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?

[Bluehorseshoe]

Yep and I know I'll piss of people with this one.....Metallica.

"So I dub thee unforgiven....."

I think of Spinal Tap when I hear that line.

[lakerboy]

What about acdc?

[KiDBaZkiT]

As much as I want to say yes no way could I with all the dogshit out nowadays.

[Bostongambler]

I used to enjoy Lawrence Welk. Those bubbles turned me on.

Dane paint your face and do a video

[stevek173]

Agree Dane now let;s play some 2/4

[ParlayininHTown]

Kiss, Rush and Journey are my top three.

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.

[ChuckyTheGoat]

No, I've seen worse. At one point, KISS moved the needle.

But you have a point. Not great music at all.

[jjgold]

they were big

it was more of the show though that mad them

[khicks26]

They were great at marketing, first band to do it. But they did have some good songs.

[jjgold]

They will always be music icons

[pavyracer]

Biggest overrated band is U2.

[jjgold]

Back in the day everyone Halloween costume was some sort of a kiss costume

U2 very overrated but mega wealth

[stevek173]

U2 1987-2000 best run of anyone short of the Beattles

coach did u know poster The Lock actually is Bono? Only one of them that posts here

[jjgold]

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

[stevek173]

Freddie great in the sack too, huh coach

[daneblazer]

Agree Dane now let;s play some 2/4

Waking up from nap. Will be there later

[opie1988]

I'm still a big fan of "Lick It Up."

Circa 1983. I was 13.

#kissarmy

***also enjoy "Heavens on Fire" and "Tears are Falling."

[stevek173]

Waking up from nap. Will be there later

pretty busy now, maybe evening 1/2 seems to be everyone's game of choice last few days which is annoying

The Lock=Bono=Tron

Kiss sucks! Always has, always will. It's fraud rock.

[The Giant]

Gene Simmons has penetrated more girls with his tongue than everyone on SBR combined.

That counts for something, dane.

Show some respect.

[jjgold]

Simmons was a legend with chicks

I know of only 5-7 guys here that have gotten laid the last 3 years

[Smoke]

Corbin do a video. paint your face like gene simmons and sing "lick it up" and i'll ship you $5 to your wallet

[TheMoneyShot]

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.

[grease lightnin]

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

[TheLock]

U2 1987-2000 best run of anyone short of the Beattles
