How did these guys become so popular? They paint their faces up like cats and foxes and stick their tongues out. Gimmicky hair band. 40 years of that junk?

i grew up loving KISS in the 70s.. very young, but they had many fans
even under 10 years old.. did KISS make it because of the makeup
and connections of Gene/Paul ? yes. It is questionable whether
they would have gotten the record deal back then without it.
They wore the makeup and did the stage acts so as to get the record deal.
Record deals were extremely hard to get in the 1970s.
It's called a gimmick. This being said, they made
the most of it with some good tunes. In 1973-75 when the band was
taking off, it was the height of the brief "glam rock" phase.

Yes, but they had "Kill Em' ALL", "Ride the Lightning", "Master of Puppers" and "and Justice for All" before so all is forgiven, so to speak.

No, I've seen worse. At one point, KISS moved the needle.
But you have a point. Not great music at all.
Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

Queen although a little older was much better than U2
Freddie Mercury was a musical genius all of u2 combined were not as good as him

I'm still a big fan of "Lick It Up."
Circa 1983. I was 13.

Gene Simmons has penetrated more girls with his tongue than everyone on SBR combined.
That counts for something, dane.
Show some respect.

Just one of those things with the times. Rock N Roll. That was the time. Kiss, AC/DC Rush, they all get it.
When Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Smashing Pumpkins all came out... people were like.... what the hell is this kind of music? And they said... wow... we kinda like it. Rock N Roll was all gone. POOFFFFFFFFF and buh bye.

I am not a KISS fan, but some of their songs were pretty good. People trash them, but I doubt they care they are printing money to this day. Gene Simmons is worth $300 mil.
always thought this was a kickass song
