Kiss é uma banda de hard rock dos Estados Unidos, formada em Nova York em 1973. Conhecida mundialmente pelas suas maquilhagens e pelos concertos muito elaborados e até exagerados que incluem guitarras esfumaçantes, fogo e sangue cuspido por tudo quanto é sítio, muita pirotecnia e por vezes alguma música.
Este grupo constitui um dos maiores impactos culturais da década de 1970. Os seus dois fundadores são Gene Simmons (baixo e voz) e Paul Stanley (guitarra e voz), aos quais se juntaram Ace Frehley (guitarra solo e voz) e Peter Criss (bateria e voz).
Alguns álbuns que mais fama trouxeram ao grupo foram Destroyer de 1976, Love Gun de 1977 ou Dynasty de 79 que incluía o hit nanananananana uhuhuhuhuh I was made for lovin’ you.

O grupo mantém-se ainda em actividade e lançaram um novo álbum, Sonic Boom este ano.
Aqui algumas das imagens do grupo como as capas de alguns dos seus álbuns.

Rooted in the campy theatrics of Alice Cooper and the sleazy hard rock of glam rockers the New York Dolls, Kiss became a favorite of American teenagers in the '70s. Most kids were infatuated with the look of Kiss, not their music. Decked out in outrageously flamboyant costumes and makeup, the band fashioned a captivating stage show featuring dry ice, smoke bombs, elaborate lighting, blood spitting, and fire breathing that captured the imaginations of thousands of kids. But Kiss' music shouldn't be dismissed -- it was a commercially potent mix of anthemic, fist-pounding hard rock driven by sleek hooks and ballads powered by loud guitars, cloying melodies, and sweeping strings. It was a sound that laid the groundwork for both arena rock and the pop-metal that dominated rock in the late '80s. Kiss was the brainchild of Gene Simmons (bass, vocals) and Paul Stanley (rhythm guitar, vocals), former members of the New York-based hard rock band Wicked Lester; the duo brought in drummer Peter Criss through his ad in Rolling Stone and guitarist Ace Frehley responded to an advertisement in The Village Voice.
Kiss released their self-titled debut in February of 1974; it peaked at number 87 on the U.S. charts. By April of 1975, the group had released three albums and had toured America constantly, building up a sizable fan base. Culled from those numerous concerts,Alive! (released in the fall of 1975) made the band rock & roll superstars; it climbed into the Top Ten and its accompanying single, "Rock 'N' Roll All Nite," made it to number 12. Their follow-up,Destroyer, was released in March of 1976 and became the group's first platinum album; it also featured their first Top Ten single, Peter Criss' power ballad "Beth."
Dynasty, released in 1979, continued their streak of platinum albums, yet it was their last recorded with the original lineup -- Criss left in 1980.
This super group lives on ano n and they released their last álbum this year: Sonic Boom.
Here some KISS pictures and the covers of some of their albuns.
