Synopsis
Take a lively look back at the most significant 12-month span in Kiss’s career, 50 years on, joining Paul, Gene, Ace, and Peter as they conquer the world.
1976 suffered no shortage of notable events…Cincinnati’s “Big Red Machine” beat the Yankees in the World Series.
Jimmy Carter beat Gerald Ford at the ballot box.
Rocky lit up the big screen.
Bruce Jenner lit up the Summer Olympics.
And it was all set against the backdrop of the United States Bicentennial.
Kiss stomped into the fray with their platform boots, barnstorming the world and still finding time to record and release two of their all-time bestselling albums.
Formed in 1973, Kiss had already grabbed attention with their outrageous makeup, stage show, and (of course) music.
But in 1976 the band truly took off, unleashing Destroyer and Rock and Roll Over in a span of just eight months and logging more than 100 performances in North America and Europe.
