'daddy I'm just going to see a concert with my friends maybe get an autograph or two from gene Simmons then come...

Saw them in 07 or 08. Really bad, sold records of the very concert at the very concert.

Everytime I am on a flea market or some other place where they trade records, there's always at least one fat old unkempt dude looking for and talking about Kiss.

What makes their fanbase so cringy?

They were one of the first music acts marketed everywhere because Gene Simmons is a very smart jew. So now instead of just having a regular fanbase where people actually judge the band based on their music it's "oh man I loved my KISS action figures" or "my mom's kiss casket was cool!". Pretty much just like super heroes, easy to get attached to because they wear flashy costumes and have merchandise.

paul doesn't swing that way

They're Americana.

This is true, aside from the music part. There are no KISS fans who don't actually like the music, it's just that we like everything else too. And some people don't...there are KISS fans who absolutely hate the fact that they have nerd appeal and only like the music.

Based Ace

what a bunch of clowns

C.C. Banana: Have you ever received a kiss from a member of KISS?
Eric Singer: Ace might have tried to kiss me at some point. I remember Paul telling me that once back in the old days, they were all sitting
around the dressing room and for whatever reason, Peter just went over to Ace and put his dick on Ace's shoulder! Then Ace turned around and kissed it!
C.C. Banana: Note to self - don't put dick on Ace's shoulder.
Eric Singer: Ace has a giant schlong too, you know. One night before a KISS show, he actually took Viagra because he wanted his dick to be hard during the concert. When I asked him why, he said, "So people can see me get hard in the costume." He even tried snorting it once!
C.C. Banana: Ace Frehley snorted Viagra?
Eric Singer: Yep! He thought it would get into his system faster. So Ace snorted the Viagra... but do you know what happened? His nose
swelled up instead! True story! When I tell this stuff to people, they think I'm lying or embellishing. But it's all absolutely true. Anyone who has ever worked with Ace will verify it. You'll never meet another person like him. Ace Frehley stories are the absolute best.

Ace rules. He also actually sucked Peter's dick one time.

>sold records of the very concert at the very concert.
How is that possible?

Paul is a lot more of an egomaniac than Gene is.

They were ugly young men. You think if they weren't in a band they would have ever gotten anything above a 5/10?

If you understand what Viagra does, it's pretty simple--it's basically a vasodilator similar to aspirin, but it works on the arteries of the groin area instead of the heart. So snorting it could conceivably cause your nose to balloon up from dilating the blood vessels in there.

"One of my ideas was to simply call the band 'Fuck'. That way we could have a whole series of albums with titles like 'You', 'Off', 'Me', and so on. I guess Kiss was the closest we got to a usable version of this."

Middle right is cute I'd fuck him no homo.

I would boner so hard if my teen daughter called me "daddy".

In the 70s, this conversation might have been a real thing.

He only had one ear though

based, but only if you actually have a teenage daughter

Why would I care about his ear while I pulled his hair to suck my dick harder

Nothing says, "i'm a punk ass millennial douche-bag fuck with a tiny penis & inferiority complex about Gen Xers... because the 70s & 80s were WAY COOLER" ..like talking a bunch of shit about the immortal KISS Army!

Even back in the day loads of people hated this band and what they represented.

Hey man plenty of millennials were indoctrinated into the KISS Army. They were a pop cultural force in the 90's because of the reunion, and my first concert was KISS in '03.

I'm paraphrasing, but Paul said something in his book that summed up all of KISS hatred for me
>If Bruce Springsteen slides on his knees, he's a great performer, if I slide on my knees, I'm a charlatan
Not a direct quote cause IDR it but basically what he said, and that's pretty much how it is. Nothing KISS ever did matters because people hate them for other reasons anyway, like wearing costumes, meanwhile Springsteen is wearing a costume too....he was a rich ass motherfucker pretending he was still a working class guy

Lydia Lunch literally did this when 12

>LL: For me that’s not the most interesting detail. What’s important is what the search was about and what it was for. I mean, believe me, anyone asks and I’ll give them the run down and the score card. Maybe I have a different take on it because from the time I was 12 years old I would always say to my parents when I had to be at rock concerts until 3 in the morning that it was for “my career”. What career would that be, young lady? Yes, Gene Simmons probably has a photo of me at 12 in his Kiss collection. So if it starts there, it’s like, you know, names, names, names… Who cares? Who cares? And for the most part, in spite of it, it’s not like there’s that many names that people would really recognise. They weren’t the most interesting sexual partners. Sorry, they’re not — boring!

I thought that was actually Mark Mothersbaugh who said that.

>"Devo are no more costumed on stage than is Bruce Springsteen."

She was born in 1959, so actually she would have been more like 16-18 when KISS were at their peak.

Ah yeah, I heard how Gene has a scrapbook with nudes of practically every woman he's been with.

Well, I was saying that part myself. I just know Paul made the point about him and Bruce doing the same things but it being taken completely differently because of biases.

I always maintain that pretty much all entertainers are wearing costumes, and it's true. Your costume might be an out of this world rock star super hero...or it might be some bum who just got out of the factory, but either way, it's not true if you're just some guy playing to millions of people.
