In the technical world of music categorization, we ask: is it appropriate to call KISS a glam band? Or are they more heavy metal? We call them “Satanic glam rock,” but check out our latest photo gallery of their Monday night performance at Philips Arena, part of the KISS: Alive 35 Tour, to decide for yourself.

In September long-time KISS guitarist and vocalist Paul Stanley will present two free exhibitions of his paintings at two different Wentworth Gallery locations in Phipps Plaza (Fri., Sept. 19) and at The Perimeter Mall (Sat., Sept. 20).
According to a recent press release, “Stanley creates portraits and abstracts that are emotionally charged compositions. He aims to maximize the direct, physical impact of his paintings through scale, texture, color and simplicity of images.”
Yeah right. It’s hard to believe that the man who once fronted KISS, the guy who personally delivered shock metal to suburban American homes in the ’70s, and made religious zealots and parents groups wet themselves in fear is now churning out paintings such as these two um… lovely pieces, respectively titled Peace and All You Need Is Love (to see the images click “read the rest of this entry”). Really, these two paintings kind of speaks for themselves, but there are plenty of other images of stars and the statue of liberty over at Mr. Stanley’s website.
Wentworth Gallery’s site makes the bold claim that “One sees in Paul’s abstracts the influences of Kandinsky, Mondrian, Malevich, Paul Klee and Mark Rothko.”
Really where?
Knights In Satan’s Service this is not…
