What is everyone’s opinion on Kiss’ greatest record!? 

Destroyer and Love Gun are lackluster.

The best are:

Debut
Hotter than hell
Dynasty
Unmasked
Creatures of the Night

You're on drugs.

You know it's true. Those five soundds the best. And has great songs. 

There's some shit on Destroyer and Love Gun.

I'm not a fan of the last three in your list. I also like Dressed to Kill more than Hotter Than Hell.

Which of the live albums would you recommend purchasing? I have the Symphony album as I’m from Melbourne and attended the show. Alive? Alive II? Anything else?

ALIVE! for sure. 

I can't stand ALIVE II, it sounds like an audience boot compared to ALIVE! and with that blanket of fakw crowdoise through out. And not a fan of one of the four sides being studio tracks instead of more live tracks.

ALIVE III sounds great to me. And you get songs from their entire career up to that point. It's shorter than the other Alives (to fit it on one CD instead of two I guess back in the day). But it's my go to - Favorite version of Deuce on it, and Watchin' you is great and you also get some songs from that era which is kind of cool. I think it just sounds great and has a cool collection of songs.

You also have the album that was suppose to be ALIVE IV (which symphony later became), it ws shelved for a long time - but it's from 1999 and with the four original members. You can listen to it on Spotify if you want to check it out. It's called "KISS ALIVE - The Millenium concert". Some fans think the songs sound to slow, but that was how they sounded on their last tour together. 2000 Man and 100.000 years are cool.

Nice work, thanks for the run down, from I hear Alive is the original and the best!

I prefer to put on ALIVE III for whatever reason (guessing because it has songs I haven't heard to death), but yes ALIVE! is most fans favorite and a classic. The album that broke the band.

agreed....Alive is a great album.  I like everything they did up through Creatures of the Night with the exception of Unmasked...bad album

Music from the Elder is really good as well

Unmasked is a great and hookey popalbum. A lot of good and fun songs on there. 

The Elder is impossible to get through...

Gern Blansten

I would say the opposite....The Elder has to be listened to as a soundtrack rather than a true album

I don’t think anyone would suggest Ace is a rocket scientist.

I never knew he was a brain damaged baboon either, but it’s a good thing to know I guess?

Yeah, looks like I'm skipping the next Alice Cooper tour. I don't want a penny of my ticket purchase to go to this willfully ignorant dipshit.

The U.S. wouldn't even be a nation if everyone followed that line of thinking in the late 18th century.

And 6 million are dead because of that line of thinking in early/mid 20th century Germany as well.

I'm actually surprised by his "Britney Spears" answers. Thought he was the liberal guy in the band of idiots.

Less than 3 weeks until the tour starts. I'm sure we'll get a standard setlist. I'm really hoping for 1 deep cut or rarely played song. 

My choice would be Come on and love me 

Meltdown99

Are any of the group original Kiss members, or is it just that idiot Simmons.

Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons.

They have stated it will be no deep cuts -- and the safe bet is that the setlist is the one played on last years cruise. I guess Hell or Hallelujah and Hide your Heart would be the deepest cuts?

DukeSpirit

I have no problem with the setlist on the cruise. I wouldn't expect them to busy out anything too rare. I was Maybe hoping for something like I stole your love or ladies room. Stuff that's fairly well known, but not played in awhile.

Meltdown99

I'm no kiss fan, but it is to bad they could not set aside their difference's for the final tour.  It would have been nice for Kiss fans.

They got that chance in 2000. 

This is, according to Paul the end of the band as a whole and not a specific lineup and also that former members are welcome to join in for a song or two somewhere/sometime. But it doesn't seem like they themselves are being to active in making that happen.

Yeah, I think they could have mixed in and rotated between a few other songs like I stole your love, She, Come on and love me, Creatures of the Night, Tomorrow and Tonight etc.
