3. KISS merchandise included KISS coffins.

Answer: True

There is not much KISS haven't released via way of merchandise, which included keychains, bowling balls, air freshener, lighters, and KISS-opoly; their very own version of the popular board game.

4. In which year did Gene Simmons, Peter Criss, Paul Stanley, and Ace Frehley all release solo albums?

Picture's only begun
Got you under their thumb
Hit it
Out on the streets for a living
Picture's only begun
Your day is sorrow and madness
Got you under their thumb

Whoo, black diamond
Whoo, black diamond

Darkness will fall on the city
It seems to follow you too
And though you don't ask for pity
There's nothin' that you can do, no, no"
