KISS

Musical Group

Formed in New York in 1973 by Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, KISS became known for theatrical makeup, pyrotechnic stage shows and arena-filling hard rock. Classic early lineup included Ace Frehley and Peter Criss.

KISS rose to fame in the 1970s with hit live shows and albums such as Alive! and Destroyer. They have sold over 100 million records worldwide, experimented with styles across decades (including disco and hair-metal moments), reunited original members for later performances, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014.

DeBaser reviews emphasize KISS's theatrical live shows, classic 1970s albums and enduring fan devotion. Reviewers praise vintage records (Alive!, Destroyer, Love Gun) and celebrate high-energy concerts. 1980s records attract mixed reactions; later reunion/studio efforts (Sonic Boom, Monster) get generally warm reception.
