Talk:Kiss discography

message: Am I the only one that thinks sorting it by band members, and not chronologically, makes it very confusing? Chronologically would be much better, IMO. Which band members there was can also be there, but it has to be chronological, IMO. /Hugoflug 21:29, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  I don't see the reason for ordering it like that.  Straight chronology would be much better, of course with each album accompanied by some notation as to who appears on it. Ferdinand Cesarano 20:31, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

text: to Cholmes -- The discography is divided by lineup, and then by order of release date only within that sub-heading.  For instance, the Gene/Paul/Ace/Peter set of releases comes first, followed by the Gene/Paul/Ace/Eric C. set.  So, Psycho Circus (1998) with Criss is listed before Music From (The Elder) (1981) with Carr.  There is no reason for this.  Ferdinand Cesarano 18:28, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

text: to Lord Revan -- Sorry about the "all talk no action".  When time allows, I will try to get on this. Ferdinand Cesarano 18:28, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

message: This title should not have quote marks around the words The Elder.  The album's title is (Music from) The Elder; the never-made movie would have been called The Elder.  The title of a movie or an album ought to be shown in italics, not in quotes. Ferdinand Cesarano 20:31, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

message: In the VHS video KISS EXTREME: CLOSE UP, both Paul and Gene state that the solo albums have the Kiss logo on them to represent unity since they were going through a tough time back then. Peter and Ace had threatened to quit the band, so in order to keep them in the band, Gene and Paul suggested they all do solo albums, put the Kiss logo in the corner, and dedicate them all to each other. Cover art does not determine whether it is a solo album or not. The credits do. The members of Kiss did not work together in any way at all musically ont hese albums. The logo is more to say "Gene Simmons OF KISS" as opposed to a KISS album named "Gene Simmons." The band members have confirmed this may times. "The Best of Solo Albums," released in 1978 but discontinued, was released as a Kiss album, not the individual solo projects. Also, Gene mentions in A&E Biography that "Asshole" is is first SOLO album since 1978.
*If they are not KISS albums, someone better mention it to KISS, since they are listed as such on their website.  They are also listed as KISS albums on allmusic.com.  And according to the rather comprehensive book The Kiss Album Focus, the albums all counted against KISS's contract with Casablanca Records.  Therefore, I will again revert the edits made to all the appropriate pages.  In the future, I ask that you bring things like this up BEFORE making changes.  --cholmes75 16:08, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Concluded by whom? This topic of discussion has been dead for a year and a half. The solo albums were just that, solo albums that members of the band did as a side project. They all made solo albums, and the fact that all of them were members of a well known group doesn't automatically make those projects were connected to the band. Other members of well known bands have done solo projects on the side without any connection to group projects, like Keith Richards and Mick Jagger for example. Also, none of the solo albums aren't listed as part of the KISS RIAA certifications in the RIAA database. I know that Simmons' and Criss' solo efforts were at least certified Platinum, and they're listed seperately from the group's RIAA certifications. The solo albums done by members of KISS are just that, solo albums that were not connected to the group KISS.Odin's Beard (talk) 22:22, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Since the live albums were so commercially important, they're a useful way to track the band's commercial success. It'd nice to see it as one piece. Not many bands had live albums so successful in comparison to their studio efforts. (The Elfoid (talk) 00:28, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I use this page often for a "Today in History" list that I use in my classroom.  I see that it now comes up that it is in need for "clean up".  I don't really see why.  I have checked all the realease dates, they are accurate.  What needs cleaned up?  I may add album producers when I have time if there is no objections. user3locbox  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 3locbox (talk • contribs) 17:56, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I think the albums should just be listed, maybe with release dates and other important information. There's really no need to have the track listing on this page, since all of the albums have their own articles. Another possibility would be to make a table, like with the singles? 85.76.253.210 (talk) 20:40, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Looks kind of messy 

message: I've removed a number of innaccurate RIAA certifications from the article. And yes, I know that some are going to say that they were taken from the Kiss website. The problem with that is that some artists have been known to inflate sales and certification figures and that's the case with several albums on the band's website. I've listed the album certification from the RIAA gold and platinum database. There isn't going to be a more reliable source on RIAA certifications than the RIAA itself.Odin's Beard (talk) 23:20, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I was looking through the singles and I know those charts positions are inaccurate.  Psycho Cirus is their only single that ever reached #1, but the page claims that like 7 made it to #1 which I know is inaccurate.--Comeondontshootme (talk) 14:48, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I had this page book marked and used it for the precise release dates, now it is all messed up with only the the year for a release date.  Now I have to find a different web page with that info.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 3locbox (talk • contribs) 14:14, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I would also like to say thanks - thanks to all the people who screwed this discography up. Removing the wiki, adding unsourced 'facts' and adding pointless material. You must realize when you add a piece of crap edit to an article, someone else will at some point have to fix it up, revise if it is actually true and go through sources. You remove the wiki, example: Album italics, and someone else has to fix it up. There is too many people that come here with no consideration for the rest of us, make blind edits, things become far worse than they already are. People have to stop demanding their own little piece of crappy information is added. Close rant. k-i-a-c (hitmeup - the past) 10:03, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm sorry, but this kind of garbage does not belong.  Yes, it has been reported KISS will release a new album in 2011.  Whether or not it happens is anyone's guess, but the album certainly has not been named yet, and would NEVER be called something as asinine as Tommy Thayer's Left Nut.
