the best band in the world , the wildest sound in the history of rock & roll , who apreciates the power of heavy music never forget this amazing sound created by kiss ¡¡¡¡¡¡
kiss was a glam hard rock band not a dance pop band thats when they started sucking in 75/76! if i want to hear dance music i listen to kylie minogue not KISS! is i want to hear ballads i listen to SADE not KISS! when i want to hear kick in that balls rnr i listen to 73-74 KISS! be who you are!
@sjdss Ace probably hated this equally for financial reasons. E.g., you mention Disco/Dance Music artist, Kylie Minogue, as one of your favorites. After borrowing a couple of her cds in the library, I was amazed at some of the progressive material on them, BUT if she was to put out an entire recording of such material, it would tank as the majority of her fans want to hear the her light disco/dance music.
Same with KISS, especially this came out in their teen bopper period with disco material
i was nine by the time "the elder" got out. i hated everything about it back then. getting rid of the long hair, the costumes, the music and most of all the departure of ace, i couldn't believe it. i turned to def leppard and iron maiden and listened to the old stuff like love gun, alive and so on.
The elder is a good album. And I agree , If it were say , a Rush release it would have been considerd Great. Kiss just shot themselves in the foot going teenie pop. Probably Gene's fault!
One of the best things about this live recording is that they are using Marshalls where I noticed on their reuion tours they used tinny sounding Hiwats, big difference in sound. Marshalls rule and I am not a paid endorser of Marshalls
@PolyQuasi The only spinal tap aspect is they played it with make up, the Elder with the non-makeup \non-teen-booper KiSS or if released by Rush, Savatage etc would have been considered of the best progressive metal recordings of all time
The Elder is one of the best KISS recordings ever, should have been released in the non-makeup period where the progressive metal recording would have be appreciated instead of released in their teenybobber days

The Elder has some pretty good songs on it. Just a different type KISS album. I think it gets more credit today than when it came out.
