In 1977 I was given a copy of KISS "Destroyer". Probably one of the best Hard Rock/Metal Albums of all time. I quickly followed up by buying KISS "Alive" and it changed my life forever..

I WORE OUT the Double Cassette of "Alive" and "Alive II". "Alive" is my favorite album of "all time" - and is recognized as the album that influenced guitarists like Slash, Dimebag Darrell, Marty Friedman, Dave Sarbo, Scott Ian, Lenny Kravitz and bands such as Motley Crue, Skid Row, Pantera, Anthrax and Metallica have covered songs from this album.

Given = Destroyer

Bought = Alive

What memories from my favorite musical era...
