you got gene simmons beings scary af, but then they proceed to play “I was made for loving you” song, I love it
Deal with it!
I always think of KISS as preGWAR
Gene was a performer and a showman. Their music suuuucked!!! But when I was a kid, I liked them because my parents hated them. Now as I look back, it was all so formulaic🤣
Gingivitis is no joke.
not sure i’ve ever really understood the appeal.
It’s a shame the music was so mediocre
The worst American band
I went to a public elementary school in the 70s. One day our teacher wrote KISS on the board and it explained that it stood for Knights In Satan’s Service.
Kiss has always been mids
Now he’s selling vodka and buying restaurants in Milwaukee of all places
People fell for this shit ? 😬
r/oldschoolridiculous
Kiss is cool af!
I remember the first time I saw gene without makeup and I was like oh yeah that’s why
Conservative boomer music
Gene Simmons looking like a very un-menacing central casting reject from the new Crow remake. Never understood how anyone would consider this band remotely hard or metal, they’re like, one step above Jimmy Buffet.
Money changes everything
I knew them for their makeup long before I knew what they sounded like. I was shocked! I just assumed their music would be hard rock.
You wanted the best, you got the best. What I respect most about KISS is that they were completely honest about their greed. Anything that can have KISS on it should have KISS on it, and it doesn’t hurt that some of their merch is pretty awesome.
I had seats left of the stage for a show in ‘77. The speakers were on the stage, so we could only see the band when they were at the mics… until Gene rose towards us on the cherry picker for God Of Thunder. We got drenched by his blood regurgitation!
Could he play the bass at all?
Not my line, but
“KISS is the Village People for homophobes.”
He looks menacing but their music is all happy go lucky. The look doesn’t fit the music.
Those floppy foam “spikes” are so fucking corny,
I don’t know how people were afraid of this literal clown
Pretty cool and probably shocking AF back then.
Hell yeah.
Gaaaaay
It’s theater, the music alway took a back seat to money, fame and groupies
this remides me of the time when ozzy oz borne bit a bat head off…
Gene Simmons is a real self centred, narcissistic asshole in real life.
Uhm, this bass solo isn’t very complicated musically…He’s no McCartney.
Huh. Guess you had to be there.
He was sexy in devilish way and he had a sense of humor. Didn’t matter really if the songs were good. I thought Alice Cooper was sexy in a warped way. Alice Cooper had way better music “Nomore Mr nice guy”, “ I’m 18” “Billion dollar babies”
Good lord their music sucks.
