That Short-Lived Time When Kiss' Paul Stanley Wore Makeup That Made Him Look Like The Lone Ranger
It's easy — particularly for older readers who may have been fans back in the 1970s when the band first started getting big — to think of KISS and their makeup as belonging to the original four members and their original looks. However, like multiple other bands, KISS has seen members come and go and come back again, and those new members have brought their own looks to the group. Further still, as MetalTalk reports, the band members have switched up their looks from time to time.
For example, Criss' cat look changed subtly from time to time. Eric Carr, who replaced Peter Criss (via CHEZ 106), sported looks described at various times as "The Hawk" and "The Silver Fox." Vinnie Vincent, who replaced Ace Frehley, rocked a look reminiscent of an Egyptian hieroglyphic. Stanley, like Criss, also toyed with his look while still with the band. Specifically, for a few weeks in 1973, he replaced the single star over his right eye with a full-eye getup that he (perhaps charitably) called "The Bandit."
