"Mon commentaire : Ce n'est pas mon avis même si je suis d'accord sur l'essentiel.

Les moins :  
-Albums solo : trop sévère avec Peter. Pas assez avec Paul et surtout avec Gene. L'album solo de Gene meilleur que Dynasty ????
- Unmasked surclassé (il devrait être derrière Music From The Elder)
- Dynasty sous classé... cet album est loin d'être le meilleur de Kiss mais il ne faut quand même pas exagéré ! Il y a un tas d'albums de Kiss qui sont encore moins bon.
- Carnival of Souls sous classé
- Destroyer surclassé... J'aime beaucoup cet album mais il y a trop de déchets dessus pour qu'il soit le meilleur album de Kiss

Les plus :  
- The Elder à la bonne place !
- la période des albums 70's largement en tête (les 6 albums dans les 8 premières places)
- "Creatures of the Night" meilleur album sans Ace... C'est également mon avis.
- Album solo d'Ace dans le TOP 5."


24. 'Peter Criss' (1978)
It's tempting to leave Criss' solo project out of these Kiss album rankings altogether. After all, he was clearly running as far from the band's hard rock sound as possible. Instead, the voice behind "Beth" and "Hard Luck Woman" leans heavily on ballads and the R&B sound of his previous groups. Even considering that, it must be said he simply doesn't have the songwriting talent or charisma to front an entire album.
23. 'Crazy Nights' (1987)
Kiss have been guilty of changing too much to fit in with current trends several times in their career – disco in the late '70s, grunge in the '90s. But there's never been a worse fit for them than the gloppy layers of pop-metal keyboards that dominate this instantly dated album.
22. 'Hot in the Shade' (1989)
While the keyboards and poppy production of 'Crazy Nights' are happily left behind, things get a bit too primitive here. Despite some strong moments – "Rise to It," "Little Ceaser" – there's entirely too much filler on this overlong 15-track collection. Happily, the band reconnected with their '70s live mojo on the supporting tour, and their studio renaissance was coming up soon.
21. 'Music From 'The Elder'' (1981)
With their career on the brink of total failure, Kiss started out here with every intention of making a back-to-basics album, and somehow got talked into swinging for the fences with a bizarre concept album set in medieval times. There are more successful experiments here than you'd believe, but even those are a "cult midnight movie" kind of triumph, for the most devoted fans only.
20. 'Carnival of Souls' (1997)
After successfully going hard and heavy with 1992's triumphant 'Revenge,' Kiss apparently decided to try and top themselves on the follow-up. There's plenty of great riffs here, but overall things veer a bit too far into gloomy grunge / Black Sabbath territory. The album was largely abandoned when the group's classic makeup lineup reunited in 1996, but fans of Gene Simmons in full Demon mode will find some keepers here.
19. 'Animalize' (1984)
With the only other remaining founding member of Kiss (Gene Simmons) off chasing a movie career, Paul Stanley was largely left to cement Kiss' early '80s comeback by himself with this album. "Heaven's on Fire" accomplished that mission handily, but without Simmons' full involvement, the rest of the album is a bit one-dimensional.
18. 'Dynasty' (1979)
We're not going to go on an anti-disco rant. "I Was Made for Lovin' You" is a really catchy song, if a bit of a shock to traditionalists – and "Sure Know Something" is even better. But after tasting individual freedom during the making of their 1978 solo albums, it sounds like Kiss were too fractured and scattered to come back together as a team again here.
17. 'Psycho Circus' (1997)
Hailed as the first album by the original lineup in almost 20 years, and hot on the heels of its sold-out reunion tour, 'Psycho Circus' turned out to be the definitive proof that these four guys simply couldn't work together anymore, as Ace Frehley and Peter Criss hardly contributed at all. That said, this album has several bright points - including "Within," "We Are One" and the lurching, Frehley-fronted "Into the Void."
16. 'Sonic Boom' (2009)
Kiss went more than a decade after 'Psycho Circus' without making a new studio album. When they returned to the studio, Paul Stanley firmly took control, insisting that he produce, that the band play together in the studio and that the ballads got left on the cutting-room floor. These seemingly simple rules yielded unsurprisingly pleasurable results, particularly with their best single in years, "Modern Day Delilah."
15. 'Monster' (2012)
Sticking with the formula that made 2009's 'Sonic Boom' a welcome return, Kiss come up with a slightly more diverse and stronger set of songs here. Highlights include the trippy "Long Way Down" and the admittedly juvenile "Take Me Down Below," which finds Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley gleefully trading sex boasts over a stomping AC/DC-inspired track.
14. 'Gene Simmons' (1978)
Gene Simmons clearly made the most of the freedom he was allowed while recording his 1978 solo album – trading his bass for guitar, bringing in a ton of A-list guest stars and, most famously, closing with an unironic, string-enhanced cover of "When You Wish Upon a Star." You wouldn't have wanted this to be the next Kiss album, but there's plenty of fun to be had here.
13. 'Asylum' (1985)
This underrated album finds Kiss keeping one foot in the commercial '80s sound that would earn them crucial MTV airplay on tracks like "Tears Are Falling." But Gene Simmons seems fully re-engaged here, and there's also a welcome shift back to a '70s sensibility on songs such as "Radar for Love" and "Any Way You Slice It."
12. 'Paul Stanley' (1978)
While Peter Criss explored his musical past and Gene Simmons got wild and a bit weird on their solo albums, Stanley basically set out to prove that he could make a Kiss album all by himself. Songs like "Tonight You Belong to Me" and "Move On" demonstrated that he was pretty much exactly right.
11. 'Unmasked' (1980)
This is the most under-appreciated record in the entire Kiss catalog. Granted, the slick, polished power-pop sound is miles from "Deuce" or "Strutter," but the songwriting is consistent and catchy as all hell. Paul Stanley's gift for hooks has never been on better display than on tracks like "Shandi," "Tomorrow" and "What Makes the World Go Around," and Ace Frehley's loopy trio of songs are worth the price of admission alone.
10. 'Lick it Up' (1983)
The removal of their famous makeup dominated all the headlines about this album, but the real story is how well new guitarist Vinnie Vincent clicked with Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons as a songwriting partner. Turns out he was (allegedly) too much of a wingnut to last for even one more album, but songs like "Lick It Up" and "All Hell's Breaking Loose" broke the band out of a long commercial slump.
9. 'Revenge' (1992)
Teaming up with noted 'Destroyer' (yes, and 'Elder') producer Bob Ezrin helped Kiss deliver exactly the uncompromising, trend-free album their fans had been waiting on for more than a decade. In his finest hour with the group, Bruce Kulick unleashes an endless stack of great riffs, and both Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley recapture their over-sized personas on the strength of the band's best songwriting since 'Creatures of the Night.'
8. 'Dressed to Kill' (1975)
Amazingly, Kiss released their first three albums in a little more than one year. Besides being home to eventual career-igniting anthem "Rock and Roll All Nite," 'Dressed to Kill' finds the band getting more sophisticated and powerful on songs like "She" and "Rock Bottom."
7. 'Rock and Roll Over' (1976)
Apparently feeling things got a bit too ornate on their previous LP, 'Destroyer,' Kiss stripped things down for their second album of 1976, recording the record in an empty concert hall. This tougher sound combined with their well-honed songwriting skills to fantastic effect on instant classics such as "I Want You," "Makin' Love' and 'Calling Dr. Love."
6. 'Love Gun' (1977)
The last of the six "classic-era" Kiss albums finds the original band at full strength for the last time. The title track has proven to be Paul Stanley's defining composition, "Christine Sixteen" finds Gene Simmons in peak creep over an insistent piano riff and Ace Frehley gets over his shyness to deliver his first lead vocal on "Shock Me."
5. 'Ace Frehley' (1978)
Ace Frehley delivered a stunningly consistent, catchy set of hard rock songs on his debut solo album – clearly the strongest of the band's four jointly released efforts. His emergence as a songwriter and performer would soon throw the band into chaos and lead to his 1982 departure from the group ... but it just might have been worth it.
4. 'Hotter Than Hell' (1974)
Kiss broadened and darkened their sound just a bit on their sophomore album. The murky – ahh, let's just admit it, crappy – production can't hide the power of catchy Stanley tracks like "Got to Choose" or "Comin' Home." Simmons delivers his sludgiest bit of evil ever in "Goin' Blind," and Frehley lets his buddy Peter Criss sing on the borderline psychedelic closer "Strange Ways."
3. 'Kiss' (1974)
These are the songs on which the empire was built – "Deuce," "Black Diamond," "Cold Gin" and many more. Admittedly, they'd all sound much better the following year as part of 'Alive!,' but it was clear from this primitive start that Kiss had the songs to back up their outrageous imaging.
2. 'Creatures of the Night' (1982)
This seething monster of an album easily could have topped this list. With their career in tatters, the remaining original half of Kiss (Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons) cut the crap and told their real story, angrily dispatching Ace Frehley in "Saint and Sinner," chronicling their place in the rock world with the unflinching "Rock and Roll Hell" and re-declaring their love of the genre with the "I Love It Loud" battle cry.
1. 'Destroyer' (1976)
'Alive!' made them stars, but Kiss still needed to prove they had a future in the recording studio. So they hired Bob Ezrin, who used drill-sergeant methods to get the group to add subtlety and dynamics to their bulldozer sound on arena classics like "Detroit Rock City," 'God of Thunder" and "Shout It Out Loud."

tes opinions se défendent .... je ne suis pas toujours d accord mais ils se défendent ...bravo

juste un exemple .perso je pense que le carnival est un album burné qui fait partie de mon top cinq de leurs albums ...autre exemple , lick ...pour moi aussi il fait partie de mon top cinq , la principal différence avec le créatures c est une pochette que je qualifierai de bof .. les albums solos ne sont pas pour moi des albums de Kiss , donc d un intérêt très limité .. sur les quatre premiers albums il y a que des pépites c est vrais , mais ils ont plutôt mal vieilli selon moi sauf destroyer .

Je suis d'accord avec toi DOMM, carnival est vraiment très bon, c'est frustrant qu'il n'ai pas été reconnu à sa juste valeur. Mes préférés sont, dressed to kill, creatures, the elder, rock n roll over et animalize. J'adore Animalize, pour moi il termine le triptique, creatures/lick it up/animalize.

Comme cette chanson, Burn bitch burn, je m'en lasse pas !

bon le père Stanley a déclaré dans une interview qu'il trouvai plus intéressante l idée de faire un nouvel album solo qu'un nouvel album de KISS, si nouvel album solo il devait y avoir il serait proche de celui de 1978 ... il écrit actuellement un nouveau bouquin .... mais il ajoute aussi que rien n est gravé dans le marbre .

Je sais pas si ça serait une bonne idée un nouvel album, je suis resté sur ma faim avec Monsters.. J'ai largement préféré Sonic boom. Finalement ils se font plaisir avec leurs formation solo. Je viens de voir qu'ils parlent d'une grande tournée pour 2019.. Peût-être "The end of the road" comme ils en ont parlé récemment. En tout cas aujourd'hui j'ai acheté mon billet pour le concert de Madrid, j'ai le sourire jusqu'aux oreilles

Merci beaucoup, Pasteur

Donc apparemment une tournée d'adieu de 3 ans !

http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/kiss-to-launch-three-year-world-tour-in-january-2019-says-gene-simmons/

J’espère vraiment qu'ils passeront en France ! J'ai vraiment envie de les voir

Excellent !!!
La vérité sort de la bouche des enfants

Du coup ils vont faire une tournée d'adieu de trois ans, et ensuite Kiss sera classé comme monument historique de la musique ?

C'est déjà un monument !

Si des anciens membres sont invités pour cette fameuse tournée, ils n'auront pas droit au maquillage..


http://ultimateclassicrock.com/kiss-no-makeup-former-members/?trackback=fbshare_mobile_top

C'est vraiment con quand même que les anciens ne puissent pas porter leurs maquillage...
"s'ils ne sont plus dans le groupe depuis + de 20 ans ils n'ont pas le droit de se maquiller"
C'est injuste..

Le groupe doit arrêté , Paul et Gene sont entrain de détruire Kiss ,c'est devenu Spinal Tap plus que Spinal tap c'est dire !!! pour moi c'est fini tant mieux pour les autres et bonne chance ,lol !

Gene Simmons Settles Sexual Battery Case
The Kiss frontman was accused of groping the plaintiff and making “unwanted, unwarranted sexual advances” during an interview.

Gene Simmons has settled a lawsuit alleging sexual battery, gender violence, battery and assault against a female radio and television broadcaster, according to court filings.

Simmons and the plaintiff, identified as “Jane Doe,” announced to Los Angeles County Supreme Court Judge Daniel S. Murphy on July 2 their case had been settled. The terms of the settlement are unclear.

The parties will need to submit an official request for dismissal to end the lawsuit.

Simmons was originally sued in December for allegedly groping the plaintiff and making “unwanted, unwarranted sexual advances” during a Nov. 1 interview with Simmons and his Kiss bandmate Paul Stanley at their Rock & Brews restaurant at San Manuel Casino in Highland, California.

According to the lawsuit, Simmons repeatedly grabbed the plaintiff’s hand and “forcefully placed it on his knee and held it on his knee.” It also alleged the rocker “forcibly flicked/struck” the plaintiff’s throat, later providing an “incoherent explanation” for his behavior.

The suit also said that while posing for a promotional photograph together after the interview, Simmons “reached toward Plaintiff Doe’s buttocks and touched it.”

The plaintiff was identified in the documents as a “long-time on-air personality for a local rock station.”

“Defendant Simmons turned standard interview questions into sexual innuendos, which made plaintiff Doe extremely uncomfortable,” the suit read.

Her attorney, Willie W. Williams, told The San Bernardino Sun in an interview last year her client was “embarrassed and humiliated by the incident with Mr. Simmons” and “filed suit because she wanted to make a strong statement that this behavior is unacceptable and she wants to see an end to this type of behavior.

Rock & Brews co-founder and Kiss bassist Gene Simmons was sued Friday by a local radio and television broadcaster who accuses him of making sexual advances and inappropriately touching her during an on-camera at the Rock & Brew restaurant at San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino on Nov. 1.

A radio and television broadcaster on Friday, Dec. 15, sued musician and Rock & Brews restaurant co-founder Gene Simmons, alleging Simmons made unwarranted sexual advances during an on-camera interview Nov. 1 at the restaurant’s San Manuel Casino location in Highland.

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, alleges the plaintiff, identified as “Jane Doe,” arrived with her crew at the restaurant, which was celebrating its recent expansion at the casino, to interview Simmons and his longtime Kiss bandmate and Rock & Brews co-founder, Paul Stanley.

According to the lawsuit, during the interview, which occurred on a couch in a designated “green room,” Simmons reached over and grabbed the woman’s hand and “forcefully placed it on his knee and held it on his knee.” The lawsuit states the woman immediately removed her hand from Simmons’ knee.

Simmons, the lawsuit states, continued his “unwanted, unwarranted sexual advances” by reaching for the woman’s hand again.

“Defendant Simmons turned standard interview questions into sexual innuendos, which made plaintiff Doe extremely uncomfortable,” according to the lawsuit, noting that Simmons grabbed the woman’s hand again, made a cooing sound and said she “must use lotion” before making another sexual innuendo. He then “forcibly flicked/struck” the woman in the middle of her throat, then provided an “incoherent explanation” for doing it after noticing the woman’s shock, according to the lawsuit.

The woman’s attorney, Willie W. Williams, would not reveal where his client worked. The lawsuit identifies her as a “long-time on-air personality for a local rock station.”

“My client is embarrassed and humiliated by the incident with Mr. Simmons,” Williams said in a telephone interview Friday. He said his client is not seeking publicity and wished to remain anonymous.

“She filed suit because she wanted to make a strong statement that this behavior is unacceptable and she wants to see an end to this type of behavior,” Williams said.

Following the Nov. 1 interview, the woman posed with Simmons for a promotional photograph. That’s when Simmons “reached toward Plaintiff Doe’s buttocks and touched it,” according to the lawsuit.

“Again, Plaintiff Doe kept her composure and discreetly moved away,” the lawsuit states. “They took the pictures, but Plaintiff Doe declined the invitation to ‘stay around.’”

The lawsuit also names as defendants: Rock & Brews Holdings, LLC., Rock & Brews Holdings, Inc., Rock & Brews, LLC., and Rock & Brews Franchising, LLC. It alleges sexual battery, gender violence, battery, and assault, among other allegations.


bref , harcèlement sexuel .... donc juste une remarque ..hey Gène , tu n'as plus 20 ans est ce qui pouvait passer dans les 70's  ne passe plus aujourd’hui ... de plus les femmes sont des êtres humains a part entière  qui doivent être traiter avec respect ( pense a ta mère )  , de plus avec ton statut d idole, tu as une influence plus ou moins grande sur tes fans , donc fais gaffe a ton comportement , arrête de te comporter comme un porc .. ( avis personnel )

http://ultimateclassicrock.com/gene-simmons-consent-addict/

Le fils de Gene Simmons, le fils de Gene Simmons, a décrit son père comme un "égomaniaque", un "philanderer" et un "abrasif" - mais aussi comme un "toxicomane consentant" qui ne se rendra probablement pas coupable d'inconduite sexuelle.

Simmons Sr. fait l'objet d'une plainte déposée par une femme identifiée comme Jane Doe, qui prétend qu'il l'a forcée à mettre sa main sur son genou avant de la tâtonner. Il a par la suite publié un déni fort via Ultimate Classic Rock, en disant: "J'attends avec impatience ma journée au tribunal où les preuves prouveront mon innocence."

Nick Simmons a dit à TMZ qu'il doutait de ces allégations et qu'il était préoccupé par le fait que de fausses réclamations avaient eu un impact négatif sur la campagne #MeToo, qui s'est développée après que le producteur hollywoodien Harvey Weinstein ait été accusé d'inconduite par plusieurs femmes.

"Nous avons entendu quelqu'un s'avancer et il nous a dit que c'était un mensonge direct", a déclaré Simmons Jr. "Il est mon père. Je le crois ... Personne ne l'accuse de ne pas être une sorte de trou abrasif, mais je pense qu'il y a une ligne dure à tracer entre être désagréable et être une personnalité abrasive, et être quelqu'un qui abuse des gens ou des gens.

"Je pense toujours à ce mouvement comme à une sorte de bombe nucléaire ... vous frappez les cibles qui doivent être touchées, comme Weinstein, les monstres - et il y a des dommages collatéraux à cause de la mentalité de groupe et de la mafia. Donc, je pense que c'est quelqu'un qui profite d'une bonne chose pour des raisons égoïstes. Il est sur disque pour être un philanderer à coup sûr. Il a été infidèle à ma mère ... Il est un f-g égocentrique. Si quoi que ce soit, il est un toxicomane consentant. Il veut un consentement véhément, c'est tout son truc. Il veut que les gens l'aiment. Il ne veut pas forcer les non consentants. Cela ne semble pas être sa personnalité. "

Interrogé pour savoir si l'expérience pourrait changer son père, Nick a répondu: "Je l'espère", expliquant que la star n'avait "pas su s'adapter" aux changements et ajoutant: "Je pense qu'il doit le faire; Je pense que nous devons tous le faire. "Il a poursuivi:" Et s'il s'avère que mon père a fait quelque chose, je vais l'aimer et le soutenir comme nous l'oblige à faire mieux. Je ne vais pas abandonner mon père, mais en même temps je ne vais pas fermer les yeux s'il fait quelque chose. "

Il a dit de Jane Doe: "Si elle dit la vérité, je veux entendre ce qu'elle a à dire, et si elle ment, alors je pense que pour le bien du mouvement #MeToo, je pense qu'elle devrait aller de l'avant et faire la bonne chose

C'est bizarre son histoire me rappelle étrangement celle de Tripp Eisen...
C'est dingue quand même...

J'étais à côté du mec qui prend le premier plan, devant la scène. Ils ont vieilli mais putain c'était bon de les voir !

Que dire Paul n'arrive pas a chanté ,Gene , Tommy et Eric font tous pour l'aidé mais quel désastre ,le meilleur pour i was made ,un vrai supplice , stop !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gene le fait mieux aujourd'hui

Dernière info !!!

Excellent !
