With the recent announcement of KISS’ induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame later this year, it would seem that such a big event would galvanize the KISS Army from all over the world. Unfortunately, it seems to be having the opposite effect.
So many “will they/won’t they” questions are keeping all factions of the fan base at each others’ throats. This division is not being helped by the band itself as Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley have released contradicting statements via Twitter over the past few weeks.
To help forget about that tension for a moment and to help us remember what made/makes KISS magical, we present this video that was recently uploaded to Youtube by a user named malfuncsean. Here’s the description from the video:
“This is a video my friend Craig’s parents filmed on Super 8 of myself as Paul Stanley, Craig as Gene Simmons, Morgan as Peter Criss and Craig’s sister making an appearance as her own version of KISS. This had no sound so the music was added just for fun. This was filmed in Craig’s backyard in Anaheim, CA some time in 1977.”
There’s plenty of time for finger-pointing between now and April. Until then, enjoy this little look at how much fun it is to be a KISS fan.
