Well that's the thing, you can't strip away the Marshalls or the make up, that was KISS at their core; and they are definitely one of the biggest influences on glam metal. Sure they wrote party ballads like Motley Crue and Van Halen, but the latter is much more metal to me than Blue Oyster Cult, whom I like very much.
Wait a second it just occurred to me. Where the hell is Alice Cooper!!!!
