Kiss - Progressive Rock Music Forum

I much prefer Argent's original of 'God Gave...'- in fact I don't really like anything of Kiss past about 1977 or so, but I don't think anyone can deny that their earlier stuff like 'God Of Thunder', 'Deuce', 'Black Diamond', 'Watching You' or 'Detroit Rock City' are incredible riffs.

I condemn thee to hell!!!

(Where they play Kiss all the time).

I was never overly infatuated with Kiss but when I was a heavy metal youngster I guess I went through a Kiss phase. I have to admit when I see Gene Simmons on TV I stop and take a listen; the dude is really pretty intelligent and knows his rock-n-roll. And that Rock School show is really cool; him coaching the kids and cheering them on shows he's got some heart and cares about kids.

Cheering them on?! Lol!

The only gig footage I've seen is him telling them they were crap etc.

Any idea how the big Judas Priest gig went? Coz I think I missed that episode.

"Oceans Down You'll Lie"
coming soon

Ace Frehley. Fav album is Rock And Roll Over, (great guitar tone on this one!) which I still listen to as frequently as, say, Deep Purple.

Arguing with anonymous strangers on the internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be or seem to be self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free

Can't decide. I didn't have a "Kiss phase", but I like some of their songs.

The only Kiss phase I went through is the one I reach when meeting the girlfriend and wanting to get cosy.

This group simply never did it for me although I must say some tracks were correct.

But their success quickly went to their heads, especially with those solo records simultaneously released. You had to have crud in your eyes not to realize that they were industrial rock or even worse corporate rock

But these guys and their whole paraphenelia products disgusted me even as a teen ager, simply because they had catalogues of their material including puppets of them, clothes etc... Trying to getkids hooked on your trash wioth comic books, only The Jackson-5 stooped lower than that with the animated comics

This was about shameless money making and they were certainly at the base of my dislike for openly commercial music .

sorry guys, have to state it as it is, not even as I see it

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

yeah I went thru a Kiss phase that lasted probably 1 week
..maybe back in 79 or 80..but never bought an album by em..or did I?..shame on me..

NONE of the above.

We're only in it for the music!!!

I'm willing to admit I had a Kiss phase, and saw them a couple of times. Hardly the 'hottest band in the world' as they claimed, but still great fun. Ace was my favourite member. I liked his laid back, space ace persona. I quite liked his solo album too.

I've been watching Gene Simmons' Rock School on UK TV. I dont know how he puts up with some of those kids! On the other hand, how they put up with him is a mystery.

Best Kiss album for me was Destroyer.

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
