KISS random trivia

The KISS logo had to be redesigned for the German market because of the similarity of its two S's to the symbol of the SS, Adolf Hitler's paramilitary troops, which it is illegal to display in Germany. The German KISS logo has S's that resemble backward Z's, and all the band's albums and German merchandise use it. KISS has four official book releases: KISSTORY, KISSTORY II, Behind The Mask, The Early Years. This is an urban legend - propagated in the 1970s by Minnesota-based evangelists the Peters Brothers - which Gene Simmons has denied in his book.
