Craig Irwin Posted April 12, 2013 Posted April 12, 2013 I never got KISS - too intellectual for me. I didn't take to KISS back in the 70's, I saw the makeup and fireworks and thought "kiddy band". Severial years later I was working third shift with a big KISS fan who brought in KISS tapes and played them all night. Thats when I discovered the music was great and got into the band. Stand up and be counted. I am Kiss army man. Some day they will call and I will be ready. ABBA will suffer the wrath of the KISS ARMY !!
lordairgtar Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Best concert I ever saw was the 3D Psycho Circus tour. It was like Stanely's guitar touched my nose from the stage. I also saw the Revenge tour. Edited April 13, 2013 by lordairgtar
lordairgtar Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Sheesh, Custom Hearse! Now I won't be able to sleep tonight.
Ridge Rider Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 I'm a rock/metal teen of the eighties and enjoyed their music ( even the disco stuff).. But I have not been a fan of later albums, and I'ts not just them. Artist and albums got over produced and senthisized when they became popular and lost the rawness. Yes, Kiss did it (back to the disco phase) but they did try to be a little more natural ( with MTV in mind) in the 80s . That being said, I would rather listen to any Kiss over pop music, so don't beat me up to hard.
DrKerry Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Kiss fan here too. Saw the Animalize tour years ago, I'm big into Metal in general. 44 years young and it'll never be to loud!!! Lol, cause I'll have to Crank it up, just so I can hear it!! I've always been a huge Maiden fan as well as Krokus too.
DrKerry Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 I've got a few Kiss memorabilia at home too. I have the figures, Hot Wheels, Wall tapestries, albums and two issues of Playboy with them in it.
Zarana-X Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) I love their 70's-80's work. I have the original Casablanca versions of Rock and Roll over and Double Platinum on vinyl. My earliest memories of Kiss is, "Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park", and beeing a kid in Gemco and asking for the Mego figures and my mom refusing. Edited April 13, 2013 by Zarana-X
Tony T Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 My favourite albums are Alive I and II, which capture their live energy.
Bonekrosha Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 I've always loved Kiss (Motley Crue too). I saw them when I was in the Marine Corps in Memphis in 1990 and again, in makeup in West Palm Beach during one of their reunion tours. Awesome! I saw Motley during the Girls Girls Girls tour. They were awesome, Their opening act Guns and Roses SUCKED !!!!
Craig Irwin Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Their opening act Guns and Roses SUCKED !!!! GnR shows all depended on Axl's mood. When we was ticked off the whole band was down trying to deal with it. The best "GnR" show I ever saw was a tribute band "Paradise City", all the looks, moves and great music without the short fuse.

madisonwoodsmith Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 My Dr. said I had to listen to something different. Last time I did the head bangin thing, I ended up in traction for 4 months. Into more mellow stuff these days, especially Floyd, Zeppelin...late 60's to mid70's R&R John
Craig Irwin Posted April 13, 2013 Posted April 13, 2013 Last time I did the head bangin thing, I ended up in traction for 4 months. John I've been rocking and rolling for 50 years and never had the urge or need to bang my head around.
knarf Posted April 13, 2013 Author Posted April 13, 2013 I love their 70's-80's work. I have the original Casablanca versions of Rock and Roll over and Double Platinum on vinyl. My earliest memories of Kiss is, "Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park", and beeing a kid in Gemco and asking for the Mego figures and my mom refusing. i was waiting to see mention of this movie. it was film at 6flags magic mountain in california. awesome!
Sixx Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Grew up on the Metal of the eighties & hitting 50 in june & still banging my Head ! Can't wait for the new Black Sabbath album & hopefully they tour the states. Sabbath...with Ozzy???? Dio is gone, so whose the front man?? My opinion, Ozzy made Sabbath!!! Back to Kiss for a minute...I dig the " Monster" album, the music is AWESOME, but, as with alot of their songs, lyrics are a little silly. I'm still such a huge fan though!! I could rattle on about my fave bands...but I won't! So many I miss, like Skid Row, Judas Priest, Accept, etc... you see my tag-line below???
