KlSS – Detroyer
Continuing the topic of bands/albums/musicians that influenced me, I don’t even know that I need to explain this one to most people. I am not sure I know of anyone who was not a fan of KISS in the 70’s! This one band was responsible for me, my younger brother and two neighborhood friends creating our own ‘KISS’ band – dressing up with the makeup (I had the privilege of being Peter Criss), creating a drumset with paint cans, using roller skates for our platform shoes (removing the wheels and replacing them with wood cutouts), torn t-shirts, even dry ice that we used under our made up stage. It was so much fun and resulted in a lot of great memories. The best thing though was the music of course and this one album is probably one of, if not the, my favorites by the band – the ‘Destroyer’ album! Hard to believe that this was their fourth studio album and was released in 1976. ‘Shout it out Loud’ and ‘Beth’ (of course this one because it allowed me to do my ‘solo’ during our concerts, lol!) are standouts for me! A classic for sure!
