Conference napalm::heavy_metal

    
    I saw Kiss on Saturday night.  "Kings Of The Sun" opened for them.
    They sounded like a combination of AC/DC and Big Country.  The lead
    singer/rythem guitarist looked just like Adrian Vandenburg, the
    lead guitarist looked like Jimmy Page, the drummer and bassist both
    looked like p*****.                   
                                          
    Then Kiss came on with the words "ALRIGHT LONDON!!!!!" booming from
    the speaker stacks, and did an okay show.  I was unlucky, I had 
    terrible seats on Friday, and couldn't really enjoy the show coz
    there were kids who were drinking too much and shouting and spitting
    but. . . .
                                             
                                          
    I went again the FOLLOWING night, and had fourth row from the front,
    centre.
    
    Kings of the Sun still sucked, and they lead "singer" was an arogant
    sombitch.  they did this track called "Black Leather" and he started
    to strip.  All he had on was his boots and leather pants, and he
    started to undo them (I thought pass me the bucket), he then whiped
    down his pants and bent over.....to reveal a pair of Union Jack
    boxer shorts.....what a pratt!! he then spen the rest of the show
    trying to do them back up again !!!!  
          
    Kiss- F****** brilliant !!!!!! the energy of the band amazed
    me, but Paul Stanley was an arogant son-of-a-bitch, and I nearly
    shot the bugger when he broke a luverly looking guitar (It was either
    a KRAMER or a HAMER - NOT a BC RICH).    
                                             
    They played all the great stuff like Strutter, Tears are falling,
    Lick it Up, Right between the eyes, Bang Bang You, Cold Gin, heavens
    on fire, reason to live, crazy nights, no no no (I actually got
    to see Bruce Kulicks tapping solo - always wanted to see it live),
    and lots more that I can't remember.     
                                             
    My ears still haven't returned to normal.                                
    -Tony                                    

    I HAVE JUST SEEN KISS FOR THE FIRST TIME!
    Actually it's the first time I have had the opertunity to see them
    when they have been in the U.K. For various reasons.
    
    	I thought the Gig was definatly on the good side of great. None
    of this *P*O*P* rubbish (sorry about the language moderator) that
    they have been putting out lately, virtually the whole gig consisted
    of thier earlier material. It was great.
    
    	To me the highlight of the gig was definatly Eric Carr's drum
    solo - and - the disappointment was Bruce's solo (talk about boring!).
    
    
    		Hope I ain't upset too many of you U.S. Metalheads.
    
    	Hit em hard! Where it hurts!

    	I was surprised at how effeminate Paul Stanley was last
    	night.  Like someone else said, it was almost disturbing
    	to watch.  I thought I'd scream if he pursed his lips one
    	more time.  So I screamed.  And then I turned off MTV.

                            him and Peter Criss.
    NEW Take the "X" out of Sex...Its ok,nothing great.
    and one more, not sure of the name??

    	Well, my boyfriend went out and bought Smashes, Thrashes,
    	and Hits.  It's not bad, in fact, it's good if you're 
    	looking for a "Greatest Hits" type album.  Eric Carr
    	does a pretty good job at singing Beth, although no one
    	can duplicate the original Peter Criss!!
    
    	Anyways.  I can't think of all the tracks, but some of 
    	them are....
    
    	Shout it out Loud
    	Beth (Eric Carr vocals)
    	Rock'n'Roll All Night
    	Detroit Rock City
    	Heaven's on Fire
    	Deuce 
    	Strutter
    
    	Well, there's 7 anyways.  There's 15 tracks in all, and
    	I can't remember what they are.  (I know the songs, but
    	not the names, y'know?)
    
    	Tig~~
    

    I like the Digital remix on the other songs,,,for example
    there is also added vocal parts on "Shout it out Loud"
    other songs on the Lp Include,
    "Love Gun"  "I was made for loving you"  "Take the X out of sex"

    Well, I've liked KISS since I was 12 (9-years ago), that was when
    Creatures of the night came out!!!  IMO that was the last good album
    they put out - they've been going down hill (very steeply) ever
    since then!
    
    Best albums:	Dressed to Kill
    			Rock n' Roll Over
    			Hotter than Hell.
    
    Flip

    OKO, this is stupid!!!
    
    Rock n Roll All Nite ***** IS ***** on Dressed to Kill.  It was then
    released on Kiss Alive (1), which was the first 3 albums done live.
    Rock n Roll Over was the 2nd studio album after Kiss Alive (Destroyer
    was the first one), and songs from that were featured on Kiss Alive II.
    Please make a note of this! 

    
    FWIW...         
    
    I actually like "X in Sex".
                           
    Its totally different to old Kiss but you gotta consider that they
    catering for a totally different auidiance.
    
    Just my opinion.

    The only Kiss tune I *ever* liked was Tears Are Fallin'...Mainly
    cuzI liked the tear on the guit string deal in the vid...

    I heard that for the new Kiss tour they are going to wear make-up
    again, has anybody else heard this??

    	I remember seeing on TV somewhere that Kiss had been getting
    	tons of mail asking when they were going to put the make-up
    	back on, but to my understanding they were only putting it on
    	for their next video off "Hide Your Heart" (or whatever the
    	most recent album is)
    
    	Tigga~~~

KISS IN MAKE-UP AGAIN!!!

The story according to Kerrang!

Gene and Paul have reverted back to wearing make-up for a gig at Gazzari's, LA.
The stunt was ONLY for a video shoot to accompany their forthcoming "Rise to it"
single.

    	Could someone list their more popular songs, and who does
    	the vocals?
    
    	Like:
    
    	"Black Diamond" - Gene?
    	"Cold Gin" - Ace, I believe

    I've seen KISS live twice (in my younger days, I'll have to admit).
    Once with Peter Criss and once with Eric Carr.  Both times Paul sang
    the intro and either Peter or Eric sang the main song.  Also, saw 
    them on MTV concerts a couple of times and again, Carr sang the main
    verses.  I gave my "KISS Alive" tape to a nephew years ago but I do
    remember a difference between the voices during the song.  When Criss
    sings on this song he is screaming so he can easily be confused with
    sounding like Paul.  I think Paul comes back in again for the last
    verse.  This probably adds to the confusion.
    
    
    					the bomb
    
    

    
    Saw Kiss live in '79 (Dynasty tour) and Peter Criss DID sing
    the main part of that song, with Paul doing the intro.
    
    Has anybody seen the new Kiss video yet, its been in MTV's top
    10 this week and I keep missing it.
    
    One last note, I looked at the song lineup for the lastest Frehleys
    Comets album, And it seems like ole Ace has a whole side of Kiss
    songs, including Cold Gin, Rocket Ride, Shock me, Love gun. Has any-
    body heard these tunes and how do they sound?? I cant imagine Ace
    singing Cold Gin!!!
    
    Must be his new band is desperate for material...........GOD he looks
    bad, PUT THE MAKEUP BACK ON DUDE!!!

    Anyone catch the new Kiss "Rise To It " video? I was under the
    impression they would wear make-up doing the tune, but they only showed
    Paul and Gene at they end in full costume and make-up. If memory serves
    me correct, Paul was wearing his costume from the "Alive II" tour
    and Gene's was from the "Dynasty" tour. The video is a hard rockin'
    concert thing, but I'm not sure if I like the tune, yet.
    
    Its interesting to see that Kiss has probably had their biggest hit since
    "Beth" with "Forever".
    
    Any comments on the new video?

    I went to the Kiss concert at Great Woods Friday night.  There was
    far too much feedback in the music, but besides that the music was
    good....Paul Stanley should drop all the old stuff that he has to
    sing since he can't hit the notes like he used to and since his
    voice isn't what it used to be the vocals on the old stuff sounded
    the SH!T.  The newer stuff sounded good but I found out that kiss
    is not the best band to go to live....a much better studio band.

    RE:: tigga...
    
    	They sounded good on thier new stuff, but Paul couldn't hold
    a note on the old stuff.  His voice is shot.

I remember seeing 'Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park' when I was younger, but 
don't remember it much now. But I can buy it new for $7.99 at BJ's. But I 
don't really want to spend the bucks on the stupid movie. My question is:

Does anyone know how many songs Kiss performs live for the movie? And is it
really lie, or is it the recorded versions just overdubbed? 

Just want to know whether its worth my $$$ or not.....

alan

    
    
    	Alan there are a few live things on the movie like an acoustic
    	 version of "Beth" and something else. If you want to laugh
    	it's a good movie to get. (not because it's funny though)

I remember it being quite bad.  I was a big fan at the time and even I had
trouble with it.  I think they play live but I can't remember.  They might
do Firehouse and Rock and Roll All Night.  It says on the back of the tape
what songs they do.


Tim

    
    RE:.194
    
    "KISS meets the phantom" was a pretty bad movie, in fact the band didnt
    like either, they said things were taken out of their hands and they
    lost control. The concert scenes were OK.
    If you want a good KISS video, spend the extra bucks, and buy "KISS
    exposed". This video is great, there is some vintage concert footage
    from they mid-late seventies. Gene and Paul kinda narrate the whole
    thing. I was amazed that they showed alot of their concert antics,
    you would defenitly enjoy this more that the Phantom thing.
    
    RE: A few back
    
    Where did you hear ACE would be touring with the band again??
    
    I listen to KISS rarely now (mainly when I'm working out, blasted thru 
    my walkman)......Gawd their lyrics were STUPID as hell!
    
    But I still think they were great, the pioneers of make-up and major
    stage shows.....I knew peter would be the first to leave the band, 
    and I also knew things would really go downhill when they took the
    make-up off......I still consider myself a huge fan though.

    KISS FANS---Eric Carr had heart surgery last week and is recovering
    quite nicely. The band was recording there next album but took a 
    break to go see Eric in the hospital.
    They said he should be back to normal in no time!8*)

    Eric was suffereing from a condition called Pericarditis....it causes
    a fluid build up around the heart...usually due to a growth in one of
    the chambers.
    
    The doctors discovered it when they gave him an X-ray...he went to the
    doctors complaining that he had a bad bout of bronchitis.
    
    He underwent a four hour open heart surgery on April 9th.

    Kiss does a cover of Petra's "God Gave Rock'n'Roll to You" for the Bill
    & Ted sequel (release is this weekend).  King's X also has a tune in
    it.
    
    I just heard the Kiss cover and I think Petra's version is a lot
    better.

Petra??? It was orignally done by Argent back in the 70's!

I saw the video for it this morning. Pretty stupid (and lame) song, but the 
video is cool because they have a lot of flashbacks of old Kiss footage - 
all stuff with makeup on, and Gene shooting flames, and all sortsa cool stuff!

alan

    I don't mind the song that much, except that it seems to go on forever
    (every version I've heard).  You know how those "anthem" things wear on
    ya...
    
    I like Kiss's version, good cover, they added to the song.  Haven't
    seen the video though, not much TV/MTV time lately!
    
    gh

    
    
    I agree with Alan.  The song sucks and the video is cool!

    The song/video/idea INHALES !!!
    
    I miss the old days (like the 1st live album and everything before
    that, the rest is carion ...)

    Re: Argent
    
    yeah I know.  What I meant was that I like Petra's second version
    better (they covered it twice before Kiss did).  Argent did it in the
    early '70s.
    
    Mike

    
    I saw the video on the ball last night and its the most awful song I've
    ever heard!!
    
    Kiss have finally keeled over backwards with a large fart and are
    finally pushing up daiseys.

Eric Carr is dead yesterday from a cancer.

PS : This topic should have the keyword "bands"

    Well I don't know sh*t about playing drums but when I saw Kiss with

    area.  (Best thing about the gig really!)

    our stuff is way too fast for me to do that...i'd love to though.

    Which album was released first, Hotter than Hell or Dressed to Kill?
    

    Did Ace Frehley and Peter Criss both leave the band before they
    	removed their make-up?  Who left first?
    
    
    Jim
    

    
    re: .54
    
    Dressed to Kill came out first, out of those two.
    
    re: .55
    
    Yes, and I believe Peter Chris left first.

    Wasn't the first album just called"KISS"?
    
    From what I remember,Ace HAD to leave first because of a car crash he
    had that resulted in him not being able to Fly.But the band was alittle
    sick of him at the time anyways..
    I think Chris left later....
    
    Crazy_when_the_Make_up_fell_off,_I-dont_A_know_Al
    

    I can assure you that Peter left first (1979 the UNMASKED tour) The
    drummer was a young Eric Carr.......NOTE the title of the album was
    called unmasked BUT they still had their make up on (Eric being made up
    as a fox!!)

    
    
    From what I understand, Ace left afterwards not by choice, he was
    thrown in jail for about a year.
    
    
    The Mystic Powers band room has a couple of KISS posters hanging up
    with Ace and Eric Carr as well as the rest of the band - in makeup.
    
    
    
    
    Goddess F.

    I was *the* Kiss fan of the world...here's the poop:
    
    Hotter than Hell came out before DTK..in fact, it was first released
    in Japan as an import (hence the graphics on the cover!).
    
    Ace left before Peter, nether before the makeup came off.

    
    
    Alright, wait a minute!
    
    What about the Elder album?  That has Ace on guitar, Eric on drums.
    
    
    
    
    Goddess F.

    Peter definatly left first!  He played only some of the drum tracks on
    the Album with the Cartoon strip on the front, it could be unmasked?
    
    Ace did indeed leave becouse of legal troubles, he had a little High
    speed car chase with the Either the NJ or Conn police that ended with
    him cracking up his Porsche...
    
     The sequence of Albums goes like this,  Kiss, Hotter the Hell, Dressed
     to Kill, Alive, Rock and Roll over,  Destroyer, Lovegun, Alive II,
     Double Platinum, Solo albums, Dynasty, Unmasked, Music from the Elder,
     Creatures of the night, Lick it up, and then I lost intrest ???
    
    I was a huge Kiss fan when I was younger belonged to the Kiss army and
    at one time had about 150 pitcures of them plastering the walls of my
    room.  Some how though I've never managed to catch them in concert.
    I've often hoped for a reunion tour of the origanl group with Make Up
    on, that would be killer!!!
    
    Dan

    
    Peter Criss left before Unmasked, wlthough his picture was on the cover
    (Eric carr was the real drummer).  Ace Frehley left during Creatures of
    the Night (Vinnie V played the extra tracks).
    
    

    What album had "I want to rock and roll all night"?
    
    
    Never really into Kiss.

Rock and Roll all night was from Dressed to Kill and there was a live version on
Alive.

Back a few:

The order for Destroyer and Rock and Roll Over is reversed.  Destroyer came out
first.  I saw that tour.  My first concert ever.

    i saw destroyer...not my first concert, but I was BLOWN away!!  So
    loud, so many special effects...killer stage...i was like WOAH!

    I bought the Kiss eXpsosed video.
    It shows show old concert footage.  From what I could see, Ace was
    still in the band when the Fox was playing drums.  From watching their
    videos on the tape, I can make out 4 different guitarists.  Ace, Vinnie
    Vincent, Bruce Kulick, and someone else.  Gene mentions his name on the
    tape but I don't remember who it was.  I think he was the guitarist on
    Lick it Up (unless that was Vincent, then he was the one in the Heaven's
    on Fire video).
    
    Why did Peter Criss leave?  Gene and Paul don't really mention why in
    the tape.
    
    Jim
    

    Note 19.62 says Alive II was released and then Double Platinum.
    Why would Kiss release 2 greatest hits type albums in a row?
    (I consider Alive II a live greatest hits album for their previous 3
    albums.)

    Wait a minute!  Some say Hotter than Hell before Dressed to Kill, some
    one else says DTK before HTH.  Which is it?
    
    Jim
    

    The other guitarist was Mark St. John would aquired tendonitious(sp)
    while with Kiss.  Maybe someone can list a disc list.

    From Hudson, MA.!

    Yes, the order went:
    
    Hotter than Hell
    Dressed to Kill
    
    then
    
    Alive II
    Solo Albums
    Double Platinum
    Dynasty
    
    Basically, DP was a "tie over" album while the band re-grouped from
    their solo efforts to produce Dynasty (which is a roolin album, btw!).
    
    My personal favorite KISS albums are (in no particular order):
    
    Hotter than Hell
    Dressed to Kill
    Alive 
    Destroyer
    Rock and Roll Over
    Love Gun
    Dynasty
    
    Everything after Dynasty was crap IMVHO.
    

    
    I have a book at home on Kiss that I'm pretty sure has a listing in the
    back of all there albums and dates of release up to dynasty, as thats
    when the book was written.   Destroyer, in my opionion was the best they
    ever released.  
    
    Dan

Destroyer was the beginning of the end of these guys.  Success went to their
heads.  As soon as I heard Beth I knew it was over.

I do like Rock and Roll over, but Love Gun was a disco album.

Buck, how can you compare something like Love Gun with I Was Made for Loving You
Baby with the first album and songs like Cold Gin, Firehouse, and Strutter and
Deuce?

These guys just want your money...

Tim

    I *like* I was made for loving you!!  Ace grooved a killer solo over
    that, and I really liked the disco/metal fusion (I like odd fusions,
    anyways)!  Love Gun was a great album IMHO.  I think Rock and Roll Over
    is their best album.

    If Kiss just wanted our money don't you think they wouldv'e left the
    biz long ago?   How can you say that?  I think they have enough money
    to last three life times why would they keep going?
     I'm not much of a Kiss fan but atleast I can tell they're for real.
    
               Frizkid
    
    

Okay they don't want money they want groupies...

    No...Not better.   I think they wouldv'e quit along time ago on that
    one too!  I mean once you've had on groupie youv'e had em' all.
      PLus theyv'e had WAY more than their share....
    Your going to have to do better than that too!
    
           You don't do 25 or so albums for groupies.....
    
                       Frizkid
    

    I think they started out because they believed in what they did now its
    just the $$$$$$$ they are after.

    Oh course, Kiss stands for "Kids In Satan's Service"...
    
    NOT!
    
    
    Actually, Paul came up with the name after Gene wanted to name the band
    "F..."!  Paul and Gene started the band, with Peter Criss joining next,
    and Ace joining last.  Their first show was in 1974 with BOC at a small
    club in NYC.  

    Their name before that was Wicked Lester. Pete Criss's solo sold the
    most BTW.
    
                Frizkid
    

    In the Kiss eXposed video, they show the 1982 music video for "I Love
    it Loud" (which is on Creatures of the Night).  Ace was the guitarist
    and they still wore makeup.  There's also footage from Kiss's last
    concert in makeup.  I believe it was 1983 (the box the tape came in
    said 1983, Gene says 1982 in the video though). Here they did "I Love
    it Loud"(live) and it was not Ace playing guitar,  I assume it was
    Vinnie Vincent (though I don't know what VV looks like, I can tell you
    it is the same guy on the Lick it Up cover).  Anyway, he was wearing
    makeup.  He had a silver ankh painted along his nose and across his
    forehead.  Did he have a stage name like the others (i.e. Fox, Demon)?
    So I guess Ace left during Creatures of the Night, so he was never
    officially unmasked while with Kiss.
    
    Jim
    

    Who cares whether they stayed in it for the money or the groupies? 
    After about the first five albums, they didn't get anymore of MY money
    and they sure as h*ll didn't get any *ss off ME!
    
    gh

    If Ace was in jail, why didn't he bend the bars with his mind like he
    said he could do in Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park?
    Ha Ha Ha!
    
    Jim

    
    	I forget where the discussion on the Kiss cover album was but
    	anyhow "Hard to Believe" was originally a 2-LP released in
    	Australia on Waterfront records and Southern in the UK released
    	it as a single LP.  It's not to be confused with "Hard to Beat"
    	which if I recall has a similar cover but is Stooge's covers.
    
    	- Jim
    	

    Mixing it up a bit, my all-time favorite guitar solo is by Ace...
    live "Shock Me".  Kiss was my first live concert, in Springfield MA,
    and it was excellent! I've inscribed some serious groves in "Alive"
    and "Alive II" 'recapturing the moments' !
    
    Destroyer is my favorite studio album, I'd have to say Love Gun
    comes in at a close 2nd. Haven't done a lot of studio listening
    on them though, was tuned into them via the live stuff...

    So do Gene and Paul !!!!!!!!!
    

    NOT!

    Fwiw, I met ACE once in NYC, and he was sort of a drunked idiot.
    But, in any case, they guy was once one of the most tastiest rock
    guitarists around!!  If I could play with his feel and sense of
    melodicy, I'd have no problem having 0% personality!

Buck, do you melodocity or mediocrity??

I guess I like early Kiss, when Ace was still learning how to play from cassettes
or something.  Did he get better?

Gene Simmons said that they got real tired of covering for Ace's alcoholism
and they had to part ways.  Sounded like he wished they didn't have to go that
route.

Tim

    re: Mike
    
    What did Ace say in the interview that made him sound like such an
    idiot?
    
    gh

    
    
    Okay.  I saw the new video Saturday night.  It was like shellshock!  
    
    It seems a little strange to me that after Kiss took off the makeup,
    they became extremely poseurish and glam.  Especially when it came to
    clothes!  Just two weeks ago I watched the Exposed video and everyone
    is running around in neon sequined scarves, gloves, etc.  
    
    So now here comes Kiss - death metal band.  Are they jumping on a
    bandwagon or what?  Did they notice that really heavy type metal
    bands have been making it to #1 on the billboards and snatching the
    Grammies?
    
    Paul Stanley seemed REALLY out of place in that video, and whats more,
    the camera was hardly on him!  And Gene was wearing black nail polish!
    
    But who knows maybe they have just decided they would like to do down
    and dirty heavy metal now.

    So how was the song?  Any good?

    I like it alot! I'm not a Kiss fan by any figment of the imagination
    either.  It's real HEAVY... I don't know it it's "Death Metal" but
    it certainly DARK.
    
     BTW-Kiss is doing a club tour to warm-up for their arena tour and 
    Kevin and Kyle in my band have tickets and backstage passes for the gig
    in Tempe,Arizona.  They're fanatics....

      >Gene looks posessed but Paul still has the cool pout! 8)
    
              Frizkid
    

    I have not seen the video, but finally heard the tune.  Yeah, it's
    heavy, but not as heavy as I thought it would be.  It's certainly 
    not as heavy as GOD OF THUNDER of the Destroyer lp!  So it has more
    DM-style lyrics...big deal.

    
    I say the video and thought Gene Simmons is his possesed self from 
    1976 destroyer days agian... he always wore black nail polish then.
    I think the songs okay kind of shock after some of there stuff they've
    been doing recently.  Its about time they went back to there roots 
    now if they could just get Ace and Peter back, that would ROOL!
    
    Dan

    Is there a Kiss album called KILLERS?
    I've heard it mentioned but I haven't seen it at any record stores.
    I've seen every other cd of theirs (including the 4 solos), but not
    Killers.
    
    Jim
    

    I am not a big enough fan of Kiss to tell you anything about the
    album, but there is definately an album called Killers.
    
    Mark

    The more stuff I hear off the new KIZZ album, the more I think I will
    go out and actually buy this!  I haven't bought a KIZZ album since 
    Dynasty (although since Dynasty, I had Smashes, Thrashes, and Hits, but
    someone gave me that one).  The new lp has an "old" sound to it, which
    is where my liking is coming from.  I stopped liking KIZZ after ACE and
    Peter left, and the band adopted this 'new' sound.  Hotter than Hell,
    Dressed to Kill, Destroyer, and Rock and Roll Over are their best
    efforts ever imvho.

    RE::Buck. I agree....
    
        I lean towards the more heavier stuff with Gene Simmons singing.
    Songs like UNHOLY,SPIT,DOMINO,THOU SHALL NOT are the ballz!!!!!
    Although the song I JUST WANNA with Paul singing is great...
    They wrote about four songs with the imfamous Vinnie Vincent. Which I
    thought was really cool.  I also thought it was cool when they put a
    track from 1981 with Eric Carr doing all the instuments as sort of
    tribute.
                 Frizkid
    

    
    Well Guys! Looks like Ill get this one toOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    #1 Kizz Fan....

    
    A f riend of mine has it, and I got a listen. It looks to me like
    they've changed their image for the better, but their music hasn't
    changed entirely. Gene's tunes are good. I also think the drummer
    inhales (IMHO)!

    
    
    RE - a few back
    
    KILLERS is kind of a 'greatest hits' album; has some of their hits 
    and a few remixes on it. Not sure if it's still available. I know
    the CD is only available in Japan.  Hope this helps,
    
    
    Steve

    The drummer inhales?  NOT! C'mon Pete....He has some tasty licks and 
    he just as good if not better than you. BTW-He was touring for ALICE
    COOPER before he joined with KISS. Another reason for YOU not to bust
    his balls. 8)

    >Well I hope all of you aren't referring to the new stuff that has some

    I think they're saying "I just want to Funky you", or something like
    that.  yes, lame-o lyrically, but the groove was way cool!

    
     It sounds alot like "Summertime Blues" to call it original. And yes
    I agree about the lyrics.

>    Jealousy rears it's ugly head once again, huh Buck.
    
    Kiss has been a great band, and have managed to stay popular and active
    for almost 20 years now.  That's a lot to be jealous of!
    
    ...even if their lyrics are a little cheesy.

    Yea.....I'm REAL jealous of Kiss.
    
     I'd love to be around and half as cool for half the amount of time. 8)

    Whether I can do better or not is not the point. I don't think his
    drumming fits Gene's powerful songs.

    I think the music would be more intense with a Slayer/Overkill type
    drummer. Maybe I should of explained, so I would've been safe from the
    verbal ravages of the Buckmeister.
    
    /prc

    I did not ravage, did I??

    I think the drums would totally lame with Overkill/Slayer drums.
    Then it wouldn't be Kiss and certainly not original.....

    I heard a version of Detroit Rock City I never heard before on the
    radio.  The only difference was that they said "you gotta lose your
    mind in Detroit Rock City" twice in the song instead of the usual once.
    It wasn't a live version.  It's not the version you hear on Destroyer,
    Alive II, or Smashes, Thrashes & Hits.  Is their some other CD that has
    this version or was this just a version the radio station put together?

    Killers or (is it Killer?) is from 1982,and is a collection of old

    Anyone seeing Kiss on their latest tour? I`m not. I saw them on the
    Lick It Up and Animalize tours,and thought they were crap. They weren`t
    bad at Donnington,though. Mainly cuz they did mainly old stuff.
    

    I was at that Donnington too and thought they were ok,I wouldn't go and
    see them headline on a tour!

    I have Killers at home its a import from Germany, I think?? I got it 
    about 8 or 9 years ago.  Its as mentioned earlier a greatest hits 
    kind of album, but it does have 2 songs on it with Ace playing, that
    maybe the last songs released with him playing for Kiss.

    I stood at the back when kiss were doing their set at Donnington.  I
    have no idea what they looked like because the air was full of piss

    I heard part of an interview call-in thing with Kiss (at least Gene and
    Paul) on the radio last night and they played some new songs. 
    Interesting sounding stuff, but man, their vocals on at least one song
    sounded like a country-rock band!  I'm going "Izzat new .38 Special?"

    KIZZ roolz supreme ... even their DISCO days were awesome!!

    re-2,
    
    	You mean the Dynasty album and the rest after that?  Well, I wasn't
    too impressed with them because of the earlier albums.  I guess I come
    from the old school...1st through Rock'N'Roll Over are my favorites.
    
    B.A.

    Dynasty was the last KIZZ album I really loved.  The love affair died
    quickly there after (which started with their solo albums ... loved
    ACE's, liked Paul's, Simmon's had a coulple hot spots, but overall was
    a dog, and criss' blew chunks!).  Similar to the solo albums, UNMASKED
    had a couple of hot spots, but overall was weak.

    I saw "Domino" on MTV last weekend .... I really liked it, but if you
    close your eyes, it sounds like ZZ Top.  I ain't complaining, just
    making a statement.  Does the rest of the album have a similar groove
    to "Domino" ?
    
    Scary (who used to be in a KISS cover band, da good times !)

I remember watching Kiss do Firehouse and Duece on The Midnight Special.  I was
hooked after that.  I started losing interest around Destroyer.

They were the first big concert I ever saw.  Tough act to follow...

    seen, and even though I don't care for them all that much, that I'd
    like one of their concerts...  Must be one heck of a show!!!

    Gak.

    I was really into the early Kiss stuff, but I thought their "disco" era
    stuff sucked hard.  That was when I stopped buying their albums and
    listening to them.  I still think the first 3-4 albums were the best.  
    
    I haven't been able to get into any of their more recent stuff either,
    since they dumped the makeup.  It's like it all sounds real generic to
    me, it seems to have lost the personality the first few albums had. 
    The stuff I've heard off the newest album seems most like the early
    material to me, but I probably won't buy it.

    stuck with them for another 10 years at least.  Somebody help us.

    I watched the home video last night...Anybody who doubts Kiss should
    watch it. After that you MIGHT have a clue to what Kiss is all about.
     Paul Stanley said "It you hate us..God bless you. If you love us..then
    that great too! If you're in the middle...GET THE F**K OUT!
     He also said "Revenge for us has been stick around as long as we have"
    Peter Criss doesn't even do his own voice in "Kiss meets the Phantom".
    He didn't show up for the voice overs so someone else did his voice."
    
         I think they'll be around at least 10 more years...That's great!

    I bought the Kiss Xtreme Close Up video last week.
    It's definitely the best documentary of the band that there is.
    It highlights each of their albums, plus they tell how each member
    got into the band and why they left.
    Also why they wore make-up and why they took it off.
    Everthing you'd want to know is answered in this tape.

    I finally found KILLERS the other day.
    I was doubtful that it existed.
    I assume it's not available on CD because it wasn't listed on
    the master list of Kiss CDs.
    I was just walking past the cassette section.....and there it was.
    The yellow box got my attention.
    It's yet another greatest hits album.  12 songs, 1 of which is live.
    I really like that song "Sure Know Something".  It's kind of disco-ish
    but I think it's pretty cool.
    
    Jim
    

    
    "Sure know something" is off of Dynasty.. A pretty good tune.  
     
     Anyone seen the new video for "Domino" on MTV? Caughtit the other
    night,  Gene is getting old looking!!  good song,  has anyone got
    the new album? Comments...good, bad, etc....
    
      Dan

       re-1
    
                    Domino?  This isn't the same one that has
    the line,  "every damn time she comes in the room it's the
    same damn thing, when that b*tch bends over, I forget my
    name..." is it????????

    Killers IS available on CD (japanese import).  Check Goldmine
    Magazine, or I'm sure your local record store can order it for
    you.  
    
    
    Steve

    Record stores like Strawberries, Record Town, and Tape World (worm)
    said that they  couldn't get Killers on CD.  They looked at the same
    book I did which lists Kiss CDs.  Killers was not listed.
    
    In the Kiss Xtreme Close-up tape, they show each of their CDs.
    Killers is not among them.
    
    Jim
    

    Which Kiss CD is "I'm a Legend Tonight" on (other than Killers)?
    
    Jim
    

    Re - Jim
    
    Then pick up a copy of Goldmine Magazine.  I've seen at least 5
    dealers that have it for sale.
    
    
    
    Steve
    

    Can anyone tell me about this KIZZ album I've heard about??  It's an
    import of all cover tunes, with Nirvana doing a cover of "Do You Love
    Me" (from the Destroyer lp).
    
    ???   This sounds great ... what's the poop on it?

    Regarding KILLERS, I don't think it's a complete greatest hits album.
    I think some of the songs were new, since I could find a parent album
    for them.
    Here's ther list
    1. I'm a Legend Tonight - ??
    2. Down on Your Knees   - ??
    3. Cold Gin             - Kiss
    4. Love Gun             - Love Hun
    5. Shout it out Loud    - Destroyer
    6. Sure Know Something  - Dynasty
    7. Nowhere to Run       - ??
    8. Partners in Crime    - ??
    9. Detroit Rock City    - Destroyer
    10. God of Thunder      - Destroyer
    11. I was Made for Loving You  - Dynasty
    12. Rock and Roll all Nite (live)  - Alive
    
    Can anyone identify the songs with the ?? next to them.  Were they new?
    
    Jim
     

    
    	Well, I've given "Revenge" 3 or 4 listens now, and consider that
    	to be a sufficient number of times to say that it cranks ...
    	The best part is that [for the most part] Paul has gotten away
    	from that "wimp voice" he seems to love to use for all the radio
    	hits ["Let's Put the 'X' in Sex", etc.].  Paul and Gene have
    	resorted to a more "gravelly" vocal style [not that Gene really
    	has a choice, though!!] which suits the music, and what I con-
    	sider to be the "real" KISS.

    There's a song on 'Dynasty' called '2,000 Man' and it was written
    by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.  Was this song done by the Rolling
    Stones or did they sell it new to KISS?
    
    Jim
    

    Was that the price of the song or the title ? ;)

    Rolling Stones have a song called "2000 Light Years From Home".  Don't

Subject: Ex-KISS drummer settles tabloid suit
Date: Tue, 6 Apr 93 15:56:06 PDT

	LOS ANGELES (UPI) -- Peter Criss, former drummer of the '70s rock band
Kiss, settled his lawsuit Tuesday against the Star tabloid for
publishing stories claiming he was a homeless alcoholic.
	Criss's attorney, Antony Stuart, said the settlement was reached
shortly before attorneys were to give opening statements to the Los
Angeles Superior Court jury.
	The terms of the settlement were confidential, but Stewart said Criss
``is ecstatic about the settlement.''
	He said the Star must pay the damages within 10 days. Star attorneys
were not immediately available for comment.
	Stuart said the stories, published in January 1991, depicted Criss as
a ``homeless bum'' who had been aided by sitcom stars Roseanne and Tom
Arnold.
	Stuart said the homeless man was not Criss, but the magazine
published the stories anyway.
	Criss, meanwhile, has been living with his wife and daughter in their
Redondo Beach home and recording with ``Criss,'' his new band.
	Stuart said in the case he planned to present to the jury and Judge
Richard Hubbel, he would have shown the Star's and other tabloids' 
``anonymous sources'' often are reporters for competing tabloids who
sell tips they are unable to get published in their own magazines.
	Celebrities routinely complain about outrageous stories published in
weekly tabloids, but few go to court. The Arnolds received a settlement
last year from the National Enquirer, which printed a story claiming
they had severely damaged a rented house, leaving it a ``pig sty.''

I wonder what he settled for?

TIm

    A new coat and a pair of socks...

    They settled for a guest appearance in the In Living Color skit "This
    Old Box."

I heard a "live" KISS song on 103.1, the Underground, yesterday.  24 hours later
and I can't remember if it was Domino or Spit.  Does that mean Alive III is right
around the corner?  The station went right into another song so I didn't get a
chance to hear what the cut was off of.

    Yeah, Alive III is clates for a June release.
    
    
    Hey, do you play in DT by any chance?  ;')

Shhhhhhhh.....

DEC is only my side job...sort of like a hobby in my spare time ;-).  

Howard Stern will interview Gene and Paul this weekend on E.  (The
Entertainment Channel).  It should be on this Friday night at 10 if I
remember right.

    
    
    COOL!!!!

    Now there's about a perfect match for ya...

    
    Just got the Kiss Alive 3 CD last week and must say that it cranks!!
    They have a little bit of everything on this one.  From there beginings
    with Deuce to Detriot Rock City to I was made for Loving you to there 
    last hit Domino.   The CD has 16 songs all told and totals out to
    around 66 minutes of music.  No real big drum solos or quitar solos
    like past Kiss Alive albums.   If your a Kiss fan you'll liek this CD.
    
       Dan

>No real big drum solos or quitar solos
    
    Thank goodness, what an utter waste of tape/disc space.

    
    I love it! Great CD!

    I heard an intresting report about a Kiss tribute album that is due
    out in early 94. The report listed all the groups that would be doing
    Kiss songs. Among them Megadeth, Nine Inch Nails, The Lemonheads and
    get this, Garth Brooks being backed by Kiss themselves. I can't remem-
    ber others that were mentioned. Anyway, just an fyi

Heard a live version of Strutter on the radio this weekend.  Is that on the
AliveIII album?  I thought it sounded horrible compared to AliveI.

Kind of Lounge Lizard/Disco like...  

Tim

    Probably from their last umm..."club" tour.
    
    "Thank you all for coming out to the Holiday Inn tonight!  We're Kiss
     and we've got a great show for YOU!"
     

    "And don't forget,Folks.Tonights Drink Special is Cold Gin.
    Gene will be switching between the Bass and Piano This Evening.
    Please note the"Contribution Glass"Atop the Piano.Thank You..
    And now heres one you might remember...."

Sort of like Geddy's intro to Jacob's Ladder on Exit Stage Left by Rush...

    HEY! I resemble that remark!
    
    But the live version is really cool ... too bad they took Passage to
    Bangkok off the CD. La Villa ... is cool too.
    and what about ..... 
    
    sorry, I got carried away.

    it, and get baked.

Interesting article in today's Boton Globe on the tribute album.  Gene Simmons
says they give lots of money to charity but don't necessarily advertise it.  He
did offer to take some of Eddie Vedder's money to ease Eddie's troubled
conscience about being rich.

He also said that Marlboro offered to sponsor their latest tour.  Even though
that would have covered all their costs, Gene turned them down.  He didn't like
being associated with tobacco.  He felt if Kizz induced kids to start smoking
he'd feel too guilty...  Geez, what is this a conscience?  Anyway if this is
true I respect him a little more.

Tim

    
         Has anyone seen the cover picture on the Kiss My Ass
    tribute thing?  The family with KISS makeup on sitting
    around a table.  Notice that Ace's makeup thing ain't
    there.  Instead, there's some other version (of what, I
    don't know).
         I caught Ace talking to that idiot Liz Wild (sp?) on
    WAAF yesterday afternoon.  He was quick to inform the
    listening public that Gene and Paul didn't use Ace's face
    makeup on the cover because they would have had to dish
    some cash out his way!  Also, notice that every song on
    the tribute thing are the tunes that Ace didn't write on.
    Apparently, Ace received many a call from bands that 
    wanted to cover one of his tunes, or one that his name
    appeared on as a co-writer.  However, Paul and Gene felt
    that Ace's contribution as a co-founder and guitarist 
    didn't amount to snot.  Or does it have to do with $$$?
    
    Figure it out, Ace got screwed.
    
    Look for a new Ace Frehley solo thing early '95.  (Yes, 
    a label picked him up.  Again.)
    
    Kev --
    
    

Most of Ace's problems are self-induced from what I've heard.  I think if he's
right about the royalty thing, that stinks, but what songs would Ace have
written?  Rocket Ride?  Come on...

          Help with a disagreement between me and a Coworker will ya?
    
    Who is the lead Singer of Kiss?
    
    
    thanks Chap

    
    	Paul Stanley, mostly.
    
    	But Gene and Ace did some of the vocals also.  And I wouldn't
    	doubt that Peter Chriss did a couple songs [maybe "Beth"?].
    
    	Ace is out of the band, so he's not doing any of their vocals
    	now.
    

    
    but for all practical purposes, paul did 95% of the vocals.
    

    
    
       Thanks guys. Proved my point exactly.
    
    I figured Gene MIGHT_have done 20% if that?
    
    
    Chap

    Hey, far be it from me to nit pick about this.... 8-)
    
    Go on, nit pick away....
    
    Alright then..
    
    I seem to recall that for every Kiss album, Gene has been the main
    singer on at least 4 songs, sometimes more if the album as in recent
    times has had more than 10 songs on it. Also there have been a number
    of duets between Paul and Gene although not many.
    
    I think Paul has the better voice but Genes songs I tend to enjoy more,
    and I on every new Kiss album I tend listen out for his first.
    
    Stopped nit picking now....
    
    Yes, thank you, nuff said...
    
    
    Giles.

    This Isn't Nit_Pickin.
    I Call it The Truth!!!

    
    Paul Stanley, with some singing by Gene Simmons and/or Ace Frehley (or
    was he just backup? Been a long time since I saw 'em (with makeup!!)).
    
    Mike
    

Gene does sing quite the bit.. but Paul Stanley is the "Lead" 
singer.

Whit-

    AGREED!

why thank you..

;')

    Anytime Baby! ;}

    
    I couldn't have said it better Giles.
    
    Gene's solo album is still one of my all time favourites.
    
    Flip

    Radioactive is a cool song, but overall I thought Gene's solo lp was
    naff.  "When you wish upon a star?"  gimme a freakin break!
    
    Probably the BEST album overall was Paul's, but I like the songs on
    Ace's better.  New York Groove rocks!

    New York Groove ROCKS!

    
    Gene's album appeals to me because of the humour not for musical merit.
    
    

    Anyone got the "oh,no! It`s a Kiss covers album!"?
    
    It`s very good. Especially the Coffin Break (er,or is it Coffin Nails)
    version of Beth. Very fast and very punk raaawk. I think Nirvana do
    a cover version of some song or other. (It`s been a while since I
    played it).
    
    
    

    
    	Is that "Kiss My *ss"?
    

    Nope. That`s a new one,I think.
    
    This one came out a few years ago (it must of been,as I`ve got it on
    vinyl). Approx 91/92 ish. 
    
    The gatefold sleeve is a picture of loads of Kiss memorabilia,like
    dolls and lunch boxes etc.

    Theres my micky!

    
    	Listened to Paul Stanley's album yesterday ... not bad.  Sounds
    	like a laid-back KISS album, basically.
    
    	Bruce Kulick plays guitar, and Carmine Appice plays some drums.
    

    
    	Listened to most of Gene Simmons' album today ... better than
    	Paul's.  "When You Wish Upon a Star" [which is the last song on
    	the CD, but I HAD to hear it 1st!!] is pretty good, considering
    	that Gene doesn't have the best voice in the world.
    
    	Strange that Gene doesn't play bass on this one ... he plays
    	some of the guitars, electric and acoustic.
    
    	And his guest list is a veritable "who's who" of the enterta-
    	ment business, including:
    
    	Kate Sagal ["Married with Children", and also has her own album]
    	Rick Nielsen [Cheap Trick]
    	Cher
    	Janis Ian
    	Helen Reddy
    
    	If I remember I'll bring it in and enter 'em all.
    

    My impressions of the KIZZ Solo lp's:
    
    Paul's -- Most "Kiss sounding" of the 4, and ties for best album with
     		ACE's imvho.  Some really great tunes here.
    
    ACE's -- great departure album.  The singing isn't all half bad, but
    		the tunes are KILLER!  And ACE's players can't be beat ... 
    		top notch!
    
    Gene's -- Radioactive was always such a killer tune, but after that I
    		felt the album lost direction and balls.  Even with the help 
    		of people like Joe Perry, Rick Nielson, etc., it just doesn't 
    		rock like you'd expect it to.  I though this would have been 
    		an album full of "God of Thunder"-type tunez.
    
    Peter's -- I think this solo album is the reason they booted him from
    		the band! 8^)  actually, he was the first to leave, and
    		is the music on this album is any indication of what he was
    		actually into listening to, it's no surprise why he left!
    
    While we're on the subject --
    
    
    			BUCK'S TOP 5 FAV KIZZ ALBUMS
    			============================
    
    1) Rock n Roll Over
    2) Alive I
    3) Hotter than Hell 
    4) Love Gun
    5) Dressed to Kill

    No DeStRoYeR,Buck???

    Maybe I'd replace Love Gun with Destroyer...

I saw the Destroyer tour...  They actually did Beth (eeww!)

Destroyer was the beginning of the end of KISS for me...  I thought Alive I
was the greatest and Destroyer was just too fancy.

The sound was so loud you had to put your hands around your mouth and yell into
the ear of the person sitting next to you to be heard.  They had to play about
30 seconds of a song so you'd know which one it was.  The sound system was
definitely driven to 11...  Paul even used most of the between song stuff from
Alive I...  Sort of like a Mystic Powers show.  (when keith rattled off the
famous sweaty teddy quote from Double Live Gonzo)

And we were sitting in the back of the Montreal Forum a really big place.

The fire marshall must have been asleep when they described the show because
I have never seen some much flash power/flames/explosions.  The next time
I saw them they were toned down quite a bit

I have pictures from the Love Gun Tour...  I brought a 35mm camera and a
80-200mm lens and could zoom in on part of the stage even from the other end of
the forum.  If I had access to a scanner they'd be pretty cool to scan in.

I've got killer pictures of Rush from the 3rd row with the same camera on
the Permanent Waves tour.

TIm

    
    	I found most of the KISS catalog in the bargain bin at Newbury
    	Comics, so I bought 6 more ... I'm up to 17 now.
    
    	The self-titled album has to be their best, not counting greatest
    	hits packages.  5 out of the 10 songs are big hits for them.
    
    	I still have to buy the "Alive" albums [all 3], "Smashes ...",
    	"Animalize", "The Elder" and a couple others [I believe].
    
    	Does anyone have a discography?
    

I saw one in one of the Kiss webpages on yahoo.com

    Hey man,,, its on the internet..........

    Shawn,
    
    I have "Smashes...", want it?  I never listen to it!!

    Lets see if we can create a KISSography here...
    
    Kiss
    Hotter Than Hell
    Dressed To Kill
    Alive 
    Destroyer
    Rock n Roll Over
    Love Gun
    Alive II
    Double Platinum
    Solo Albums --
    	Gene
    	Paul
    	Ace
    	Peter
    Unmasked
    
    (then it gets foggy for me, I lost interest.  I know there is Creatures
    of the Night, and Alive III left to go, but...  ?!?!?)

	This discography was based on the earlier versions 1.0-1.3 of the
	KISSARMY discographies by Andreas Hjarpne and on a different 
	discography written by Mark Kennedy. The two versions were merged, 
	modified and updated by Alex Carranza.

	Index:

	1) Album ratings: These ratings were taken from the 15 October, 1993
	   issue of Goldmine magazine. Each of the original members rated the
	   albums they worked on. These were combined with the results of
	   a poll of KISSARMY members taken by David Clayton Tyson in February
	   of 1994. The results were averaged and offer a somewhat useful
	   basis for determining how good or bad each album is. Rating goes
	   from 0 stars to worst to 5 stars for best.

	2) RIAA: It states current album sales certification by the Recording
	   Industry Association of America. Gold signifies sales of 500,000
	   units and Platinum sales of 1,000,000. 

	3) Billboard chart peak--pretty self explanatory, really.

	4) Track listing uses the following: "A1" to signify track number 1
	   on side A (or side one). This is used in all albums released prior
	   to 1983, when the first KISS compact disc was released. From then
	   on tracks are listed just as they appear on the CD.

	This discography is divided in the following sections:

		Section One:      KISS ALBUMS
		Section Two:      SINGLES & EPS
		Section Three:    COMPILATIONS & SOUNDTRACKS
		Section Four:     VIDEOS
		Section Five:     TRIBUTE ALBUMS
		Section Six:	  PETER CRISS DISCOGRAPHY
		Section Seven:    ACE FREHLEY DISCOGRAPHY
		Section Eight:    VINNIE VINCENT DISCOGRAPHY
		Section Nine:     MARK ST. JOHN DISCOGRAPHY
		Section Ten:      BOB AND BRUCE KULICK DISCOGRAPHIES
		Section Eleven:   ERIC SINGER DISCOGRAPHY

  KISS were asked to record "Kissin' Time" as a radio promo for radio station
  WSHE in FT. Lauderdale, Florida, (which was running a kissing contest at
  the time). Track was added to the album by Neil Bogart against the band's
  wishes. Early 1980s PolyGram re-issues replace studio version of "Nothin' 
  To Lose" with live one from ALIVE! (007).

  "Legends Never Die" (the drum tracks were from an unfinished demo left 
  over from _Creatures of the Night_). Ace Frehley plays lead guitar on 
  "Bump And Grind" (his first appearance on vinyl after leaving KISS).  
  Several songs were written by KISS members or KISS alumni.  "Thief In 
  The Night" was later recorded by KISS and released on CRAZY NIGHTS (041).

    For all you KISS fans:
    
        The four original members of KISS reunited for the first time
    in like 15 years for a taping of an upcoming "Unplugged" gig.  I'm
    not exact on when it will air, but apparently Ace was thrilled with
    this deal as well as the first-rate treatment he and Peter Criss 
    have been getting from Gene & Paul.  I think those two have finally
    realized that they ain't doing jack-sh#t and it's about friggin time
    this thing happened.
    
        For the songs: again, not sure.  However, I heard Ace (and the
    rest of the line-up) originally wanted to do "Shock Me" (cool!), but
    Ace wasn't groovin' the "strict unplugged rules and regulations
    concerning electronics and effects," so who knows.
    
    Still, a very cool deal for KISS fans.
    Kev --
    

    
      WOW !!!
    
      I LOve the Ole Kiss !!!  I can not wait to begin taping the MTV
    Unplugged event .....YES !
    
    /Sax
    

    
    RE: -1
    
    Yeah, me too.  I was thinking:  how long until the boys cash-in
    BIGTIME on a full-blown reunion tour?  Maybe some of that makeup
    will smooth out Crater-Ace, ooops, that's Space-Ace's complexion.
    
    Kev --
    

    
     Hum...I didn't mind crater_Ace....Always Loved Chris, enjoyed
    Gene's toungue...and Peter was kool !
    
    

    
      Why did I mention Chris for ?  There was a chris at one time
    wasn't there ?  Ug !
    
     What would be kool is an unplugged version of Beth, but change a 
    few words and have it go like this :
    
    
    
       Nicole I hear you calling
    As OJ slashed your throat
    I wish I was there to help you
    but I was still passed out ka- ka- Cold
    
      Hum...actually that's kinda Sick....that's something that Wierd
    Al Yankavich ?(Sp?) would do.
    
    /Detroit Rock City
    

Kizz unplugged doesn't sound so interesting to me but I really liked em back
when the original 4 were together.

A reunion tour would probably do well

    RE: -2
    
    Wow!!  Now we're talkin'!!!
    
    

    
    	I'm with Tim ... I want REAL KISS music, not that "watered down"
    	unplugged crap.
    

    A reuinion tour with makeup, costumes and a large stage with flames,
    etc. would make them a lot of money!!

    I would LOVE a reunion!!!!!
    
    Im pysched about the Unplugged.... cant wait !!!! 
    
    SueJ

Although Buck might disagree, hearing Ace playing acoustic without any
distortion, efx etc to cover up his playing might be painful...

    
    	KISS will be on AOL tonight at 8PM.
    

    >	KISS will be on AOL tonight at 8PM.
    
    Damn -- watch, I'll have to work tonight....

    
    Kizz Unplugged is tonight at 9pm!
    
    Tape it MuffiN!
    
    SueJ

So who watched the Unplugged special last night?

I saw the second half.  It was painful to watch them do 2 awful ballads.  I was
just about to turn it off when out walks Ace and Peter.  So they do Beth pretty
well - although I don't like that song.  Then they get the other guitarist and
drummer and do (Geez - I forgot the song again- it was on Alive I, someone help
me out here) and of course, Rock and Roll All Nite.  I thought they did those
pretty well.

In fact (Buck take note) I thought Ace was in pretty good form and was much more
interesting to listen to than the new guitarist.

I did think that Ace had a passing resemblance to prc.  Am I the only one to
notice this.  Not for the DAFS, just the eyes and hair.  

Tim

    
    	So the original line-up was there?
    
    	Maybe I should have taped it after all.
    

Only for the last 15 minutes.  

    Tim,
    
    Got To Choose is the song you're looking for from Alive (I).
    
    I was sort of irked that Peter and Ace played ALONG WITH Eric and
    Bruce (the new dudes) -- I was hoping for a REPLACEMENT.  Such was
    not the case.
    
    All in all, KIZZ sounded very good.  They did a killer version of 
    Goin' Blind!!  If this show pops up on a re-run, check it out!

    Is the "new guitarist" Bruce Kulick?
    
    He played with one of my all-time favorite Jersey bar bands, The Good
    Rats.
    
    And... he sucked.   He just struck me as incredibly "generic".  Rarely
    venturing out from pentatonic box playing.   Definitely the WRONG guy
    for the Good Rats.
    
    And now this guy has instructional videos out????   "How to sound like
    everyone else" ????
    
    	db

Nope it was Nothing to Lose  You just bumped my brain cell and I remembered

Yes, Bruce Kulick was the replacement guy.  He looked like he fell out of
Wayne's World.

No Stairway to Heaven

Tim

    I Just Thought of Some_Thang...
    If All The Original_Members of The Band Got Back Together fer A Major
    Tour and Wore The Old Make_Up...It Could be Called..
     The"Kiss and MakeUp"Tour.
    
    
        Crazy_Not_p.t'ed_Al       Steal_It,if it's new..

    
    	I got "Asylum" from my sister ... 2 more to go and I'll be done.
    	And BTW, this is a very good album.
    
    	Is "Killers" hard to find?  None of the Westboro/Shrewsbury
    	music stores have it.
    

    Killers is only available as an import.  The japanese version has
    more songs than the german version.  Killers had some previously 
    unreleased material, available on either version, BTW.

    
    	Is it worth the extra $10 to get 2 extra songs?  $30 vs. $20.
    
    	Probably, eh?
    
    	And is this a "Greatest Hits" CD?  Sounds like it would be,
    	but CDNow doesn't list song titles.
    

    I'd get the german version.  The two extra songs are available on 
    'Music from the Elder', so if you have that you won't be missing
    anything.  I wanted Killers for the 3-4 unreleased songs.

    
    	Sounds good ... thanks!!
    

    btw, 19.189 contains the song listing for 'Killers'.

    
    	You're a regular plethora of information there, Steve.
    
    	8^)
    

    That's 'cause I knew I'd seen this in here before!

    
    	OK, then you're a regular plethora of aging memories.
    
    	8^)
    
    	"Killers" is on order from CDNow ... should be here in 2-4 weeks.
    

    I Watched A_Special on The A&E Channel Lasted_Nite Which Spot_Lighted
    The Achievments of Stan Lee(MARVEL Comics)..
    They Interviewed Simmons..He's A_Fan and MARVEL has Produced 2_Comic_
    
    Magazines Starin KiZZ.The Thang that Stuck_Out in my Mind that He Said
    was"Hey MA!Remember All those Comix_Books That you Threw_Out when I was
    A_Kid??  Well...Heres Some with me in Em".
    
    Also Brings to Mind that Time when He and Stanley were on The
    Oprha_Show..Of_Course she had to ask About the Lenght_Of_His_Tongue.
    His Answer was Kindda Like..If I was to Reach my tounge out to you
    we would become much Better_friends."
    
      Crazy_Gotta_Luv_Em_Al

    
    	My sister bought "Kiss My Ass" for me, and I've listened to 4
    	of the songs so far:
    
    
    	"Deuce" - Lenny Kravitz
    
    		Good cover.  Not completely faithful to the original,
    		in that it lacks some of the "crunch"
    
    	"Hard Luck Woman" - Garth Brooks
    
    		Excellent ... simple as that.  You'd think you were
    		listening to the original.  [Believe it or not.]
    
    	"She" - Anthrax
    
    		Excellent ... simple as that.  You'd think you were
    		listening to the original.
    
    	"Christine Sixteen" - Gin Blossoms
    
    		Sounds like The Gin Blossoms, but a very good cover.
    
    
    	and I started listening to
    
    
    	"Black Diamond" - Yoshiki
    
    		Look out, Yanni ... whoever this Yoshiki is, [s]he's
    		amazing.  Got about 2-3 minutes into the song and had
    		to get out of the car, so I didn't hear the whole thing,
    		but it appears to be completely instrumental [new-age].
    

    
    	"Killers" came in Friday or Saturday ... 1 week total!!
    
    	I haven't listened to it yet ... it's in the car now.
    

    
    Rumors are abound with the original members getting back together and
    doing a two month North American tour that is suppose to be the same as
    the KISS Alive II tour from '77-'78 (or there abouts).
    All the original members are said to be interested and they are even
    gonna be in costumes and make-up!! 
     
    Has anyone else hear about this?? There is a press conference scheduled
    for sometime next week.
    
    Man, I hope it's true and not rumor. I'd love to see 'em the way the
    used to be..... like goin' in a time warp....
    
    Dave

    Will they still breath fire?  
    
    /jen

Umm, having seen Plant and Page this spring which was an absolute highlight of
my concert seeing life - I will add:


You can never go back...

I might add that I did enjoy some of the Unplugged show they did


Tim

If I ever get access to a scanner (and figure out what to do with it) I've got
some killer photos I took during the Love Gun tour...  That'd be as good a
reason as any to create a web page

They were shot from the first row off the floor with a 200mm lens using
Ektachrome 400 slide film pushed to 800 ASA.

I've also got some pics of Rush taken with the same camera from 3rd row center.

    
    I'd go and see them in tour if they did the make up etc!Just for
    interest sake.

    I think I'd like to see them play in their make-up.Just for the
    interest value.

    ATTENTION!!!

    It has been confirmed by a few members of the band and on some east
    coast radio stations that KISS will be reuniting for a tour this
    summer.  That will be Paul, Gene, Peter, and Ace -- in makeup and full
    costumes touring with the 1977 Alive II stage.  
    
    A press conference is scheduled within the next month after they get
    things pegged down.
    

    Man,I Saw that 1977 tour at Providence,RI and I'll never Forget it!!
    
    
      Crazy_Never_Forgot_How_The_Front_Left_Tire_On_My_Car_Was_Missing_
       After_The_Show_Also_Al

Wasn't the Alive II stage 5x5 Marshall 4-cabs on each side (or something like
that?)

When I had the album I remember the stage filled the inner record liner with
amps and flames.

Tim

    People are wondering why Im screaming... 
    
    EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    
    yes yes yes !

    The Alive II stage, in a nutshell, was the 5x5 Marshall cabs on either
    side of the stage, with two large stairways going up either side.
    In the middle was Peter Criss' drum riser, which rose 40' off the
    stage during his drum solo.
    
    This stage also had the elevation platforms for Gene, Paul and Ace.
    
    And yes, there was much fire and smoke to be seen!!!

    cool...!
    
    
    I'll go for the interest value.
    
    hey Al,how the hell did you loose a wheel?
    
    
    					Ian

    Has anyone heard if it's going to be a US only tour or are they going
    to Europe to?
    
    /hagar who's been listening to them for a couple of days at home now.

    Also seen during the 1997 show:
    
    - Gene Simmons breathing fire
    - Gene Simmons spitting blood
    - Ace Frehley and his "smoking" guitar
    

Buck,

Where all of those Marshall's actually used?  If so wouldn't the sound level
be off the scale?  I figured some where used and some where just props.

When I saw them on the Destroyer tour the "only" had 10 amps per
side.  That had to be the loudest (and most distorted) show I ever saw.  I'm
sure some of the hearing damage I have now is from that very show.

Tim

    
    
    	You psychic Buck?  =)
    
    
    	I do believe I see an HM raid on this show........
    

    Just remembered -- the 1977 show was also the show where they dumped a
    TON of ballons and confettii on the crowd during Rock N Roll All Night
    (and party every day).
    

    Tim -- no, they were mostly for show (as were the 35 stacks which
    adorned Judas Priests 1982 stage setup).
    
    If I remember correctly, only 4 cabs were used per guitarist.

    
    
    This will be the COMEBACK of the year and the Reunion of 
    The Heavy Metal Crew !!!!

    
    Loudest show I ever attended was Motorhead in Edinburgh.....I was deaf
    for about 2 days.Excellant show,though! 8)

I have pictures (actually a box of 36 slides) of confetti falling on Ace & Paul
I took on the Love Gun.  Some of those pictures came out pretty well.  Another
great show of Peter Criss on the drums up in the air with the KISS logo blazing
overhead.  Even one with a pinwheel flinging sparks right next to Peter.

Anyone got a slide projector?  (I know - yesterday's technology)  I should have
some of the best ones made into prints and scan them.

I've been playing with the scanner upstairs in our building.  I might be able to
get some of these onto my Web page someday - although I bet they'll have to be
black and white - color seems to be too speckled.

    Even if they did use all 25 amps per side it wouldn't be as loud
    as you expect.  Compared to your loudest concert you said where
    they had 10 amps per side it would only by about 4 decibels louder.
    2 times as much power means 3dB in sound level.   The ear senses
    sound logaritmically...not linearly ;)
    
    [spin] [spin]                         
    
    of course legally your only supposed to be exposed to 115 dB of sound
    for less than 15 minutes a day and most concerts are at least that
    loud for 3+ hours...  
    
    Shane, huh ? what'd ya say ?? speak up

    
    	Ummm, Shane, you say that the concert would be twice as loud as
    	the loudest concert he's gone to so far, but then you say it's
    	not as loud as he'd expect?
    
    	Sounds like it'd be quite loud to me.
    

    
    Thanks for the info Buck.  Good deal.
    
    Kev --
    

Shawn,

What shane was trying to say is that a "just noticable" volume increase would be
3dbs.  That requires twice the power.  Most humans can't discern volume 
differences of less than 3 dbs.

10dbs is "twice as loud" but requires 10x the power.

here is what I remember for db levels

whisper - 40-50
normal voice 60-70
lawnmower   80-90
jackhammer ~110
airport runway ~130

As you can see a 10db difference is quite a bit louder.


Human eyes, ears are both logrithmic.

and 115 db is plenty loud...

    I have to disagree.
    
    Remember, the amps are 5 cabs high.  Example:  If you used two cabinets
    side-by-side, you have both supplying the same output.  However, if
    you stack the cabinets, you get a 6db increase in sound pressure.
    (x + y = z).  The more cabinets you stack on top of each other, the
    more they severe to multiply the sound waves being produced by the
    cabinets.

    You have a point, but it doesn't *quite* add up to 6db like you say.
    The issue isn't necessarily how they are stacked but how the waves
    constructively add to produce more sound pressure.  For instance having
    a speaker in the center of a room will produce a certain amount of
    sound pressure.  But placing that speaker in the corner of a room
    facing out will produce more sound pressure because the walls "focus"
    the waves toward the front.  This is called 'directivity'.  I don't
    claim to be an expert or know-it-all by any means...in fact I may 
    just be full-of-it ;)  Just thought I'd throw in some techy comments
    on how much 'louder' it would sound is all...laters...

    It appears that KISS management is looking for a well known band to
    open for them on the North American tour.
    
    They have asked Motley Crue to open. The origianl line up, with Vince.
    
    Further bulletins as events warrent.

    You know, I kinda prefer them WITHOUT the make-up.
    
    I think that Gene is a rather handsome man and I don't like seeing him
    hide behind all that make-up.....
    
    BUT, I will definitely go to see them whether they wear it or not. ;-)

    reporting what i found to be true...you're right....kiss definitely 
    wouldnt' be kiss without him.....and i thought he was almost sexy in that 
    movie with tom selleck...'runaway'..i think it was called....but i found 
    him to be very obnoxious...i'm sure he was doing an act for everyone but
    that's my opinion of his behaviour on that day....so..there...;')..../k

    
    	"Runaway" was a pretty good movie, I thought.
    
    	That blonde [Cynthia Rhodes] was cute, too.  And an early
    	screen appearance for Kirstie Alley, as the secretary who
    	was being "terrorized" by the office robot.

    	Yeah, yeah ... someone just pointed out the typo in another

    	don't want to change it now or the .COM file will fail on

    ...believe me shawn, you have nothing to say to me or anyone else for

    " Runaway " was a pretty good film.   I have it on video.
    Had to buy it when I found out Gene was in it.
    
    I've seen a couple other of his films, too.  He is a good actor,
    except he makes one UGLY hermaphrodite.....EEEEEWWWWWW....
    ( in " Never Too Young To Die " ).
    
    It's funny how Paul Stanley never got into acting....
    
    His role in " Kiss Meets The Phantom " was NOT what I would call
    ' acting '....

    
    	"Never Too Young to Die" ... forgot about that one.  That was
    	the one with John Stamos and Vanity [yow!!].
    
    	Not very memorable, or maybe it's been too long since I've
    	seen it.
    

How about Ace in the Phantom movie?  Does he say anything more than ha ha???

    
    	Even the "ha ha" was probably dubbed when he couldn't get it by
    	the 17th take.

    re: Gene being married.
    
    He is married to X-playboy playmate of the year Shannon Tweed, who is
    Canadian.
    They have been married for over 10 years now. On their 10th
    anniversary, he bought her a 15 carat diamond ring.
    Sweet eh? Coming from a demon and all......
    
    Dave
    

    
    	Shannon Tweed?  I didn't know that.
    
    	She's not bad at all.
    

    I never woulda guessed.

    They're actually not married, but have been together over
    ten years.

    Is Shannon Tweed the one that stars in all those NC-17 movies you
    see on the shelves of your local videostore?
    
    It seems like there's a new one of those movies every time I walk
    in there!

    
    	Yes, I'll go find a filmography for her.
    
    	Did you see "Hot Dog", the skiing movie with David Naughton?
    	Shannon was in that as "the other woman".
    

    
    	She was born in '57, so she's about 39 now.  And she was 8 when
    	she was on "Days of Our Lives".

    I'm not sure.  Is it the one that had three Steve Morse tunes in
    the soundtrack?  There was a "skiing movie" that they had Morse
    adapt some of his tunes for and (not surprisingly) I did see that.

    ( including Ace & Peter )....It's really cool. :-)

If I heard right this morning STP will be doing a costume tribute to KISS as a
warmup act.  Apparently they consider KISS to be one of their stonger influences
when they were kids.  STP wanted the slot for part of the tour for the honor of
opening for KISS.

    Can anyone confirm a rumor that Motley Crue with the original lineup
    and makeup were gonna open for them during part of this tour? 
    
    Whit-
    
    

I heard STP, not Motley Cure

Hmmm Motley Cure, what type of music would they play?

deep, brooding music about babes and cars

    
    
    YEAH! ;')
    
    I heard they were only doing part of the tour.. But, I figured if they
    were gonna get the original lineup, and makeup, they'd do the whole
    thing.. 
    
    

    
    	W O W,  Crue together, with their Old Make-Up as well....Man
    that would be the BEST, BETTER then Kiss....Man I'm pumped, PLEASE
    don't let this be a vicious rumor...
    
    	Bobby T

    
     Just ask Sonny Bono, he'll tell ya....Cher is with Gene
    again....Boy...her video was gnads, the battleship was amazing...
    
    

    Say WHAT ?????????  I'm confused....%-}  ( not unlike usual...) ;-)
    
    
    

    
     Huh ???  %^)  What did you say ????
    
    

    
    	Kit, don't listen to Sax.  We try not to.
    
    	Would you dump Shannon Tweed for Cher??  Well, I guess that
    	question doesn't have the same impact when asked of a female,
    	but you get my point anyways.

    excellent excellent !!!!!

    I heard the ticket prices are going to be silly. Everybody knows how
    the Eagles tix looked (the tour that never happened due to Joe Walsh
    and his stomach) for a terrible album. The demand for KISS tickets,
    particularly the original lineup in makeup, is so great, the fans are
    so rabid, that these guys can get away with charging $90 a pop, before
    the scalpers get their hands on them. 
    
    
    dave

    That was Glenn Frey & his stomach...and the tour wasn't cancelled. 
    Only certain dates were missed.  They made it to Great Woods in
    Mass., and the show was great!

    
    $90 a ticket is a bit steep for one band.I may pass...
    
    
    
    				Ian

    I'd pay $200 a pop to see the 1977 KIZZ tour again -- history in the
    making, folks.
    
    Besides, did yo uever stop to think what it must COST them to
    produce a show of this magnitude??

    
    Buck,
        I think the Kiss lads aren't hurting for money and could afford to
    spend a couple of dollars of their own cash and not rip off the public.
    
    
    						Ian

    
    RE: -1
    
    Wishful thinking there Ian.  It is a rare entertainer that is into
    charity even when it is FOR a charity.   I was pretty well disgusted
    when I heard Dionne Warwick talking about how she was perfectedly 
    justified demanding a limo/fancy dressing room/expensive food as part
    of the 'that's what friends are for' tour bit.
    
    /jen

    	I would pay $90 to see Kiss, I would NEVER even consider paying
    $10 to see the Eagles. I think there are a few differences between
    the two though. I mean Kiss is coming out with their original line-up
    and their old stage and their original costumes. And for people
    like my self who were to young to attend an original Kiss concert,
    this is a great opportunity. And as well as getting the Kiss concert,
    your also getting the Stone Temple Pilots, the way I look at it
    $45 bucks each...The Eagles for 2 or 3 hours straight, that should
    be punishment, I know that would deture me from doing bad things...
    
    	However, if the concert tickets are much more, I would think
    they might be pushing it. But then again, I'll betcha every show
    is sold out...And a few notes back had a good point, the cost of
    putting on a show like this, has got to be pretty steep. I wonder
    if Kiss gets $1 for every $3 made, like Shane...*))

    Proving once more that those who do not learn from history are doomed
    to repeat it.
    
    This ain't "making history", this is rehashing history.

    As you are fond of saying... Oh puh-leese!
    
    	db

    
    It will be Truly History Revisited...

    I heard the reason they're touring in make-up and full costume...
    
    Is cause they wanna cover up all those wrinkles and liver spots!
    
    And I can't believe I'm writting this, but...I agree with Bobby T!
    
    I was always to young to go with my brother and sisters to see them as
    they were intended. I've only seen them once, during the "Revenge" tour
    and I went fairly mentally watching that one...I don't even wanna think
    of what's gonna happen for this one!  And STP is just the cherry on
    top!

    ...well, as an elder statesman who's seen KISS 7 times in their
    glory daze (1975 thru 1978), I cannot wait fer this show!
    Just think: a bunch of old, beer-belly former KISS Army wackos
    and a bunch of young, skinny teens and Gen-Xers....
    
    should be a wild time fer sure!  
    
    I also read that tickets will be running the full gammet, soo
    hopefully everyone will be accomodated....
    
    mac

    
    I saw them in Providence with New England back in either '78 or '79. I
    think it was '79. Cool show, we weren't that close to the stage but did
    get confetti all over us, and I think my buddy caught one of the Kizz
    Army patched that came outta the big disco ball up above that had them
    in it. Don't remember much of the entire show, peter criss with the
    rising drum kit with big cat head underneath, rotating left-to-right
    during his solo, Ace with his flashing lights in guitar as it was taken
    up high via cable and he comes out with same guitar and shoots
    something from it that heads for hanging guitar and blows it up, Gene
    spitting blood (no Axe bass....that I can remember him playing), then
    being hauled via cables up to catwalk above stage singing "God of
    Thunder" tune. Oh yeah, spitting a couple flames too! Don't remember
    Paul doing anything special, except look like a pretty-boy (as usual).
    
    Cool show, almost got my toe(s) broken from idiot next to me when
    patches came down....he almost got a broken nose too! And Kizz wuz all
    in makeup and wearing them high-heeled 7" platform shoes! It was a good
    show, but I can't justify paying that much for tickets, not to help
    them get rich, rehash old memories, etc...Now if I was given a pair or
    two, I'd go! I spent $45 for Queensryche back in I think their '91
    Building Empires tour (last row center section in Centrum, section 2)
    and it was PERFECT! Only stood twice, had complete view of stage, and
    was plenty close enough (clothes shaking from bass and drums!). Paid
    $88 for a pair to last QR show last year, EXCELLENT show, worth IMO as
    I am a fan of them and Type O (another reason why I went).
    
    But, I can't see coughing up that much for Eagles or Kizz or basically
    anyone else, even The Who or Pink Floyd. My opinion on ticket prices...
    
    later daze
    
    

    -1
    
    That was the 1979 show.

    I was never really into Kiss.  $90 a ticket ?!  Not for Kiss.
    Maybe if VanHalen ever toured again with DLR...well no not even
    then cause Diamond Dave just sucks now.  
    
    I'm sure it's costing them a lot to put the show together.
    Makeup and high heels aren't cheap.  I learned that from shopping
    with JJ.  The reason that tickets will probably be so outrageous
    is because there are probably a bajillion people in on the deal that
    are out to make a buck.  Not *you* Buck, I was meaning a dollar ;)
    I'm sure that people will pay whatever price they set though...I just
    hope you guys aren't dissapointed.  
    
    Shane, who wonders if they'll spit fire and stuff too..

    ...i think i'll wait for it on hbo..i'm sure they'll be filming this
    for posterity..and for the video dollars.......BTW...could I make a request
    of some of you "spelling impaired"...please refrain from using words
    that you dont' know how to spell.........thank you......../k.

    Kiss Press Conference, 4/16/96, U.S.S. Intrepid Air, Sea and Space
    Museum, New York, NY
    
    "We still look as silly now as we did 15 years ago", was how Ace
    Frehley described his thoughts on being back in makeup at the 4/16 
    press conference on the Intrepid Museum in N.Y.  Following up their 
    Grammy appearance, Kiss announced the much awaited start of their 
    upcoming reunion tour.  Gene and Paul had much to say, while Ace 
    and Peter were slightly less verbose.
    
    
    Among the concrete information revealed:
    
     - Kiss will play a warm-up date at the K-Rock Weenie Fest in Los
       Angeles on June 15th.  Their first official tour date is June 
       28th at Tiger Stadium in Detroit.  Stone Temple Pilots will be 
       opening.
    
     - A "very special compilation album" containing unreleased live
       recordings "from the era of the first two live albums" will be 
       released in June.  Details TBA.  Paul described it as a 
       commemorative of "Alive I and Alive II together with never 
       before heard live tracks from that period, all stuff that comes 
       out of the vaults."
    
     - The band will headline the Monsters of Rock in England.  No date 
       was mentioned.
    
    
    Among the bushes beat around :
    
     - Ticket prices.  All Paul Stanley would say was that  "...we're
       trying to make sure that ticket prices really range from very 
       low, up to whatever...  We want to make sure that... there's a 
       ticket for everybody."  (The current ticket price rumors are: 
       $28, $55, and $85).
    
     - The set list.  At first, Gene said that they would be sticking 
       to "the classic Kiss."  But when someone asked him whether they 
       would play songs from the solo albums, he negotiated a bit:  
       "We're open to all kinds of things... We're going to give the 
       fans exactly what they want.  If they want to hear Rock And Roll 
       All Nite that's what we'll do.  If they want to hear songs from 
       a certain period, we will do that.  We're here for the fans."  
       Paul commented that this show would not be a clone of the Love 
       Gun/Alive II tour, but rather a show that is "loosely based" 
       upon it.  "This [show] makes that look small time."  He then 
       added that the show would be at least two hours long.
    
     - Future of the original Kiss.  When asked what the future is for 
       the band, Ace and Gene responded simply that they're going on a 
       world tour, while Peter added "a lot of tours, a long time!"  
       Paul commented "We're committed to this for a year, two years, 
       whatever it takes.  And that'll be the first tour."  When the 
       subject came up again later though, Paul sounded more guarded.  
       "We can't make promises.  We've got to stay true to ourselves 
       and stay honest...  We don't make any promises.  We're going to 
       do this as long as it feels good.  And you'll know the day it 
       doesn't."
    
       Gene described Kiss' intentions:  "We're going to show every 
       band how the big boys do it... We're going to approach this like 
       Kisstory, a page at a time.  And the story will unfold before 
       your eyes."
    

    Not sure if I'll check it out, maybe just to laugh at Stanley shaking
    his backside. I usually hate arena shows, you might as well get the
    inevitable pay-per-view special.
    
    These guys have always been about marketing. I have a friend who is
    deep into KISS, he has all the vids they have released plus an
    impressive collection of bootlegs. On one of the "official" tapes, they
    say they dropped the fire/blood/makeup thing because they were singing
    these songs about sex, and they'd go to their shows and little kids
    would be running around, and that wasn't their target audience. Yet, on
    the same tape, they show ads for the products that were available at
    the time: KISS dolls, KISS makeup kits, KISS boardgames, all stuff for
    little kids with little kids in the commercials!!! My buddy has a comic
    book that KISS supposedly put some of their blood in the ink. KISS has
    always struck me as a band that tries to make money anywhere they can
    get it. This tour will NOT be for the fans, it will be for the fans'
    money. At least the Sex Pistols are honest about that.

    Phantom of The Park was ridiculous. It got cool when KISS showed up,
    but they aren't even around for the first hour!!! I like when the robot
    KISS guys were playing "HOTTER THEN HELL", but were singing "rip, rip,
    rip and destroy" and the fans were rioting. My friend bought that
    video, too. He would buy a piece of horse manure if it said KISS on the
    side.

    
    	I have that video, so watch it.
    
    	8^)
    

    Start the tape now, and I'll be over in an hour when it gets
    interesting.

    My favorite line from PHANTOM:
    
    
    Paul has knocked the head off of a robot-monkey-man thing, and (ace?)
    looks at him and says "They all lose their heads over you, Paul."

    ...." It's a cosmic forcefield that protects our talismen...."
         
                            Quoth Gene
    
    

    ..."you're looking for someone, and it isn't KISS..."
    
    
    				Quoth Paul

    While I'm at it, why doesn't Paul get a cover-up of that cheesy rose on
    his bicep? Is he too stingy to shell out a few hundred for a decent
    tattoo? How about laser removal? That's the gaudiest thing...

    CRUE actually has decent artwork, though it is a bit much. Axl Rose is
    another who is a blight on the tattoo community; his art is good, but a
    bunch of small tats scattered about with no rhyme or reason isn't too
    attractive IMO. There is a band out called Machine Head. While I've
    never heard their music, they've been featured in a few of my
    tat/piercing mags cuz they've got really nice work. Where is Shawn? He
    usually shows up around now to give his opinion on tats...

    Henry Rollins has KOOL tattoo's....wha'zit say, "Search & Destroy"?
    or somethin' like dat?
    
    hangover_mac

    
    
    re: -1
    
    Yup, saw him in Boston a few years ago. He also has the huge sun/face
    covering a good portion of his back under "Search and Destroy". That
    one is cool looking!
    
    

    Caught some of Kiss on Rock Line last night.
    Actually caught very little but did hear Gene say that Tiger Stadium
    sold out in 47minutes. Ought to be fun trying to get tix when
    they go on sale here in NE.
    Sounds like the stage show is gonna be wild....Paul said something
    like the old days except on steroids!!
    
    Andy

    
    	Dave, am I that vocal on the subject of tattoos?  8^)
    
    	I don't have any, and very probably won't get any, but if any-
    	one wants to waste their money on them then that's fine with me.
    
    	8^)
    

    
    	I heard, they sold-out in Detroit (first show) in 47 minutes,
    which was some kind of a record for a stadium show in Detroit.
    
    Bobby T

    
    	RE: .538
    
    	Yes, just as was posted in .535.
    
    	8^)
    

    
     I'm gonna get some tickets...and I am wearing my bell bottom flared
    pants and night fever shirt for the era....of course I will now let my
    hair grow long and begin searching for some 4 inch heeled shoes...
    
    

    Ya gotta lose your mind (and money) in Detroit, rock city...

    So what will become of the other 2 bumbs that have been playing with
    KISS, Bruce Kullock(sp?) and that blondy drummer?  Isn't it wierd that
    KISS had a blonde in them lately? It just didn't look right to me. So
    are they going to be dragged along for this fiasco, too? Are they now
    unemployed? Will KISS rehire them every few years like Sabbath did to
    Dio? If they come along, must they get a makeup design? Vinnie Vincent
    and Eric Carr looked terrible in their brief makeup stints. This tour
    is creating more questions than answers, it seems...

    
    Eric Carr looked ok in make up. Vinny Vincent just looks terrible. 
    
    I would imagine that Kulick and Singer will be travelling with them.
    Kulick has been in the band longer than Ace and Peter.
    
    Side note, more of a question really.... didn't Eric Singer play in
    Vinny Vincent's Invasion? and in a gathering of players that called
    themselves Black Sabbath in the mid to late 80's?
    
    Dave

    re: Eric Singer
    
    I don't think he was with Vinnie Vincent, but I'm not sure about
    Black Sabbath.  He was the drummer for the first Badlands album
    (with Jake E. Lee).  That's a rulin' album!

    
    But I'm sure I seen his name in the KISS 'tree' that's on the back of
    KISS Alive III liner notes. 
    I'll have to check again...
    
    Yes, Jake E. Lee's album is roolin' (whatever happened to him??)
    
    Dave
    

    
    Heard this morning they are going to re-release Kizz Alive I & II
    digitally remastered....
    
    

>    So what will become of the other 2 bumbs that have been playing with
>    KISS, Bruce Kullock(sp?) and that blondy drummer?  Isn't it weird that


this question we brought up on Rockline the other night. Not quite put
that way but pretty much the same question. Gene answered and kind of
gave it the run around...saying that Bruce and Eric gave the tour their
blessing, that they are all members of the Kiss family...and so on.
But he never really said what or where they will be going. My impression
is that they will not be touring but will return to the band once the
original four start feuding again!!!

    
    
    Bruce is 10 times better the guitar player that Ace could ever dream of
    being.

This is marketing hype at its finest.  The crowd noise on those albums give them
a noise floor of like 20-30dbs...  There is no dynamic range on those albums at
all - the crowd just shreiks the whole time.

    Bruce Kulick is a pentatonic box-playing idiot imvho

    
    Ace rools the toilet....!
    
    
    remember the solo to "I love it loud"? Utter bollocks it is,half a
    dozen bends and nothing imaginative.
    
    
    						Ian

    Part of Ace's charm is his tone deaf vocals on hits such as "Shock Me",
    "Back in the NY Groove" (my fav kiss song, btw!), etc. Add to it the
    way he staggered around the stage in a heroin induced stupor and you
    know why Bruce is just somebody to fill the empty space left on the
    stage. KISS of late has been referred to as "Half of KISS and a couple
    of dishrags" in my circle of friends. I guess that will change.
    
    
    dave

    
    	Ummm, well, "Back in the NY Groove" isn't a Kiss song.
    

    Isn't it? I know it's on his solo album. Kinda thought it was on a KISS
    album, too. Either way, they played it live as KISS.
    
    
    dave

    
    	Nope, it's Ace solo.
    

    It was on something else, I think. KISS did play it live, I know this
    for a fact. I remember watching one of my buddy's bootlegs and getting
    all excited that they were playing it. 
    

    
    	Debbie Gibson could play it in concert, which would still not
    	make it anything but an Ace Frehley song played by someone
    	else.
    

    Who played on the album with ace? Was it KISS, or did each member
    gather a group of musicians to play along? I was never sure of this...

    
    re: .552
    
    Wasn't Paul the one with the solo one I Love it Loud? And yes, the solo
    does suck, although Ace is a better guitarist then Kulick, IMO
    
    Dave
    

    Ian,
    
    ACE was OUT of KIZZ by the time they did "I Love it Loud".  nnttm.
    
    Lunchbox -- Yes, each member of Kizz hired studio musicians to play
    on their solo albums.  ACE got all the top NY cats to do his, which
    is one reason it's so great!!  (I agree, NY Groove is awesome).
    
    Dave in -1 is correct, ACE is a better guitarist than Kulick.
    Not technically, but overall, better, indeed.

    
    
    hang on....I saw a video with all 4 original members playing "I love it
    loud".It was a live video
    
    
    
    either way,Ace is shite! 8)

    KISS Fact of the Week:
    In 1982, Paul Stanley had made his acting debut in a cameo
    role in the comedy movie "Young Doctor's in Love." He played
    himself, in makeup, but as a patient who had accidentally
    swallowed a microphone onstage. Unfortunately, Paul's scene
    was cut out of the final print of the movie.
    
    KISS Fact of the Week:
    In early 1977, Kiss became the first band since the Beatles
    to have 4 albums on the Billboard Hot 100 album chart.
    "Alive," "Destroyer," "Rock and Roll Over," and "The
    Originals" were all in the top 40 at the same time. To this
    day, no other band has accomplished that feat.
    
    
    KISS Fact of the Week:
    In 1983, Gene Simmons turned down the male, romantic,
    leading role in "Flashdance," in fear of hurting his image.
    
    
    KISS Fact of the Week:
    In 1975, producer Eddie Kramer passed up the opportunity to produce
    the debut
    album from Boston so that he could produce KISS's "Alive" album.
    

    
    	"Young Doctors in Love" was a riot!!  I'll have to look for
    	that so I can see it again.
    

    
    	Looks like most of the cast of "General Hospital" appeared in
    	this film!!  I hate to admit it, but I watched it for a summer
    	or so when I was 14-15 ... right around the time that Luke
    	"saved the city" from something that had to do with an "Ice
    	Princess", and on through David Gray and the hologram scam to
    	rip off a local museum, etc.
    
    	Of note here ... this is Michael Richards' [Kramer on "Sein-
    	feld"] 1st movie.

    RE : Note 19.549
    
    I agree with Ian..... ( I'm sure that will p.o. some folks )...;-)
    
    Bruce ....TECHNICALLY....is a better guitarist. No doubt about it.
    
    BUT, Ace had the " image ".....if ya know what I mean.
    
    Since he was an original member of KISS, he had a LOT to do with their
    image. His guitar playing wasn't very spectacular, but he did o.k.. :-)
    
    It was Ace's " presence " on stage that made him great....NOT his
    guitar playing.
    
    I DO like Ace, tho'.  I like Bruce.  Heck....I like 'em ALL. ;-)
    
    KISS rules....No matter what !!!
    
           *** Kit ***
    

    Wasn't Ace the one who designed their logo?

    NO, It was the guy from the Superman comics !

    > I would imagine that Kulick and Singer will be travelling with them.
    > Kulick has been in the band longer than Ace and Peter.
    
    	I'm surprised no one said anything...
    
    	Gene Simmons
    	Ace Frehley
    	Paul Stanley
    	Peter Criss
    
    	are the original members
    
    	Of course, you're showing your age if ya' know the names of the
    	original members without even looking at a piece of vinyl from
    	the 70's.
    
    	So I'll pretend I didn't write this reply...

I read that reply to mean that Ace and Peter were in the band say 9 years and
Bruce Kulick has been in it say, 14.  (I'm assuming Ace/Peter left in 1982 and
the band started in 1973)  I may be wrong about those dates though

    Shawn-
    
    	Thinking about it, I stick with the notion that "Back in the NY
    groove" was, in fact, a KISS song. The title of the album is "KISS-Ace
    Frehley". If you go to a record store, and look under Frehley, Ace, you
    won't find the album or song. You will, however find it in the KISS
    section, regardless of who played on the album. Wouldn't this qualify
    "Back in the NY groove" as a KISS song?
    
    
    dave

    
    	NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
    
    	There was a set of 4 "solo" albums, 1 done by each of the
    	original Kiss members, entitled [I believe] "Kiss solo -
    	[band member's name]".
    
    	I am positive that no other Kiss members played on Ace's
    	solo album, and I'm quite sure that that was the case for
    	the other 3 solo albums as well.
    
    	So that would qualify each of these solo albums as a solo
    	album and ONLY referred to as "Kiss solo" so that laymen
    	would know who these people were that suddenly came out
    	with these new albums.
    
    	NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

    SueJ...you're such a KISS A**! :^)
    
    /j
    

    NO NOT NEVER WRONG!!!!!!!!!
    
    
    If it is in the KISS catalog, why is it not a KISS album, huh, huh,
    what? 
    
    dave

    An interesting aside to all this:
    
    If you have the "Kiss My Ass" album, you'll notice the family has all
    of the faces represented, with the exception of Ace. Also, in the liner
    notes, there are pictures of tattoos with all 4 faces, and Ace's
    picture is always covered by another picture or something. I guess it
    had something to do with not wanting to pay Ace for using his likeness.
    
    
    dave

    Also, in some KISS video, Paul talks about how Ace came up with the
    KISS logo, not Superman's creator.
    

    
      I have the 4 albums your talking about GTI.....and after many
    many years of dust....I now have to look at the members....

    	Sax, after you look at the members, look at the faces and see
    	if you can match them together.
