Thanks. In Junior High, KISS was pretty much the band of my school. I think I bought "Calling DR. Love" before the big craze caught on. Even the "popular" dudes wore the makeup on certain occasions. I had several KISS albums, and me and my friend jammed out on them all the time, then we got burned out on them.(I sold all of them for $20, beer money, etc) And not only that, if the jocks liked KISS, then KISS must not be cool anymore, lol.
But I never heard the song "I love it loud" until the 80's. I still like a few of their songs. But I think I liked KISS not for the music, but because they were supposed to be "COOL". I thought they were over-rated, and I liked the Rolling Stones better.
But, since they were part of my "good times" years, I have respect for them.[8D](I cannot STAND makeup on my face, it itches too much)
