    Here we go again!

    By NuckingFutz  Oct 30, 2002

    I've reached the point where I'm truly embarrassed for the dudes in Kiss. A year after their boxed set release we have yet another Kiss compilation album crammed down out throats? Let's see, we've got Double Platinum, Smashes, Greatest Kiss, a 5 CD... boxed set, and now this? GIVE US A BREAK!!!! Read more Less

    Why Anthoner Greatest Hits?

    By trueandpuremetalfreak  Sep 29, 2002

    First off, Most of these songs are already released on Double Platinum; Smashes, Thrashes, and Hits; Greatest Kiss; You wanted the best, You got the best; and Killers compilation albums. Second, there are couple of songs unheard such as "Got to Choos...e" and "God gave us Rock N' Roll to you II" which is OK for a new greatest hits. "New York Groove" a song written by Ace Frehley which appeared on his first solo album which is OK since the compilation "The Best of the Solo Albums is out of print. War Machine is the best Kiss anthem besides Rock N' Roll All Nite which should of been on here. Forever, a song from the album "Hot in the Shade which is OK since it was never released on any greatest hits compilation. Third, I think it should of been better by releasing songs that never made it to any greatest hits compilation since most of the same old material are already on other compilation which is pointless. I think Kiss needs to do something better otherwise some people thinks this album make them look like sell out. In my opinion, Kiss are not sell-outs at all. They are way different than Metallica. Metallica are lowlife sellouts. I already have 2 Kiss compilations: Double Platinum and Smashes, Thrashes, and Hits. There's no need to buy another Kiss compilation with the same old material. I think Kiss needs to start releasing another decent album that really kicks ass just like Revenge and Creatures of the Night besides releasing compilation containing the same old material. Otherwise it's great. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Very Best Of Kiss

  • All Music Guide

    Although several other hard rock acts have seen their hits repackaged more times than Kiss (namely the Who, Motörhead, Black Sabbath, etc.), the masked quartet certainly isn't far behind, as 2002 saw the group's latest in a long line of collections, The Very Best of Kiss. Despite recycling many of the same selections over and over on these sets (1978's Double Platinum, 1988's Smashes, Thrashes Hits, 1997's Greatest Kiss, etc.), fans will flock to the stores to buy any piece of Kiss merchandise to complete their collections, hence the arrival of another of hits. While The Very Best of Kiss does contain a smattering of songs to make their debut on a hits collection (the live version of "Rock and Roll All Nite," "Got to Choose," "I Stole Your Love," "New York Groove," and a few non-makeup-era tracks), the majority of the track listing is comprised of songs already included on the aforementioned previous titles. Instead of finally doing it right and issuing a double-disc set that spans th...eir career (à la the Who's 2002 anthology, The Ultimate Collection), there are too many hits and standout tracks that get skipped over by limiting it to a single disc. For newcomers to the band who want to get a brief overview of Kiss, The Very Best of Kiss is adequate, but certainly not the definitive collection. - Greg Prato, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Kiss

Rooted in the campy theatrics of Alice Cooper and the sleazy hard rock of glam rockers the New York Dolls, Kiss became a favorite of American teenagers in the '70s. Most kids were infatuated with the look of Kiss, not their music. Decked out in outrageously flamboyant costumes and makeup, the band fashioned a captivating stage show featuring dry ice, smoke bombs, elabor... Read more
