Timinator 0 Posted April 19, 2006 Just bought their "Vengeance" CD for Domino and discovered I liked Unholy and Thou Shalt Not just as much. I think that lineup also recorded the "Carnival of Souls" CD. Best stuff they ever put out, but not nearly as popular as the less-talented original line-up. Gene is like Madonna to me. Their business and marketing acumen amaze me. They've made millions hyping the sizzle when the steak was rarely Grade A. Gotta give 'em props. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kutulu 1,658 Posted April 19, 2006 Bump for semi-related breaking KISS news: KISS and Gemini Cosmetics, Inc. have signed an agreement to create and launch a line of beaty and fragrance products with the KISS logo (photo). Here are the details on the fragrance for women, and the fragrance for men: "KISS for women features top notes of apple-tini, wet fig leaves, racy bull accord and red peppercorns; middle notes of red poppy, black orchid, sueded frangipani petals and calla lily, and base notes of amber crystals, musky bare skin accord, patent leather and mahogany. "KISS for men is composed of top notes of bergamot, white pepper, anise and black cumin; middle notes of lavender, cypress, dark rum and fir balsam, and base notes of sandalwood, tonka, moss and honeyed amber crystals." The KISS fragrances are due in 2,000 department stores in September. In a previous press release Paul Stanley was quoted as saying: "While most upscale fragrances communicate a similar personality, we wanted these scents to break the rules and speak a different body language. Like KISS, these fragrances make no apologies for embodying an attitude that is unrepentedly sexy, aggressive and incredibly unique." In the same press release, Gene Simmons stated, "KISS fragrances have the smell of success for us... and for all the men and women who will wear it. These fragrances hit all the right notes and will top the charts in no time." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewbieJr 541 Posted April 19, 2006 More with less? You have to be ###### kidding me. I have to agree with Kutulu here. They became extremely popular despite not having one exceptional musician in the band. Like it was stated earlier, the way they were promoted was phenomenal. They probably only had about five "great" songs, yet they've maintained a thirty year career. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kutulu 1,658 Posted April 19, 2006 Was Kiss ever on Gilligan's Island? Despite all four solo albums making it into the Top 50 of the Billboard album chart and shipping platinum, the massive preorder for these albums was soon followed by a just as enormous attempt to ship them back to the record company, followed by the subsequent discounting of these albums once sales had (very quickly) peaked. The solo albums were the first KISS albums to be seen in the "bargain bins" of many record stores of the time, and it was the first clear harbinger of KISS's waning popularity.
