I'm not a huge fan, but there will always be room in my music collection for Double Platinum.

I've been on a Carnival Of Souls kick lately. I loved KISS' moody and experimental side!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carniva...Final_Sessions
Some of my faves from this album:Recorded in late 1995/early 1996, Kiss cancelled the album's original release as they instead committed to a reunion tour with the band's original lineup. Bootleg copies were circulated by fans, prompting the band to officially release the material in 1997.
Yeah, it gets dismissed out of hand as "Kiss goes grunge!" but I think it's a pretty darn good album. It's really the only post-Creatures Of The Night" Kiss that I wanna hear.Originally Posted by Gruno
So, you like experimental Kiss? Do you know The Elder, by chance?
The Elder? I might have heard of that...
Another nugget that didn't make Carnival of Souls:
KISS is currently off on their annual KISS KRUISE.
They performed an acoustic set when the ship departed:
Comin' Home
Christine Sixteen
Hide Your Heart
Nothin' To Lose
Got To Choose
Cold Gin
Strutter (partial)
Goin' Blind
Hotter Than Hell
Take Me
Love Her All I Can
Parasite
The first concert seems to have been a gem!
KKIII Night #1 Setlist
Anything For My Baby
Shout It Out Loud
LADIES IN WAITING
Do You Love Me
Almost Human
Hell Or Hallelujah
War Machine
The Oath
Say Yeah
Mainline
Lick It Up
Love Gun
Let Me Know
Black Diamond
Detroit Rock City
Rock And Roll All nite
Since Peter Criss sang on the studio version of Mainline, does Eric Singer sing on the live version?
Used to always just call them PISS, thinking they were about the most lame and deluded assholes that ever walked... but now after seeing that they deserve to be referred to in a more dignified light I just call them urine.
The place you'll find KISS & The Boss playing together is the 8th Circle of HellThe Boss and Kiss shouldn't mix.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?
There are only 10 types of people in the World, those who understand binary and those that don't.
A terrible band.
Yes, Eric handles the vocals and does a good job.
"Almost Human" (from Love Gun) was the treat for me to finally see/hear live. This Kruise is the first time they have ever performed this live. This has always been a favorite track of mine. I wish Gene would use this as his solo section of the show where he does his bass solo and vomits blood.
Kinda neat to hear them pulling out stuff like Almost Human and Mainline. Nice to also see The Oath in that setlist too. I always liked the video clip I saw, I think they were playing in Australia somewhere, where they sort of teased bits of The Oath and I, with Gene saying something like "I have no idea how that fucking song goes", and Paul says "Maybe there's a reason why we don't remember how to play them".
Hey Gruno -
How come Gene insists on wearing that dead squirrel on his head? I know he's bald, but can't he get a better rug?
Most fans refer to it as "the raccoon". Although, the racoon seems to have been put into retirement about 10 years ago or longer.
Here in 2001, you can see Gene with his natural hair. Note the hairline. I think this was a good look for him:
As far as his current hair. I believe it is a mixture of real hair and implants. He wears a full wig on stage, as does Paul Stanley. They don't really hide that fact now and consider it part of the stage uniform. In years past (circa 1990), crew members would get fired on the spot if any mention of the word "wig" was made. There was an entire road case designated specifically for the wigs to dry between shows.
This look really fits Gene:
And Paul, to a degree:
What has really messed up Gene is his dumb facelift he did:
Ive said it on PE countless times: If a person judges KISS by music alone, they are completely missing the point.
KISS isnt a band. They are the epitome of a much larger category: they are "Entertainment" ---- and that's a huge distinction
Gene should have bit the bullet and shaved his head years ago. He'd look, ironically, younger.
Paul with a shaved head and a suit screams "Sopranos extra."
Still, he's aged really well.
Maybe as a jewish accountant.
The Paul as a bald man pic is a photoshop thing. Paul's been using extensions since the late 80s and wigs since 96.
The bald Gene pic is makeup done for a tv thing.
Paul is in great shape. Especially for someone in their mid 60s. Paul MacCartney, The Rolling Stones, The Who...they all put on classic rock shows and entertain for a couple of hours live on stage. Paul and Gene, in their 60s, put on a great show while wearing 7 inch boots and all that stage gear while jumping around and such. Every show I see I am amazed at their energy.
Man, those pics are going to give me nightmares.
I think Paul Stanley is an incredible singer. Blows away most prog rock singers.
And Kiss has never been about technical playing, it's about playing with your dick!
And the song Nowhere To Run is awesome! Paul does some amazing things vocally.

This is probably my favorite Kiss song of all time!
