I was a huge KISS fan...and had always assumed they were contemporaries, no? BTW - Anyone see this recent idea hatched by Simmons & Co. where they're going to launch an American Idol-styled talent contest to find four guys to REPLACE all the members of KISS a la Menudo? Simmons and Stanley want to retire after this current European tour and are basically looking for a pre-manufactured tribute act to go out and BE them. I'm still on the fence deciding whether this is the stupidest Simmons idea ever...or his most brilliant.
