With their make-up and costumes, the band members took on the personae of comic book-style characters: the Starchild (Stanley), the Demon (Simmons), the Spaceman or Space Ace (Frehley), and the Catman (Criss). Due to creative differences, both Criss and Frehley had departed the group by 1982.
In 1983, Kiss began performing without makeup and costumes, thus marking the beginning of the band's "unmasked" era that would last for over a decade. The band experienced a commercial resurgence during this era, with the Platinum-certified album Lick It Up successfully introducing them to a new generation of fans, and its music videos received regular airplay on MTV. Eric Carr, who had replaced Criss in 1980, died in 1991 of heart cancer and was replaced by Eric Singer. In response to a wave of Kiss nostalgia in the mid-1990s, the original lineup re-united in 1996, which also saw the return of its makeup and stage costumes. The resulting reunion tour was highly successful, grossing $143.7 million, making it the band's most successful tour to date. Criss and Frehley subsequently left the band again, and have been replaced by Singer and Tommy Thayer. The band has continued with its original stage makeup, with Singer and Thayer using the original Catman and Spaceman makeup, respectively. In September 2018, Kiss announced that, after 45 years of recording and performing, it would be embarking on its ongoing final tour, the End of the Road World Tour, which started in January 2019 and concluded in December 2023.
Kiss is regarded as one of the most influential rock bands of all time, as well as one of the best-selling bands of all time, having sold more than 75 million records worldwide, including 21 million RIAA-certified albums. Kiss also holds the title as America's No. 1 Gold record award-winning group of all time, having earned 30 Gold albums. Kiss has 14 Platinum albums, with three albums being multi-Platinum. On April 10, 2014, the four original members of Kiss were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Kiss was ranked by MTV as the ninth "Greatest Metal Band of All Time", and placed tenth on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock" list, as well as being ranked as the third "Best Metal and Hard Rock Live Band of All Time" by Loudwire magazine.

Kiss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a Capricorn and she's a Cancer
She saw my picture in a music magazine
When she met me, said she'd get me
Touched her hips and told me that she'd let me
I took her hand, baby this is what I said
'Cause I just can't wait
Lady, won't you take me down to my knees
You can do what you please
C'mon and love me
I'm a man, I'm no baby
And you're lookin' every inch a lady
You're good lookin' and you're lookin' like you should be good
You were distant, now you're nearer
I can feel your face inside the mirror
The lights are out and I can feel you, baby, with my hand
So baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Lady, won't you take me down to my knees
You can do what you please
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
Baby, baby, don't you hesitate
'Cause I just can't wait
Lady, won't you take me down to my knees
You can do what you please
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
C'mon and love me
Kiss's song "C'mon And Love Me" is about a flirtatious encounter between the lead singer and a woman he meets at one of his shows. The lyrics of the song paint a vivid picture of the moment when the singer meets the woman who catches his eye. He describes her as a "dancer, a romancer" and notes that he is a Capricorn while she is a Cancer, suggesting that these astrological signs might be complementary to one another. The woman has seen a picture of the singer in a music magazine, and when she meets him in person, she is immediately attracted to him.
The singer is confident and self-assured, telling the woman not to hesitate and that he just can't wait to be with her. He describes her as looking "every inch a lady," and notes that she is both good looking and looks like she should be good. As the song progresses, the singer suggests that the woman has become less distant and that he can feel her presence near him. He takes her hand and tells her that he wants her to "take him down to his knees," implying that he wants her to exert control over him in the bedroom.
Overall, the song is an unapologetically sensual and suggestive rock anthem about a brief encounter between two people who are attracted to each other. The lyrics are filled with imagery and metaphor, and the song showcases the band's signature hard rock sound.

Hey hey hey hey yeah
Hey hey hey hey yeah
Hey hey hey hey yeah
Hey hey hey hey yeah
Stand up, you don't have to be afraid
Get down, love is like a hurricane
Street boy, no I never could be tamed
Better believe it
Guilty 'till I'm proven innocent
Whiplash, heavy metal accident
Rock on, I wanna be president
Cause I love it
Loud, I wanna hear it loud
Right between the eyes
Loud, I wanna hear it loud
Don't want no compromise
Turn it up, hungry for the medicine
Two fisted 'till the very end
No more treated like aliens
We're not gonna take it
No lies, no more alibis
Turn it up, got me hypnotized
Rock on, won't be tranquilized
Cause I love it
Loud, I wanna hear it loud
Right between the eyes
Loud, I wanna hear it loud
Don't want no compromise
I love it
Loud, I wanna hear it loud
Right between the eyes
Loud, I wanna hear it loud
Don't want no compromise

Front page roar of the nation's cool
Turn it up, this is my attitude
Take it or leave it
Loud, I wanna hear it loud
Right between the eyes

@leokimvideo
It amazes me how Ace was edited out of the video, certainly confirms all that said in his book
@defshepard
Question for you, what was the title of his book?ย You have got me curious. I might try to getย a hold of it and read it. I grew up with this band in the 70's. Thank-you.ย
@TheFallenMinion
They hated Ace. I had the original cover with Ace. Gene is a major ungrateful asshole.ย
@busquets28
Why wouldn't he be edited out of the video? He didn't play a single note on this song or even the entire album.ย
@TheFallenMinion
james williamsย Well Paul and Gene brought back those 2 horrible people to recapture their 70's glory. And it worked. Once they had it they threw the other 2 out again.. Same shit different day.
@Coldgin94
TheFallenMinionย For Commercial Reasons , Ace Is On This Video , He's Even On The Album's Cover , And He Backed The Band For A Littleย Promotionnal Tour In November-December 1982 . But On The Album , There's A Few Guitar Players ย Like Steve FARRIS Or Vincent CUSANO ( a;k.a Vinnie VINCENT )
