Unmasked

Kiss tried to put on a brave face as internal and external pressures mounted.

"Talk to Me" was band's second single to feature guitarist Ace Frehley on vocals.

Like, what if they never took off their makeup?

The June 1980 kicked off a sensation known as "Kissteria," even as the group's commercial standing sank in the United States.

It was a passing of the torch, in some respects, from one generation of hard-rock warriors to the next.

To their loyal fans' horror, the band went even deeper into the pop world for their eighth studio album.
