Thanks for the correction. I just remember it being the same from near the end of the show from the Love Gun tour. Only tour I remember with the giant cats when the drums lifted. It was a long time ago.
I saw KISS many times over the years and probably my favorite memory was them opening with Detroit Rock City at Cobo Hall in Detroit on the Destroyer tour.
 
Do any of you remember the paper gun that came with the Love Gun album? I just thought of it as I was reading everyone's memories here.

The center photograph in Alive II is from the Love Gun tour at the very end of the show when the drums lifted high in the air and they were doing Black Diamond. Seeing it live was fairly spectacular by any measure.

Alive II will always be my favorite KISS album. I was just a little kid and that album just blew me away. From that huge, mind-blowing picture (to a kid) to the tone on the opening chords on "Makin Love"... I was just such a huge KISS fan until I got older and got more into Rush. But I'm still a fan of their early work for sure. I remember my parents not liking my KISS obsession and throwing my Alive II album away. So I walked through a cold, snowy Wyoming winter several miles to the local Gibsons/Pamida store and bought another! My parents kind of gave-up on that style of parenting after that and encouraged my musical obsession. Has served me well over my 48 year life.

That Alive II center photo was what had me mesmerized too. 4th grade for me. I was Paul for Halloween and a town parade. Good times lol. That Ace losing his home thing has been going on for awhile and is supposedly false per him, but who knows

I painted myself up as Gene for Halloween (twice!) and went to this "slow" kid's' house in our trailer court. When he answered the door he ran screaming to his mom that there was a monster at the door! :lol: :LOL:

That picture on the cover of a blue-tinted Gene spitting-up blood just friggin fascinated me. Ace was my favorite KISS member for sure (and his solo album was the only good one of the bunch), but Gene was just such a charismatic figure to a kid.

Coolest album photo... EVAR!!! :rock:

I think that photo fueled my rock star dreams from an early age.
 
I remember getting some Kiss Tattoo's inside the Alive II albums.

Anyone else remember them ?

Oh yes , there was always some goodies included in the KISS albums. Alive and Alive ll had some cool color booklets and there was always an order form to join the KISS Army . The `97 remaster CD of Alive ll came with those tattoos when I bought it in 97

Great story. My parents were similar and hated KISS in every way. Never supported my music/guitar playing in any way. They use to take my guitar away from me when I got in trouble if you can believe that? They knew it was my world and it was the only thing they could do to get to me. I still harbour ill will about that parenting debacle........ :doh:
 
First song I ever learned was Detroit Rock City.
I was so stoked when I got it down. :lol: :LOL:
 
As cool as I thought the studio tracks on Alive ll and the solo albums were at the time they could have put out a really cool double studio album using the studio tracks from Alive ll and the really good stuff from the solo albums and the few rocking tunes that made Dynasty. They still could have had there disco hit with I Was Made For Loving you plus Aces New York Groove would have been in there . Oh well just a thought
 
This is just so bad ass. I wish they would of played it at the show I just saw.
So much better then the studio.
Paul explained it best. ;)

That's too bad man. My parents never became KISS fans by any stretch, but they sort of just looked the other way after that. In full disclosure, i was the oldest of five kids and never got into any real trouble of any kind. Before i was 16 i could be found fishing at the river by our house almost every day. And after i started playing guitar at 16 i could be found locked in my room woodshedding. It was always those two things or reading sci-fi/fantasy books. No partying or getting into trouble. So they had it pretty good with me. Now my youngest brother and sister... they aged my parents about 50 years after they hit their teens.
