15 Things Only KISS Fans Will Understand

5. The "Wall Of Sound" Was A Lie

In another example of KISS bending the truth somewhat, in the early days they used to tour with a mountain of amplifiers designed to produce a "Wall Of Sound". This gave them a reputation for being one of the loudest bands in the world. However, as every true fan of the band knows, all wasn't as it seemed. Most of the amps were actually empty, with the band not being able to afford more cabinets than were absolutely necessary. The "Wall Of Sound" was a myth made up by the band to make them seem louder and more badass than they actually were. Still, they've made up for it since. They've had stacks and stacks of amps on all of their subsequent big-budget world tours!
