Album Notes
Kiss' penchant for make-up was inspired by their downtown New York neighbors the New York Dolls and by Alice Cooper, who was on top of the glam-rock world when Kiss' self-titled debut came out in 1974. Rather than dress in drag as the Dolls did, Kiss fashioned their look on a mix of sci-fi and horror films, and the rock & roll of their youth. They fashioned their music on willful hard-rock arrogance. Several songs on KISS became staples in the group's catalog. "Strutter," about a beautiful woman with a confident swagger, mirrored the attitude of the band, and it contained the first of many incendiary Ace Frehley solos.The album also contains "Cold Gin," Ace's signature song; "Deuce," with its quintessential sexual posturing and fiery soloing; and "Black Diamond," Paul Stanley's epic tribute to a streetwalker with a hardscrabble life. Kiss' hunger to succeed resulted in some interesting recording choices, such as transforming teen idol Bobby Rydell's "Kissin' Time" into a stomper with singalong choruses typical of early-'70s pop. There's even an instrumental, "Love Theme From Kiss," a showcase for the quartet's musical synchronicity. It was the beginning of a long and influential career.

Strutter

Peter CrissPeter Criss is the original Bad Ass toughguy Tom Cat!  He combined raspy Mowtown soul with thunderous Beats to cement himself as one of Rocks most original Drummers!

Paul Stanley in a thong???!

Paul Stanley is the lover; object of affection and obsession. He is a hip strutting androgynous circus ringmaster.

“Do you love me?” He demands

The awestruck woman looks up, and submissively moans “Yes!”

Gene SimmonsGene Simmons is the Fire Breathing, Blood Spewing Bat Demon Lizard.  He is the Bottom heavy bass player with the codpiece full of Love!!

Ace Frehley Ace Frehley is the Time shifting, Rocket Launching, Rockstar from another planet.  His use of Triads and single bent notes set his solos off as unique as any performer in Rock
