dondoboy Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Since the Hall of Fame discussion I've been listening to them quite a bit. And they're great. The KISS ArmyKISS Wikipedia PageKISS AsylumKISS FAQ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
remphish1 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I saw them once in concert on the Psycho Circus Tour which was 3-d. I had third row seats, I caught a pick from Paul Stanley and I had a good time! Kiss is a fun band and everyone should see them live once....that being said I do not own any of their albums or no much more than the hits... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Smith Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I like Bruce's cover of "I Was Made For Lovin' You." Is that the one he calls "Outlaw Pete"? KISS are ok. I Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Any male who grew up (early teens) in the mid-late 70s can not deny their appeal. I have great memories of enjoying them back then and still listen to some of their old stuff from time to time. They definitely had a grip on the male teen market back then.

Moss Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I had all their albums and they were my first concert ever. I don't find myself listening to them but I know if I threw on Destroyer or Dressed to kill I would be Loving it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

moxiebean Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Heard "Rock & Roll all Nite" on the radio driving to work this morning. That chiming cord progression at the end of the verse and chorus is one of the most beautiful things in music ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dmait Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 >While he is annoying you can't say he hasn't been a savvy businessman. The guy still makes a killing on his product even though their "relevance," (musically), is gone. Not bad I'msure he's made a ton of cash. And the fans don't care, so why not. If Springsteen or Neil Young sold caskets, the fans would be pretty dismayed. But in the end, of course, the "artist" (can we use that terms for Gene?) can do what he wants.

dondoboy Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 New album info from Gene: GENE CHECKS IN! Date: March 27 ...We've also been recording our first New Studio Album in 11 years!!!. Produced by Paul Stanley. And, having Paul simply decide things, works better. Democracy is highly overrated. Paul is kickin' ass. The material sounds great and Tommy and Eric are in great form. We have 4 tunes recorded. If you're a fan of our stuff from about 1977, you'll feel right at home. All of us have taken up the songwriting call to arms in the same spirit we once did -- without a care in the world and without outside writers. Nothing to prove to anyone. Just doing what comes naturally. Ignoring fashions, trends and with a personal vow from all of us: no rapping. There are plenty of people out there doing this and they don't need four palefaced guys pretending they're from the hood. Besides, I'm not sure how to correctly pronounce "wassup." Tommy is finishing his solo tune. Sounds great, I can tell you. And Eric is going to sing on the album. Most importantly, we are having the time of our lives...

Moss Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Destroyer is one of the iconic album covers of the 70's. Just felt like bumping this thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
calvino Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Destroyer is one of the iconic album covers of the 70's. Just felt like bumping this thread. Someone posted some of the Destroyer Studio Sessions up at Hunger City.Does anyone know if they really wore their make up in the studio? Or was this for a photo op.

Moss Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Someone posted some of the Destroyer Studio Sessions up at Hunger City.Does anyone know if they really wore their make up in the studio? Or was this for a photo op. I just assumed that's how they always look. They just getup in the morning, throw on the 7 inch leather heels and head off to the studio.

Analogman Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 It was for a photo-op. If you get the book KISS Behind The Mask, you will see all sorts of photos of them in studios, soundchecks, etc. without make-up on. I think they only put it on before shows, and for photo sessions. That is really good book to read - as I have said before. There is a lot detail about how the albums were put together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
