 moreKiss was the brainchild of Gene Simmons (bass, vocals) and Paul Stanley
(rhythm guitar, vocals), former members of the New York-based hard rock band
Wicked Lester; the duo brought in drummer Peter Criss through his ad in Rolling
Stone, while guitarist Ace Frehley responded to an advertisement in The Village
Voice. Even at their first Manhattan concert in 1973, the group's approach was
theatrical, and Flipside producer Bill Aucoin offered the band a management deal
after the show. Two weeks later, they were signed to Neil Bogart's fledgling
record label, Casablanca. Kiss released their self-titled debut in February of
1974; it peaked at number 87 on the U.S. charts. By April of 1975, the group had
released three albums and had been touring America constantly, building up a
sizable fan base.

Culled from those numerous concerts, Alive! (released in the fall of 1975) made
the band rock & roll superstars; it climbed into the Top Ten and its
accompanying single, "Rock 'N' Roll All Nite," made it to number 12. Their
follow-up, Destroyer, was released in March of 1976 and became the group's first
platinum album; it also featured their first Top Ten single, Peter Criss' power
ballad "Beth." Kiss mania was in full swing; thousands of pieces of merchandise
hit the marketplace (including pinball machines, makeup and masks, and board
games), and the group had two comic books released by Marvel as well as a
live-action TV movie, Kiss Meet the Phantom of the Park. A 1977 Gallup poll
named Kiss the most popular band in America. They were never seen in public
without their makeup, and their popularity was growing by leaps and bounds; the
membership of the Kiss Army, the band's fan club, was in the six figures.

Even such enormous popularity had its limits, though, and the band reached them
in 1978, when all four members released solo albums on the same day in October.
Simmons' record was the most successful, reaching number 22 on the charts, yet
all of them made it into the Top 50. Dynasty, released in 1979, continued their
streak of platinum albums, yet it was their last record with the original lineup
-- Criss left in 1980. Kiss Unmasked, released in the summer of 1980, was
recorded with session drummer Anton Fig; Criss' true replacement, Eric Carr,
joined the band in time for their 1980 world tour. Kiss Unmasked was their first
record since Destroyer to fail to go platinum, and 1981's Music from the Elder,
their first album recorded with Carr, didn't even go gold -- it couldn't climb
past number 75 on the charts. Ace Frehley left the band after its release; he
was replaced by Vinnie Vincent in 1982. Vincent's first album with the group,
1982's Creatures of the Night, fared better than Music from the Elder, yet it
couldn't make it past number 45 on the charts.

Sensing it was time for a change, Kiss dispensed with their makeup for 1983's
Lick It Up. The publicity worked, as the album became their first platinum
record in four years. Animalize, released the following year, was just as
successful, and the group essentially recaptured their niche. Vincent left after
Animalize and was replaced by Mark St. John, although St. John was soon taken
ill with Reiter's Syndrome and left the band. Bruce Kulick became Kiss' new lead
guitarist in 1984. For the rest of the decade, Kiss turned out a series of
best-selling albums, culminating in the early 1990 hit ballad "Forever," which
was their biggest single since "Beth." Kiss was scheduled to record a new album
with their old producer, Bob Ezrin, in 1990 when Eric Carr became severely ill
with cancer; he died in November of 1991 at the age of 41. Kiss replaced him
with Eric Singer and recorded Revenge (1992), their first album since 1989; it
was a Top Ten hit and went gold. Kiss followed it with the release of Alive III
the following year; it performed respectably but wasn't up to the standards of
their two previous live records.

In 1996, the original lineup of Kiss -- featuring Simmons, Stanley, Frehley, and
Criss -- reunited to perform an international tour, complete with their
notorious makeup and special effects. The tour was one of the most successful of
1996, and in 1998 the reunited group issued Psycho Circus. While the ensuing
tour in support of Psycho Circus was a success, sales of Kiss' reunion album
weren't as stellar as anticipated. Reminiscent of the band's unfocused late-'70s
period, few tracks on Psycho Circus featured all four members playing together
(most tracks were supplemented with session musicians), as the band seemed more
interested in flooding the marketplace with merchandise yet again instead of
making the music their top priority. With rumors running rampant that the Psycho
Circus Tour would be their last, the quartet announced in the spring of 2000
that they would be launching a U.S. farewell tour in the summer, which became
one of the year's top concert draws. But on the eve of a Japanese and Australian
tour in early 2001, Peter Criss suddenly left the band once again, supposedly
discontent with his salary. Taking his place was previous Kiss drummer Eric
Singer, who in a controversial move for some longtime fans, donned Criss'
cat-man makeup (since Simmons and Stanley own both Frehley and Criss' makeup
designs, there was no threat of a lawsuit) as the farewell tour continued.

With the band scheduled to call it a day (supposedly) by late 2001, a mammoth
career-encompassing box set was set for release later in the year, while the
summer saw perhaps the most over-the-top piece of Kiss merchandise yet: the
"Kiss Kasket," a real coffin fans could buy for $4,000. The group was relatively
quiet throughout the rest of the year, but 2002 started with a bang as Gene
Simmons turned in an entertaining and controversial interview on NPR where he
criticized the organization and berated host Terry Gross with sexual comments
and condescending answers. He was promoting his autobiography at the time, which
also caused dissent in the Kiss camp because of inflammatory remarks made about
Ace Frehley. Frehley subsequently declined to appear at an American Bandstand
anniversary show; his place was taken by a wig-wearing Tommy Thayer, and Simmons
was quick to dismiss the performance as another in a long series of
money-oriented decisions. The band kept touring the globe with no new album in
stores, but in 2008 they returned to the studio, re-recorded their hits, and
released Jigoku-Retsuden aka KISSology or Kiss Klassics (the release was
initially exclusive to Japan).

In spring of 2009, the band began recording their first studio album in 11 years
and released Sonic Boom in October. Produced by Paul Stanley and Greg Collins,
the album was exclusively distributed in North America by Wal-Mart. In 2012, the
band's 20th studio album, Monster, surfaced, rewriting the cowbell-heavy party
rock of their '70s heyday and adding some nods to the sinister metal of 1992's
Revenge. In 2014, after 15 years of eligibility, Kiss was inducted into the Rock
& Roll Hall of Fame. The following year they released a collaborative single
with the Japanese idol group Momoiro Clover Z. In 2017, a career-spanning
single-disc best-of, Kissworld, was released to coincide with a massive world
tour of the same name. The tour, which the band announced would be their final
jaunt, was eventually renamed the "End of the Road" tour, and in true Kiss
fashion, it was still going strong in 2021. © Stephen Thomas Erlewine
