KISS: Painted Faces, Stage Costumes and Elaborate Music
KISS is a hard rock/glam rock band that was formed in 1973 in New York City. KISS has performed and recorded music for more than 30 years. So far, this band has received 22 gold albums. They have sold 19 million albums in the United States. This band began to walk down the path of success thanks to their well planed live performances that included blood spitting, pyrotechnics, fire breathing and smoking guitars. They painted their faces and used stage costumes.
This band was formed in 1973. The original members of KISS were: Gene Simmons (vocals, bass), Paul Stanley (vocals, rhythm guitar), Ace Frehley (lead guitar, vocals) and Peter Criss (drums, vocals).
