My 2 cents here------I'm not a Kiss fan AT ALL!! My opinion, what they lack in talent they certainly make up in marketing!!! I've never seen a band put their face on so many things, down to toilet paper, in my life. If there's one thing Gene Simmons knows how to do, it's promote himself and the band.

TimothyBFan; I also said that Gene Simmons is a marketing genius. He's all about getting his ugly mug on everything for the money. It's really at the point where it's just overindulgent self promotion. I guess those outfits & the makeup are a blessing because when you see what he really looks like, he would never sell anything He is one ugly dude!!!

KISS isn't my cup of tea either. That tongue thing grosses me out, and the makeup is creepy. Then there's the stage antics like spewing fake blood... disgusting! Little wonder it was rumored "KISS" stood for "Knights in Satan's Service"!

I think it's all great. I love me a band with stage antics.

And I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss them as not having talent. They may not be the best but They did have some classics, Rock N Roll all Nite, Hard Luck Woman, Shout It Out Loud, And Who could forget Beth?

Don Kirshner made it, but the Monkees haven't. Not that I care that much, but that's still pretty crazy
