On this day in KISSTORY - September 10, 1975 - KISS ALIVE! was released. This double live album, recorded largely in Detroit's Cobo Arena (with some material from Iowa, New Jersey and Ohio), marked the pivotal giant step towards achieving domination in the 70's.

The multi-platinum album peaked at #9, and spent 110 weeks on the album charts.

"We wanted to put out a souvenir, almost like when you go to the circus," said Paul Stanley. "I really enjoy myself onstage, prancing around, shaking my ass, shaking my head, playing the guitar between my legs. I enjoy it as much as the audience. Basically, I am entertaining myself up there."

In a recent interview, Gene Simmons not only quickly identified Kiss' worst studio album but also took full blame for its creation.

His choice, 1981's Music From 'The Elder,' will come as little surprise to the band's fans. Originally intended as a back-to-basics hard rock album that would undo the fan base damage caused by the disco and pop flirtations of 1979's Dynasty and 1980's Unmasked, The Elder instead transformed into an extremely ill-fated attempt at earning critical acclaim with a high-minded, medieval times-themed concept album.

"I take the blame for it, because it was my idea," Simmons told Classic Rock. "I remember telling [producer] Bob Ezrin that I was writing a movie script, we were making a concept album based on that, and he said: “Let’s do our own Tommy!” I said: 'Yeah. If the Who can do it, why can’t we?' Well, the straight answer is because we’re not the Who! There are some fans who love that record. To me it was dishonest."
