Who’s the dude with the ‘stache?
Gene’s mother looking annoyed at the dragon boot on her purse
Interesting how every son is taller than their Dad.
…and one rando. Who dat?
Also, I saw them on this tour at the Spectrum in Philadelphia. They were great!
These parents are most likely in their 50s, but they look OLD!!!
This photo is supercool!
I may be wrong but I think it’s the only band who took a picture with their parents!
My dad worked security for them when they’d come through Chicago. Being a little kid, my grandma gave me a double live cassette of KISS, so of course they were instantly my favorite band, although a little scary due to the makeup. My dad told me, they’re smart Jewish businessmen that play music.
Reminds me of how Marilyn Mansons parents used to go to early Spooky Kids shows to do Merch. Nothng shocking to them about their nerdy son.
You’d think the parents would be disgusted with their long haired devil worshipping loud rock and roll playing kids but them new houses and cars say different
Edit: Btw I’m not dissing on them. In fact I grew up on KISS, Detroit Rock City changed my young life, can play pretty much all of Destroyer on guitar, was in KISS Army. I love KISS
Why is Edgar Allen Poe in there?
That same year, my public school teacher wrote KISS on the board and explained it was code for Knights In Satan’s Service. Guess she never saw this picture.
Those must be some proud parents, I would be so happy if my future kids headlined at MSG

Peter’s dad was G. Gordon Liddy?
Mr. Witz has the disapproving look on his face.
Realising how long ago 1977 was, and that the members of Kiss are now older than their parents were in this picture. Damn.
Ace looks so much like his mom and pop!
Kiss is decidedly uncool.
Yes totally devil worshippers
Gene’s mother, Flora Klein is the real MVP. She survived the concentration camps and immigrated to America – supporting her son all the way and teaching him and encouraging him. She was one of my favorite people of all time. May her memory be a blessing. There was a great scene on their show Family Jewels – Flora was tiny – under 5 feet and probably 90 pounds. She could put her arrogant rock star son in his place so fast. It was so fun to watch!
This so freaking wholesome!
Which Farewell Tour was this?
Yeah, Gene’s parents aren’t in the pic. That’s Bill Aucoin’s mom and dad.
Gene’s dad fucked off out of the picture long before, and Gene’s mom is surprisingly absent because there are plenty of pictures of her with him in full make-up in the 70s. She was a tiny, black-haired woman who was barely in her 50s at the time.
Ace’s mom looks just like him ( or visa versa) lol
This is tru old school cool.
Am I missing something or is there one too many suits?
