You have just arrived at a site that tells about the history of the band called KISS, divided into different sections.
History | KISS was formed in January 1973, and thus it has existed for almost 50 years. All kinds of things have happened during these years. |
Line-ups | KISS's line-up has changed several times during its existence. Some of the line-ups have performed without masks. |
Discography | KISS's discoraphy is large and musically diverse. 20 full-length studio albums have been released so far. If the 1978 solo albums are included, the number increases by four. |
Gigs | KISS has been touring since 1973, and KISS's probably last tour "End of the Road World Tour" is going on right now. |
16.9.1985: Asylum is released
Sammy Hagar was thrown off as the opening act of a Kiss tour due to using a foul language onstage. On 17th February 1977 at the gig in Madison Square Garden, the audience booed Hagar. He lost his temper by telling the audience "f*ck you", dropped his pants, pulled off his penis and broke his guitar (1961 Stratocaster) onstage.
What I love about being a member of KISS is that we're the 'John Glenns' of rock - we always have to be the first in anything we do, and I love that.
- Peter Criss
