Kiss
Ace Frehley guitare,
Paul Stanley guitare,
Gène Simmons basse,cfiant,
Pete Criss batterie.
Formé par Simmons et Stanley à New York en 1973, Kiss mit au point un spectacle live théâtral très stylisé, utilisant un look basé sur les personnages de bandes dessinées, recréé grâce à un maquillage très élaboré. En dépit d'un public culte, leurs deux premiers albums ne se vendirent qu'avec modération. En 1975, l'album Dressed To Kili parvint à toucher un certain public aux États-Unis, mais c'est surtout leur album Alive qui leur fit faire une percée dans ce pays.
En 1976, l'album Destroyer (pre¬mier album Kiss à sortir en Grande-Bretagne) devint disque de platine aux États-Unis, exemple suivi par les cinq albums suivants. Chaque membre du groupe produisit également son propre album en solo, mais aucun ne parvint à imiter la puissance des efforts conjugués du groupe.
Criss fit ses adieux en 1980 après l'album Unmasked et fut remplacé par Eric Carr pour Music From The Elder, en 1981. Frehey quitta également le groupe en 1982 et plusieurs guitaristes furent successivement recrutés. Le groupe joua pour la première fois sans maquillage en 1983, et l'album Lick It Up fut bien accueilli des deux côtés de l'Atlantique. Leurs albums continuèrent à se vendre dans les années 80 et 90, avec quelques hits surprise, comme "Crazy Crazy Nights" (1987) et "God Gave Rock 'N' Roll To You" (1992). Malgré la mort de Carr des suites d'un cancer en 1991, le succès du groupe continua avec Revenge (1992) et AlivelU (1993).
