KISS: ANOTHER MISUNDERSTANDING?
Kiss—I’ve seen it happen before, but never on this scale. Every couple of years a band arises that is ignored by the press, passed over by radio stations, harumped at by chicsters, and absolutely adored by millions of young people.
Kiss—I’ve seen it happen before, but never on this scale. Every couple of years a band arises that is ignored by the press, passed over by radio stations, harumped at by chicsters, and absolutely adored by millions of young people. It happened with Elvis, the Stones, Beatles, Dead, Bowie, Grand Funk, Rollers, Alice Cooper, and Kiss.
Now don’t tell me that everybody loves Elvis and the Beatles, because I’ll turn around and tell you that everybody loves the Sex Pistols. The truth is, that large segments of the population felt the same way about Elvis and the Beatles when they started playing as large segments of their children, who are now parents, feel about Kiss and the Sex Pistols.
