Shout It Out Loud
How does an underground oddity become a cultural phenomenon? For over 40 years, the rock band Kiss has galvanized the entertainment world with an unparalleled blitz of bravado, theatricality, and shameless merchandizing, garnering generations of loyally rabid fans. But if not for a few crucial months in late 1975 and early 1976, Kiss may have ended up nothing more than a footnote. Shout It Out Loud is a serious examination of the circumstance and serendipity that fused the creation of the band's seminal work, Destroyer - including the band's arduous ascent to the unexpected smash hit, Alive!, the ensuing lawsuits between its management and its label, the pursuit of the hot, young producer, a grueling musical \"boot camp \" the wildly creative studio abandon, the origins behind an iconic cover, the era's most outlandish tour, and the unlikely string of hit singles. Extensive research from the period and insights into each song are enhanced by hundreds of archived materials and dozens of interviews surrounding the mid-'70s-era Kiss and its zeitgeist. New interviews with major principals in the making of an outrageously imaginative rock classic animate this engaging tale.

POP MUSIC REVIEW; Embedded with the KISS Army; The rock spectacle and 'Sonic Boom' comes to Anaheim. It gets tongues wagging
\"If you came here thinking a rock 'n' roll band could tell you how to end global warming . . . you're in the wrong place tonight!\" The best of the old songs were still catchy and delivered a nice cheap thrill as Simmons shouted \"Rock and Roll All Nite\" to an exploding cloud of white confetti. New songs included \"Say Yeah,\" a catchy, anthemic tune that had the crowd singing along, as the many video screens on stage filled with the faces of fans wearing KISS makeup.

35-plus years in, Kiss can still party with the best of them
Kiss, which first spit flame to fame in the '70s as the fire-breathing, pyro-shooting, action-figure fantasy of teenagers everywhere, has stuck around for so many generations that Monday night at the Garden it was the parents who called their kids to tell them they'd be home late.

CD REVIEW: Kiss, 'Monster'
Founding singer, songwriter, and guitarist Paul Stanley produced \"Monster,\" using his 40 years of experience with the band to hold its ground with a lean, raucous sound that is true to both Kiss and classic-rock heroics.

KISS SONIC BOOM
Musically, the songs hark back not to Kiss's 1970s heyday but to 1980s metal; despite its \"Rock and Roll All Nite\"-style hook, \"Never Enough\" (about not just wanting it all but, appropriately enough for Kiss, taking it all) sounds almost exactly like Poison's \"Nothin' but a Good Time,\" which is like two snakes eating each other's tails.
