This is a multiple choice poll. Because some of the moments were tragically goofy & some were just TRAGIC! Vote for as many as you agree with. Or tell me if you disagree...
**KISS GOES DISCO!!--With the release of 1979's "Dynasty"'s hit single "I Was Made For Lovin' You", becoming the band's biggest hit!! Even the band's ballad "Beth" only made it to #7 on the charts!!
**KISS MAKES A 'MOVIE'--Oct. 28, 1978 on NBC. KISS made their 'acting' debut in "Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park". Making total asses of themselves! I was a little kid and sat their watching this train-wreck of a flick dumbfounded! Crap from beginning to end!
**THE DEPARTURE OF ACE & PETER--The TRUE END of a great era was when Peter Criss and Ace Frehley left KISS. It started the revolving door of replacement players & made me start to lose interest in the band.
**KISS UNMASKED--I can't blame them in a way...Their popularity was slipping away and they had to do SOMETHING to regain interest in the band. But with the great songs on "Lick It Up" & their makeup still on I think they would have been fine through the 80s. The MYSTERY of KISS was FOREVER GONE!!
**THE DEATH OF ERIC CARR--The unexpected death of Eric Carr shocked the shit out of a lot of loyal KISS fans. He ALONE to me is the only replacement member to have truly become A MEMBER OF KISS. He made me say, "Peter who?" On the flip side of this tragedy, he died the same day as Queen's Freddie Mercury...I guess Freddie needed a bad ass drummer for the band he was starting in Heaven. R.I.P. Eric Carr.
**THE KISS KASKET--We knew Gene had gone too fucking far with this one! HOWEVER! My fellow Texan Dimebag was layed to rest in a KISS Kasket! KISS Army for life, Dime! So why is the "Kasket" on this list? Because Gene promoted it as a coffin OR (since it's waterproof) A GIANT COOLER!! And I find it distasteful to think of Dimebag Darrell buried in a beer cooler! If it's a coffin...Then sell it as ONLY a coffin, Gene!!!
**KISS DISSED--In Sept. 2009--TEN YEARS after becoming eligible!--KISS was nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. However, adding insult to the fact that this nomination was 10 years over-due, in Dec. 2009 it was announced that KISS did NOT MAKE IT!!! Are you fucking kidding me?! How can The Talking Heads & Run-D.M.C. be inducted into the ROCK AND ROLL Hall of Fame before KISS!!
Agree? Disagree? Got other worst moments?
