Thanksgiving is the time when we get together with our families, stuff ourselves with good food and then sleep for a full day. Rock stars are no different. However, we'd like to pretend they carry their raucous on-stage antics into the dining room for the big feast.

Here's how we think KISS frontman Gene Simmons, Jackyl's Jesse James Dupree and more of your favorite rockers celebrate Thanksgiving.

Leogun Rocks the KISS Kruise [VIDEO]

gonzo — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 19:51:19 +0000

Leogun is a new trio from the U.K. you've been hearing a lot of on 99X lately. With influences ranging from Zeppelin to Jack White, it's no surprise that you you don't hear autotune, sampling, or the typical studio B.S. that a lot of today's new artists seem to overuse to the extreme.

The new KISS album 'Monster' came out last Tuesday, and according to SoundScan (the company that monitors retail sales), it's the #1 album in Shreveport. Surprised? Don't be.

KISS loves kids (not in that way, d-bag!), that's how!

35 Years Ago: Kiss Releases 'Alive II'

On October 14, 1977, barely two years after the release of their career-electrifying concert album ‘Alive!,’ Kiss unleashed its first sequel, ‘Alive II.’ In retrospect, this event may have marked the peak — and also the beginning of the end — of the group’s first golden era. It certainly capped the busiest time in their [...]

Kiss' 'Crazy Nights' Turns 25

Sterling Whitaker — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 23:00:32 +0000

In September of 1987, Kiss reached for pop-rock super-stardom by releasing the keyboard-heavy album ‘Crazy Nights.’ To hear them tell it, they probably wouldn’t make the same choice again.

gonzo — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 22:55:20 +0000

When you hear a KISS song, you automatically think football, right? Maybe not, but if you're looking for a band to open your football telecasts, I'd take KISS over Faith Hill every time. Unless Faith is in her underwear. Or a wet t-shirt. But, I digress.

As you’re probably aware by now, KISS are on the road with Motley Crue, with a stop in Dallas this Saturday.
