Not a huge KISS fan here, but a talented bass player I worked with in Albuquerque turned me on to some of their music, in '87-'92. Saw them here in UT, the tour where the original members rejoined and put the makeup back on. My date stood me up, but I went anyway and was absolutely floored by their show. The crowd was still whooping and hollering as we exited the Delta Center (something I'd never seen before) and then, walking back to my car, I noticed the Moon was in a lunar eclipse, blood-red.
I'll never forget that night, even though I was by myself.
 
The first record I ever bought with my own $$ was Kiss's Destroyer, and Double Platinum in 77.

Ace influenced an entire generation and encouraged thousands of kids to pick up a guitar.

You know you're getting old when you start seeing your heroes dying. I got to see Kiss in 83 (with Vinnie Vincent) ,87 (with Bruce Kulick), and in 94 & 96 (with Ace) on the reunion tours.
I saw Ace a few times after that when he would come through Denver doing his solo albums tours. RIP to a legend.
