I've been Playing in a band professionally for 30 years called HARD LABOUR. Kiss are a good and tight band musically and their original early music is great. Every good Rock band has a spark member and Ace was the spark in Kiss but the other band mates brought that spark out of him. Any professional musician will understand and appreciate what I'm saying. It's a lot of hard work and a great live band becomes tight after 500 gigs. It is Not as easy as it looks so show some respect.

In 1981 I had just turned 10 and my parents said I could pick out my own birthday gift so I started scrolling through all the albums. Now being that we didn't have a lot of $$$ I was limited to this one section and that was where I discovered this crazy looking band called KISS and the album was their 1975 KISS Alive album. Needless to say that was the day I was also drafted into the Kiss Army...talk about getting lucky that day because I was allowed a 2nd album due to the sale and found another KISS album which was Dress To Kill. Not only does their music bring back great memories but just the process of discovering their music but I can even remember cranking out Hotter Then Hell and the look on my friends face as we are making up stories about where these larger then life characters may have come from😂😂😂 not many bands can create that atmosphere...All hail the Kiss Gods🤩🤩🤩

I first got KISS in 1979 when I was 14. Dynasty had just been released here in Australia and they just exploded. I loved the singles from that album and still do. A great album completely. I first saw KISS sometime in 1978. My older brother had been loaned Double Platinum by a friend and it was lying around. I remember picking it up and trying to work out what was on the cover. I remember thinking it was sort of interesting but I could not work out what I was actually looking at. I didn't even put it on. Then came Dynasty. I have been hooked since. I just love the original KISS. To this day. TOTAL FUCKING ROCK!

KISS is a genre that most people forgot existed. It's called Rock n' Roll. They were probably the last Rock n' Roll band to ever be. When their tour is finished, that genre will be gone. That being said, the amount of factual errors in this video were kind of a lot. Mostly about which songs were on which album, who wrote what song, etc. The 4 album contract agreement, etc. But, you're coming at it from a hard rock and metal appreciation angle, which is cool. KISS eventually went into so many genres, that they appeal to anyone. Some say Carnival of Souls is their best album, others The Elder. I personally can't pick a favorite album -maybe their debut album- but I can find a host of KISS songs to fit whatever mood I'm in. KISS however is a strange band concerning their fans. No other band get's crucified like KISS does for having new members. Every band has had replacement members. Is it weird that Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer wear make-up that was unique to Ace and Peter, yes. I could care less, so long as they sound awesome (which Eric Singer certainly does) But, the band is very much a brand these days, like Disney. Family friendly music, a huge stage show, singing the same 16 songs every fricken concert. It's turned into Americana. Go see Mt. Rushmore, visit the Grand Canyon, and catch a KISS show. The band that everyone called talent-less in their time, influenced so many guitar players it's not even funny. And their talent compared to today's rock is light years beyond anyone that hits the stage today, because they have decades of experience. Every festival they play at, they constantly blow every proceeding band away. Even with Paul's broken voice.

Peter didn’t choose his make up because he loved cats. He chose it because he survived on the streets growing up and felt he had nine lives like a cat. Ace Frehley was not always spaced out. He was into science fiction, UFOs and extra terrestrial stories. That’s why he chose Space Ace. Gene Simmons never thought of himself as a "demon". He was a fan of horror movies, comic books and classic monsters. The only one you had even kind of close is Paul Stanley. Although he thought of himself as a star, it was more of a star child.

Advice from a fan since 1975: Listen to the stuff up until Creatures Of The Night. Everything afterward just isn't Kiss - even the Reunion stuff. KISS was best when they were young and hungry. So, the shows and the albums up to Alive II are awesome! Solo Albums are ok, but disjointed. The Elder, Dynasty, Unmasked... are so/so. Creatures was the band's last gasp, in my opinion.

Thanks for such a great docu film, it's updating my memories as a British KISS fan from the 70's. If I may offer some criticism? I wish you wouldn't constantly apologise for what KISS are/were! The faux cynical voice is annoying brother... folk will either watch this or not... you don't have to try and get viewers by answering in advance their imagined negative opinions and eliciting contrary responses. KISS are multimillionaires, the deed s done, the die is cast and cooled ... MP3 has put an end to fan worship, many kids will have a token KISS song on their player or on Spotify and they have no interest in who they are. KISS fans of old appreciate your efforts and that's enough... :-) x

Pretty darn entertaining and I dug lots of the footage you chose to help bring it all to life even more (for songs that don't have videos or live versions particularly). Only a few nitpicky things if I may; I think at 04:49 that live photo is actually of a tribute band, and not KISS - I could be wrong but it looks like another band.... also, calling "Mainline" a "ballad" struck me as odd. Sure it's a bit lighter fare than some of the other tunes on HTH, and has more of that R&B/boogie-woogie side to KISS, but definitely not a "ballad"...finally, you sort of correct yourself near the end about Eric Carr's reputation with the fans but it can't be overstated enough; there's a reason you NEVER hear a negative word about Eric, and it's thanks to a very well-earned rep for being 1000% awesome with his fans since day one 'til the end. Everyone knows that about The Fox, just wanted to put that in writing here (the same can be said about Bruce Kulick, one of the nicest guys in RnR). Overall, this doc and your '80s KISS one starting with Creatures are lots of fun, so keep up the humorous take and the deep research on the hottest band in the land and I'm sure we'll keep watching.

Agreed , 100,000 years is untouchable. Room Service is the best from DTK IMO.Should have been a concert staple.

GREAT video (and I agree very much with your taste when it comes to specific songs) but Paul Stanley being "coked out" during "Hotter than Hell"?... I don´t think so! Hope to see part 2 soon

So who is the drummer on Larger Than Life ? Prior to Creatures that was the best makeup era drumming I can think of. Anton Fig ? There isn’t much the Kiss Army agrees on anymore but it seems unanimous. The first boulder of the avalanche which buried Kiss in the 70s was ‘Kiss Meets the Phantom’. That was when I realized they were fallible and so apparently did a whole lot of original fans. Love your documentary. Thanks for all the work you obviously put into it and for speaking your mind like only a hardcore Kiss fan would. They’re ridiculous. I can’t justify them to anyone who isn’t a fan. But even after Tommy fucking Thayer - once a fan, always a fan.

Paul smoked a little weed back in the day. He also took Valium from time to time. He drank during the photo shoot of, Hotter than Hell which is the only known time that he was hammered publicly that I know of.

52:27 - The Wall is a hunk of gold. I think it's a perfect album. When I'd heard this was one of Roger Waters' ideas for either the next Floyd album or his firs solo album, I'd always wondered how this would have come out if David Gilmour wasn't involved. I'm sorry to hear you don't like the album because it's phenomenal.

Kiss has had always the ability to mix their stuff with what was going around. Dinasty is not a disco album at all. Actually is a rock album with some friendly disco tune. And so on. I am not a Kiss Army dude but definitvely this band has done much more than what people think . They never had a bad release in my opinion. Except that grunge atrocity.

I actually loved "(Music From) The Elder." Maybe beyond their ambitions, to some, but it was unique, especially coming from them. I know no one cares, but here's my personal Top 5: 5)Creatures Of The Night 4)Ace Frehley (solo album '78) 3)Dynasty 2)(Music From)The Elder 1)Hotter Than Hell
