Kiss turns 50!

Celebrating the album’s 50th Anniversary

Kiss’ unforgettable self-titled debut album was released on February 18, 1974.

This is the cover of the album “Kiss” (1974) by Kiss. [Gene’s demon makeup and “sanpaku” eyes frightened pre-school-age Tony just a little.]

"Yeah, we're here to take our friend Jam here to the big, satanic KISS concert, if that's okay with you."

I was fortunate to see the original lineup during the Kiss Alive reunion tour. The show I attended would also include the final concert performance of Alice In Chains with the late Layne Staley (July 3, 1996); surreal and bittersweet, in retrospect.

“Double Platinum” (1978) by Kiss was the first album my friend and Toxic A$$ets bandmate Jeff Lahr ever purchased. He played drums along to that vinyl record until it literally wore out.

Awesome sound and stage presence! My favorite song from the album.

This is a legendary hard-charging song!

Live version of another classic!

One of the few Kiss songs written by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley together.
