Music Magazine Classic Rock Special: Kiss Fourth Edition Back Issue

Kiss were the dudes with the make-up and the flash-bombs and the tongues and the blood-spitting anthems about rock’n’rolling all night and partying every day. Like the Cadillac and Coca Cola, Kiss are a great American icon. These stack heeled superheroes busted out of the New York club scene to build the greatest empire music has ever seen. You could listen to their albums while eating from the Kiss lunchbox, playing the Kiss pinball machine. Kiss aren’t the cleverest or most sophisticated band around. They’re not reinventing the wheel or changing the world or winning any prizes for poetry. But the songs they’ve written since they exploded into life back in the multi-coloured swirl of the early 70s stand among the greatest songs in the history of rock’n’roll, anthems of love, lust, rebellion and rock’n’roll that have soundtracked millions of lives the world over

We’ve brought all of that together in this special collection of exclusive interviews and features taken from the pages of Classic Rock magazine and beyond. Inside, you’ll find the stories behind the landmark albums and the greatest songs, as well as thoughts of Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Tommy Thayer, Eric Singer, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. So bust out the panstick, fire up the flashbombs and get ready to rock’n’roll all nite…
