Kiss Bands Tree is a display of all known bands with members of the band Kiss. Visit kissbandstree.com for more details, updates, photo descriptions, photo credits, corrections, and more. Criterion for band to be listed is to have played a concert or released a song. Artists often play in several bands simultaneously. Chronological order is by when a band started. A following band does not necessarily mean the artists left previous bands. Timeframe for lineup is displayed in square brackets, and is limited to month and year. Looser notations, for instance [early 1968] or [summer 1970], are displayed if more precise data is not available. A slash in band name means there was a name change, or sometimes, the band used both names. When a band returns to a previous lineup, this is listed as a reunion. Tribute bands are listed as such in square brackets. Certain photos are colorized, and listed as such on their respective pages. More basic edits, such as restoration, color correction and cropping are not listed. Left to right in photos does not correspond to lineup text listing, but is provided in photo descriptions, along with location, event, date, photographer and source, to the degree that this information is available. For lineups where no photo has been found, a placeholder image is displayed. Artists are listed by their most commonly used name, consistently across the tree. Name variations, pseudonyms, full name, and similar, are listed on respective pages. Instrumentation listed is most commonly played instrument in respective lineup. Vocals means lead vocal, while backing vocal is not listed. Comments sections provide further details per lineup, such as proof of existence, reason for lineup change, or notable shows and releases.

Many photos lack credit and description. Adding this is a priority.
