But- I like "old" KISS, not the crap they put out later on. After the make-up came off, and Paul Stanley pretty much quit playing guitar and just danced around, they more or less well...sucked.I've got all their stuff on vinyl (except the last few that weren't released on vinyl) and have seen them in concert many times (including the old days when they wore make-up as well as the reunion tour a few years ago with make-up again). The three albums that really sucked (IMHO) when they still wore make-up were Unmasked, Dynasty, and the Elder. Too poppy, disco, BS kinda music. (And the Elder was KISS's version of a concept album, like Operation Mindcrime that Queensryche did- only QR's was 10x better and made a lot more sense)Saw them a couple of times after they took the make-up off (and had Vinnie Vincent, Mark St John, or Bruce Kulick playing guitar and Eric Carr on drums) but they pretty much sucked.So- yes, I am a fan. Have been since I was 8, but I prefer the make-up and old sound to the stuff they through out in the mid to late 80's and 90's (although Revenge wasn't that bad of an album).</blockquote>
