KISS — американская рок-группа, получившая огромную известность в 1970—1980 годах, игравшая в жанрах глэм/шок/хард-рока и известная своим сценическим макияжем и концертами-шоу, сопровождаемыми различными пиротехническими эффектами.
Группа появилась на свет в 1972, хотя ее основатели, Джин Симмонс (Gene Simmons, p. 25 августа 1949, Хайфа, Израиль, настоящее имя Юджин Кляйн (Eugene Klein); бас, вокал) и Пол Стэнли (Paul Stanley, p. 20 января 1950, Куинс, Нью-Йорк, настоящее имя Пол Стэнли Айзен (Paul Stanley Eisen); гитара, вокал) познакомились двумя годами раньше и уже успели испытать себя в самодеятельных группах The Rainbow и Wicked Lester. Через объявление в Rolling Stone они нашли барабанщика: Питер Крисс (Peter Criss, p. 27 декабря 1947, Бруклин, настоящее имя Питер Крисскола (Crisscoula), уже играл с второразрядными командами (Lips и Chelsea) и даже записывался для MCA.
Продолжая днем ходить на работу (Кляйн, например, учительствовал), они репетировали вечерами. Осенью 1972, по объявлению, вычитанному в газете Village Voice, их отыскал гитарист Пол Дэниел “Эйс” Фрейли (Paul Daniel Ace Frehley, p. 22 апреля 1951, Бронкс). Теперь настало время активных действий. Перебрав несколько названий (от эффектного Love Gun до неудобоваримого Bullfrog Beer — так называлась одна из школьных групп Джина), они остановились на коротком KISS и начали готовить свою атаку на Нью-Йорк, США.
30 января 1973 KISS дебютировали в клубе Coventry в Куинсе и сразу же собрали обильный урожай разноречивых откликов. Если их музыкальный багаж (несколько рок-н-ролльных стандартов и пара бледных оригиналов) остался незамеченным, то об имидже сказать этого было явно нельзя. Доведя до абсолюта придуманный Бауи образ “рок-звезды со звезд”, KISS предстали на сцене в виде четырех бесполых и эффектно одетых монстров, лица которых скрывал искусный грим — в соответствии с выбранным для каждого образом: “ящер” Симмонс, “красавчик” Стэнли, “космический ас” Фрейли, “кот” Крисс. Через несколько недель на KISS натолкнулся безработный телережиссер Билл Окойн (Bill Aucoin), который стал их менеджером и в начале следующего года организовал контракт с Casablanca.
Несмотря на мощную рекламную кампанию (она включала даже марафонский “чемпионат поцелуев”), вышедший в феврале альбом Kiss был только 87-м, а появившийся осенью Hotter Than Hell дотянул до утешительной 100-й строки в Топ100. Критика освистала прямолинейный хард KISS и в пух и прах разнесла их “космический” маскарад, но Окойн не отступился. По слухам, грандиозное турне группы весной 1975 оказалось настолько убыточным, что он был принужден покрывать долги из собственного кармана, но уже к лету ситуация ощутимо изменилась. Новый альбом, Dressed To Kill, поднялся до 32-ой отметки, а выпущенный по следам турне Kiss Alive оказался 9-м и в том же году получил “платиновый диск”. Извлеченная из альбома Rock And Roll All Nite принесла KISS первый успех в сингл-списке (№ 12).
Умело манипулируя рекламой (не просто майки и значки, но куклы с хорошо узнаваемыми лицами и комиксы в Marvel, незаурядный фан-клуб, а целая Kiss Army), Окойн быстро превратил KISS в новую подростковую моду. Концерты KISS поражали воображение обилием трюков: взрывные устройства, холодильные установки, полицейские мигалки и сирены, самовозгорающиеся гитары и летающие по воздуху барабаны. Центральная фигура шоу, Симмонс на сцене глотал пламя (настоящее!) и плевался кровью (фальшивой!). Не пугаясь многомесячных турне и постоянно совершенствуя свои представления, к середине 70-х годов KISS стали одной из наиболее сценичных групп мира. Если в декабре 1974 KISS разогревали зал для Blue Oyster Cult, то через год ситуация изменилась с точностью до наоборот.
Следующий диск, Destroyer, продюсировал знаменитый Боб Эзрин, хотя на качестве материала это почти не сказалось. Единственным исключением стала неожиданно мелодичная баллада Beth (которую Крисс посвятил своей жене Лидии [Lydia Criss] ), № 7.
Kiss — The Originals (альбом из трех первых пластинок группы) включал буклет с изложенной в комиксах историей группы. Графика в манере комиксов на некоторое время стала основным элементом художественного стиля группы: так же были оформлены следующие альбомы Rock And Roll Over (1976) и Love Gun (1977), № 4 (их высшее достижение в чартах).
25-27 августа 1977 KISS дали три концерта в Лос-анджелесском зале Forum, положенные в основу их второго концертного альбома (1978). Он же принес группе четвертый “платиновый диск”.
В октябре 1978 участники группы одновременно выпустили по сольному альбому. Все они стали “платиновыми”, хотя степень успеха была различной: Симмонс поднялся до 22-й строки, Фрейли до 26-й, Стэнли до 40-й, а Крисс до 43-й. Одновременно NBC выпустила на телеэкраны страны мультик Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park, в котором бравая четверка доблестно сражалась с сумасшедшим профессором-берсеркером. Marvel издал очередную книжку комиксов, красная краска в которых якобы содержала кровь четырех музыкантов (!).
Хотя изданный в мае 1979 танцевальный хит I Was Made For Lovin’ You (написана Стэнли вместе с будущим хитмэйкером Десмондом Чайлдом и продюсером Винни Понша) была 11-й в США и 50-й в Англии (их первое появление в чартах Британии), а вышедший следом альбом Dynasty 9-м, звезда KISS начала понемногу закатываться: на фоне агрессии и эпатажа панков их “картонные” ужасы выглядели неубедительно.
В январе 1980 Крисс, чьи авторские амбиции давно выходили за рамки KISS, покинул группу, а позднее без видимых результатов играл с Criss-Penridge Alliance, Balls Of Fire, группой своего имени и т.д. В записи очередного альбома Unmasked его заменял Антон Фидж (Anton Fig), который позднее играл с Robert Gordon и Spider, а в июле на концерте в нью-йоркском Palladium с KISS на сцену вышел барабанщик Эрик “Лис” Карр (Eric Fox Carr, p.12 июля 1953, Бруклин, настоящее имя Пол Каравелла (Paul Caravella)). Этот состав сделал на удивление симпатичный альбом Music From ‘The Elder’ — саундтрек к вымышленному фильму с текстами Лу Рида, записанный Эзрином в своей излюбленной бархатно-оркестровой манере: с хором и массой струнных. Как ни странно, альбом был весьма популярен в Англии.
В августе 1982 уставший от своей роли в KISS Эйс ушел, чтобы объявиться во главе своих Frehley’s Comet (причем, барабанил у него Фидж). На время ближайшего турне его заменил — на полпути из Balance в SKULL — Боб Кулик (Bob Kulick), а в следующем альбоме дебютировал новый музыкант Винни Винсент (Vinnie Vincent, p. в 1952, настоящее имя Винсент Кузано (Vincent Cusano)), карьера которого начиналась в хардовых группах Treasure и Warrior. Этот альбом, Creatures Of The Night, был посвящен памяти умершего незадолго до его выхода босса Casablanca Нила Богарта, но по иронии судьбы стал последней работой KISS для фирмы.
Летом 1982 они были вынуждены отменить трехдневные гастроли в Аргентине: местные экстремисты объявили, что готовы предотвратить концерт группы “даже ценой человеческих жизней”. 18 сентября 1982 KISS опять привлекли внимание, впервые появившись в программе MTV без грима. Новый имидж был запечатлен на обложке Lick It Up (1983) — их сравнительно удачного дебюта на Mercury, хотя лишь вышедший годом позже Animalize вернул им статус “платиновых” артистов. К выходу этого альбома в группе произошли новые перемены: Винсент решил возглавить собственную группу Vinnie Vincent’s Invasion, а на его место в мае 1984 пришел Марк Сент-Джон (Mark St. John, p. 7 февраля 1956, настоящее имя Марк Нортон (Marc Norton)). Впрочем, Сент-Джон задержался всего на полгода: в декабре он заболел и был вынужден оставить группу (а позднее играл с White Tiger, Alice Cooper и группой Пита Крисса! Очередным гитаристом стал брат Боба Брюс Кулик (Bruce Kulick, p.12 декабря 1953), бывший участник BlackJack, Good Rats и Billy Squier Band.
В 80-е годы популярность KISS поменяла полюса: в США группу слушали все меньше, зато в Британии их акции начали неуклонно расти. Свидетельством этого стал альбом Crazy Nights (1987): № 65 в США и № 4 в Англии и его заглавная вещь — № 18 и № 4 соответственно. Памятуя о своей трудной юности, Джин Симмонс всегда поддерживал молодых и менее удачливых артистов, в частности, Angel и Giuffria. Прирожденный актер, он дебютировал в кино в 1984 эпизодической ролью в Runaway, а двумя годами позже сыграл сразу две главные роли: в Never Young To Die (с Р. Экелундом и Дж. Лэзенби) и Trick Or Treat (с Ozzy Osbourne). В том же году он спродюсировал альбом W.O.W. экс-вокалистки The Plasmatics Венди О. Уильямс. Позже Джин работал в этом качестве с Black’n’blue (два альбома) и House Of Lords. В 1988 он открыл собственный лэйбл Simmons Records.
В 1989 KISS выпустили довольно неплохой альбом Hot In The Shade, после чего замолчали почти на три года — как стало известно позже, причиной этого молчания стала болезнь Карра, который умер от рака 24 ноября 1991 (в тот же день, когда по другую сторону Атлантики скончался Freddie Mercury). За барабаны сел Эрик Сингер (Eric Singer), барабанщик Black Sabbath и Badlands. Новый состав в 1992 записал мощный рок-н-ролльный альбом Revenge и кавер двадцатилетней давности хита Argent God Gave Rock’n’roll To You, который был включен в популярную киноленту Bill And Ted’s Bogus Journey и вернул имя группы в “пятерку” британских чартов. На следующий год KISS достойно отметили двадцатилетие, выпустив свой третий концертный альбом Kiss Alive III.
В 1994, на волне тотальной моды на всевозможные кавер-версии, Mercury сделала альбом-посвящение Kiss my ass, в котором песни KISS исполняли как стилистически близкие (Anthrax), так и довольно далекие от них (Garth Brooks, Stevie Wonder) артисты. Летом 1995 оригинальный состав KISS дал концерт в одном из нью-йоркских клубов. Разогревали зал их вечные партнеры The Tubes. После группа вновь воссоединилась оригинальным составом. Состоялся очень успешный реюнион тур. В 1997 увидел свет альбом Carnival of Souls: The Final Sessions. Саунд на нём довольно тяжелый по сравнению с предыдущими работами, а сам альбом получился довольно слабый. В 1998 вышел Psycho Circus, записанный оригинальным составом. Альбом также получился тяжеленьким, но, в отличии от предшественника, он возвращает нас к забойному hard rock 70-х. В 2001 группу снова покидает Питер Крисс, на его место обратно приходит Эрик Сингер, затем уходит и Эйс Фрейли. Вместо него взяли бывшего гитариста Black’n’blue Томми Сэера - старого фаната KISS. В 2003 грандиозное шоу KISS Symphony (за ударной установкой Питэр), сыгранное на самом большом стадионе Австралии в сопровождении Мельбурнского симфонического оркестра. В 2004 Rock the Nation тур. В 2008 «35 Alive» тур. Впервые за 9 лет KISS возвращаются в Европу. И из новостей сегодня, в 2009 году в Conway Recording Studios был записан ещё один альбом группы под названием Sonic Boom. Альбом был тепло принят как критиками, так и слушателями. Первым альбом был выпущен в Италии 2 октября.

Kiss Studio album by Kiss Released February 18, 1974 Recorded Bell Sound Studios, New York City October – November 1973 Genre
Hard rock, Heavy metal Length = 35:11 Label Casablanca Producer Kenny Kerner and Richie Wise Professional reviews
* Allmusic 4.5/5 stars link * Rolling Stone (Positive) link[dead link] * Pitchfork (8.0) link
Kiss is the debut album by American hard rock band Kiss. When it was released, on February 18, 1974, Kiss had been a band for little more than one year. Much of the material on the album was written by Gene Simmons and/or Paul Stanley, as members of their pre-Kiss band, Wicked Lester. Simmons estimated that the entire process of recording and mixing took three weeks, while co-producer Richie Wise has stated it took just thirteen days.[1]
The album was recorded at Bell Sound Studios in New York City, which was owned by the company that owned Buddah Records. Neil Bogart, founder of Casablanca Records, was an executive at Buddah prior to forming Casablanca.[1]
Casablanca Records held a party at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles to celebrate the West Coast release of Kiss (February 18) and to introduce the record company to the press and other record industry executives. In keeping with the Casablanca theme, the party included palm trees and a Humphrey Bogart lookalike. Kiss performed their usual loud and bombastic stage show, which turned Warner Bros. Records (Casablanca's record distributor) against the group.[1]
Soon after the show, Warner Bros. Records contacted Neil Bogart and threatened to end their deal with Casablanca if Kiss didn't remove their makeup. With manager Bill Aucoin's backing, Kiss refused. Shortly after the release of Kiss, Warner Bros. released Casablanca from their contract.[1]
Kiss sold approximately 75,000 copies after its initial release, without the presence of a hit single.[1] It was certified Gold on June 8, 1977, having sold 500,000 copies.[2] The album was re-released in 1997 (along with most of Kiss' earlier albums) in a remastered version.
Of all the songs in the album, "Strutter", "Nothin' to Lose", "Deuce", "Cold Gin", "Black Diamond", and "100,000 Years" remain as permanent staples in the band's shows throughout the years. Following the departure of Peter Criss, "Black Diamond" has been performed by his replacements Eric Carr (prior to his death in 1991) and Eric Singer. Contents Album cover
The album's cover showed the group positioned against a black background in a pose visually reminiscent of The Beatles' With the Beatles album (Criss stated that this was the visual effect the band was looking for). Three of the four band members applied their own makeup for the album cover photo, as they usually did; but Peter Criss's makeup was applied by a professional, whose work came out looking quite a bit different from the look Criss had established, and to which he would return immediately afterward. Ace Frehley, wanting to impress the other members of Kiss, dyed his hair with silver spray paint. Not only did it not come out for several weeks, but Frehley suffered an allergic reaction to the silver in it (as can be seen in his later makeup around the eyes).[1]
According to Criss, photographer Joel Brodsky thought Kiss were literally clowns, and wanted to place balloons behind the group for the shoot.[3] Brodsky, however, has denied this, chalking it up to imagination.[1] Track listing

With the exception of "Kissin' Time," all of the material for Kiss was written before the band entered the studio. Some of the songs were written during Wicked Lester's brief existence, while "Firehouse" was written by Paul Stanley while he was attending Music and Art High School in NYC.[1] "Strutter"
"Strutter," which opens the album with a Peter Criss drum fill, is an uptempo rock song that was written before Ace Frehley joined Kiss. Paul Stanley wrote the lyrics, and the music was based on a song Gene Simmons had written years before, "Stanley the Parrot."[1] Simmons and former Wicked Lester member Brooke Ostrander recorded a 45 rpm version of "Stanley the Parrot" in a New Jersey apartment. "Strutter" remains one of the few Kiss songs where Stanley and Simmons share songwriting credits, and was a standard number at Kiss concerts throughout the 1970s. "Nothin' to Lose"
"Nothin' to Lose", the band's first single, is a song written by Gene Simmons and sung by him, Peter Criss and Paul Stanley. The song chronicles the singer coercing his girlfriend into trying anal sex, and her subsequent enjoyment of it. The B-side was "Love Theme From KISS", the album's instrumental. "Firehouse"
The North Carolina glam metal band FireHouse takes its name from the song "Firehouse".[citation needed] The song is well known for Gene Simmons fire breathing during live concerts. "Cold Gin"
This song was the first composed for Kiss by Frehley. Insecure in his own singing ability, Frehley turned over the vocals for the album to Simmons. "Cold Gin" was a concert staple throughout the 1970s. On Kiss' 1996-97 Reunion Tour, Frehley aided on lead vocals.
The song was written by guitarist Ace Frehley and sung by bassist Gene Simmons. The songs refers to the stimulating effect that cold gin supposedly has on the male sex drive. The song credits cold gin as the only thing that keeps the couple together in a troubled relationship.
There was a Kiss tribute band from Los Angeles named after this classic song featuring Kiss member Tommy Thayer as Ace Frehley, Jaime St. James as Peter Criss, Chris McLernon as Gene Simmons and Anthony White as Paul Stanley.
"Cold Gin" was also covered by the alternative metal group Disturbed at a one time tribute show to Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott. It was known to be the guitarist's favorite song. The live performance was performed with members of Drowning Pool and Anthrax live on stage, featuring David Draiman on vocals. Vinnie Paul was on drums.
Pantera and Skid Row performed the song together live while the bands were on tour together in 1992. The performance was taped and included on Pantera's 2000 home video, 3 Vulgar Videos from Hell. Death Angel covered the song on their 1988 album Frolic Through the Park.
Ace Frehley noted "I wrote "Cold Gin" in a New York subway, in my head, both lyrics and music. I had a spiral notebook with me. I never took a guitar lesson, nobody believes that. I didn't realize it was gonna become a Kiss classic."
The song was released live on Kiss' popular and successful live album Alive!. When Alive! was re-released as part of the Kiss Alive! 1975–2000 box set, the song was mistakenly credited to Paul Stanley instead of Ace Frehley in the 72-page booklet that accompanied the album.
Weezer vocalist and guitarist Rivers Cuomo has said that this was the first song he ever learned to play on guitar.[4] "Let Me Know"
"Let Me Know," previously titled "Sunday Driver," was the song Paul Stanley played when he was first introduced to Gene Simmons, and it was later recorded by Wicked Lester. Simmons and Stanley shared lead vocal duties on the song, which was given a bridge and instrumental coda when recorded for Kiss.[1] In later Kiss concerts this coda was moved to the end of "She" and before that, "Watchin' You".
"Deuce"
Although Gene Simmons, "Deuce"'s songwriter, admits that he doesn't know what the lyrics mean,[1] the song nevertheless has been a staple at the band's concerts, opening their shows from 1973–1976 and again for their 1996 reunion. "Love Theme From Kiss"
An instrumental. It came from a song titled "Acrobat" from the band's 1973 club shows; it can be found on their 2001 Box Set. The song is shortened for the album. It is the only Kiss song to have songwriting credit go to all four original members. "100,000 Years"
Begins with a bass solo by Simmons. The live version includes a long drum solo continuing on from the short one found on the album as heard on Alive! The demo version can be heard on the 2001 release of the Box Set. The drum solo is inside the song, and Stanley says "Do you feel all right?" This was done on live performances. Also, there is a lost verse towards the end of the song but it never made the final cut. "Black Diamond"
Begins with Paul Stanley singing the first verse accompanied by an acoustic guitar. After Paul yells out "Hit It!", the full band kicks in and Peter Criss takes over the lead vocals, repeating the first verse. After that they have the chorus (Ooh, Black Diamond). The song then slows down for Ace Frehley to do his guitar solo, after which the song gradually slows down and fades out. After Criss' departure from the band the vocal duties have continued to be by subsequent drummers Eric Carr and Eric Singer. "Kissin' Time"
"Kissin' Time" was not included on the original album; in fact it was not recorded until two months after the album's February release. By April, the album was clearly not the commercial success the band and Casablanca Records founder Neil Bogart were hoping for. Bogart, who knew that a catchy single could save the album, ordered Kiss back into the studio to record "Kissin' Time," which was a Top 20 hit for Bobby Rydell in 1959. It was released as a single on May 10, but never reached any higher than #79. It did, however, boost sales of the album even though it was not added to the album until it was reissued in July 1974 (against the wishes of the band).[1] Personnel

Hotter Than Hell Studio album by Kiss Released October 22, 1974 Recorded The Village Recorder Studios, Los Angeles August 1974 Genre Hard rock, Heavy metal Length 33:07 Label Casablanca Producer Kenny Kerner & Richie Wise Professional reviews
* Allmusic 4/5 stars[1] * Rolling Stone (Positive)[2][dead link] * Pitchfork Media (5.3/10)[3]
Hotter Than Hell is the second album from the rock group Kiss. It was certified Gold on June 23, 1977, having sold 500,000 copies.[4] The album was re-released in 1997 (along with most of Kiss' earlier albums) in a remastered version. The album peaked on the charts at number 100[5] without the benefit of a hit single. Contents The album Move to Los Angeles
The production team of Kenny Kerner and Richie Wise, who had produced the group's first album, was chosen for the follow up. Since the pair had relocated to Los Angeles, Kiss flew there to work with them. The band, all New Yorkers, immediately developed a dislike for their new surroundings. Paul Stanley's guitar was stolen his first day in Los Angeles.
The working title for the album was The Harder They Come.[6] The music
Musically, Hotter Than Hell is darker than the band's first album.[1] This is partly due to the murkier production values, but also to the lyrical content of some of the songs. "Goin' Blind," which details a doomed romance with a 93-year-old and an underage girl,[1] was a song written by Gene Simmons and Stephen Coronel during Wicked Lester's existence. The original title was "Little Lady."
Hotter Than Hell featured far more overdubs than the first album. While Kerner and Wise wanted to produce a record that captured Kiss as a live act, they decided to take advantage of the experience the band had gained as recording artists.
Although the album featured two songs penned solely by Frehley, he did not lead sing either one of them. His lack of confidence in his singing abilities at the time led to lead vocal duties for "Parasite" and "Strange Ways" going to Gene Simmons and Peter Criss, respectively. Frehley's guitar solo in "Strange Ways" has been called one of his best.[1] Photography session
The album is also known for its striking cover: the front featured Japanese manga-influenced artwork, and the back cover showed individual band shots taken by Norman Seeff at a wild party, and a composite of all four band members' makeup designs. Everyone present at the session (with the exception of Simmons) was drunk for the entire photography session. Stanley was so drunk he had to be locked in his car. Paul's drunken state can easily be seen on the album's front cover as it appears Peter Criss is holding him up while Paul holds onto Peter's leg.
The Japanese character on the bottom of the album cover (?) is chikara, which means "power." It would later be used on various forms of Kiss material during the 1970s and 1980s, most prominently on Eric Carr's drum kit.
The Japanese on the top-right corner of the album cover (?? ? ???) is jigoku no sakebi, which means "Hell's shout" or "The shout of hell."
Ace Frehley's image on the front cover is actually airbrushed, as a side of his face was injured in a car accident and was without makeup on the afflicted area at the time of the photo shoot.[citation needed] Also, the Japanese characters used for Ace's name pronounces it wrong. The characters are ??? ???? (eisu fyuuri), which would translate to "Ace Fury." The characters should have been ???????? (esu fureri). A commercial disappointment
Despite the intense touring schedule Kiss maintained in 1974, Hotter Than Hell failed to outperform the band's first album. In fact, it did considerably worse. This was due partly to the fact that Casablanca Records' distribution deal with Warner Bros. Records had ended. The publicity push behind the album was not nearly what it was for Kiss. One notable exception was a television commercial aired to promote the album. The only single released from the album, "Let Me Go, Rock 'n' Roll," was distributed in low numbers and failed to chart. Four months after the album was released, Kiss were pulled off tour and called back into the studio to record a follow up.[1] Hotter Than Hell was certified Gold on June 23, 1977.[4] Live Performances
Many of Hotter Than Hell's songs are live staples for the band, including "Got to Choose", "Parasite", "Hotter Than Hell", "Let Me Go, Rock & Roll", and "Watchin' You".

Dressed to Kill Studio album by Kiss Released March 19, 1975 Recorded Electric Lady Studios, New York City February 1975 Genre Hard rock, Heavy metal Length 30:07 Label Casablanca Producer Neil Bogart & Kiss Professional reviews

Dressed to Kill is a 1975 album from American hard rock group Kiss. It is the band's third studio album and is unique for having been produced by the president of Casablanca Records, Neil Bogart, as the financial situation of the label at the time didn't allow the hiring of a professional producer.[1]
"C'mon and Love Me", and "Rock and Roll All Night" were released as singles. Both failed to rise high on the charts until "Rock and Roll All Night" was released in its live format as a single later that year off their double live album Alive! and reached number 12 on the singles charts.[2]
The album was re-released in 1997[3] (along with most of Kiss' earlier albums) in a remastered version. Possibly due to the very short length of the album, original vinyl versions had unusually long pauses between each track to create the illusion that the sides were longer than they were. Each side ran just 15 minutes, and some of the times of the songs were incorrect on the vinyl versions. For example, "Two Timer" was listed at 2:59 and "Ladies in Waiting" was listed at 2:47.
It peaked at number 32 on the charts[4] and was certified Gold by the RIAA on February 28, 1977.[5]
While the album cover depicts Kiss in business suits, the only member of the band who actually owned one was Peter Criss. The suits worn on the cover by the rest of the band were owned by manager Bill Aucoin.[1]
While "Rock and Roll All Night" remains a permanent staple in the band's concerts (often played to close out a show), there are several other songs still played from this release such as "She", "Rock Bottom" and occasionally "C'mon and Love Me" Contents Track listing

Rock and Roll Over is the fifth studio album by Kiss. Rock and Roll Over was the first Kiss album to ship Gold and would eventually rise to Double Platinum status. It was certified Platinum on January 5, 1977, when it sold 1,000,000 copies[1] and peaked at number 11 on the Billboard pop albums chart.[2]
The album was recorded at the Star Theatre, and in order to get the proper drum sound, Peter Criss recorded the drum tracks in a bathroom, communicating via video-link with the rest of the band. Criss's vocals are featured on the tracks "Baby Driver" and "Hard Luck Woman." Paul Stanley, who originally wanted the song to be sung by Rod Stewart, gave it to Criss, after Gene Simmons insisted Criss sing the song instead. Although the single did not equal the success of "Beth," it did become another Top 20 single for the group. "Calling Dr. Love" would go on to become a concert staple, being played on just about every tour since the album's release.
The cover artwork was created by artist Michael Doret who worked with Kiss again on their 2009 album Sonic Boom.[3] Contents Track listing

KISS Love Gun Casablanca NBLP-7057 Original U.S Pressing Vinyl Rip With Bonus From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Love Gun Studio album by Kiss Released June 30, 1977 Recorded Record Plant Studios, New York City, May 1977 Genre Hard rock Length 32:57 Label Casablanca Producer Kiss & Eddie Kramer Professional reviews

Love Gun is an album by the American hard rock band Kiss. It was certified Platinum on June 30, 1977 when it sold 1,000,000 copies.[1] Love Gun was the second Kiss album to ship platinum, and would eventually achieve triple platinum status.
Love Gun is notable for being the first Kiss album to feature a lead vocal performance from lead guitarist Ace Frehley. This makes Love Gun the first Kiss album to feature lead vocal performances from all four band members. It was also the last album to feature the entire original lineup of Kiss on every track, as drummer Peter Criss was replaced by session drummer Anton Fig for much of 1979's Dynasty.[2]
A cardboard "Love Gun" (assembly required) was included inside the album,[3] along with a Kiss merchandise order form.[4] Contents
Songs "Christine Sixteen"
"Christine Sixteen" has also been a permanent staple on the band's shows. Then unknown guitarist Eddie and drummer Alex Van Halen played on the demo of this song.[5] In this song, Gene Simmons raps like he did later in Domino. "Shock Me"
The song was inspired by an event that took place during Kiss's Rock and Roll Over tour, when Frehley was nearly electrocuted. On December 12, 1976, Kiss performed a concert at the Lakeland Civic Center in Lakeland, Florida. During the opening number, Frehley touched a metal staircase railing, which was ungrounded. Frehley was knocked to the ground, and the concert was delayed for 30 minutes. The show was eventually completed, and Frehley claimed to have lost feeling in his hand for the remainder of the concert.[6] "Tomorrow and Tonight"
This song was written to try and recapture the feeling of "Rock And Roll All Nite," but never reached the success of the original. A soundchecked version appears on Alive II. "Love Gun"
The title song, "Love Gun", has been played on every Kiss tour since its release. Singer, songwriter (and for this one song only bassist)[7] Paul Stanley has cited it as one of his favorite Kiss songs.[8] "Plaster Caster"
Even though none of the band members attended a cast session, the song "Plaster Caster" was inspired by Cynthia Plaster Caster, a former groupie who is infamous for casting penises of famous rock musicians[9] like Jimi Hendrix, as well as breasts of female music artists.[10] "Then She Kissed Me"
The album includes "Then She Kissed Me", a gender-reversed cover of The Crystals' 1963 pop classic "Then He Kissed Me".[11] Cover art
The album cover was painted by fantasy artist Ken Kelly[12] who previously did the cover for 1976's Destroyer.

KISS Alive II Casablanca NBLP-7076 Original U.S Pressing Vinyl Rip With Bonus From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alive II Live album by Kiss Released October 14, 1977 Recorded August-September 1977 Genre Hard rock, heavy metal Length 71:26 Label Casablanca Producer Eddie Kramer & Kiss Professional reviews
* Allmusic 4/5 stars link * Rolling Stone (favorable) link * Pitchfork (7.0) link
Alive II is a 1977 live album from Kiss. It is the group's eighth album and second live album. Contents The songs
The origins of "Alive II" go back to early 1977 when the band's manager, Bill Aucoin, had the idea to have Eddie Kramer record a live album during the evening show at Budokan Hall in Tokyo on April 2, 1977. The plan was to release a live album to give KISS some much deserved time off before recording the album that would become Love Gun later that Fall. Kramer finished work on the album, but Casablanca Records and KISS deemed it unusable, and the band forged ahead with the Love Gun sessions.
Most of the live tracks on Alive II were recorded during the band's August 26-28 residency at the Los Angeles Forum while on the Love Gun tour. The 3:00 PM soundchecks at the August 26 & 27 shows were recorded, and later used on the album (i.e. "Tomorrow And Tonight") with crowd noise being dubbed in later. "Beth" and "I Want You" were lifted from the aborted Japanese live album and used on the finished Alive II.
As the band did not want to duplicate songs included on Alive!, the songs chosen for the three live sides of the album were all drawn from Kiss' three preceding studio albums - Destroyer, Rock and Roll Over and Love Gun.
On the original double album, the songs on side 4 (tracks #6-10 on the second CD) are studio tracks. Although Ace Frehley was originally credited for lead guitar on the studio tracks, the remastered version released in 1997 confirmed what had been speculated by Kiss fans for years - Bob Kulick actually played lead guitar on three tracks ("All American Man", "Rockin' In The U.S.A." and "Larger Than Life"), not Frehley. Frehley's sole involvement for the studio songs was to handle all guitars and bass guitar for "Rocket Ride." Paul Stanley played all guitars on "Any Way You Want It" which was originally recorded by the Dave Clark Five in 1965. Promotional items
The original vinyl issue of Alive II was a 2LP set, in a gatefold sleeve, with picture LP-liners. Continuing the Kiss tradition of including promotional items with their albums, Alive II was packaged with a full color booklet entitled "The Evolution of Kiss". A set of rub-on tattoos in a cartoon-style. The tattoos depicted the band logo, Kiss Army logo, band member heads, member signatures and symbols. The symbols were meant to represent the four personas of the group and included a skull and crossbones for Simmons, a rose and star with eye for Stanley, a Saturn-like planet and block print-style 'ACE' for Frehley and a drum and cat's head for Criss. The rose and 'ACE' are copies of Stanley and Frehley's actual tattoos, respectively.
A merchandise order form was also included with the album. It listed an array of official Kiss merchandise, as well as a chance to "enlist" in the Kiss Army.
Jacket sleeve, picture of crazed KISS fans, in a confetti storm and, "GOLD and PLATINUM" shows the records that were released, in that time frame.

Several early copies of the album's cover feature a rare misprint of 3 additional songs ("Take Me," "Hooligan," and "Do You Love Me") with a slightly altered song order. None of these additional songs, however, appear on the LP. On this misprint, "Take Me" is after "Detroit Rock City," with "King of the Night Time World" appearing after "Ladies Room" on Side 1. Side 2 features "Hooligan" after the song "Shock Me," which is placed after "Hard Luck Woman." On Side 3, "Do You Love Me" appears after "God of Thunder," with "Beth" sandwiched between "I Want You" and "Shout It Out Loud." "Hooligan" and "Take Me" were performed on the Love Gun Tour of 1977, and "Do You Love Me" was performed on the Japanese tour of 1977 making their consideration for inclusion with the second live album possible.

Double Platinum Greatest hits by Kiss Released April 2, 1978 Recorded 1973-1978 Genre Hard rock, heavy metal Length 1:09:36 Label Casablanca Producer Jimmy Ienner (Executive Producer, album and "Strutter '78"), Kiss and Sean Delaney (Producers, album and "Strutter '78"), Kenny Kerner, Richie Wise, Neil Bogart, Eddie Kramer, and Bob Ezrin
Double Platinum is the first greatest hits album by the American hard rock band Kiss.
Many of the songs on Double Platinum were remixed and significantly differ from their original versions. In the case of "Strutter," its drum track was re-recorded with "Strutter '78." Other songs ("Hard Luck Woman," "Detroit Rock City") had sections completely removed, while the beginning of "Black Diamond" was repeated at the end, fading out at the start of the first verse and giving the song a "wrap around" feel.
The original vinyl release, in a gatefold-sleeve, had an embossed, silver-foiled sleeve, with the band members in bas-relief inside. The album was packaged with a printed "Platinum Award" thanking the Kiss Army for making the band a "Double Platinum Success". Later reissues would retain the gatefold-sleeve but replaced the logo with a printed, red-type version and the band members were now represented inside by photos rather than the bas illustrations. When the album was remastered for CD in the US it mimicked the original vinyl.
The album was certified Platinum on May 16, 1978 by the RIAA,[1] ironically it never reached Double Platinum status. In Canada it was certified Gold on June 1, 1978 after selling 50,000 copies.[2]

Dynasty is a studio album by the American hard rock band Kiss. The album, and its subsequent tour, were billed as the "Return of Kiss." The band as a full unit had not released a studio album since 1977 and had not toured since the Spring of 1978. The album would restore the band to commercial prominence, reaching # 9 on the US Billboard album chart.
Kiss enlisted Vini Poncia, who produced Peter Criss's solo album, to produce Dynasty. After pre-production and rehearsals were completed, Poncia decided to exclude Criss from most of the recording, judging him unable to drum well enough. Criss, by this time, had fallen deep into substance abuse and was also recovering from an automobile accident. He performed on only one song, "Dirty Livin'." The rest of the drums were recorded by Anton Fig, who played drums on Ace Frehley's 1978 solo album.
The first single from the album, "I Was Made For Lovin' You," marked a rather drastic stylistic departure for Kiss. It had a pronounced disco beat, and was a success at a time when disco was at its peak popularity.
After waiting nearly two years to record lead vocals for a Kiss song (1977's "Shock Me"), Ace Frehley contributed three to Dynasty - "2000 Man," "Hard Times" and "Save Your Love." "2000 Man," a cover of the 1967 Rolling Stones song, would become a concert staple for Kiss and one of Frehley's signature songs. "Hard Times" and "Save Your Love" were recorded in the same hard rock style as Frehley's solo album. This was the only Kiss album where Frehley sang as many songs as Paul Stanley and more than Gene Simmons. Simmons, one of the band's primary songwriters, sings only two.
While "I Was Made For Lovin' You" remains a permanent staple on the band's shows, much of the album's songs (other than "Sure Know Something," and "2000 Man") have rarely been played live after the Dynasty tour. In 2006, Paul Stanley resurrected "Magic Touch," which was played every night on the "Live to Win" tour.
Serbian glam metal band Karizma chose their name after the song "Charisma". Contents

Unmasked is an album by the American band Kiss released in 1980. It is the group's 8th studio album. At the time it was the last studio album from the original lineup of Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, although Criss actually had no involvement with the recording of the album. Anton Fig (uncredited) played all drums on the album. This album marked another departure for Kiss: this was the first album since 1977's Love Gun not to feature all members on vocals, excluding the four solo releases in 1978.[1]
Although Unmasked marked a major departure musically for the band, the album reached #35 on the U.S. Billboard chart[2] and was certified Gold by the RIAA on July 30, 1980.[3]
The band filmed a promotional video for "Shandi," with Peter Criss. It was the last time Criss appeared with Kiss in any capacity until he performed with them at a Kiss Convention on June 17, 1995. In the band's authorized biography, Criss revealed that he was the last one left in the band's dressing room after filming, and broke down crying.[1]
A lip-synched German television performance of "Talk to Me" and "She's So European" featured the debut of Eric Carr, who became the band's permanent drummer until his death in 1991. The band would play a concert at the now defunct Palladium Theatre in New York to officially introduce Carr as Criss' permanent replacement in the band.
Throughout the years, the album's songs have been largely ignored on live performances - with the exception of "Shandi", which is often played in the band's shows in Australia. Contents

Music from "The Elder" Studio album by Kiss Released November 16, 1981 Recorded March – September 1981 Genre Hard rock Length 42:46 Label Casablanca Producer Bob Ezrin Professional reviews
* Allmusic 2/5 stars link * Rolling Stone 2/5 stars link * Pitchfork Media (0.0) link
Music from "The Elder" is a 1981 concept album released by the American hard rock band Kiss. It was an attempt on the part of the group to establish Kiss as credible artists, and also to reverse the trend of declining album sales and commercial popularity that had begun in 1979. Instead, the album further served to alienate the group's fan base and represents the commercial nadir of the group.[citation needed]
To date, Music from "The Elder" is one of only three Kiss studio albums to fail to earn any US certification (the others are 1997's Carnival of Souls: The Final Sessions and 2009's Sonic Boom). Album sales were so poor that Kiss did not embark on a supporting tour for the first time in its eight-year history, opting instead to make a handful of promotional appearances.[1]
Music from "The Elder" was the last Kiss album that lead guitarist Ace Frehley participated actively until, the 1996 Reunion Tour. Frehley, who was disgruntled with the band's creative direction, as well as with the production of Bob Ezrin, stopped actively participating in the Kiss operation by early 1982, and was officially out of the group by November that same year.[2][3]
While "A World Without Heroes" was later on performed on the band's 1995 MTV Unplugged appearance, the entire album has been largely ignored on live performances. During a show in Australia in 2004, the band attempted to perform "I", but bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons had long forgotten the lyrics.[4] Contents
Kiss was in the midst of a transitional phase as the 1980s began. Founding member and drummer Peter Criss, who was not involved in the recording of 1980's Unmasked, officially left Kiss in May 1980. His replacement, Eric Carr, was officially introduced in July. The group had recently embarked on a hugely successful tour of Australia and New Zealand (where the group's popularity was at its peak) in November, but the band's commercial fortunes at home were drastically reduced from their 1975-79 heyday. Due to the lackluster sales of Unmasked, Kiss toured exclusively outside the United States for the first time in their career, save for one concert at the now-defunct Palladium Theatre in New York. The overseas tours were well-attended, partly because Kiss had rarely ventured abroad and because the more pop oriented Dynasty and Unmasked albums did better in the European markets than their earlier more hard rock albums had.[1][2]
This commercial downturn is attributable to many factors, two of the biggest being the softening of Kiss's image in an effort to appeal to a broader fan base, and the softening of their music. Unmasked was a decidedly more pop-oriented effort than earlier albums, and represented a sales dropoff of 65% from 1979's Dynasty.[1] It also became the first Kiss album to fail to achieve platinum status since 1975's Dressed to Kill. From a marketing standpoint, the glut of Kiss merchandising that had cropped up in the late 1970s had led to a backlash from fans, who felt that Kiss was now more concerned with making money than with making music.[2]
In an effort to return to their hard rock roots, Kiss began recording music that was more akin to the hard rock style that had launched them to popularity in the mid-1970s. The Fall 1980 issue of the Kiss Army Newsletter hinted at the style the new album was to take—"It will be hard and heavy from start to finish—straight-on rock and roll that will knock your socks off."[3] But at the same time, founding members Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, and creative manager Bill Aucoin felt that just returning to a harder sound was not enough. They believed that only a bold artistic statement would regenerate public interest in Kiss. To that end, they enlisted producer Bob Ezrin to work with the group who in turn daringly employed members from the American Symphony Orchestra and St. Robert's Choir to record tracks for the album. Ezrin had worked with the group before, producing the group's hit 1976 album Destroyer. More recently, he had co-produced Pink Floyd's landmark 1979 concept album, The Wall. Simmons, Stanley and Aucoin felt that Ezrin could help bring their ambitions to fruition.[2] Recording
Recording sessions for the album commenced in March 1981. Sessions were held in Toronto, New York City, and guitarist Ace Frehley's home studio in Wilton, Connecticut. During the recording, Ezrin and Kiss worked in complete secrecy. Ezrin, in particular, had insisted that he would only communicate with Kiss or Bill Aucoin. No one other than Ezrin and Kiss ever heard the album in progress.[2]
Frehley became increasingly frustrated during the sessions, as he disagreed with the band's decision to abandon their original plan to record a straight-ahead rock album. Additionally, a number of guitar solos Frehley recorded were not included in the final cut.[5] But, as happened frequently after Criss's departure, Frehley was often outvoted 2-1 on band decisions of this type. (Carr was not a partner in Kiss as the other three members were, but rather an employee). He also resented what he felt was Simmons and Stanley's domination of the recording sessions.[2][5] Reaction
When Kiss premiered Music from "The Elder" for their management and record company in October 1981, the reaction was a mixture of confusion and resentment. Business manager Howard Marks refused to allow his company's name to appear in the liner notes.[2] Fan reaction to the album was equally harsh, while critical reaction was comparably positive. But while reviews like the one printed by Rolling Stone were much kinder than past ones had been[6], the album quickly disappeared from the charts. After being released on November 16, it peaked at a dismal #75, and it disappeared from the charts by February 1982.
Although budgets were prepared for a tour, none was ever undertaken. The only public appearances the band made in conjunction with the album were a January 15, 1982 appearance on the late-night comedy show Fridays (they performed "A World Without Heroes", "I" and "The Oath"), Solid Gold (they performed "A World Without Heroes", and "I"), and a January 28 lip synched performance of "I" from Studio 54 that was broadcast via satellite to the Sanremo Festival in Italy. Frehley was a no show for the Studio 54 appearance, so the group performed as a trio.[1]
Most of the participants in the album's recording admit that it was a major misstep for Kiss. Ezrin, despite what was his recent success with the even more ambitious The Wall, admitted that his judgments concerning Music from "The Elder" were clouded due in large part to a cocaine addiction at the time. Stanley and Simmons admit that they were "delusional" concerning the project, while Frehley has stated that he felt that it wasn't a good idea to begin with.[5]
Q Magazine ranked Music From "The Elder" 44th in their list of The 50 Worst Albums Ever.[7]
To this day, Music From "The Elder" had now became a cult classic, to fans and still crawling to 500,000 copies. Artwork
The original vinyl release was a gatefold-sleeve. For the first time, a Kiss album featured no image of the group, let alone the customary front-cover appearance. Contrary to popular belief, the hand reaching for the door-knocker is not that of Paul Stanley: Bill Aucoin has stated that it belongs to a hand-model, hired specifically for the shoot. The door itself belongs to a Methodist church on Park Avenue, New York City. One of the rarest releases by Kiss on vinyl was an alternate cover of the Elder released in Turkey on Dallas Records which used the "A World Without Heroes" single art (Pictured below) on the cover.
The photo session displayed a change of image: the costumes were more streamlined, especially when compared with the somewhat overblown (even for Kiss) costumes for Unmasked, as were the hairstyles of Stanley and Simmons in particular. Story
The basic plot of Music from "The Elder" involves the recruitment and training of a young hero (The Boy) by the Council of Elders who belong to the Order of the Rose, a mysterious group dedicated to combating evil. The Boy is guided by an elderly caretaker named Morpheus. The album's lyrics describe the boy's feelings during his journey and training, as he overcomes his early doubts to become confident and self-assured. The only spoken dialogue is at the end of the last track, "I." During the passage, Morpheus proclaims to the Elders that The Boy is ready to undertake his odyssey. Songs Dutch single cover to "The Oath" b/w "I" single. Australian single cover of the "A World Without Heroes" b/w "Dark Light" single.
The version of Music from "The Elder" released in the United States, Europe and Brazil contained a different song order than the one originally intended. This order was chosen in order to emphasize "The Oath" and "A World Without Heroes" as potential singles (the two songs started each side of the record). One effect this alteration in song order had was to disrupt the narrative flow of the album's story. The Japanese pressing of the album contained the intended song sequence, although "Escape from the Island" was omitted from the album and instead included as the B-side of "The Oath" single.[3] This sequence was used (with the inclusion of "Escape from the Island") when Music from "The Elder" was re-released on CD in 1997.[8]
A number of narrative passages were cut from the final version of the album. These passages were meant to provide details of the story, and to act as transitional elements between songs.[3] ] "The Oath"
Arguably the heaviest song on the album, many parts of the song feature Paul Stanley singing in falsetto, a vocal technique Paul utilized on several of the album's tracks. Ace tunes down his guitar a semi-tone for this song. "Dark Light"
"Dark Light," written by Ace Frehley, was based on a guitar riff composed by Anton Fig. When it was originally recorded as a pre-Elder demo, the title was "Don't Run."[3] It is the only song Frehley sings on the album. "A World Without Heroes"

Alternate cover German release of Killers, featuring a modified band logo
Killers is the second compilation album by American hard rock group Kiss. The album was released only outside the United States, but quickly became available as an import. Of the twelve songs on Killers, four were new compositions recorded specifically for the album. These new songs were recorded at the behest of Phonogram Records in response to the commercial failure of 1981's Music from "The Elder".[1] Contents
Album history
By 1982, Kiss's commercial popularity was at its nadir. 1980's Unmasked barely achieved gold certification, and the band toured exclusively outside the United States for the first time in their career that year. 1981's Music from "The Elder" fared even worse—it failed to gain any certification and the band did not tour behind it at all.[2] The album, released in November 1981, was off the charts by February 1982.[1]
That month, Phonogram Records (the parent company of Kiss's label, Casablanca Records) requested that Kiss record four new songs, to be included in an upcoming greatest hits album. Phonogram requested hard rock songs specifically, in contrast to the progressive rock style of Music from "The Elder". The album cover, however, featured the same streamlined look the band had adopted during the "Elder" period.[1]
Numerous outside songwriters and session musicians were employed for the writing and recording of the four new songs on Killers. Songwriter and musician Mikel Japp, who co-wrote three songs on Paul Stanley's 1978 solo album, co-wrote "Down on Your Knees" with Stanley and Bryan Adams. Adam Mitchell, another outside songwriter, was brought in by producer Michael James Jackson.[3]
Despite being pictured on the album's cover art (from the photo-session for "Music From The Elder"), lead guitarist and co-founder Ace Frehley did not participate at all in the production of Killers. He had essentially ended his active involvement with Kiss in late 1981, although he would not officially leave the group until the end of 1982, after the release of this compilation.[1][2] His replacement for the Killers sessions was Bob Kulick, who had previously subbed for Frehley on a handful of studio tracks on 1977's Alive II. However, whereas Kulick had been asked to mimic Frehley's playing style when recording for Alive II, he was permitted to employ his own techniques for Killers.[3]
Due to the large volume of Kiss live albums and greatest hits albums already available domestically, Phonogram decided to issue the album outside the United States.[1] The album sold in moderate numbers, reaching its highest chart position of #6 in Norway. Elsewhere, Killers peaked at #21 and #27 in Australia and Japan, respectively. In Sweden and the United Kingdom, it reached #41 and #42, respectively. None of the singles released from the album, however, charted in any country.[3] Track listing Side one

The release in Japan featured two additional tracks not found on the album as released in all other countries: "Escape from the Island" (Frehley, Eric Carr, Ezrin) and "Shandi" (Stanley, Poncia). Additionally, the version released in Australia consisted of the 12 tracks listed above and also included "Talk to Me" (Frehley) and "Shandi" (Stanley, Poncia). Also of note is the popular misconception that "Shout It Out Loud" on this release is a remixed version. This is not the case, however; it is the U.S. single version that merely fades out at the end rather than its abrupt album counterpart. Personnel

KISS Creatures of the Night Casablanca NBLP-7270 Vinyl Rip FLAC With Bonus From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Creatures of the Night Studio album by Kiss Released October 13, 1982 Recorded July-September 1982 Genre Hard rock, heavy metal Length 38:47 Label Casablanca Producer Michael James Jackson, Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons Professional reviews
* Allmusic 4/5 stars link * Pitchfork Media (1.5) link * Vista Records 4.25/5 stars link
Creatures of the Night is a 1982 album from U.S. hard rock/heavy metal band Kiss. It is the band's 10th studio album and the last for Casablanca Records, the only label the group had ever recorded for up to that point. The album was also dedicated to the memory of Casablanca founder and early Kiss supporter Neil Bogart, who had died of cancer during the recording sessions.
The album represented a conscious effort on Kiss's part to return to the style of hard rock/heavy metal that had helped them achieve commercial success in the 1970s. That success had been in decline since 1979's album Dynasty and 1980's Unmasked. Kiss knew it needed to deliver on their earlier promise of a heavy record if they were to continue as a band. The first key ingredient was songwriter/guitarist Vincent Cusano, with whom the band had recently begun writing and recording, and was soon to replace Frehley as the band's new lead guitarist. Frehley didn't perform on this album and this was Vinnie Vincent's first album with the band. On the tour, Vincent was introduced with Ankh warrior makeup.
Some early pressings of the album mistakenly contained one full side of John Cougar's American Fool. Both Kiss and Cougar were under the umbrella of Mercury Records at the time. Today, those mistake albums are highly sought after by Kiss collectors.
Creatures of the Night was certified Gold on May 9, 1994.
"I Love It Loud" remains a permanent staple on the band's live performances. "I Still Love You" and "War Machine" have been occasionally played on some of the band's more recent shows. Contents
Album background As shown on the back of the "I Love It Loud" single, Ace Frehley was still portrayed as a member of Kiss, despite ceasing his active involvement with the group in 1981.
By 1982, Kiss' popularity in the U.S. had plummeted
