KISS (Official Thread)

[METALPRIEST]

38 years ago this week, my all-time favorite live album was released:


KISS Alive!

Anyone here still have their original wax of this kick-ass release?

I still have the album I bought many, many years ago, but unfortunately the booklet got cutup and taped to my bedroom walls back in my youth. Looked cool at the time along with the countless other KISS posters and pictures I had up on the walls, but that collector's piece is long gone now.

What a sweeeeet ad!! Yeah man I still got mine on vinyl!! The remaster CD copy as well as the Alive Box set

I'm really enjoying the new book 'Nothin' to Lose'. I find it wild that when they were rehearsing in the beginning they were covering "Go Now" by the Moody Blues( I can possibly see them playing Story in my Eyes but Go Now???). I've been enjoying going to YouTube & looking up some of the opening acts like the Harlots of 42nd street, Teenage Lust, & the Brats. Not that any of them are any good but for decades I would see gig posters of these acts opening for Kiss & always wondered what they sounded like but there was nothing ever available. Now...thanks to you tube I can hear a song or 2 from them and realize why they didn't last long!

Yeah, you need to get it...there are a lot of rare photos & concert flyers.I love how people just go into detail describing clubs like the Coventry because it kind of puts you in that setting!
I ended up making a playlist on my ipod titled Nothin' to Lose in which I put on the first 3 Kiss albums & Kiss Alive, any other recordings I have by Kiss from '72-'75, all of the bands & songs that influenced them(the Nazz, The Move, Humble Pie, Free, Beatles, Stones, Who,...etc), & any bands that opened for them or headlined over them (Iggy, Brats, Dolls, B.O.C., Rush...etc). I just put this playlist on random & lay back & read the book!
