April 26,1976

Destroyer Tour

Maple Leaf Gardens - Toronto, Ontario, Canada

“The dry, acrid smell of sulphur filled Maple Leaf Gardens last night as sparklers, torches and almost anything else that would burn were hurled at KIϟϟ, the band on stage. This wasn’t an act of hostility on the part of the nearly 10,000 people in the audience, one of the largest crowds ever to fill the Garden’s concert-bowl set-up. It was just in the swing of things. From the moment KIϟϟ started they began blasting back at the crowd. It became an unfair fight, though. The band’s arsenal included just about every noise-making and flame-throwing device this side of Cape Kennedy… It would all have seemed simply silly, if not downright stupid, hand not so many chanting, fist-waving fans taken it so frighteningly seriously” (Toronto Star, 4/27/76).

Making me think things I shouldn’t again

Vinnie’s face just says it all and my mind instantly went somewhere else seeing him sandwiched between these 2

Also the fact that he’s looking down completes my claim

Thank you for coming to my ted talk of the day

April 28, 1977

Love Gun Photo Sessions

Barry Levine’s Studio - Los Angeles, California

📸 Barry Levine

"We experimented a lot with everything. That’s how the series with the wildly multicolored, shimmering mylar background happened. It was 1977 and we had to do a Love Gun promotional shoot. I set it up in my studio and I wanted to get a series with different colors in the background because we had been using a lot of blacks and greys up to that point. I got these colored mylar sheets and reflected some plain white light from them, sometimes adding just a little bit of blue gel to the mix. I pulled the light a little out of focus because the patterns on the sheets were very odd, and I wanted to get really vibrant colors and images from the mylar. These shots appeared on magazines and newspapers all over the place. Some mylar shots, as well as other images I photographed, were included on the cover of KIϟϟ’ World Tour 77-78 program. If you look really carefully, you can tell that those same shots were the photo models for the gatefold etchings inside Double Platinum, as well as the solo album covers, although we didn’t have either of those projects in mind when we decided to shoot that day

Although I had shot many bands before KIϟϟ, I knew the second they stepped into my studio, they were in a class by themselves. Techniques that worked with other bands, didn’t fly with KISS. And the difference in style between individual members was vast. I quickly became familiar with their distinct personalities and became adept at pulling certain traits out of each of them as needed. When they’re onstage, they simply metamorphosize into their unique band personas, but in the studio, it was up to me to pull a Demon, a Spaceman, a Lover and a Cat out of the four guys who showed up. They all knew how to capture their onstage personas, but sometimes I had to go the extra mile to get just the right facial expression or stance.” - Barry Levine

KIϟϟ’ new costumes (Love Gun) were constructed by Maria Contessa and Laurie Greenan, and the band traveled with three of each of the outfits while on tour. Gene and Ace used slightly altered versions of the original design for touring purposes. The total cost for the new production, including the new stage, costumes and instruments, was $194,910, although the show was hyped as a million-dollar production in most markets.
