boot as he came gliding by--- was a moment I shall never forget |

Once Ace left the band,that was it.They should have ended it in 96 after the so called '' Farewell Tour'' that seems to never end.Don't get me wrong i was a huge fan back in the day,but they have just become a joke.Two hired guns to replace Ace & Peter,no new material,same show etc,etc.Time to put it to rest. IMO.

Huge fan since '76 (when I was 4!) My older brother turned me on to them and I've followed them ever since. Seen them 15 times, have all their albums, CD's, DVD's etc.
I believe Paul shot down the idea of a show to replace the members of KISS, but said they may look at finding members for an alternate KISS (maybe for a Vegas show or something). I think it's a bad idea and hope they don't do it personally, however, I wouldn't put it past them. As much as I love them, there are still some things they do/release that make me cringe. |

A reality show to replace the band members? That would be interesting. I think I would actually watch that just to see what happens to a band I've loved since '79.

| Kiss paved the way for a lot of the "shows" we see today! The DVD vol. #1 Kiss has a show from early 73' in a small club that shows the early stage show that they would eventually make huge! For theatrics they were the leader in the industry. As for now I think they should do tours of certain groups of albums, kind of like Maiden is doing. I've seen them a half dozen times and would go again in a heartbeat! |

I agree that I'd like to see another Kiss album, but as Paul Stanley states - he could write the next "Stairway To Heaven" (just a turn of phrase, before anyone points out their musical limitations), and people would still go; "Yeah, that's great... now play "Love Gun"!"
There isn't the same amount of money to be made in album sales nowadays, with the internet etc - real cash comes from touring & merchandising (something Maiden specialise in too).
The ALIVE35 tour, is apparently the most successful Kiss tour "ever" (not my words), so I don't think we will be seeing them hanging up their platforms just yet.
I saw them at the Download 08 Festival in the UK recently (along with Priest, who were excellent - been waiting to see them do "Sinner" again for 20 years), and Kiss went down a storm.
For what they do - the BIG show etc - they do very, very well. They might not move around quite as energetically as in the 70's or 80's, but there is definately a market, and appreciation for what they have to offer in concert.
