Paul Stanley say many a dumbass thing.

At the VH1 Rock Honors he said "real rock n roll by a real rock n roll band".

Meanwhile, he's got fake Ace & Peter members performing with him. And they never announce it.

Could be why Ace played with the tribute band right before them.

One of my fave bands - KISS

How many listenable songs have KISS made?

Kiss are and were a great rock and roll band! They earned their place in rock and roll music and they have a huge loyal fanbase. They also made many great rock and roll songs and all are listenable too.

KISS r NOT still a great Rock 'n Roll band..

They've become a travesty..If u have 2
rely on re-releasing ur Greatest Hits
4 twenty plus years..u r not great but pathetic

& don't tell me u still enjoy their shows..cuz that
shit is boring as fuck..it's always the same..The only
Great Kiss thing in the last decade
was Peter criss performing 'Beth' looking like a pre op tranny..
that always had me in stitches..

Gene Simmons even made a comment about making 'Kiss'
a brand that could go on 4 ever after they quit with a
completely different line up..

Paul Stanley's voice is completely shot

retire NOW fat bitches..

Well, you know what they say about opinions!

speaking of the rectum..Gene Simmons' last solo album
was almost okay...

I guess I'm just a fan from way back. I don't listen to their music a lot these days, but back in the day, I listened to all of it and saw them live a few times. I'm not saying they're the greatest band ever or anything like that, but I do like them and they were a big part of my teenage years. I guess I have a soft spot for them.

Paul and Gene have always been shit talkers, it's what makes the band so fun. They were never trying to be the next Led Zepplin, they were just making great music that they enjoyed. They have always been upfront about wanting to mass market the hell out of their band.

I remember seeing Gene on a show promoting the Kiss credit card. He was so blatant and forward about it that it was hilarious. It was that "Isn't this ridiculous - now go get one" kinda thing. Classic Gene attitude.

My first concert ever was KISS in 1979. It pretty much changed my world. I never joined the Army but dressed up as Paul for Halloween one year and played air guitar with pool sticks to Rock-n-Roll All Over while a friend spewed ketchup from his mouth. There was something very superhero-ish to them. You really believed Paul was a lover, Gene was a demon(spewing blood and flying during live shows), Ace was an alien with super powers(like shooting laser beams from his guitar to destroy other guitars) and Peter was a cat. Carving KISS into trees, notebooks and rulers. You were cool if you liked KISS, in middle school. As far as what they are doing now? Who knows. I grew out of that phase a long time ago. But I know Paul Stanley was spotted at the opening date of the Musicology tour, probably taking notes. They are rock legends.

Embarrassed all the way to the bank.

Michael Bolton wrote one of their "ballads".....THAT'S LAME!!!!! That's like having Michael Bolton write a love song for Van Halen. MAYBE VAN HAGAR!!!!

A Kiss credit card is one thing, but a Kiss coffin takes the cake!



See the beer? The coffin can also be used as a cooler! Look at Gene's mug. Completely shameless.

Un-fuckin'-believeable!

Last I read, Paul did Phantom of the Opera for a while, then had to chill out for a while due to hip surgery, and got divorced from his wife, but supposedly he's finishing up work on his second solo album. Gene released his second solo album a couple years ago.

Yeah, he promoted it on Howard Stern a few years back. Dude was proud.
