I remember getting into KISS in the 6th grade, buying the first 4 albums, then buying "The Originals" (wish i still had that one), and actually believing Ace was from another planet and could hover above the ground like it said on his card in "The Originals". I guess KISS was the first band I collected and started off this disease I have. I had every vinyl release all the way up to The Elder when i started giving up on them and listening to heavier stuff and thinking KISS was a bit childish for me by then. I can listen to all that early stuff I grew up and enjoy it again (like I've done recently... sparked by reading Ace's autobiography).I remember my mom being kinda freaked out by KISS and asked me why they were singing "Creature feature in the ladies room" ha ha ha BTW: I've always thought THE ELDER was a great album. -------------------- yawn

Sorry for the off-topic tangent, but I've got to exorcize a MAJOR vinyl regret as mentioned above - Less than 10 years ago, I found a copy of the Soundhouse Tapes 45 for $10 and I passed on it, I thought it was a fake. It wasn't. And it was fucking perfect. FUCK. It eats me up inside and, literally, keeps me awake now and then.Grew up on KISS, wanted to be Ace very badly. Stuck with them up until Vinnie was booted out. With the exception of Asylum which isn't horrible, I don't know any of their non-Ace / non-Vinnie albums at all. Stanley's voice fucking soars. While I hate what he and Chaim did to KISS, there's just no denying the pipes. Happy birthday, legacy-killing shitbag! Sold my beautiful, pristine copy of The Originals for a couple Slayer vinyl boots around '87 some time. Those are now long-gone too, I traded them for some Pink Floyd / Syd Barrett boots that I turned over for a small fortune a few years back. Kiss to Slayer to Floyd to cash, I still have my memories. Oh sweet, tasty vinyl, how I love thee! KISS is now a very authentic KISS tribute band. Saw Ace this past Halloween, my third time since '07, he always fucking rules. Vinyl retentive,

Haha, nice stories... I used to have several kind of special KISS albums like a misprint of Double Platinum, albums with signatures on them gotten directly from KISS when they visited Holland to record I Love it Loud. back in '83. Off course I was there. I also had a big, big part of Paul Stanleys guitar that he smashed in Brussels, also in '83. I developped a bad habit... Gambling.
So it didn't take me long to sell all the goodies and throw it all away.....  Not that I am very sorry, Don't look back too much  But sometimes I see on Ebay the stuff that I used to have. The memories will stay I hope.
If there ad been a possibility to sell those I probably would have done so...  -------------------- trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr ta trrrrr

This thread has been great. Cool stories of memories and losing shit we wish we still had. Paulie 88, I can definitely understand why you'd be upset about passing up the opportunity to get an original Soundhouse Tapes at that kind of a price.
Here's a good way to tell the original from the bootleg version for those illegal copies they really try to make look real. The original had folded tabs that you could see on the back side of the cover, the copies that I've had & seen you can't see the tabs because they are inside the sleeve instead of on the outside. -------------------- yawn
