KISS have always had an approach to their fans that on the one hand could be seen as ridiculously crass and on the other as truly generous. And this release, with its three expertly mastered and crammed DVDs--issued with three separate bonus discs--could easily support either view. The second installment in KISS's Kissology DVD series will sort out the casual fans from the true members of the KISS Army. The material included here, after all, begins in 1978, when the band released four separate solo albums at once and their massive popularity began to wane. It continues on through the controversial makeup-free period and ends in '91, as KISS struggled to cope with the ascendancy of grunge over the hair metal style they'd experienced a second boom with. The concert films are pretty great, but the full-length Tom Snyder Tomorrow show appearance is flat-out brilliant, as is their live performance on the short-lived sketch comedy show Fridays. And the highlight of the set has to be the "European theatrical version" of their made-for-TV film KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park. All those who've suffered through poorly degenerated video bootlegs will glory at this wonderfully restored piece of rock and roll camp. --Mike McGonigalProduct Details

Customer Reviews
Gene Simmons-That's what i expected from them
I am a bit disappointed that Kiss releases a bunch of concerts with such an awful sound quality. This should have been brought back to the studio and the sound needed to be mixed again. These concerts sound really poor. I am from europe and i was waiting 3 weeks for the delivery. The box and the package is OK but Kiss should be more respectful with the customers and the fans.
I won't buy the other 3 packages, not even for 1 $. Gene has to think over.
Kissology 2 Rocks !!
Kissology 2 78-91 The 3 disc collection with the bonus DVD of Budokan Hall, Japan concert footage from 88. Disc One features the Kiss movie "Attack of the Phantoms" which is it's DVD premiere. Disc 2 covers Peter leaving the band before the Australian tour and features the Australian invasion of Kiss with great Australian concert footage from Sydney. Disc 3 features concert footage of Brazil, Philly & Detroit. Nice booklet & bonus reproduction of the launch ticket for the movie .. the really neat stuff that Kiss has always rewarded it's fans with. All the favorite songs from the Dynasty / Unmasked period.. with great concert footage of all the classics !!
A must for all Kiss fans.

I bought this item for my son's 39th birthday. He has been a huge KISS fan since he was 7. He is also a musician. He said KISS:Kissology Volume II was fantastic. He already has the other volumes.
