KISS

On Jan. 30, 1973, fewer than 10 people witnessed the first live performances by Kiss at the Popcorn Club (soon to be renamed the Coventry) in Queens, N.Y. According to bassist Gene Simmons, the group was paid $50 for performing two sets that evening.

I've heard rumor that this will be airing during Superbowl 48. It's KISS pushing their new album Sonic, but coming up with a creative and funny piece to do it.   I wonder if the boys from Aerosmith will be laughing?

Because nothing says rocking and rolling all night and partying every day like a expertly tailored suit, Kiss have joined forces with John Varvatos for the designer’s Spring/Summer 2014 collection. The band also performed at Varvatos’ show in Milan earlier today (Jan. 11).

Kiss' biggest chart hit, 'Beth,' has been re-imagined as a '70s-style dramedy in a hilarious video complete with actors playing the role of Peter Criss and a nagging wife imploring him to leave a recording session -- because dinner is getting cold and the kids are driving her crazy.

Big congratulations to former Kiss and current solo and Grand Funk Railroad guitarist Bruce Kulick, who got married to fiancee Lisa Lane this weekend in Los Angeles. "It was a magical day, with many wonderful memories to share," he enthused on his Facebook page.

KISS will soon have a date Rock and Roll immortality. Their induction into the Rock Hall of Fame is set for April but in the meantime the band is joining forces with the NHL.

Kiss will re-issue nine of their old albums on vinyl in March of 2014, and also release their 1998 effort 'Psycho Circus' on the format for the very first time.

Nothing says "Merry Christmas" quite like Jewish rock stars singing a Bing Crosby tune on stage to a deafening arena audience.

Former Kiss guitarist Ace Frehley says he's happy to perform with his former bandmates at the upcoming Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony -- as long as he's the only one wearing his famous makeup.

He might be the last original member of Kiss to board the autobiography gravy train, but Paul Stanley's memoir is arriving at just the right time: April 22, 2014, less than two weeks after the band is inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Now that Kiss have finally been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the next big question is, Will the original foursome, who have been apart for about a decade, perform together at the induction ceremony in their former hometown of New York City in April?

When they woke up yesterday, Peter Gabriel and the members of Kiss were just plain old ordinary multimillionaire rock stars. Today? They're some of the newest members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
