Maria IvesHalloween is just around the corner, and dressing up as a member of KISS is always popular. However, if you don’t have a lot of experience applying makeup, it might be a bit of a challenge.
Enter Gene Simmons, who celebrates his birthday today (August 25.)
Check out this very detailed video below of Gene applying his trademark Demon makeup to his daughter, Sophie. (He even says what makeup you should use, too!) With a little practice, we bet you’ll be able to do the Demon makeup as well as Gene himself.
The Who’s Live at Leeds was released on May 16, 1970, and it’s one of the greatest live albums of all time.
It saw the band adding heavier guitars to their mod-era classics and to some early rock and roll chesnuts, and it holds up to any of their studio albums. Through the ‘70s, and ever since, rock bands have been releasing live documents of their concerts, and while some of them are little more than “greatest hits” collections with crowd noise, the albums on this list are essential parts of their respective artists’ discographies.
