KISS – Knights in Satan’s Service?

Remember that groovy band Kiss… “Knights in Satan Service” Haha…I was a big fan when I was a kid. They were the first “shock rock” band I remember…They did songs about the good things in life… Sex!

They painted their faces and wore these cool costumes… They jumped around on stage and had fire and platforms and shiny drums. The bass player spit up blood and blew fire… It has been said they were the “hardest working band of all time”.

There band consisted of:

Cat
Star child
Vampire
Space Man

So where they the Kings in Satan Service? Or was this just a clever marketing publicity stunt?  Perhaps the movement to label all rock music as “the devils” music came up with this and when Kiss heard it they simply didn’t deny it thinking it would sell a few more records.

Oh sure their songs about rock and roll lifestyle sex and God’s of Thunder was a bit over the top in the 70’s… Not even close to what these guys are singing about now…  Come on now… Ever heard of the band Slayer?

Hey..Kiss is still rocking around out there.. Can you dig it?
