Thanks to this thread, I've been going through one of my KISS phases, and I just remembered that I had a signed copy of this one on the shelf that I got when I played KISS Night in 2016 and some friends introduced us to Lydia. I'm just getting around to reading it. Phenomenal collection of pictures and souvenirs of all kinds. Warmly recommended to anyone interested in the band, especially the early days. (Full disclaimer, I'm really no fan of Peter Criss - I actually have very little respect for him as a person - but this book is still worth it).

Faith No More - Falling to Pieces

Imperative Reaction - As We Fall

Elvis Presley - Bitter They Are, Harder They Fall

One of my favorites is Parasite - always wanted to play it live and never had the opportunity until the first KISS Night I was invited to. Unfortunately, the cab I had booked 24h in advance to go to the venue never showed up, so I arrived late an missed that one. I guess I invonluntarily pulled an Ace Frehley. But I did get to play a bunch of more recent favorites, including I Still Love You, which the guys went on to record as a promo and shoot a video for with my ex, Danger, and Unholy.

Alice Cooper - The Awakening

Assemblage 23 - Awake

The Tea Party - Sister Awake. One of my favorites. Tried it live once. Not easy to render, especially since we didn't have much to work with in terms on instruments.

I'd forgotten about HitS. Agreed about that one. What I remember mostly about it is the show from that tour on KISSology, which I thought was one of the best from that era. That being said, I don't listen to those albums all that often, but for some reason, Crazy Nights works for me - although I do get what you mean. All the rest between Creatures and Revenge, not so much, although I like a few songs off of each record. Hotter Than Hell has always been one of those"what went wrong" albums that I wish we could have access to the the raw tracks, as they were fed into the board. I'm just so curious as to how did it end up sounding like this, with all the specifics - it's almost as if the stereo mix had been fed into a 4 inch speaker in the control room and recorded back, and they'd printed that as the master. Although part of me has been living with that album for so long - and thre's so many awesome songs on it - that it'd feel weird to hear a cleaner mix. Same for Sabbath's Born Again.

It's funny that he mentions the vocal performance on I'll Fight Hell to Hold You - Crazy Nights is one of my guilty pleasures (I love Ron Nevison's work on it) and Stanley's vocals on I'll Fight Hell are incredible - even though you also get the feeling that he's just pushing himself to see how far up he can go. He himself mentions something along those lines in his biography when talking about that era. I've always felt that that song could have been usd in a training montage for Rocky 4 or something, it has that vibe. One more reason for me to enjoy it. It's also one of the songs I always wanted to play live with my ex but we never got to it. I did get her to sing plenty of other KISS songs though...

Queen - Sleeping on the Sidewalk

Ace Frehley - Trouble Walkin'

The Cure - The Walk

This ties in nicely. After watching the video above, I decided to re-watch KISStory. Caught a glimpse of Paul Stanley wearing what looks like a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey, circa 1976. KISS, the 70's and hockey - 3 of my favorite things in the world.

Iron Maiden - Sea of Madness

Skinny Puppy - Riverz End

And one of my favorites! Albums AND mugs (the first mug I got in Las Vegas).

Thank you for posting this! Huge KISS fan. Although my interest in the band kind of laid a bit dormant for a while, around the time we moved here in 2012, lots of KISS related stuff started to happen in my life again and Las Vegas soon became synonymous with KISS for me. I also made friends with the guys who organize KISS Night in Vegas, an annual fundraising event, and the most awesome night of the year for any KISS fan. Was invited and participatd a few times over the years, and had a chance to play with and meet a lot of amazing people and musicians, including Bob Kulick (KISS fans will know who he is), Lydia Criss, and guys who've toured with Ace and Peter. Here's a shot from 2016 IIRC. Not the best, but I don't seem to have many with the KISS logo. I'm still a huge fan of Ace. I also like and appreciate Bruce and Tommy.

They seem a little long in the tooth for that.

Badlands - The River

PJ Harvey - Down by the Water
