When your primary motivations are to get laid, get rich, and become popular, in that order, kiss has it down to an art form.
Back in the early/mid 90s I had just bought Death Spiritual Healing, Malevolent Creation Ten Commandments, and Nocturnus The Key from a video rental place in my home town.
Me and a buddy listened to all of the metal I just got and decided to see what else we could find. Then we saw it, it had to be the holy grail of heavy metal! There was a motorcycle blasting out of hell and this awesome bat in the background. The album was Bat Out of Hell and the band was so metal their name was Meatloaf! This was going to be soul crushingly heavy…
“Rock and roll all nite” is at least somewhat rock-ish. Try “I was made for loving you” that’s almost pure disco.
The incredible irony here is that there are so, so many death and black metal musicians that are genuinely better people than Gene Simmons could ever be. I would trust my kids (note: I do not have kids) around Cannibal Corpse and Cattle Decapitation. I would absolutely not trust Simmons around a teen daughter.
that pedo band?

If you pay attention, lyrics about sex with minors was a common theme from the 50s (and earlier) to the 90s (and later).
“I get it up for the touch of the younger kind” ~ my Sharona - the knack, 1979
“She was just 17, if you know what I mean” ~ I saw her standing there - the Beatles, 1963
Girl, you’ll be a woman soon. Neil diamond
Don’t stand so close to me. The police
Sweet little sixteen. Chuck Berry
Etc.
It’s worth noting that Paul McCartney was only 21 and George Harrison only 20 in 1963. That’s a group of guys who hadn’t really matured much since they never had to face any of the challenges that we did at that age, and were constantly doted upon. I’m not excusing their lyrics, I’m just saying 17 and 20 (only 3 years apart) is not as creepy as shit like old ass Ted Nugent singing about 13 year old girls. That shit is criminal, and gross.
