  1. Kiss Celebrates 40th Anniversary

    <span style=&quot;font-size: small;">Kiss have marked their 40th anniversary by thanking fans for their support through the decades &ndash; and frontman Paul Stanley has admitted he only wanted five years of success from the band. They played their first-ever show on January 30, 1973, in a New York club, after Stanley and Gene Simmons decided to move on from previous band Wicked Lester. They were paid $50 for the appearance in front of an audience of less than 10 people. The bassist says: &ldquo;Wicked Lester had just finished its album. Though we had a real recording contract with a major label, and though we had finished an entire album, we were depressed &ndash; it just wasn&rsquo;t what we had envisioned. &ldquo;We tried firing the other three guys but some wouldn&rsquo;t leave. So we quit. We started again with a vision: &lsquo;Let&rsquo;s put together the band we never saw on stage.&rdquo; He recalls their first manager, on hearing the &ldquo;newborn baby&rdquo; that was Kiss, though it was &ldquo;the worst crap he had ever heard.&rdquo; That left the band without representation; so Simmons created a press kit while Stanley had promotional material printed by a friend. &ldquo;I made a phone call, cold, to a place called Popcorn in Queens, New York,&rdquo; the bassist says. &ldquo;We got the gig: three nights, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, for the sum of $150. That was the beginning.&rdquo;</span>
