I saw Ace talking about them stealing Alice Cooper’s makeup idea in “KISS: Beyond the Makeup”, which you can watch on YT. So yeah, they’ve admitted it.

Gene invented everything, just ask him. He even said he discovered ACDC. They were already the biggest band in Oz so went to England. They became even more huge. But hey...Gene discovered them.
Zappa had tried to sign AC/DC in 75 when he saw them while he was touring Australia. They turned him down because they were loyal to Alberts/interested in bigger international labels. He was onto them loooooong before Gene.

@@awcindy 👏👏👏 I love RJD. RIP. As for Gene, I do remember him saying that he invented band merchandising.🤭 Sure it was more successful than their music due to their gimmicks but invented? One only needs to look back at those merchandising for Elvis or the Beatles.
In 1979 a gang of Rural English heavy rock / metal wankers sat in total anticipation as a Kiss LP was lowered onto a turntable. We were into Sabbath, Free, Rory Gallagher Purple , Mountain , Rush ,Motörhead , AC/DC , Priest , Aerosmith etc & were well aware of the bands’ destructive and shocking reputation - but hadn’t heard a single song by them . We expected something heavier than a ten ton truck , louder than The Who and nastier than Alice Cooper or the Pistols with a bad hangover on speed . Disbelief is the emotion I remember. They sounded more like a tinny Sweet - Lite .I don’t wanna disrespect any bands’ honest efforts but they just didn’t match the hype . Probably great fun live if you’re loaded . 👍
Not only was that episode of Nitro was the lowest ever but they played one song and introduced the Kiss Demon who Bischoff had wanted to be the first of a freaking stable of Kiss related wrestlers. And I love that Gene Simmons/Donald Trump analogy. This episode is so amazing and so hilarious!!!!!!
The only good thing that's even remotely related to KISS, is the comedian Craig Gass doing impressions of the creepy tongue guy, and one of the other boobs in the band.
Kiss had some good songs, some mediocre songs, and mostly crap songs. I mean people like Eric Singer and Bruce Kulick were actually solid at their instruments. (Frehley in his sober mind was too)
I was waiting for you to mention Kiss Meets the Phantom of Park.🤣 Gene Simmons' mom was a holocaust survivor so it's safe to say the ss wasn't intentional
KISS are legends of rock music. Lyrics a bit lame but they not trying to be clever, Paul is a rock star. Bland at times , talentless I couldn't say that, not the greatest players but they do fine. Gene a bad human wow and we all want our music heroes to be good humans that behave well do we? A bit of personality and fun is good, and to be an overly arrogant fukhead is better than boring ordinary ugly Joe fckin bloggz
Surprised you didn't mention the story on how they wanted to buy songs off of Pentagram after Gene and Paul saw them rehearse some time. Pentagram's first jam probably had more good songs than they had in four albums.
I think my favorite KISS story is about the time Gene Simmons tried to call Kurt Cobain while Nirvana was recording In Utero in Minnesota, and Steve Albini took the call at Cobain's behest, since he didn't want to talk to Simmons. Then Gene Simmons would tell the story of how he talked to Kurt Cobain, and Steve Albini didn't reveal (to the general public, at least) that he was really the one who had talked to Gene Simmons until he was interviewed by Nardwuar.
Some of the members were good musicians. Namely Vinnie Vincent, Bruce Kulick, Eric Carr. When it comes to the original flour then yeah they weren't that good
I've heard a lot of drummers with better technical ability than Peter Criss do drum solos, but the vast majority of those aren't as enjoyable to listen to as the drum solo in God of Thunder from Alive 2.
I love KISS, simply because my mom introduced them to me as a little kid. And as much as I may love them, I will be the first to admit that they are miles away from being extraordinary musicians. Their early music I like, but everything else is hit or miss with me. I mostly consider their music as fast food rock. It’s fun to listen to every so often, but you know damn well that there’s way better shit out there.
@@luismaldonado4989 Song "Exciter" from the album Lick it up is DEFINITELY not a bad song. Cool heavy metal song, Vinnie Vincent co write and played on it, also Eric Carr was solid. Half of the band were actually talented at the time lol
@Cherry Red Not everything Kiss did was objectively bad. They wrote a couple solid songs, usually with help from a talented songwriter and musicians. "Exciter" for instance, good heavy metal track.
Can you gentlemen please do Michael Jackson next? Thanks. As big of an asshole as Gene Simmons is, I don't imagine there will be an HBO special called "Leaving The Kiss Army" anytime soon.
It’s easy sell to merchandise when you literally put your stupid logo or ugly faces on everything. I love hating on Kiss especially Gene Simmons 🤮 look up VD and there is a picture of Gene Simmons
Best Kiss album was Lick it up. That's probably because Vinnie Vincent who was a good songwriter and guitarist, it was also one of their heaviest efforts and had Eric Carr on drums who was actually solid. "Exciter" is actually a cool song, "a million to one" also.
As musicians they have always sucked. I love how Kiss went from being the biggest band in the 70’s to taken off the makeup and turning into Ratt. Seriously the became just another run of the mill hair metal band.
You guys should do a video on bands that you do like. In another video you were wearing a kiss shirt so I'm confused. I would question if you like any bands hahaha
They are doing this show for people that DISLIKE a certain band. Some people dislike Motley and like Stone Temple Pilots. Others hate STP and like Motley. They did a video for each one of those that way EVERYONE is included and they get more views. It’s a marketing strategy

In the middle of listening to this podcast, I checked out Kiss playing 'Detroit Rock City' on the Stern show. My verdict: you guys are nowhere near brutal enough in describing how much Kiss blows.
Most bands at the time did overdubs on their "live albums" it was standard. Then again I wouldn't expect non-musicians with no knowledge of music history and industry to know this
They were big during my high school years- I always thought they were goofy with bad music. Many years later I went back to listen and give them the benefit of the doubt. I was right in high school- they're lame
I loathe Simmons, and Stanley cause he enables his boyfriend. Ace and Peter seem more down to earth. I listened to Kiss in 1979, when I was 4. I will say, “Got To Choose” is a decent song.
Kiss is one of those bands that were so hilariously bad that through that they were good in early days of the band. Ace and Gene are good at lead and bass guitar players. They ripped off alice cooper, who copied arthur brown. Kiss had the quintessential 70’s disco label, Casablanca records.
This band is literally only listenable with ace freely and even then the debut album is ok but I won't ever seek any kiss records for my collection personally fuck gene simmons
