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 Criss and Frehley subsequently left the band again, and have been replaced by Singer and Tommy Thayer.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.

Danger
Kiss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ready to go, soon as the daylight is fadin'
In the night my heart is beating
Out of control, can't stop the way that I'm feeling
I want to know how far to go, takin' my life in my hands
Out on my own, fighting alone, call me the desperate man
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me nothing to stand in my way, I'll make the best of my days
In the night, oh, I can feel it
Time slips away, if I can't pay I will steal it
In the night I will be screamin'
Hour by hour livin' the life that I'm dreamin'
Under the gun, I'll be the one, walking the edge of the knife
Taking the best, leaving the rest, I'm gonna run for my life
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me measures of pleasure and pain, boiling the blood in my veins
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me nothing to stand in my way, I'll make the best of my days
I want to know how far to go, takin' my life in my hands
Out on my own, fighting alone, call me the desperate man
Danger, danger, give me danger, danger
Give me fires that endlessly burn, I've passed the point of return
Danger, danger, danger, danger, danger, danger
The lyrics to Kiss's song "Danger" portray the inner turmoil and desire for thrill and excitement that the singer experiences during the night. In the first verse, the singer describes his readiness to embark on a dangerous journey as soon as the daylight fades away. His heart is beating uncontrollably as he feels out of control, unable to restrain the intense feelings he is experiencing. He is willing to take risks and "take his life in his hands" to experience the high that danger brings. He is a "desperate man," fighting alone, determined to push the boundaries and live life on his own terms.
In the second verse, the singer describes his willingness to do anything to fulfill his desires, even if it means stealing. He is screaming and living hour by hour, lost in a dream-like state, driven by his desire for danger. He is constantly walking on the edge of the knife, taking the best and leaving the rest behind, because he knows he must run for his life.
The chorus emphasizes the desire for danger and the thrill that it brings. The singer longs for measures of pleasure and pain, boiling the blood in his veins.
