Kiss has sold over 100 million albums worldwide, making them one of the best-selling bands of all time. Their music is characterized by catchy hooks, heavy guitar riffs, and anthemic choruses. Some of their most popular songs include "Rock and Roll All Nite", "I Was Made for Lovin' You", "Detroit Rock City", and "Shout It Out Loud".
The band's iconic makeup and costumes have been a major part of their success. Each member has their own unique persona: Stanley is the "Starchild", Simmons is the "Demon", Frehley is the "Space Ace", and Criss was originally the "Catman" (later replaced by Eric Singer as the "Makeup-less Catman"). The band's makeup has been cited as an influence on many other artists, including Alice Cooper, Marilyn Manson, and Rob Zombie.
Kiss has had a number of different lineups over the years, but the most successful is arguably the original lineup of Stanley, Simmons, Frehley, and Criss. This lineup recorded the band's most popular albums and toured extensively throughout the 1970s.
The band has had a number of ups and downs over the years, but they are still considered one of the most important and influential bands in rock history. They continue to tour and record music today, and their fanbase, known as the "Kiss Army", is one of the most dedicated in the world.
