No. They are the "gods of schlock rock". Kiss went disco and merchandised themselves to the point of insanity. They made fools out of themselves and all their fans. The music was sub-standard at best.

When the definition or a word like "rock" is controlled by the context in which it is used, KISS can at times be "gods of rock". But on that same principle, a different context and a different demographic could surely make Metallic, Slayer or even Rolling Stones the gods of rocks.

That's a hard question.... I think that KISS is okay for the genre that they are in for the era that they were out in, but they are ultimately a Glam Band. They are great performers live, but not the Gods of Rock.

Although they are one of my all time favorite bands, the answer is a definite NO!!! True Gods of Rock would be Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Pink Floyd, and Led Zepplin.

Kiss is good, but I won't say their the Gods of rock. Think of bands like Queen, Mr.Big, Poison, PinkFloyd and a whole other list of greats.

Kiss is one of the worst bands ever. They have no talent. Ask an accomplished rock musician.

Any band with a Disco album is not Rock at all!

KISS wasn't to bad back in the day. They're a group where you like some of the songs but not all of them. I'm more of an Aerosmith type of guy.

According to my co-worker who had one one the band members sign his leg then got it tattooed with a guitar, has Kiss on both arms. He is obsessed!!!
