KISS was a 1970's Hard Rock group formed in New York in 1972, usually noted for their use of makeup on the face. KISS' original lineup was Paul Stanley on rythem guitar and lead vocals, Gene Simmons on bass and lead vocals, Ace Frehely on lead guitar and vocals and Peter Criss on drums and vocals. In 1980, Criss left KISS for a solo career and was replaced by Eric Carr who was then replaced by Eric Singer in 1991 due to the fact Carr had died of Cancer at age 41. In 1983, Frehely left KISS for his own career and band, Frehely's Comet. He was replaced by Vinnie Vincent, who was fired and replaced by Mark St. John in '84, who had to quit because he had developed arteritis in his hands. Bruce Kulick then replaced him and left after the original lineup had reunited. Bruce was then replaced by Tommy Thayer. KISS had a string of hits in the 70's through the 90's. KISS has been refenced to a few times in the Homestar Runner Universe.
