The fact that Alive! is arguably Kiss's best album highlights the fact
that they are performers first, musicians second. There's nothing
wrong with that, especially when a live album sounds this good.
Stuffed to bursting with classic tracks, Alive!, originally released
in 1975, is a classic metal album. "Deuce," "Strutter," "Hotter than
Hell," "Black Diamond," "100,000 Years," and especially "Rock and Roll
All Nite" (probably the most well-known party song in
existence)--they're all here, and wonder of wonders, they still sound
fresh after all these years. The success of Kiss's 1996 tour shows
that they've still got plenty of fans; Alive! is one album no Kiss fan
should be without. --Genevieve Williams

I can't get past the 'non-comic book era' tunes like Strutter - Black
Diamond and 100,000 years...
Except for parts of side four, A2 is my pick!

Yeah I remember opening that vinyl up for the first time and seeing
that huge stage with all the fire and everything. That was awesome.
You never saw anyone with a huge stage like that back then. Then when
the needle hit Rocket Ride it blew me away. IMO, Rocket Ride was the
heaviest KISS song up to that point. I had never heard the term
"heavy metal" or "thrash" in 1977 but if someone had asked me what
those terms meant I would imagined it was the sound of Ace's guitar in
the opening of Rocket Ride. Plus I love how Gene and Ace look on the
cover of that album. The blood and sweat on Gene on that cover
clearly stated to me back then "we don't care what you think and we
are not a safe band." If that makes any sense.

I felt the same way when I heard "Crazy Nights" and "Forever".
Definitely not a safe band.

I would be ashamed too. KISS is a "safe band", you idiot. Always have
been. A gimmick, albeit a cool gimmick, doesn't mean KISS were a
"dangerous" band. It was all a marketing ploy, nothing more.

The cover to Alive looks so cheezy to me... For an 'arena' band - they're all
clumped together like they're on a sound stage..
Granted, the A2 cover is pretty bad, but, that gatefold :)

That gatefold should have been the cover for A2. But, again, the
intent was to open the gatefold and see that awesome shot!

I'm fine with Alive II. I think it was an attempt to further
establish the four characters...

nothing more than a cartoon band at that point. Granted, I love that
album and the Dynasty look, but it was kid friendly at that point.

KISS has always been a cartoon band to some extent. Their show is an
over the top parody of a rock concert, collecting elements from a
hundred different individual shows and combining them in a single
spectacle.
Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Arguably the pictures are cartoony as well...

until 1979. Even with the "blood" in the comic book bit they were
still trying to portray themselves as "mean, tough, unsafe, and
dirty". By Dynasty (probably more like with that "movie") they were
catering more to kids and no longer cared about being "unsafe". Of
course we all know how that all played out.

thing. It makes sense for KISS to evolve into a comic book/cartoon
band. That was going to happen regardless if they, or the fans. wanted
that to happen. When they became a "kiddie" band, that's when they
started to lose their core audience. That, and the core audience were
no longer teenagers.

I got into KISS when I was 12 or 13, arguably a kid. And that was
back around 77 or 78. I guess I saw them as a kiddie band without
knowing it.
But to underscore your point, I've been dubbing a bunch of old videos
and came across a part of my boy when he was two or three banging on a
lunch box with a drumstick singing Rock & Roll all Nite...

The movie was the turning point...
