People can say whatever they want about KISS but for me, no other band was ever as impactful, especially in 1977! I saw them in concert on this same tour just a few days after this show and I can confirm that it was amazing!
Here's the thing, for all the talk about KISS' lack of musicianship, as someone who plays guitar myself, KISS songs are FUN to play! Complex? Not really. All you need to know are basic chord shapes and a decent working knowledge of the pentatonic scale. But as a player, KISS and AC/DC songs are some of my favorites to play! They just rock!What Kiss lacked in musical talent they made up for in stage show. I saw them and Ted Nugent in Thompson. Fantastic concert. Paul Stanley still had a great voice....at least in the early 2000's.
You're not wrong. I am a A minor pentatonic player myself for the most part. That why I have always loved playing a lot of Led Zeppelin tunes and such. It doesn't have to be fancy (See the Ramones), it just needs to sound good.Here's the thing, for all the talk about KISS' lack of musicianship, as someone who plays guitar myself, KISS songs are FUN to play!
