KISS

Yeah!!!

The rock-group KISS gets on my 25 best rock songs of the '00s with their smash hit "Modern Day Delilah".

"KISS performs 'Modern Day Delilah' on The Late Show" is a video on YouTube posted by OfficialKISSOnline. I am posting the link for educational purposes for those who want to learn how to rock out or simply have fun as a lover of rock music. I'm linking to other websites as well, so my readers can help find out more about bands, musicians and their songs.

Rock music is supposed to be fun! KISS is one of the bands bringing fun back to rock music.

Even though Ace Frehley and Peter Criss are not in the band now, KISS is still great with their founding (original) band members, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. Personally, I always liked Ace's lead guitar-playing with KISS -- and he was so cool!! However, after viewing the video, I could tell that Tommy Thayer also is great as the lead guitarist of KISS and it's what pushed the song "Modern Day Delilah" on to my 25 Best Rock songs of the decade.

Stanley is still a great singer and better than most of today's rock singers. And, of course, he looks great for rock star-- of any age!! That's a compliment and he deserves it. KISS has made a successful comeback, in my opinion, even if the definition of "comeback" has to be stretched slightly because not all the original members are in the band. Well, if you think about it, there are lots of bands that don't have all their original members, so it doesn't matter.

What matters is, does the song sound good and really rock?! Yes and Yes, regarding KISS' "Modern Day Delilah", a smash hit from the new CD "Sonic Boom". I plan to buy it ASAP!
