That is all.

FTFY.

Kiss - the adult equivalent of jingling keys at a baby.

Now that Paul has heart problems, he only rocks and rolls until 9:30 at night and parties every other day.

Look at this guy's friggin' face:



He looks like a black Michael Jackson.

Are Tommy and Eric going to get one song apiece?

I hear those guys don't even put their teeth in to eat meals anymore. They just lick it up.

WaltzingMathilda: Kiss - the adult equivalent of jingling keys at a baby.

What can I say, after a day at work I could use some jingling keys like KISS. Still rock better in concert than whatever crap you listen to.

This is really exciting news for... KISS and white males under 12

...if it was 1976.

BOOM! Pyrotechnics! Now who likes to party!!! Now look how manly I am while I gyrate in tight pants and stick my tongue out!!! Yeah, baby, this isn't gay at all!

just saying, there's no substance to them. if you're entertained by glitz and glam and absolutely unoriginal cock rock, no judgment here. but there's nothing special about this band beyond being a side show with a makeup schtick

And yet you still didn't refute my comment about how whatever you listen to is still crap. Different strokes for different folks.Now get the fark out of the thread and go listen to your emo crap.

I'm not judging you, just the crappy band. This is a "Kiss is a crappy band" headline, and I agree with subby. Now, I know you listen to kiss because you said so, but you have no idea whether or not I listen to emo. All you know is I don't listen to this crappy band.



zomg! look at all those lights and sparks! it's almost like i don't have to listen to how shiatty the music is because it looks so neato! and they couldn't know me better! i DO like to rock n' roll all night and party everyday!

Lets not forget the "white males 35 to 45 who were in to KISS back when they were popular last time" demographic.

KISS is better than your favorite band.

And while we're at it, Captain & Teneel suck balls...Foghat rules!

Can they really still call the band "KISS" now that Ace Frehley is dead?

/KISS sucks major ass

Impeach Carter

KISS has some songs that I enjoy. But they aren't even close to being my favorite band.

but how many of your favorite bands have armies?

/just sayin'
//GTFOML

KISS is awesome. Watch Unplugged to see their "if it doesn't sound good on acoustics, it's just a shiatty song" philosophy on display. No pyro.

People, it's a SHOW! It's rock n' roll. It's supposed to be big and flash and silly. You're not supposed to listen to "Let's Put the X in Sex" and ruminate on it's place in the canon of the "Great Works".

Yes, Gene is a douche, yes KI$$ is the ultimate image-oriented band, but if you're not a complete musical snob who only listens to Medeski, Martin and Wood on $2,000 Bang and Olfson headphones, and you really go through KI$$'s tunes, you'll realize that Stanley and $immon$ (or Eisen and Witz if you prefer) are actually really great song writers, and a lot of Ki$$ tunes stand the test of time.

"She", "Parasite", etc.

I don't see anything wrong with a band that has trashy music and an awesome stage show. It's what makes GWAR so much fun. If I want serious and deep I'll throw on Blonde on Blonde or something.

Sometimes, a person just has to rock.

verbaltoxin: Sometimes, a person just has to rock.

agreed, that's when you throw on that old kiss album. but do you really need a new kiss album? let's be honest, it's going to sound exactly like the one you already own. for reference please see the new ac/dc album.

Why not demand BOTH and listen to the Who Live at Leeds or Dylan's Hard Rain (if we're referencing old school bands).

Rock and depth are not mutually exclusive.

Tests show that a KISS concert is a very sad thing, unless you happen to be in 1979.

STRYPERSWINE: "It's rock & roll. You don't play with your mind, you play with your dick."

Of course he'd say that. George W. also thinks he's a hero, but does anyone listen? Why would I listen to the guy I'm criticizing?

i will buy it the day it comes out just like i did psycho circus and every other KISS album. finally gene realized the 1 piece of KISS merchandise all the fans want most of all is new music and not the KISS MY ASS toilet paper

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks KISS sucks. Then again, I like a lot of music other people hate so who am I to judge?
I'll try listening to "Animalize" later.


/that band is dildos

Well, after their 45 farewell tours, you wouldn't exactly expect them to call it quits now, would you?

Kiss deserve a good portion of the criticism they receive, but the fact of the matter is that they have written a lot of solid songs that people will still be listening to decades from now.

Kiss-My-Anthea

Kiss is boring as hell. Sluggish vocals, no eclecticism, and relentlessly monotonous lyrics that make Andrew WK sound insightful and thought-provoking. Kiss represents everything wrong with rock music, everything holding it back. Even Alice Cooper stretched out once in a while. And so what if they're great in concert? Their records are no fun, so what does it matter if they've got the biggest fireballs or the most makeup or the glitziest costumes?

I'm not against music that has an image, I'm against music that is the image.

I don't get the headline. Are the youngsters into KISS these days?? I don't really pay attention anymore.

Pop entertainment over movin groovin.

When rock became merely the next level after the Barney music stage.

Yeah, sure you have a strong fondness for the musc of your youth. I have fond memories of Sing Along With Mitch, but that doesn't mean I build my music library around it.

Frehley is dead? My buddy just saw him in columbus oh a couple months ago.

Psycho Circus didn't suck that bad, it was almost tolerable

Haha, thanks. what a great show.

I like KISS.
They did what they set out to do, Become Rich and Famous.
Shallow goals they may be but How many people that hate them have achieved half of their own goals?

Like AC/DC, they have never failed in the past 30 years to give their customers what they want. (even Tears are Fallin is great)

I like KISS. Alive, Alive II, the first six studio albums. Greatest hits for the rest.
I won't make anyone else listen to them, though.

I'd like to introduce you to the Guster Assassination Squad.

Ironic, coming from someone whose list of favorite writers includes Stephen "Stop Me Before I Publish Again" King.

You need lovin', you're lookin' out for new romances
Yeah, it's true, you know you've got to take your chances
When I laugh, well baby don't you know you can cry
'Cause you ain't enough lady, to keep the master satisfied, yeah
Well, you know, I got the kind of lovin' that you need
The kind of lovin' that you need
I'm so fast, that's why the ladies call me Mr. Speed
They call me Mr. Speed

You try pleasin', but gettin' on your knees don't make it
You try teasin', but baby you can't even fake it, no
Made it clear, but baby you can't even see me
So stop those tears 'cause baby you can't even deceive, ah, ah

Yeah, you know, I got the kind of lovin' that you need
The kind of lovin' that you need
I'm so fast, that's why the ladies call me Mr. Speed
Look out

Ow, I don't care

Yeah, you know, I got the kind of lovin' that you need
The kind of lovin' that you need
I'm so fast, that's why the ladies call me Mr. Speed
Mr. Speed

Yeah, you know, I got the kind of lovin' that you need
The kind of lovin' that you need
I'm so fast, that's why the ladies call me Mr. Speed
Mr. Speed

Yeah, you know, I got the kind of lovin' that you need
The kind of lovin' that you need

When I was in my late teens and early 20s, I was convinced that Kiss was one of the greatest things to ever happen to rock. I had every single album, the solo shiat, all of it. Then one day about a year ago I was looking at my shelf and realized I could easily pare it down by ripping the one or two tracks that I actually liked from each crappy album, and just keep the essentials ("Destroyer," for example, is a staple of any hard rock collection).

Don't get me wrong, the majority of it is glitz and overhyped crap. But then on the same token, "Strutter" is one of the most incredible moments in rock history.
