Gene Simmons is the leader of Kiss, the
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
stadium-playing glam rockers whose run of
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
hits began in 1975 with RockΓÇÖnΓÇÖRoll All Nite. It
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
was the bandΓÇÖs look, rather than their sheeny,
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
Alice Cooper-style rock sound, that drew the
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
most attention. Stack heels and flamboyant
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
catsuits aside, Kiss were never seen without
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
full make-up.
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
In the late 1970s, Kissmania swept America,
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
with the band endorsing comic books, masks
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
and even cars. Their popularity surged again
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
when Crazy Crazy Nights featured in the 1991
--- RECORDSEPARATOR ---
movie Bill and TedΓÇÖs Bogus Journey.
