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 Criss and Frehley subsequently left the band again, and have been replaced by Singer and Tommy Thayer.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 ↴
Hot blood, need your love, hard as rock, can't get enough
Wanna feel you deep inside, pumpin' through my veins, fill you to the core
Let me take you through the night, heaven knows no pain, open up the door
Gimme more, ooh gimme more, baby gimme more, ooh
Like a dog to a bone, make you sweat, make you moan
Love is sweet, so insane, come on lick my candy cane
Livin', lovin', feel the heat, never to be tamed, born to play with fire
Gimme more, ooh gimme more, baby gimme more, ooh, yeah yeah
Ah, listen - touch my body, take it slow, c'mon make my juices flow
Feelin' good, any price, ooh nothin' I won't sacrifice
Got a thirst for playin' rough, I can't get my fill, never keepin' score
C'mon baby, let me in, gonna break your will, open up the door
Gimme more, ooh gimme more, baby gimme more, ooh, I want you
C'mon and gimme, gimme more, gimme, gimme more, gimme, gimme, ooh

The chorus repeats the command for more, creating a sense of urgency and intensity.
The second verse continues the theme of physical pleasure, describing the intense passion that burns in the singer's brain. The reference to being a "slave to love's desire" suggests that the singer is powerless to resist the temptation and that it is an all-consuming force.

The final lines of the verse suggest that the singer is not satisfied and wants to continue playing with fire.
