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 Criss and Frehley subsequently left the band again, and have been replaced by Singer and Tommy Thayer.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 got a man-sized predicament
And it's a big one, goes like this, yeah'
My my, ow, yeah!
Never had confession, never had a home
Never had no worry, until I met Domino
Ain't the virgin Mary, love her I confess
'cause she kisses like the kiss of death
Loves lots of money, back's against the wall
Calls me 'Sugar Daddy',
she knows she's got me by the balls
They call her Domino - 'so fine'
Got a reputation, haven't got a hope
It's a sticky situation,
if she ain't old enough to vote
Loves to play with fire, loves to hurt so good
Loves to keep me burnin',
'cause she's a bad habit, bad habit
Bad habit that's good, good, good
They call her Domino, Domino, Domino
[Instrumental break]
'Every damn time I walk through that door,
it's the same damn thing
That bitch bends over, and I forget my name - ow!'
Loves lots of money, back's against the wall
Calls me 'Sugar Daddy',
he knows she's got me by the balls - ow!
Loves to play with fire, love her I confess
Got no hesitations, cause she's a bad habit,
bad habit, she's a bad habit!
'Yeah'

20 years later and it still kicks ass....Revenge is their best album ever
Gary Blanchard
Good tour as well; the last show of theirs I saw
Tricia Sims
Hot In The Shade from '89 album
fui plu
Agreed 👍
Gustavo Domingos
Creatures of the night and revenge*
Just A Man Living Life
I wish Kiss had redone their 70s songs like this. The tunes lyrics are on it but the speed for most wasn't fast and energetic. Detroit Rock City and I wanna rock and roll all night were amongst the best. Being a rock band known for a pop song Beth and disco's I was made for loving you isn't a good sign.

Greatest KISS formation besides the Original!! Bruce Kulick did an incredible Job in the Band and gave them all the musical improvement and projection they needed, KISS was very solid in the 90's and sounded awesome in their non-make up Era thanks to Eric and mainly Bruce
TheLeroyMoon
I bought "Revenge" the week it was released and listened to nothing but that album for four months. It's still my favorite tour from the band - Paul's live charisma was unsurpassed, and the band was really confident in themselves as a rock band. However, don't be too quick to sell short the "Creatures" through "Asylum" part of that era. Those albums are equally impressive, as are the very uncharacteristic and underrated "Carnival of Souls" and their latest, "Sonic Boom."
Tricia Sims
Had it on cassette brand new too AND the album before this one 89s Hot In The Shade
Phard11
Underrated song....should have gotten more attention!
