"Whether somebody gets it or not, or thinks we're great musicians or not, or likes our songs or not - it doesn't matter. We're gonna win. It's like food critics who talk about how wonderful caviar is, while the rest of us want hamburgers. Give me a Whopper." - Gene Simmons

I forget by whom the song is sung, but there's a song and it has a line, "Don't try to describe a KISS show if you've never been to one," or something to that effect. Well, I've been to several and here's my shot at it. No matter how graphic or detailed my accounts might be, I reccommend seeing a KISS show if you are curious. KISS concerts not only attack your ears, they attack all of the senses. From the smell of the greasepaint to the heat of the pyro to the sight of the stage theatrics to the taste of magic in the air to the ringing of the guitars, it all makes a statement: You Cannot Ignore Me No Matter How You Try. That is the essence of KISS.
