Summary: Where is the Eric Singer And Tommy Thayer Disc? That must be on Icons II
Comment: Good track listing, Could have squeezed more songs on each volume. I guess Gene and Paul weren't considered Icons after 1980 according to this set. maybe the second set could have Tommy and Eric covering all Ace and Peter tunes. Save your money(Gene and Paul Don't need it!they're too buzy playing in a KISS KOVER BAND) and make your own mix it will be better!

Summary: KISS Is NOT Putting This Stuff Out!!!
Comment: I love the concept behind this package, it really shows just how talented the entire band was. You get to taste the flavor of each member of Kiss in a way we have not gotten to before. Now, for those who are mad that KISS keeps putting out the same songs, they are NOT! It's the record company, KISS has NOTHING to do with any of this...but we fans buy the stuff no matter what and the record company can add to their bottom line via our money. But fret not, KISS is going back into the studio this next year!!!

Summary: Finally
Comment: This is the first collection that reaches deep and give equal treatment to the talents of all of the original players. Their individual contributions made this band a great band. Yes, Domino is another great Gene tune that came out after the original years and is a classic, but this collection is original and has original materials on it that you will not find on any other compilation. Packaging and music is all first rate. Forget the complainers that dog this band for being successful. I never owned the Peter Criss solo and now I have all of the best parts. Find out what is lost with Ace and Peter gone from the band. There is a reason that teens still listen to Kiss. This is it.

Good fun.

Summary: All old material, as usual
Comment: I've got every one of Kiss' studio albums/CDs in MP3 format. I saved myself X amount of $$$ by picking the individual songs from the CDs and compiling my own Kiss Ikons MP3s. Why pay for something I already have.

Summary: No ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME for these guys!!
Comment: KISS has become such a bad joke over the years - re-releasing the same old songs over and over and over!
It reasons like this - KISS DOES NOT belong in the ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME - EVER!
Gene and Paul never had one bad word to say about the RRHOF - only until their joke of a band became eligible - and found out they were not going to be let in - suddenly they started trash talking the RRHOF - sounds like sour grapes to me!
This band is not capable of putting out new material - because they no longer have it in them to write good songs anymore, explains the reason why it has been over 10+ years since a studio album!
It's a shame the keep ripping off the fans with the same old music - maybe this explains why they will NEVER get into the RRHOF, and why they have NEVER in their 35+ year career - made the cover of Rolling Stone magazine!
Four old overweight men pushing 60 years old - still wearing make-up, wigs, spandex and high heels! It doesn't get any sadder than this! I guess some people refuse to grow old gracefully...
