Biography
On the expanses of the Soviet Union, the American rock band KISS was leading the number of angry articles of home-grown music. The accusers even at the beginning of the restructuring accused the team in propaganda of violence and Nazism, compared the sound of rockers with the melodicity of the sounds published by the sawmill. However, the frontman Jean Simmons is not insulted on the successor of the USSR and has repeatedly brought the team to Russia.The history of creation and composition
In 1972, 2 participants of the New York group Wicked Lester, Jean Simmons and Paul Stanley, met on an ad with Peter Chris, who was older than both guys, barely overshadowed the threshold of twenties.
The trio began to experiment with the scenic image. At the end of 1972, Guitarist Aise Freili joined the original composition. In the book Kiss & Tel, it is said that the novice conquered Gina, Peter and Paul not only to hold a tool, but also for eccentricity: the musician came to casting in the shoes of different colors.

At the beginning of the 80s of the 20th century, Eric Carr and Winnie Vincent made them at the beginning of the 80s of the 20th century. Vincent was made under the fox and warrior.
In the history of the team there was a period (from 1983 to 1995), when the participants performed without a grima. It was in this form that the musicians appeared in the most famous clip unholy.
The team has repeatedly disintegrated and reunited again. A group that chooses at the time of creation as a target audience of adolescents, is now rather an ensemble for pensioners: fans of the performers have raised with them.
Music
The genre of songs "Specialists in Kisses" is the synthesis of Glam and Hard-rock with splashes of pop music and disco. The performers set a goal at each concert to force the audience for challenging about family troubles and career problems.To achieve this, KISS participants showed a present show on stage: they were bleeding (in reality - tinned yogurt), the fire was buried, they broke the guitars and took off, without stopping playing. It is not by chance that one of the best plates of the group is called Psycho Circus - "Crazy Circus".
During the years of highest activity, the musicians produced 1-2 compilation annually. The first in the discography was the album, the name of which coincided with the name of the collective. The most successful single championship is Strutter. The albums have repeatedly obtained the status of gold and platinum.
In 2016, Simmons and Stanley played themselves in the family comedy of John Hamburg "Why is he?", Telling about the rivalry of the boyfriend-millionaire female Stephanie and her aging father. In the film, Ilon Mask was also flashed in the movie-Kameo.
The picture is not the first experience of cooperation with cinema. A year earlier, they voiced the detective cartoon "Scooby-Doo and Kiss: Mystery of Rock and Roll", in which the drawing twins of rockers operated. Love Gun songs sounded in the animation ribbon, Rock and Roll All Nite and the team's business card - Hit I Was Made for Lovin 'You. Back in 1978, the musicians starred in the picture Kiss Meets The Phantom of the Park.
KISS now
In September 2018, the Group reported that from 2019, the farewell tour "End of the Road" starts, whose final show will be held in July 2021 in New York. "Farewell kisses" teams with the Russian public were held at concerts in the Ice Palace of St. Petersburg and VTB arena (the former Dynamo Stadium) of Moscow in June 2019. Earlier, the team in the capital twice performed at the Olympic SC.
In February 2020, the Rock Group became the guest of the Canadian analogue "Minutes of Fame". Although some concerts are canceled due to the health of musicians (as it happened with performances in New Zealand and Australia), while others begin with a delay of 2.5 hours (as it happened on the Moscow arena), leaving the scene, the Rock-N- veterans Rollage is lit now the same as at the beginning of the career.
