Back then, coming out of the uniformity of the 60s, going into the hippie late 60s early 70s, which led to disco, I can see and understand WHY a band such as KISS was as big as it was. A total middle finger to the status quo. Something so far outside the lines it was revelatory. But it wasn't good music then and it definitely isn't good music now. It was their "style" that put them on the map.
KISS was such tame ass music. But you're right, the stage show, the corpse paint, wild outfits and antics were what shot them to worldwide fame. People saw their magazine covers and assumed they were some extreme, Satanic-sounding band. Pfft. They weren't. They were a standard rock band, that's it.
I couldn't name you one song they've ever done, but I can tell you exactly what they look like. That says it all right there.
I do know some of their music, and some of their tunes were alright "party anthems" for drinking with a bunch of buddies, I guess. Still, they'd have been more obscure had their appearance and press not given them the pathway to the stars.
I just thought it was fake and gay This was before I was Jewpilled Now I just see it as degenerate mass marketing to the goyim
