The caption read that the band KISS would be playing on Don Kirshner’s Rock Concert on ABC that Friday night. This exploration digs through an incomplete list but contains enough — with additions from print — to paint a picture. Fans want to get together to see people who have worked with the band and try to find oddball merchandise for their collections, but they mainly want to get together with other members of the KISS Army and discuss the band. Since 1973 KISS has recorded over 20 studio albums; been recognized as an innovator in rock presentations; witnessed a firestorm of rumors and controversies; remained a thorn in critics' sides; and continues to surprise its massive fan-following the KISS Army with various career twists and turns. Interviews conducted during this time included Billboard, Cashbox, Record World, Westwood One Album Network, Copley News Service, Earth News, Tiger Beat, and others.By graduation, many of our army was planning for their first year of college, including my field marshal. This song was alleged to be a Wicked Lester or early KISS demo, at a time when few authentic versions of the available material circulated, and has turned up on numerous demo collections and bootleg CDs. The KISS Army surrounded the radio station and threatened the DJ if he did not play KISS by 5 o clock. And he was able to talk about how influences such as Gene Krupa, Frank Sinatra, the Beatles or the Ronettes. Eating my breakfast cereal one morning and leafing through the TV section of our newspaper, I spotted a picture of some unusual thing playing a guitar.

Generally, with the waning and reality of Kiss, markets where Kiss was not popular proved less so for Peter’s album, and he was used as a proxy to attack both his former band and the genre of music he was formerly primarily attached to. My father, who had a spirit of adventure in him, enjoyed the camaraderie that KISS had with their fans. The song remains majestic and soaring and the flighty elements and lyrical content clearly still resonate. THThese subjects and more appear in EKISS FAQE a showcasing the good bad and the weird that has made KISS the legendary ultimate rock-and-roll party band still going strong after 40 years. What is the reality of that assertion, one which is hardly unique in the history of the music business?The radio station requests would not stop until one night one of the radio personalities felt sorry for us and spilled the beans. It was Diana Ross who encouraged Peter to go on his own, reminding him of how she gave up the security of the Supremes. My father, who shipped vinyl records for the local record pressing plant, often brought home freebies, and I requested the KISS album. I knew little about KISS, but I asked my dad for their first and only record, and he obliged, along with a pullout poster that came with it—perfect for taking to your school locker and scaring people.

It’s probably the song I’d most like to hear a live performance of, but fear that it’s tempo and dynamics made that an unrealistic wish. Press efforts kicked off in earnest on August 21, with Peter being interviewed for the Aquarian, 60 Second LP (providers of 30-second album commercials), WCBS, Newscript, and Rolling Stone magazine. He dared my mother to take us to see KISS three weeks later in Indy, and she did, and KISS conquered once more.Yet I’ve never seen such an eclectic group of people, all motivated to share in their devotion to KISS, to one another, or to those who don’t subscribe to our love to rock and roll all nite and party every day. Suicide" was the fifth and final track on side one of the album and was written by Brian Miller; "Take It From Me" was the second song from side 2 of the album and was written by Denton Young, Brian Miller, Howard Helm, Jim Samsom, and Kim Hunt (the whole band). Many rock acts would pass through the plant, like Paul Revere and the Raiders, so my father was pretty open-minded about the music business and rock bands in general.
