Three Tune Tuesday Week 156, Happy 3 Year Anniversary TTT!

avatar

Happy three year anniversary to #threetunetuesday ! I've been participating for quite some time now and it's a lot of fun. First off I want to say thank you @ablaze for starting and continuing to sponsor this weekly event. It's officially week 156, so I thought I might do something different. Last week I did the combo with #nintiesfriday which turned out really well, when I found the silver floppy disc coin I shared last week I also came across this silver Kiss coin. How many bands have a their own commemorative coin produced by any country?

From the island nation of Niue the answer to that one is two, Kiss and Aerosmith. Since the Kiss one looked cooler I had to go with Kiss today. Can you believe that is solid silver that's been colorized? They made non color version too, but this one was just weird enough that I had to share it! Am I a die hard fan of the band? No, but they have some great songs and are one of the most influential rock bands of all time.

About the coin:

Do I own one of these? No. I wouldn't mind owing one if the price were right, now it's listed at $45 on APMEX which is a little more than I would pay because let's face it, I'm not a die hard Kiss fan. But it's one of those coins that might appreciate with time, but in time will Kiss fade into anonymity or remain rock icons? They finally called it quits last year so it may be at it's high point now and will drop down slowly over the next fifty years. Who knows? Then again silver prices at that point might be $200 an ounce so it might be win either way...

KISS

Anyway, onto to the music. Kiss was a band formed in New York City in 1973 by Gene Simmons, Paul Stanly, Ace Frehly and Peter Criss. What set them apart was the makeup, costumes, and the hard rock sound. They hit mainstream success when they released "Rock and Roll All Nite" in 1975. They were such a big band that a young Eddie Van Halen begged Gene Simmons to let him join Kiss, but he turned him down. HIs reason being that because Van Halen's skills were just too good to be playing Kiss songs. He advised him to stick with his band fronted by David Lee Roth, and not long after Van Halen became one of the biggest bands of all time. Simmons called that one right!

They had continued success into the 1980's and lost the face paint in 1983 to fit better in the 1980's rock scene. Throughout the late 80's they lost a lot of their following and Criss and Frehley left the band. A reunion tour in 1996 brought them back th the mainstream with a return of the makeup and costumes. In 2014 they were inducted into the the Rock Hall of Fame and they remained a popular touring band until they retired last year.

First up we'll start off with "Rock And Roll All Nite":

Next in the lineup well be their 1983 mega hit done without the makeup, "Lick It Up":

And to complete the trio let's go with another classic, "Detroit Rock City":

They were quite a band weren't they? That will just about do it for my edition of #threetunetuesday . I hope you enjoyed it and the silver Kiss coin as well. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to leave them below, have a great Tuesday!

And since I am posting in the #freecompliments community I just wanted to remind everyone to take some time today to be kind. A little kindness can make a huge difference in someone's life. Please check out the community and consider joining us!

I'll also tag @inthenow because he's a metal fan, I'm not sure if you are a Kiss fan or not though!

They were my favorite band growing up in the late 70’s. I’ve seen them in concert over 100 times, in eleven different states. I’ve never seen that coin before, it wicked cool and I’m not a fan of colorized coins.

That is a whole lot of shows you made it to! I never saw them live, I always wanted to buy the timing was never right. I love the colorized coin, I'm not usually into the color but this one really looks like a record. It's really cool. The Aerosmith one just wasn't nearly as impressive, but Kiss is a cooler band anyway!

I followed them all over the east coast. Speaking of Aerosmith we just confirmation on the make up date for that concert. Tyler strained his larynx and cancelled all shows for 4 months. Our new concert date is December 28th.

Ah man, KISS. Loudest concert I have ever been to. I've probably mentioned this before, but my ears were ringing for days. I only went because my buddy loves them and I didn't want him to have to go alone. It was a great show. My favorite KISS song is Hard Luck Woman. I hate Beth though.

I've heard they were loud, I think Motley Crue was the loudest show I've been to. I bet your ears were ringing. My ears ring all the time now, too much noise when I was younger and in the military!

Hard Luck Woman is a great song, and I also hated Beth. It just doesn't fit there style!

It was an outdoor show when I was the Crue, so it was hard to gauge the volume. KISS was at a small arena where a local hockey team plays, so it was all enclosed. To be fair Hard Luck Woman doesn't really fit their style either, but I just dig it.

KISS? Who are they? Nah....
Detroit Rock City is an ode to the power of rock’n’roll... or War Machine.

They definitely stood out on the classic rock scene with their one of a kind face painting!😊
I didn’t know that later on they lost that face painting to fit into the 80s interesting …☺️

One of a kind band for sure! I remember seeing the video for Lick It Up and not realizing it was Kiss at first since the makeup was gone!

Yeah, they really are. I was never a big fan either because they were before my time except for "Lick It Up". In the 90's is when I really started to appreciate their music. I have some songs that I really like by them, they were an awesome rock n roll band!

Nope, no rest haha..

I have several silver stuff waiting for me to write about but with little computer time due to my back being a pain in the arse (lol), I just wrote a bit about other stuff ..

But tomorrow I hope to write some stuff ahead because I need to take into account that it's just a few more weeks until 12 week summer holiday and I best have some prepped stuff to post while my daughter is home 3 whole months..

Wish they'd fill up the pool in a few weeks rather than when holiday starts..

Skipping this week's 90s Friday but my friend Whywhy joined so you guys have at least 1 person this week :)

I saw that and welcomed Whywhy! I have somewhat of a post started, I just need to finish it up this afternoon.

12 weeks summer holiday for your little girl, she will be excited, but that's a lot of extra work for you. I should be fun though, I miss having a kid around...

I have to get some silver content out first so I'm going to try and join next week..

And yes of course she will love it but I really have to either do my thing early morning while I still have my boyfriend's chair and desk OR only evening and ignore the computer rest of the day so I won't be in pain more than needed.

Having the pool open would be helpful so I can start swimming daily..

She's just not going to get the tablet every day anymore because he behaviour was starting to get bad again. Therefore, I will have to up my game and make sure the pain gets to minimum to be able to do so. I look down at the pool and see it's far from being done though.. But they always open when school ends so 4 weeks tops..
