I do remember someone referring to Stanley and Simmons as "plain looking Jewish guys". may have been charitable.

Paul Stanley?

They wouldn’t have survived as a band without taking it off when they did. When they put it back on Ace and Peter couldn’t keep their crap together enough to become multi millionaires again

Who knows. I was never a Kiss fan although my son was in a couple of tribute bands.

Anyhow, I believe that was about the time "Lick it up" came out which pulled them out of the gutter. 1983.
