Singer Paul Stanley admitted in a new conversation with Radioacktiva that the success from the ’80s made Kiss a lazy group.
Here’s what Stanley said:
“From the ’80s… Well, I would say ‘Creatures’ because ‘Creatures’ was really an important album for us to try to get back to where we belong because I think we were wandering and I think that success had made us lazy. ‘Creatures’ was a wake-up for us to make an album that was purely what we love, and that was the start of a new era for us.
”There were great moments on many of the albums; ‘Animalize,’ ‘Lick It Up,’ and ‘Crazy Nights.’ There are good things about each one of them. So the ’80s, although for some people it wasn’t as exciting as us in our full gear, full makeup, it was a time of trying to survive doing something very different than we had.”
