Lick this Kiss cartoon up |
Loading ...I chuckled over this short Kiss video cartoon which pokes fun at them being sellouts. The Yahoo site is moving painfully slow for me right now, so you might want to give that link a little time, or hit smash.yahoo.com and try to get in from there.
Sure, I’ll admit it: I like several Kiss songs. I was never much for their whole makeup scene, didn’t care that they were unmasked, hated most of their disco crap, didn’t groove on the Kiss Army, but I definitely dug their live material. Saw them live a couple times — they are a great live band — and liked the era with Vinny Vincent (Creatures of the Night is a good album). I thought Gene Simmons was a pretty funny critic next Simon Cowell on American Idol.
At the end of the day, love them or hate them, they are rock icons.
I’ve seen KISS a few times in Detroit–the first time back in the late 70s and the last time was in the 90s when they toured with Alice In Chains. I’d go see them again if any of my old crusty farty friends would tag along. And, I wouldn’t even consider KISS as one of my favorite bands–there’s just something about seeing them live singing Detroit Rock City…you just can’t miss that if you’re from here. Let’s be real, it’s one of the few things that makes being from Detroit cool.

[…] believe Gene Simmons has over-marketed Kiss, others think he’s a genius and the rest are somewhere […]
