Trini rocks, you'd never catch Paco actually helping the band.

@Motorcyclephil I hope you got an A for your effort! I remember seeing this when i was in kindrgarden and i already had joined the KISS army....ah the memories!

@evanisovich Thanks so much for pointing out that I could have been seeing this episode in 1981. I was born in 1975...

Boy, am I in good company here (evanisovich especially; maybe I have my year wrong and was actually 1981). But anyway, when this episode aired I was 4 (!!!) and the idea that a science show could get a pre-K totally hooked on pyro and metal shenanigans was just UNHEARD OF. Do today's American kids get to see ANY HALFWAY DECENT BANDS through an intelligent lens like this? NOPE. Tragic.

This episode of 321 Contact, made me a KISS fan at the age of 6. It was poster day at school, and all the kids brought Superman, Batman, and Spiderman posters, and I bought it a KISS poster to class.

KISS was my first ever favorite rock-n-roll band and at the age of 9, I got to see them perform here on 3 2 1 Contact. What a treat!!! I remember catching the re-run again a few months later before going to school (It was on early in the morning) and how I was pumped up for school that day! And by the way, Trini & Lisa....total babes!

My 5th grade teacher played this episode in class one day. I'll never forget. Back then I thought kiss was the end all be all. Probably my favorite day of that whole year.

I actually remember seeing this very segment when I was 4 years old in 1981. It was obviously a re-run seeing as this was originally from 1979. So every time I think of 3-2-1 Contact, I think of KISS.

8 trucks for a KISS show?...Hell, big stage shows these days are double that

[WeMustBeStopped]

@KISSfan888 IATSE, baby!!! Still building shows at a venue near you!!

[KISSfan888]

I always wondered who they would get in contact with to make these shows happen. Somebody's gotta make the spectacle that makes the KISS show!
