Ya, I forgot that you were inside Kurt's head and know everything he thought to himself.

As did Robert Johnson and Son House and Pink Floyd and nearly any other band. There is nothing special about KISS that is good. Get over it.

If you're going to say they influenced an entire genre, you should at least give a couple of examples for each genre. I mean just because a band loved that band, doesn't mean they were influenced by it, nor does seeing one of their shows mean they were influenced by it.

It sounds like you guys need to get over it.

It is our job to hate KISS it seems that you are preaching to the wrong congragation holms. We ain't no make-up wearin' hippie lovers.

KISS is only one band of many I enjoy.

acknowledging the fact they were one of the most influential bands of the 70s is just being real about the band. It's true, they were one of the most influential bands of the 70s. They outsold all their competition and had the best bands on the scene OPENING THEIR SHOWS.

denying this fact simply because you think they suck, is well, just talking with your head up your ass.

The acts that opened for them, were hundreds of times better. Just because a certain band opens for another band, doesn't mean much. Groups pretty much take any gig they can get, you don't have to be influenced by KISS, to open for them.
