In a recent interview, Gene Simmons not only quickly identified Kiss' worst studio album but also took full blame for its creation.

His choice, 1981's Music From 'The Elder,' will come as little surprise to the band's fans. Originally intended as a back-to-basics hard rock album that would undo the fan base damage caused by the disco and pop flirtations of 1979's Dynasty and 1980's Unmasked, The Elder instead transformed into an extremely ill-fated attempt at earning critical acclaim with a high-minded, medieval times-themed concept album.

"I take the blame for it, because it was my idea," Simmons told Classic Rock. "I remember telling [producer] Bob Ezrin that I was writing a movie script, we were making a concept album based on that, and he said: “Let’s do our own Tommy!” I said: 'Yeah. If the Who can do it, why can’t we?' Well, the straight answer is because we’re not the Who! There are some fans who love that record. To me it was dishonest."

Thanks for sharing this, Clifford. SO COOL! 

This is a collage I created for my brother as a gift to show how much of a diehard fan we have always been all these years. On the left side of the collage is a KISS concert from December 7th, 1977. I was 8 years old and my brother was 10. This was our very first ever KISS concert. Then on the right side of the collage is the last KISS concert we went to on October 25th, 2023. I was 54 and my brother was 56. We went to 13 total shows together over the course of 46 years. We will always continue to keep your music legacy alive!! - Clifford Wilms
