Actor and comedian Hal Sparks (Queer as Folk) has been a KISS mega-fan for as long as he can remember. He saw the poster for KISS’ hit album Destroyer and his jaw dropped. He’s been in awe of its artistry and musicianship ever since.
Destroyer helped to cement KISS as globe-dominating rock superstars, producing a string of hits and providing a perfect vessel for the band’s particular brand of rock theatricality. Sparks’ love for the band has only grown since the release of Destroyer, as has his encyclopedic knowledge of the band’s history. Since the very beginning, Sparks felt the — well, spark of what connecting to art on such a personal level feels like.
“I want people to have the same experience I had with something that I had picking up Destroyer and going, ‘This is part of who I am,'” he explains.
