Well, as a huge KISS fan myself, I can't think of any bands particularly like them. However there was a KISS tribute alblum put out about 8 years ago with lots of different bands singing KISS songs with a different twist.

BTW, it seems like you want to protect your daugter from bad lyrics... well KISS has tons of bad stuff in it, just nicely disguised!

Christine 16... a story about an adult man lusting after a 16 year old girl.

Well, that is the famous one, but lots of the elsser known stuff has double entendres.

Give it a listen if you are concerned.

BTW, my buddy has the THE BEST souveineir you could ever hope to get from KISS. Gene Simmons wiped his face on a towel and threw it into the crowd and he got it. His make-up is on the towel, and you can pretty clearly see the face of Gene Simmons in it! Cool!

Their music is a little less hard and a little more glam, but how about Sweet? They did "Ballroom Blitz", "Fox on the Run", "Love is Like Oxygen", etc. I am wanting to get their greatest hits. There is also Slade, T. Rex, Mott the Hoople, Alice Cooper, etc. And then there are tons of '80s hard rock bands who had big hair, etc. Poison comes to mind. To your daughter their music would be considered "classic rock" .

ETA: I'm not really a big KISS fan, so my apologies to all you KISS fans who may be appalled at my list of KISS-like bands. I am just trying to think of some music that "mom" might enjoy.

Perhaps you should give her some Petra or Stryper albums instead.

wow what a cool kid. Do you mind the content of the lyrics. I mean that isnt much in the way of rock/metal music that doesnt involve the cuss words today. My new age favorites- Velvet Revolver, The Darkness, and The Wildhearts. I am in no way comparing them to KISS, these are just the rock bands that i personally like. Questions? you can PM me.

I'd have to side with Papa Duece and say that there just isn't anyone out there that quite "sounds like" Kiss. Plus, you have to figure in that Kiss has undergone SOOOO many changes to their sound through the years, from the original stuff through the glam 80's and back into make-up for things like "Psycho Circus".

The tribute album Papa mentioned (Called "Kiss my ***" by the way) is ok. I only really like Garth Brooks singing "Hard Luck Woman", but then he stays closer to the original than the rest of the guys do.

First off thanks so much for some Ideas..

And what I ment to say as far as Lyrics and such.. My Daughter is Autistic, So her getting some of the deeper meaning of songs really isnt a worry to me at all.. I meant more of the Cussing, and very graphic (Heavy Metal) and such lyrics..She loves to look up Facts about them, Write them Fan Mail (which usually is small pictures of them and a herself included.. She things KISS should Go on American Idol because they would win..
She adores Gene Simmions and wants to Marry him.. She doesnt have any concept that they are a Band and (not really like that) She also thinks Cartoons are real too..

So any Music with great beats and such is I guess what Im looking for, I never got into "Classic Rock, So I dont want to pick up a CD with lots of Ballad songs, and Cussing etc....

Thanks again for any help!!

Not comparing these to KISS but
How about Bruce Springsteens early albums

'Greetings From Asbury Park' and
"The Wild the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle"

I loved KISS and then I became a huge Springsteen fan.....

 

[stevenpensacola]

...if you know another Band that has similar music to KISS.....

music??

 

[mikess]

There is NO other band that can touch KISS...............can ya tell I'm a KISS fan.........lol .............

My 7 year old son also loves KISS.........He loves wearing my KISS concert shirts to sleep in. I think I was 7 myself when a became a fan.

I'm also a Parrothead and my kids are little Keets.

I hope to take them to see both Jimmy and KISS one day.............

An alternate band that compares with Kiss?!...THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE! Try a different album...there are atleast 23 albums not including comp. albums!

 

[capnblackbeard]

David Bowie she might like since to me he is the epitomy of glamour rock.

 

[Tiggeroo]

ACDC might be a good choice, again you'll want to watch some of the songs. Also VanHalen, Maybe try some classic rock like Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis. They have the attitude she might like, esp. Elvis.

Kiss is uncomparable for sound.
However, I can think of others in the catagory. I guess if you can find these at Walmart, the lyrics should be as bad. I think Walmart only sells the censored versions.

Try bands like Motley Crue, Poison, Ratt, AC/DC. Alice Cooper, Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Guns N' Roses, Iron Maiden, Van Halen, Great White, Whitesnake, Twisted Sister, Judas Priest...........again, use your parental judgement. Also remember at that age, most of the inuendos go way over their heads.

I can remember quite a few "adult oriented" songs that I loved at that age. Only it wasn't until quite a few years later when I started making the connection between what was really said & what was meant. I know there were times I was even singing the WRONG words. My parents never bothered to correct me & we were all happy. LOL!

Couldn't you just see them on tour together?
