Kiss was the band that got me into music on a serious level.From the first time I laid eyes on the Kiss Alive! record cover, I was hooked and I couldn’t get enough of the visuals.
Kiss has had a few different eras so this second volume focuses on a part of their career that was successful but not quite the heights achieved back in their heyday.
This is the last of the Kissology series even though there was a Volume 4 rumored that has not materialized yet.This one covers a few eras, which makes it a weird one that is still very enjoyable.

I reviewed the song “Calling Dr. Love” on the review of the Kiss Klassics disc of Sonic Boom, so, for the sake of consistency, I’ll adapt that review for use here.
Kiss have released so many concert videos that you have to be a true aficionado of the group to really get a handle on what you may have and what is a new.
I have been a Kiss fan since 1975, but at the time I was too young to go to concerts to see the band.Instead, I had to enjoy the group through pictures and the occasional TV appearance.
