KISS- why not retire??

Yeah they are getting on. But I'm still holding out the hope that I will get to see them live everntually if they carry on long enough lol. I'm only 23 and live in UK so it's not likely to happen.

The sooner Kiss goes the hell away, the better.

No band was bigger than KISS, save for maybe ABBA and Zeppelin.

But seriously, I think KISS is at the lowest point in their career, right now.
2 phonies pretending to be Peter and Ace kind of sum it all up.

How many songs did Kiss ever get played on the radio in the 70's? To own the 70's you should have had some air time and Kiss rarely got any air time.

Beth was the biggest radio song, then maybe once in a while you heard R&R All Night. That's not really owning. Record sales may have been huge but Kiss didn't get much radio time.

Creatures Of The Night is possibly the best Heavy Metal album to come out of America in the 80's.

I am not talking about Glam Rock or Thrash etc, just pure Metal. Creatures Of The Night is a classic and deserves a lot more attention if that is the sort of music you like.

I am not a huge Kiss Fan at all but this album and many subsequent tracks were killer.

Wow, that many are essential eh? Creatures of the Night is a good one then jh?

What is the consensus on their self-titled?

Their debut album is horribly produced but most of the songs on it stayed in their live show for 30+ years.

I'd say it was pretty essential.
