I'm sure most of us could pick more but "try" to keep it to 12. I'm not much of a fan of anything they did once they hit the 80's. And if I hear Lick It Up one more time I'm gonna puke.

Looks like most of us like the early years best. I guess that can attest to any loooong time band. If you listen to the radio that is what they mostly play whether it be KISS,Stones,Aerosmith,Floyd, Van Halen etc.

Actually...the 1st 3 albums are damn near flawless.
I totally forgot to name anything off of Rock And Roll Over...which is 99.99% perfect
Eric Carr is by far the most underated, unsung rock/metal drummer...and made Creatures Of The Night KICK ASS....that album is a virtual blue print for metal bands to come.
12 isn't gonna cut it!

Eric Carr was an awesome drummer, and yes, very underrated. He was a huge influence
on my drumming(besides Bonham and Bill Ward) As far as Creatures, that record so KICKS
major A**!!!! Eric's drumming on Creatures is amazing.
Yeah man Eric Carr reminds me of Bonham alot!
He has that big, booming sound which I love.
Being into alot heavier stuff, sometimes these guys get caught up with the speed of blast beats but not everyone has the "umpf!" to go with it--I think Eric Carr's sound was brilliant, especially on Creatures where he seemed to add the perfect metal percussion to it.
If you have or have seen one of the concerts on the Crazy Nights tour on KISSOLOGY Vol. 2, he is a beast on Black Diamond, def the man!
Had some fun with this. Chose my favorite from each album. I never went past Creatures of the Night with the band, but had my walls plastered with their posters before this.

"Comin' Home"-Hotter Than Hell
"Room Service"-Dressed to Kill
"Rock Bottom"-Alive

My favorite cd. I listen to it in my car while I am driving. The best of the four singles. Another favorite KISS song which is also an Ace Frehely song is from Love Gun - Shock Me Thee are so many Kiss songs I like, I can't do it in 12. I am going to see KISS Saturday in Massachusetts!

You are very lucky. KISS hasn't been in Vegas for a while. Hope they return, soon.
Btw, the IKONS cd is really good. ;D
I don't think I like 12 KISS songs........but these are my faves;
Rock and Roll All Nite
God Of Thunder
King Of The Nightime World
Beth
Of their post-classic material, I think REVENGE is a damn good CD.
Beth
Ahahahahaha!!! just kidding! That song takes me back to when you have that ONE buddy who's dating a Yoko and it's just awful timing for them because he's still running with you and the rest of your knucklehead pals------and you keep catching him sneaking off from the fun to wimper on the phone.... it's like 'DUDE'.... ENOUGH!
Rock and Roll All Nite
Brings back the St. Mary's carnival when I was making out with some older babe on the 'Spider' with this song blasting at the fair.

Sadly enough, Beth reminds me of an old girlfriend from back in the day.........otherwise the list would be even shorter LOL!
Hey, I think she still has my Member's Only jacket too. The tramp.

So aside from Rock N Roll All Nite....you like the Destroyer album.
If it means anything to you...I'm wearing DESTROYER boxer shorts right now. Totally true, album cover on the front, KISS logo across the rear.
Are we any closer friends yet??

Actually.......the thought of your junk rubbing up against the album makes me want to wash out my synapses with soap and Clorox.

Just got back from the Mansfield Mass concert. I saw on the posters that they will be in Las Vegas later in the tour. I was 3 rows back from the stage. I saw them all close up except for Eric Singer. Tommy Thayer was mostly on my side and Gene Simmons came over and gave us a show and Paul Stanley mouthed some words to my wife I didn't catch. It was the usual great show. I still miss Ace and Peter. I am a stickler for originals just like my Universal classic monsters.
Wow Steve,sounds like a great time. And 3 rows back. Can ya hear today? :D

It was a great time and no I can not hear that well today. How did you know? (http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/ii175/universalsteve/IMG_0920.jpg) This is how close I was.
Great shot of Thayer..wow, you did have great seats!!
I'm seeing KISS in Indianapolis tomorrow at the Indiana State Fairgrounds. It's been 6 years since my last KISS show. At least with the current lineup, they have a really good new record to support. I see they're playing "Crazy, Crazy Nights" again, which is weird because I actually saw them on that tour years ago. I'm not that crazy about the current set list. I miss "I Stole Your Love" and "Strutter", but at least I'll get to hear three songs off of "Sonic Boom".
Ya know, I was the 1st person to start off with "I'm not crazy about the lineup"..etc etc--but it's grown on me.
Of course I would love a set list of the 1st 6 studio albums, but there is alot of great stuff after that era that was just getting no play.
Creatures is one of my favorite KISS albums and alot of it should be played live--Asylum was great, Crazy Nights...there are tons of good tracks from the 80's that just fell through the cracks.
Glad to see...or hear, that theyre back in rotation.

I really miss Ace and Peter too. I was fortunate to see the reunion tour, Hallowe'en show
at Dodger stadium and the farewell tour. But, Tommy And Eric are great musicians, and I personally
don't think Peter could hold up on touring. They are still my favorite band, so I'll take KISS for what
they are. Because someday the touring will stop, and that will be a sad day in KISSTORY. :(
I LOVE the original line up and when that started to fade I said enuf is enuf. For me the first 6 are essential as are the 2 LIVE's the rest not so much because the songs that were on the radio were MADE for the radio. So crappy and commercial rock I wanted to puke. Case in point "Lick It Up" one of my most HATED commercial pieces of rock crap ever. $$$$$ SELL OUT SELL OUT SELLOUT. 70's K.I.S.S (Knights In Satan's Service ;)) Legendary! Maybe I should spend a crappy rainy fall day just looking at Kiss on youtube to check the later stuff. Odds are my opinion won't change.
They had a good set list but I didn't really care for Sonic Boom myself. I wish they would have done Strutter. They could do without "I was Made For Loving You" it never really sounds good. It was their version of a disco song. They didn't do God Of Thunder when Gene Simmons flew to the rafters but they did I Love It Loud instead which is a favorite of mine. Of course, thanks to the Dr. Pepper commercial they sing Call Me Dr. Love and they played the commercial a couple of times on the big screen. What I really liked was how they opened the show. On the big screen they had Google Earth on and pointed to the Comcast Center. It zoomed in on the building and then there was a giant boot of Gene Simmons. Then they showed all the Kiss members as giants walking through the city. They get to the doors of the building and then Paul Stanley turns around and motions that he is going in and then THERE THEY ARE! Awesome entrance! I wanted the best I got the best.
I'm leaving for Indy in a few hours. I wish they would play "Creatures of the Night", "King of the Night Time World", "God of the Thunder", "I Stole Your Love" or any number of songs that aren't in the current setlist, but the one song I really dread is "God Gave Rock n Roll to You." That's not even a KISS song! It's a cover. I could also go the rest of my without hearing "Rock n Roll All Night and Party Every Day", but I kind of understand why that one is always the last song. Personally, I wish they would let Tommy and Eric sing their own songs off of "Sonic Boom" instead of making them sing "Shock Me" and "Beth" respectively.
Back in 1999, We did a trailer for a New Line Film which you guys probably already know "Detroit Rock City". It's an enjoyable movie

Crazy Nights is in the lineup of this tour. They sang it about halfway through the concert.
