KISS sang how they were made for loving you, but that doesn't mean the feeling is mutual. The New York City theatrical band rocked and rolled all night for five decades, becoming a chart-topping group and expanding their influence into other avenues of opportunity such as film, merchandising, and comic books. Masterminded by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley, KISS is more than music — it's a global business empire. According to the BBC, the band sold its back catalog for a reported figure of $300 million to Swedish enterprise Pophouse Entertainment, which also bought the related intellectual property rights.
While KISS cashes in, others accuse them of selling out. Musicians such as Carlos Santana and Aerosmith's Steven Tyler don't see them as legitimate artists but more of a gimmick willing to do anything for a buck. Others, like Guns N' Roses' Slash and Black Sabbath's Tony Iommi, have simply never liked the band's music to begin with. Then, there are the rare outliers like the Sex Pistols' John Lydon, who likes the people in the group but isn't a fan of their music — but hey, at least he's honest about it and isn't trying to spare his friends' feelings.

They won't admit he's guilty. That would mean he's made fools of them.

I don't care for them or their music, but I love their unintentional comedy.

Steve Earle has publicly trashed that awful band.

Steven always seems to have his clitoris in a pickled twist about something. If he’s not bitching and nagging at Joe Perry like he forgot to put the toilet seat down at 2am, Steven is crying, complaining and bitching about someone else. He really seems like a miserable c*nt.

Just like people who totally love KISS, people who totally hate KISS are complete dorks. Lock'm up together would be the best for the rest of the world.
