KISS has been hard rockin' the nation since 1973 and got its start with the band Wicked Lester in '71. The original members Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss are most recognizable as the personas of comic book-style characters—the Demon, the Star Child, the Space Ace, and the Cat Man. Despite band member changes and the evolution of popular music, KISS continues to be "Hotter than Hell" after 30 years as the greatest rock 'n roll band in the world!
