Rock's Rarest Artifacts

Plenty of Demon boots from 1990s Kiss tours are available, usually paired with four full costume regalia, and fetch up to $200,000. But perhaps no pair of boots is more coveted than the demon monster platform kickers Gene Simmons rocked during Kiss' 1975-76 tour Alive! "Obviously the Alive! period costumes are big," said Kiss guitarist Paul Stanley. "If we're talking the holy grail, that would be the original outfits when we first played with Iggy and The Stooges at the Academy of Music." Stanley says when the band first started wearing stage gear, they cobbled the outfits together from from a number of low-rent places. "My collar came from a pet shop," Stanley says. "I was an XL German Shepard."
