    Have any of you ever seen Kiss live? They came to Ireland in 2010, and it was one of the most memorable shows I ever attended. Like a circus.
    Saw them 1st on the Love Gun tour and a couple of years later after Dynasty. 3rd time when they reunited with all original members in the 90s and then a few years back with Motley Crue. All spectacles but the first was larger than life.

    Kiss Alive is such a great album.
    How was that reunion tour? Was it really good, or more sloppy but cool to see them again. Peter Criss seemed tired (but happy) from the getgo... but maybe that's just his drumming style.
     I really enjoyed the reunion show. Didn't seem sloppy at all but I'm sure they rehearsed and put on the same show every night. The first time in 1978 I was only 11. I was my first concert and the show you see inside Alive II. The second time the show changed a bit. They added a couple of bits. After spitting blood Gene jerked upward and proceeded to fly to a platform 30-40 feet above the stage and during Ace's solo he did the smoking guitar but it ended with the guitars exploding above the stage.

    I'm really only a fan of the first 6 albums and Ace's solo. I don't think I've listened to Alive III.

    Revenge has some songs with strong hooks. Bob Ezrin returned. 

    Worth listening to Alive III (I think). Best Deuce I've heard. But what do I know. :)

    Any interest or love here for Unmasked!? Just out of interest? 
    I like the album. Is that you? Is one of my fav kiss songs. There's some good stuff on Unmasked. 

    But I can understand what some people don't like this era. More of a pop sound on many songs. 

    I'm excited that I'll be visiting Kiss monster mini golf while in Vegas next week. There's a whole store full of stuff and a little mini museum. 
    This is a good one:

    If my trains are still going (they're cancelling trains due to the weather affecting the rails) I'll see Gene Simmons tomorrow!

    Gene Simmons was really fun live - and what a setlist(!!!) compared to KISS shows.

    Asked if Ace and Peter will be back for their three year tour starting in 2019, Gene said:

    - No, you can not work with people with drug problems. Peter and Ace joined and started something unique, but they can not join the 2010's in KISS. You can not get as many chances as possible. On the other hand, when I go to Australia in August, Ace Frehley will be the opening band during my solo tour, I think it will be fun. We are, after all, a family but just because you are a family, you can not work together.

    KISS (1974). Catchy album with a raw sound. For being called ”Knights In Satans Service” KISS’ songs are surprisingly close to The Beatles and ”I wanna hold your hand”. All songs are stand outs. Maybe not Kissin’ time (not included originally) and Firehouse.

    I've always loved that first album. Great songs. Minus kissing time. 

    Not sure if you've ever checked out the demos from this album. I actually prefer many of them to whats on the album. A 5 minute long version of strutter. Great stuff.

    Hotter than Hell (1974). This might be the strongest KISS album. It sure is one of, If not, the heaviest sounding. Parasite and Strange ways especially. Love their sound. Goin’ Blind is one of Genes many... creepy songs. But its just a small blemish.

    The Melvins do an awesome cover of Goin' Blind.

    I favor the MTV Unplugged version, where Gene changes back to the original lyric.

    Dressed to Kill (1975). Its getting a bit repetitive. Dressed to Kill sounds like a left-over-album. Room Service which starts the album is proof of that. But it picks up in the second half - with C’mon and Love Me being one of the stand outs. Growing up listening to The Doors I can’t get over Ace’s ripped solo on She. Pearl Jam atleast slowed it down.

    Anything For My Baby features some great vocal work by Paul. It's my personal favourite from this album.

    Yeah, its nice. I'd say C'mon and Love Me is my favorite though. Love Her All I Can is nice too.

    Alive! (1975). KISS breakout album. And one of the most iconic live albums in history. One of the most doctored and overdubbed(?). If someone would give it five stars I wouldn’t mind. I might even agree. A nifty ”best of” album covering the three first album.
