    This was the period where they lost a lot of their original fan base, I went to 3 shows on the Love Gun tour, 2 on Destroyer, 2 on Alive, & the audiences were mostly like any other audience of say 15-22 year olds , but by the time Dynasty came around the audience was predominantly parents with 8-12 year olds

      In my opinion, Kiss from 1973 to 1977 is pure magic. It's no mystery why they became the biggest band in the world at that time. No one else had ever done that before.
      By the time of the solo albums, Double Platinum, and Dynasty the cracks began to show. However, I will defend Dynasty as a great record even if it was a little different than what they did before.
      Suffice it to say that I love all the eras even if the original is my favorite. I can still listen to anything from Unmasked to Psycho Circus and enjoy it.
      I'm not a huge fan of Sonic Boom or Monster but even they have their moments.

      Although my Kiss days started in 78, I immediately went back to the beginning of their career. Then from that point forward I was and I am a life long fan. Then in 1982 I did a road trip to Chattanooga TN from Atlanta Ga to see Vinnie in the Creature’s tour, right before the makeup was removed.. (I was 17 yrs old). And that’s a whole other story. But I made sure I saw them every year in the non makeup years. (Seen them something like 18 or 20 times since)…. All different members and all reunion stuff and the last current members. Love that Band, Love that Band…. Fan for life…

    Back in the day... 1978-1979 I would go see them every time they were in town. I bought shirts, belt buckles, posters, and I always enjoyed myself at their shows. They were great live. Hell of a show. Now that I'm older and all I hear is how they bag on each other. It really disapoints me. There's an old saying "It's better to burn out than to fade away".
    Even Ace's new album sounds too much like the old days. I myself have grown and adjusted to the newer styles of Rock and Roll.

    Another really trash journalism on the band this 20/20 segment was even worse than The Land of Hype and glory on nbc from a year earlier, Dynasty was the beginning of the end of Kissteria they were having trouble selling out shows the costumes were becoming ridiculous they were no longer the respected kick ass hard rocking band but were turning into Liberace onstage the age of the people attending the shows was trending downward real KIDDIE SAT MORNING crap instead of the monster that was Kiss from the previous years. The dolls and all the other stuff that was being sold in the stores had a lot to do with them losing a big part of the original audience that made them big in the Mid 70's and it was all downhill from 79 onward up until the REUNION 96 that resurrected the Kiss brand.

Peter Miss the 1920 Big swing jazz roaring from out of 1920s could not even play single bass let alone double bass. And they finally got real guitarist Vincent & Kulick !

    Kiss was a live Spectacle every night and people love a Spectacle especially if it’s spectacular with Fireworks and Explosions and Drum Risers and Make Up and Costumes! And kids love the Circus too and Kiss was the Live Circus with Rock music and a Fire Breather even! And there were four of them like the Beatles. That was correct number so that fans could pick their favorite. I like Ace and Peter the best! So fans could choose who they liked the most.
    Like Lennon once said a fan could dig one Beatle if they didn’t like everyone so they would still be a loyal fan to one of them. This was brilliant marketing! You could choose from John, the witty, acerbic one, Paul the cute one, George the quiet one or Ringo the funny one. Brilliantly done! One Appealing to everyone! This idea works!
    So Kiss copied the best and most popular group in history. Only Kiss call it Kisstory! So they made a Mint!
