Recruiting Peter Criss as drummer and Ace Frehley as lead guitarist, the group set off to work on their first album. Their self-titled debut album, released in 1974, was certified Gold in 1977 by the RIAA. However, it was not until the band's third album, Dressed To Kill, that the band dropped into the top 50 on the Billboard 200, peaking at #32.
Dressed began KISS' rise to superstardom, but their next album Alive! cemented it. A live album, it gave the band their first Top 10 record as well as their first hit single, "Rock and Roll All Nite." The following several years afterward saw the band become very successful. Albums such as Destroyer, Rock and Roll Over, Alive II, Love Gun, and Dynasty all reached the Top 10, and all have been certified Platinum or above. The albums spawned several popular singles, including "Beth," (#7) "Hard Luck Woman," (#15) "Calling Dr. Love," (#16) and "I Was Made for Lovin' You" (#11). According to Allmusic, the KISS fan club reached over 100,000 members by the end of the 1970s, a testament to their popularity.
However, their good fortune was not to last. A poorly executed attempt to release solo albums simultaneously, along with rising tensions among the band members (leading to a high turnover in just a few years) threw KISS into the proverbial wilderness for the first half of the 1980s. In order to renew the band's status, the members shed their trademark makeup in 1983. The plan worked; when released later in the year, Lick It Up became KISS' first Platinum album since 1979's Dynasty. The resurgence of the band continued with the next three albums Animalize, Asylum, and Crazy Nights. Additionally, they co-released "Forever" with Michael Bolton on 1989's Hot in the Shade, and it became their most successful single since "Beth." Among the band's recent albums, 1992's Revenge and 1998's Psycho Circus have peaked at #6 and #3 respectively.
In addition to its studio albums, KISS has produced very successful tours. These in turn have produced successful live albums, including the three Alive albums from 1975, 1977, and 1993 respectively. The band's previous tour, the Kiss Alive 35 tour, celebrated the special anniversary of the album that propelled the band into stardom. Throughout late 2009 and early 2010, KISS' is going back on tour to promote their first album in 11 years. KISS tickets are on sale, and there is no better place to buy them than TicketNetwork.
