In real life, my name is Tony, I live in the Milwaukee area and have been a professional drummer for 43 years. One of the more "fun" bands I was in was called KISS Tribute - Dr Love.

This time of year I cant play much, but may sneak out and play this weekend some. Peter Criss is a very fluid drummer and I like his playing. Very underrated.

IMHO, their "best drummer" was Eric Carr and their most consistent has been Eric Singer. But yes, I agree he was underrated and looked over often as a "great drummer".

Kiss - Alive Even though this album was more studio than live. 2nd - (Close decision against 3rd)- Dressed to Kill 3rd Rock and Roll Over 4th Love Gun 5th Destroyer (yes I know kind of low in the list for a great album, but my opinion) 6th Kiss - Kiss 7th - Hotter than Hell - Good songs on it, but the production quality was shit !! Any others notice it suffered in fidelity ? 8 - Dynasty - The disco album !! Had a couple good tunes. After Dynasty I lost interest in them. I did buy Sonic Boom which has some great tunes, but not like the old stuff. Not knocking Eric and Tommy but Ace had the riffs. Aces solo stuff is more Kiss than new Kiss stuff.

Many times during my high school days we wore make-up on Halloween because back then KISS Rocked and like Ted Nugent needed to be played much louder than my parents would allow lol. I saw them last in Feb. 2019 on the 3rd show of their "End of the Road" Tour with my 37 year old son at the Tacoma Dome that has awesome sound from the wooden roof.. We had tickets straight back from the stage in the 3rd row of risers so we didn't have to stand up all night and yet he could see the entire show the way they wanted you to see it. I was glad he enjoyed the show and we had a blast and got baked out of our minds, even broke out some old school KISS T-shirts we wore to the show. I mention this because you guys do a great job of re-creating the sound and feel of a early KISS Show including the throwback make-up. While the show I attended was awesome it was very clear that they were using every trick in the book to give folks who attended the shows the sound and visuals everyone expects from them and it was also clear that they needed those backing tracks and at times they were lip-syncing. If you were to pull up a old fan video of a KISS show and close your eyes and compare the sounds you hear with those you guys produced I think folks would be hard pressed to figure out who was the original. Most people who enjoyed KISS don't know that most of those Speaker Towers in the old shows were just empty boxes and as stated before the Alive album was a creation of sounds from many sources to sell more concert tickets by making you think they could pull that off every night. But hell they sold out 2 nights at the Forum in LA in 1976 as well as many many albums. I still think it is Gene that is the intro voice saying "You wanted the best, you got the best" was Gene because no one sold KISS like Gene. In fact I just received a cease and desist letter from Gene for this post and I haven't finished typing it yet lol. You guys showed that you enjoyed giving people a chance to relive some of their youth and Hard Luck Woman has always been a old school Favorite thanks Muffinhandz and MikeB 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happened many years ago. Funny story behind it. But my cousins son found a life size cut out of Paul and put it in the hallway of their house, so when his dad walked in from work, it was right in his face. He put a caption on it saying "Get the Fuck Out of Here" !! Which is what Paul told him backstage !! Muffinhandz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
