Back in the late 1970s I heard a story about someone either TV News photographer or maybe a fan actually had on film KISS without their makeup. The story goes on to say that when Gene Simmons ( or Ace or Paul or Peter, depending on who tells the story ) saw that someone was filming them without the make-up, he smashed the camera, busted the guy in the mouth and someone from KISS licked up the blood.
The things kids heard at school back in the 70s.
