I always thought A World Without Heroes was pretty crappy song. The Oath is okay, Frehley's Darl Light isn't too bad...Frehley's pretty underrated honestly his songs were usually some of the best on each album.

I probably could have drank more beer if I wasn't stopping to play air guitar so often. |

I had a friend see him in Boston on the Trouble Walking tour. He was taking requests from the crowd and someone asked for Dark Light. Ace started laughing and said he didn't think he could remember how to play it, because he didn't really remember writing it. He wrote "Cold Gin" and Gene sang it. Not bad eh? His "2000 Man" cover on Dynasty is pretty cool too. "Torpedo Girl" on Unmasked is fun. "Shock Me" is still the classic Frehley track though. |

Saturday morning cartoons, riding Green Machines, eating Lucky Charms, playing with Star Wars action figures and listening to Kiss are all sort of part of the same phenomenon. It's what you did if you were like 6 years old in 1977. Everyone would line up to go into school with their Kiss lunch boxes. On Halloween you would get to paint your face like your favorite (Ace Frehley). What bands do kids dress up like for Halloween now. So it was a shit load of fun. Just like their music. You can see however, why these guys set themselves up to be whipping boys for anyone who was making or listening to to music that didn't carry a side show. The choice was made early on for Kiss that everything would be about spectacle. A double edged sword for the band, but a lot of great entertainment value for a lot of 6 year old kids. Do you outgrow Kiss? Absolutely. You don't outgrow the silly little memories though. Making a guitar and plugging a yarn chord into the lazy boy so you could rock out properly to "Shout It Out Loud". Why do you think Weezer, Buck 65, and Sloan all sing about Kiss? Because they grew up having so much fun with them. I didn't even know they were pigs until I grew up and understood what their lyrics were about. Imagine a mom hearing her 6 year old son in front of his lttle record player singing "She wants me all the time to inject her". Haha; excellent post, Riles. As for me: I fondly recall playing "air guitar" with TENNIS RACQETS (ok ok, so it ain't exactly "air guitar") to KISS, mate! I was 13, this was around the time KISS ALIVE II came out. I recall begging my mom to let me get a copy of it from K-mart. That pic of Gene with the blood running down over his chin was SICK ! \m/ But the funniest part about me & my best friend playing Tennis-Racquet -guitar to old Kiss tunes, was that the illusion of our Rock Star bravado was not complete unless we did this trick with our T-shirts. We took the FRONT of em, and LIFTED em UP and OVER our heads, so the shirts would be wrapped up around our armpits, exposing our sexy midriffs ! And yeah . . . we'd pose like this, with our Tennis-racquet-axes, in front of the mirror for 'celebrity still shots' in between bouts of flailin rockin' out. Man those were the days (now that I think about it). |

Midget Ace totally doesn't look like Ace.
Maybe I'm missing the point.

Actually I apoligise, Gene looks to be the only midget, the other three are dwarves. I don't want to offend anyone.
