"Even This Non-Believer Enjoyed Biography: KISStory
My best friend is a card-carrying member of the KISS Army and got me to watch this documentary. I've never been a huge KISS fan, more of a casual listener, you know? But holy cow, this thing is a wild ride!
Gene Simmons, the Demon himself, is exactly as you'd imagine, larger than life, full of himself, and utterly captivating. And Paul Stanley, the Starchild, is surprisingly insightful. He's the voice of reason amidst all the chaos.
I was surprised by how honest they were about the band's struggles, the drug problems, the egos, the near-breakups. It's not just a glorified infomercial; they show the real side of things.
But the music! Man, the music! Seeing those old concert clips, you can feel the energy. Even if you don't know every song, you can't help but get caught up in the spectacle.
Honestly, I walked away from this with a newfound appreciation for KISS. They may be cheesy, but they're undeniably entertaining.
My Rating: 8.5/10
BTW Rock and Roll All Nite is still an absolute banger. 🤘
