Favorite/Least Favorite KISS Member
Favorite-Paul Stanley  Least-Mark St. John
Favorite/Least Favorite KISS Album
Favorite-this changes almost weekly with me. Right now I'm digging Asylum alot... Least-I can't pick a bad band album, but officially it would be the Peter Criss solo album. Not sure if that counts as a KISS album though...
Favorite
/Least Favorite KISS Song
Favorite-Hide Your Heart   Least-I Still Love You
Best/Worst Concert
Best-there's a couple of these. There's the Syracuse show on the Farewell Tour where I had front row. There's my 1st show in 1984, which was great because it was my 1st. There was the Crazy Nights tour in Utica when my friend & I got backstage passes and got to meet the band before the show. I could go on & on....Worst-None. I've seen the band (KISS) 17 times and have not seen one bad concert. Some of the venues & venue parking lots have been bad, but the band never disappoints...

Most Embarrassing Moment
Probably a disasterous gig I had opening up for "Bleed Christine" back in 1994. Worst gig of my life-and the sole reason I loathe tremelo bridges
Favorite/Least Favorite KISS Member
Favoirite-Peter Criss (Gene's a close 2nd)...Least-Hard to say...Eric Carr doing "Beth" was atrocious & disrespectful, as is the current KISS politics of donning "replacements" in Peter's & Ace's makeup, and refusing to retire after their "Farewell Tour."
Favorite/Least Favorite KISS Album

Favorite
/Least Favorite KISS Song
Favorites-Strutter, Goin' Blind, Black Diamond, Strange Ways.....Least-Most of the 80s stuff is forgettable, with a few exceptions
Best/Worst Concert Experience
Best-Iron Maiden "Brave New Tour" August 2000-Darien Lake,NY....Worst-I can't say I've really been disappointed much towards any national touring artists, but I've sat thru many dreadful local acts over the years.
