Oh yeah! I had a Kiss phase!

"Destroyer" was the first "rock" album I bought. And I loved it. I own 16 albums, 2 dvds, 2 t-shirts and 6 action figures (still boxed... geek) and the stage with four extra figures. I am a total geek!

Oh yeah and I voted Gene Simmons... only coz of Rock School! That programs great!

 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.

Ace played some great guitar and has some excellent humor, unfortunately he was too often out of this world .. .. In my opinion Kiss was a very entertaining and professional rockband until they discovered the $ .. ...

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.

Hardly a fan ... much prefer the UK version of glam hard rock a la Slade & Sweet.

Still Have a decent best of with about 5 tracks I really like including Black Diamond and their cover of Argent's God Gave Rock'N'Roll To You (I admit they improve on the original)

Aparently Kiss tried their hand at art-rock with Bob Ezrin producing an album called The Elder ... anyone hear it?

Back to the actual question ... I think Paul Stanley wrote most of the best Kiss songs, but for personality (perceived at least) Ace Frehley's is the one that appealed to me ...
"Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.”

"No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present."

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.
