I think Eddie van halen secretly wishes he could hire a lead singer and just have them shut up while he riffs out. Like just pay someone to stand there and not sing.

So anyways, in KISS's heyday Gene wanted to start his own label and the band he recorded and wanted to sign was Van Halen, but KISS's manager nixed it because KISS was too huge.

Yeah. Supposedly Dave came up with the whole thing to ensure that the venues adhered to the contract cause they used a poo poo ton of pyrotechnics, etc. and just wanted to make sure poo poo was safe and up to standards. Or they were just assholes... whichever one floats your boat I suppose.

Seriously, just do a google image search for Kiss comics and you'll see some real weird poo poo.

All those solo Kiss albums were loving terrible except for Ace Frehley's because it had "Back in the New York Groove" on it. They were in the $1.99 cutout rack for like five years because the record company shipped so many of them.

"Getting teased is part of growing up. It's no big deal. Just tell yourself, 'Sticks and stones may break my bones, but a .44 Magnum will tear that bully a new asshole!'"
The two S's in the KISS logo aren't perfectly parallel. It's a carryover from when Paul Stanley drew it with a ruler.
