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 Criss and Frehley subsequently left the band again, and have been replaced by Singer and Tommy Thayer.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 ↴
You were good lookin'
You know I was your biggest fan
You tried to teach me things I already knew
When you couldn't reach me
Girl, I think you knew that we were through
Baby, it's over
Save your love, save it, save it
Save your love, I don't want it (save your love)
Save it for someone else (save it, save it)
Save your love, I don't need it (save your love)
Put it back on the shelf
For somebody else
You said you love me, you may have been right
But hangin' above me, girl,
You know that we would fight
You tried to change me and mess up my mind
Now, don't rearrange me
And girl, you know that's why you're left behind
It's over now
Save your love, save it, save it
Save your love, save it, save it
Save your love, I don't want it (save your love)
Save it for someone else (save it, save it)
Save your love, I don't need it (save your love)
Put it back on the shelf
For somebody else
Girl, you know it's over
We had some good times
But now they're gone, so long
Save your love, save it, save it
Save your love, save it, save it
Save your love, I don't want it (save your love)
Save it for someone else (save it, save it)
Save your love, I don't need it (save your love)
Put it back on the shelf
For somebody else
Save your love, I don't want it (save your love)
Save it for someone else (save it, save it)
