Celebrating the album’s 50th Anniversary
Kiss’ unforgettable self-titled debut album was released on February 18, 1974.

"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.
