The problem with KISS though is it isn't funny, it's just lame.

GWAR gets the the thumbs up though.

I'm not the biggest KISS fan, but that's because I just don't care, not because I think they're dumb. Well, I do think they're dumb, but that isn't why I don't care.

Now you're being silly.

Why do so many people enjoy stoopidity as entertainment? I only like the music of Kiss for the sake of the music. I hate the lyrics and the stage show (judging from the snippets I´ve seen on the Internet).
Why do some people like tea and others coffee?

I like the Marx Brothers but I also like the Three Stooges just as much.

Quote:
But stoopid stoopidity? "Indiscretion in the Ladies Room" for example? Or "Getaway" ("I gotta, gotta getaway! Gotta, gotta getaway!" Repeat, repeat.).
Loads of bands repeat their own lyrics, Kiss don't have the exclusive rights to that.

I´d die of embarassment to perform that stuff in front of an auditorium full of people while wearing greasepaint.
I bet you would, but I'm sure plenty of $ would ease your embarrassment.

And Gene sticking his tongue out at the audience and spitting phony baloney blood is supposed to be entertaining? What´s the point?
It's called a trademark gimmick and it's primary aim is to get people to always remember it, which you've done.

If Kiss hadn't existed, GWAR might not have either.

Definitely possible. Still doesn't make me think Kiss is any less crappy though. They literally have only one song I've ever heard that I like, and it comes from their very un-Kiss-y no makeup era.
