And every blue moon I still might want a bowl of it. However, I can eat roast beef in all its succulent glory every day for the rest of my life. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just please, get the facts straight before posting Rush is an all time favorite band of mine - I love 'em But KISS is one of about three musical outfits in the history of mankind that transcend the term "band" If you were a flaming youth circa 1974-1978, KISS was your band - and most likely, still is KISS touched something in the cast outs, the tweeners, the kids who lived for something more that was never understood outside their own world Rush was great, but they were not KISS ... and to their credit, no other band ever was 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taurus Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I think the Lucky Charms/Roast Beef comparison is most apt Loved KISS Alive! Kind of gave up on them after the solos and Dynasty - although I thought Dynasty was a decent record. Came back to them with COTN but have not bought a KISS album since Alive III or Unplugged. I liked what Gene said "KISS isn't good taste - it just tastes good" or something along those lines 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 (edited) The Lucky Charms comparison is too superficial KISS tapped into something that went way beyond music ... It was - it IS - something unspoken, youthful and universal .. It was the music, but also, much much more THIS is KISS as much as Rock And Roll All Night is KISS, starting from my own world circa 1978 This is the real world - most everything else, still at age 48, it just a bore Creation can go beyond the music, you know http://s26.postimg.org/ec69lz1q1/Halloween.jpg http://a.espncdn.com/photo/2010/0226/pg2_kiss02_576.jpg http://s26.postimg.org/s7l6sziwo/Kiss_Cadillac_Kiss_Blvd.jpg Edited February 19, 2016 by Lucas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first album is the best thing they ever did. Just the opposite of Rush. I like all the holier than thou people in this thread. KISS is a outstanding band, for what they do. They put on a helluva show and play some hard rockin' (mostly) music. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disembodied Spirit Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I had ALL the 1st 5 KISS records on 8 Track. Then I discovered Rush. I never owned Rush on 8 Track because I'd had moved on from my childish ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 After this thread, I had some Lucky Charms. First album. I only have one other box, Hotter than Hell.

This is as good as any entrée from any other band Entire Main Course http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jHVkX3B6IcYou're too serious. Think about this: Destroyer was the album that made them my favorite band. I used to place tracing paper over the album then copy it. Then do it again. I was 6. I did the same for Rock and Roll Over. Also in the late 70s, I used to draw pictures of Kiss vs The Avengers. There was a comic out at the time that DID have Kiss & the Avengers. One of the gimmicks was that Kiss' own blood was in the ink used for those comics. You probably know all this already. Put it this way: if you offered me a bowl of Lucky Charms, I'd say, "Cool, thanks. I used to gobble this stuff up." But I can't say that I'd be drooling over it like I used to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
