The band KISS used to be known as Wicked Lester. They changed the name in 1973. Paul Stanley (guitar and vocals) became the "Starchild" due to his tendency to be referred to as the "starry-eyed lover" and "hopeless romantic." Stanley came up with the name for the band, which was taken from the New York Dolls song "Looking For A Kiss."
