In October 1975, KISS visited a small northern Michigan community where the high school football team had credited the rock band’s music for its success on the field the previous year. Now residents in Cadillac are giving something back to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Famers known for wearing makeup that masks its members’ faces: a black granite monument celebrating the 40th anniversary of the visit.

The Cadillac News and WWTV reported that the monument was unveiled Saturday, although members of the band weren’t able to attend. A tribute band performed some KISS hits as part of the event.

The monument reads in part: “The renowned bond between Cadillac and KISS endures to this day.”

It also says the event on October 9th, 1975, “attained worldwide acclaim as one of the most iconic stories in rock and roll lore.”

“On that day, KISS came to Cadillac, and a legend was created,” the monument says.
