In the clip below, KISS legends Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley answer five questions posed by USA Today:

Dave Epstein at Rolling Stone takes a look at the original KISS line-up's individual memories of various eras and events in the band's career, citing Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss' respective autobiographies. An excerpt is available below:

Designing The KISS Logo

Gene Simmons: "I remember very clearly when our picture went up on the outside of the club [the band was playing], Ace took a marker and wrote our new name right on the picture. The way he drew it was pretty crude, but it resembled our logo, with the two S's like lightning bolts at the end of the word."

Recording Alive!

Paul Stanley: "Yes, we enhanced it. Not to hide anything, not to fool anyone. But who wanted to hear a mistake repeated endlessly? Who wanted to hear an out-of-tune guitar? For what? Authenticity?"

KISS Goes Disco

Peter Criss: "The cruelest blow of all was Paul’s attempt to write a contemporary hit for Dynasty. He came up with 'I Was Made for Lovin' You,' KISS' first out-and-out disco track. What little credibility we had left was flushed down the toilet when we did that."

Peter Criss Leaves The Band

Ace Frehley: "I wanted to give Criss another chance, but my hands were tied. I was outvoted, and the decision was made to move forward without him, so I accepted the decision reluctantly."
