My brother's favorite bands used to be Depeche Mode and...KISS? Yes! I could never reconcile the two. Anyway, as much as I tried not to listen, I couldn't help but get sucked in. These days, well, I must admit I do rather enjoy their early stuff. Hell, my bro and I even got backstage once and I have a t-shirt signed by the band. I hope this admission doesn't get me kicked off the board!
The big turn-off for me with KISS is when Gene Simmons constantly reminds us that all he wanted was money and every move the band ever made was driven by commercial reasons.
Ace was my favourite. His solo album was the best.
