KISS

In 2010, when KISS performed at the Rock am Ring festival in Nürburg, Germany, they were riding high on the revival sparked by their album 'Sonic Boom'. Released in 2009, this record was their first studio album in over a decade and marked a triumphant return to their classic sound. The band was all about celebrating their legacy, mixing timeless hits like 'Deuce' into their setlist alongside fresh tracks. The energy was palpable; wouldn't you agree that seeing such iconic figures at a major festival just fuels the rock and roll spirit? An interesting tidbit is that 'Sonic Boom' was recorded with a return to their roots in mind, characterized by a focus on hooks and anthemic choruses, reflecting KISS's enduring influence on rock music even after decades in the game.
