And here’s the thing too; KISS CHANGED THEIR LOGO when in germany!! They didn’t stomp and argue and whine “This is different! It’s just a logo! We should be an exception!”

They even went out of their way to denounce any claims, the guitarist also noted, “I want to go on record saying that I don’t believe in Hitler or his ideology or anything he stood for. ... [The logo] wasn’t modeled after Hitler or Nazis. It was just cool lightning bolts.
