[QUOTE="Moulin Rogue, post: 320528, member: 1192"] I have all their albums except two or three. I've pretty much had it with the stupid events of the past couple years such as Peter Criss and Ace Frehley being replaced by two other guys.... wearing ACE and PETER'S makeup! Plus Gene's merchandising got really dumb again... a friggin' KISS Kasket? Gene is really, really greedy and arrogant, seeming to openly flaunt that he uses the KISS name purely to make money now. And now the good - I saw them in '98 and they put on THE live show with the explosions and the fire and the whole thing. They are arena rock entertainment, pure and simple, and I enjoy it on that level, the same way a lot of you enjoy summer action movies with bad dialogue and lots of stuff blowing up in cool ways. We can't be thinking hard [i]all[/i] the time, now. My favourite KISS albums: Hotter Than Hell ('74) - sludgy, garage-y rock, the party attitude is there in places but this album is quite heavy for its time. You can kinda hear how some Seattle grunge bands grew up listening to KISS. Alive ('75) - proof that KISS was in their element live. Peter Criss is often slagged as a bad drummer but I think he was good on the early stuff, check out his work on "Parasite"! If you could only have one KISS album... Rock and Roll Over ('76) - Lots of (IMO) underrated KISS songs like "Take Me", "Mr. Speed" and "Baby Driver". Love the production job on this one too. The last album before Peter Criss' drumming skills pretty much tanked due to coke. Ace Frehley solo ('78) - the solo albums were mostly bloated and self-indulgent, but Ace's just had an extra fire and focus to it, like he really needed to get this out and made a strong effort. Nothing great in the lyrics or vocals to be sure, this is just good hooky hard rock, maybe backed by a high Ace Charisma roll or something. Creatures of the Night ('82) - after the Elder bombed, the band went back to their hard rocking roots. This is VERY heavy for KISS and quite dark in mood for them too - if they weren't metal here, they never were. Eric Carr's drums sound like CANNONS. Too bad it bombed as well. [/QUOTE]
