Members surfcat Posted July 18, 2008 Members Share Posted July 18, 2008 Just getting back into their '70's stuff since I got the dvd collection pt.1. Just to keep it pedal related, I was getting very close to their live sound with my Hamer Studio and Menatone Blue Collar through a Traynor Ycv40wr. I didn't even have to break out the Marshall. Don't pretend they're not the hottest band in the land. Fun stuff to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy that said Kiss is a brand, not a band, I disagree. They may have become that, but their early stuff was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Riffer Posted July 18, 2008 Members Share Posted July 18, 2008 I love the fuk outta their first three albums. Was a fan until Dynasty, and luckily the NWOBHM saved me. Ace taught me how to play...psychically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members anglerfish Posted July 18, 2008 Members Share Posted July 18, 2008 I do not appreciate KISS. But two of my bandmates do, so we did a cover of Strutter once. I am the singer and guitar player, so that was particularly painful for me. Just felt the need to share. Carry on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mmcquain Posted July 18, 2008 Members Share Posted July 18, 2008 Jan. 1978 was my first rock concert... Ace "sealed the deal" and I knew I had to have a real Gibson Les Paul. Great stuff... not serious music but it was fun... and as a teenager in the 70's, that's what I wanted: have fun, play guitar, meet girls... KISS was all about that. Like a lot of the guys on here (more than will probably admit) I had there first 10 albums or so (everything thru Dynasty, including solo albums). After that I sorta' out grew 'em (more into guitarist like Betts, Rossington, Duane, SRV, BB, etc.) but it is still fun to go back to some of their old stuff from time-to-time and have some fun again. I was lucky enough to take my son (he was 4 at the time and loved Ace) to see 'em a few years back. It was his first rock concert and it felt really cool since my dad took me to my first (KISS) concert about 25 year before... things had come full circle.

Members seajay Posted July 19, 2008 Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 I never really got into them. The music always seemed secondary to their image, and marketed to young kids. I grew up in the 80's so at that point, their best days were behind them. When I started to get into music from that time period (the '70's), it was all about Zeppelin & Sabbath. I think the material of those 2 bands has held up over the years better than the Kiss stuff. I do dig some of their songs and they are certainly fun to play on the guitar. Also, I really dig Ace Frehly. He's more rock n' roll than the other 3 members combined. Gene Simmons makes me want to puke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jenesis Posted July 19, 2008 Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 I grew up in the 70s, and it was mandatory to love KISS. They were everywhere. Still dig 'em, as far as good fun rock 'n' roll goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted July 19, 2008 Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 Loved everything through Rock and Roll Over. Yeah, the last time I listened to the Love Gun lp, it didn't hold up well today, though I loved it as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like a couple of songs from Dynasty and The Elder but KISS could have skipped over the LG release entirely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members surfcat Posted July 19, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 I think it depends on how old you are. They were my gateway to Zeppelin. Of course they're not serious but for good time r&r, krank up Alive or Alive II, preferably the first one. I dare you not to like it.:poke: I can't believe I spelled crank with a K-must be Krank's METAL MARKETING at work. Totally subconscious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members natasmi Posted July 19, 2008 Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 I traded Led zeppelin 4 for "Kiss the originals" the first 3 albums in a box set, (I'm talking vinal albums here kid's) and at least 30 years later I still don't regret it. Back then, KISS kicked Zep's ass to me, at 13 years old, Blue Oyster Cult, and Alice Cooper were favorite's as well. No acounting for taste I guess.

Members Zoidberg Posted July 19, 2008 Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 AAAh, kiss.. That brings back memories from when I was a wee kid I used to listen to "Best of Kiss" over and over again. 10+ years later I still dig many of their songs.Sure know something, God of Thunder, etc. Good stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long gone now but I have them on cd. Those are my favorites outside of Live. Alive II and the albums that led up to it are good too but the first ones are the best imo. Firehouse, Black Diamond, 100,000 Years, Deuce, Rock Bottom, Cold Gin, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
