The "KISStory" series on the kiss diaries channel is well-done and entertaining; various members of Kiss recounting the drama since the beginning.
I have "King of the Nighttime World" on my phone, and I crank it up in the truck whenever I drive thru Chick Fil-AUnderstood. Actually seen Kiss on the '75 Alive tour and as a kid they blew me away. There stage show was incredible for the time...still is. I was front row and felt the heat from flames out of Gene's mouth. By early 80's I lost all interest and it never returned. Wife loves them and seen them multiple times so she'll breakout the popcorn air popper and be riveted to the TV.

Nothing else.
...so far.
Never really liked them UNTIL COTN. But that record was good. And other than the horrible title track, LIU was good too. I saw the LIU tour and it was right about then I ordered a custom Randy Rhodes Custom which had only just been released. But not pink.And funny enough their best album (COTN) didn't have Ace on it. I'm a huge fan, lost count on how many times I've seen them but Creatures is absolutely smoking album. And it still stands up today.
well, selling out arenas and stadiums, making millions, having multiple platinum and gold sales and having girls throw themselves at you, etc., for 40+ years could have that effect on anyone.Ace Spaceman Frehley. The king of beginner level pentatonic solos and vibrato that rivals Kirk Hammett and C.C. Deville.
I used to have a soft spot for Ace but he has been a drunken bitter fuck most of his career, and It goes beyond with him having to deal with 2 of the biggest ego maniacs in the industry/his band.
LIU was a solid album as well. I wished they had stayed with the same type production as on COTN. The production on that album is just so good, crystal clear almost. Robben Ford, and Steve Farris have some really good solo's on that album. Farris got offered the gig but couldn't sing, so they went with Vincent. LIU while good itself was tamed down a bit.Never really liked them UNTIL COTN. But that record was good. And other than the horrible title track, LIU was good too.

And one of the many reasons he was shown the door. I actually like VV's playing on COTN and LIU, it was tight, controlled and he could play with melody when he wanted too. It fit Kiss. On the COTN tour he was somewhat in the pocket but he went mental on the LIU tour. With his band he was just puking notes.What’s crazy was VV was obv copping Ace in KISS, esp on COTN but then the Invasion was full on blown wad on every song. Total 180.
