Tirohia te wāhanga i raro nei, kātahi ka whakautu i te pātai i muri mai i te reo kotahi me te wāhanga:  Putanga: He rite tonu te ahua o nga reta ki nga tohu o te SS Nazi, he tohu kua aukatia i Tiamana e te Wahanga 86a o te ture whiu Tiamana. Heoi, ko Simmons raua ko Stanley, he Hurai, kua whakakahore i te ahua o te tohu Nazi i roto i te tohu. Mai i te tau 1979, ko te nuinga o nga kopare o te roopu me nga taonga hokohoko i Tiamana kua whakamahia he tohu rereke, kei reira nga reta "SS" e rite ana ki nga reta "ZZ" ki muri. Kei te whakamahia hoki tenei waitohu i Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Lithuania, Hungary me Israel ki te karo i te tautohetohe. Ko te ingoa o te roopu kua maha nga korero e pa ana ki nga tikanga huna. I roto i enei korero ko nga whakapae ko te ingoa he tohu mo "Knights in Satan's Service", "Kinder SS", "Kids in Satan's Service". Kua whakakahore Simmons katoa o enei kerēme. Ko te mahi Kiss tuatahi i runga i Hānuere 30, 1973, mo te hunga whakarongo o te toru i te Popcorn Club (whakapāhotia Coventry poto i muri mai) i roto i Queens. Mo nga konohete tuatahi e toru, Hanuere 30 ki te Hui-tanguru 1, he iti noa iho te whakapaipai; ko nga hoahoa whakapaipai rongonui e pa ana ki Kiss i tiimata i te Maehe 9<unk>10 whakaaturanga i The Daisy i Amityville, New York. I te Poutu-te-rangi 13 o taua tau, i tuhi te roopu i tetahi riipene whakaaturanga e rima-waiata me te kaiwhakanao a Eddie Kramer. Ko te kaiwhakahaere pouaka whakaata o mua a Bill Aucoin, i kite i te roopu i etahi konohete whakaaturanga i te raumati o te 1973, i whakaekea hei kaiwhakahaere o te roopu i waenganui o Oketopa. I whakaae a Kiss, me te tikanga ka hainatia e Aucoin te roopu ki tetahi tohu rekoata i roto i nga wiki e rua. I te Noema 1, 1973, ka waiho a Kiss hei mahi tuatahi i hainatia ki te kaiwaiata pop taiohi o mua me te kaiwhakahaere o Buddah Records a Neil Bogart, Casablanca Records. I uru te roopu ki Bell Sound Studios i New York City i te Oketopa 10, 1973, ki te tiimata ki te tuhi i ta raatau pukaemi tuatahi. I te Hakihea 31, i whakatuwherahia e te roopu a raatau umanga umanga i te Academy of Music i New York City, e whakatuwhera ana mo Blue Öyster Cult. I tenei konohete i tahuna ai e Simmons tana makawe (i kapi i te makawe makawe) mo te wa tuatahi o nga wa maha...  Pātai: I hea te whakaaturanga tuatahi a Kiss?
