I don't understand why AC/DC is considered some super serious rock band while KISS is considered dumb kiddie rock. I do understand KISS catered to kids with their comic books, toys, merch, shitty TV movie, etc...but musically, I think they're pretty much on the same level. KISS was a little more adventurous, for better or for worse, but otherwise they were both simple rock bands.

KISS was a little more adventurous, for better or for worse, but otherwise they were both simple rock bands. You don't get Zeppelin either.  Sure both bands are basic, but AC/DC's music has been the soundtrack to people's lives unlike KISS and KISS hasn't made albums as good as Highway To Hell or Back In Black, which are considered among the greatest albums of all time. Perhaps if KISS worked with Mutt Lange too - they could have achieved something great, but every KISS album is cheap, fast and lot of filler. Even if I still love them anyway. I know that going in with KISS. Even if both are basic bands, AC/DC works on an entirely higher level than KISS. |

Okay, KISS is all filler but then AC/DC is all the same song...they were granddaddy Nickelback.
KISS probably woulda benefitted by working with bigger name producers, though.

I concede that KISS were more diverse so more interesting in that regard - assuming one likes the trend chasing they did, but AC/DC for better or worse gives the fans and general public exactly what they want - blues based hard rock. ZZ Top does the same. When I do listen to a new AC/DC album or a bunch of older ones, it is what I want to hear from them. Not ballads and pop songs. |
