KiSS Music Box Biographical Collection DVD

Say what you want about KISS, and people have said everything, but no band in hard rock history understood spectacle as a survival mechanism quite like they did. The makeup wasn't a gimmick. It was armour.

This Music Box Biographical Collection traces the rise of four New York misfits who turned Alice Cooper's theatrical blueprint into a full-blown merchandise empire and somehow made heavy rock safe for arena crowds while keeping it completely ridiculous in the best possible way. The KISS Army was punk attitude dressed in platform boots and face paint, and this documentary gets into the machinery behind the monster. If you've ever stood in front of a mirror with a marker pen, this one's for you.

DVD, unofficial release, contains no original music by the artist. Released 2006, USA origin. Genre: Hard Rock / Heavy Metal.
