What is your favorite song by KISS? (Part 2)
Okay, since there are so many cool songs by KISS, I decided to break the choices up into different eras of the band. The first four choices were from the early 70's KISS before they got huge. Those are the songs you probably rocked out on with the Alive! album. I wanted to list other killer KISS songs from that time like:
Firehouse Hotter Than Hell Black Diamond Let Me Go, Rock and Roll But I wasn't sure how to make more choices than four on the poll. So here are some songs from the post-Alive! era, from Destroyer and afterward. What are your favorites from when they got huge? |

KISS lyrics
Here are the lyrics of a great song from an underrated album, 1993's Revenge. A return to form for KISS after several albums of admitted fluff.
UNHOLY [Gene Simmons] I was there through the ages Chained slaves to their cages I have seen you eat your own I'm the cycle of pain Of a thousand year old reign I'm suicide and salvation The omen to nations That you worship on all fours I'm the infection and famine That's knocking at your door That's why you're feeling so Unholy Oh, I was created by man, you know I'm.... Unholy Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I am the incubus i lay the egg in you The worm that burrows Through your brain But you are the beast That calls me by my name You send your children to war To serve bastards and whores So now you know You created me On the day that you were born Unholy I was created by man, yeah I'm the Lord of the flies, you know I'm From the left hand of power comes the father of lies - Unholy! (Instrumental break) I lay you down to sleep Your soul to keep Better cross your heart before you die And now you know Know that you are mine That's why you're feeling so Unholy, Unholy, Unholy - Unholy!! |

'92's Revenge was definitely Kiss' best album since Creatures of the Night in '82. It was Classic Kiss.
But '97's Carnival of Souls was Kiss finally growing up. For once, there was nary a song in sight about partying, women, or sex. However, instead of following that direction, Kiss put the make-up back on, and that was the end. |

KISS without girlie-lyrics??
A mature KISS with Carnival of Souls...Hmmm. I wonder what if the makeup hadn't gone back on....I guess you can't have KISS without the horny lyrics. Sometimes I wonder how good of an idea it was to have Ace Frehley and Peter Criss back in the fold, they were the biggest slackers in the world.
I read the latest Guitar World with Tommy Thayer, Ace's replacement in the latest version of KISS, he looks better in Ace's makeup than Ace does.

God Gave Rock and Roll to You
"God Gave Rock and Roll to You" was originally a song by the 70's rock band Argent who did "Hold Your Head Up". (Their lead singer was Rod Argent who was in the 60's band the Zombies, who did "She's Not There" and "Time of the Season for Loving.")
Horror story: Another band that did a cover of the song was Christian rock band Petra on their 1985 release "Beat the System." Their version actually was actually very lame, the band had turned from being an actually decent arena-rock style band in the vein of REO Speedwagon and Triumph to an over-synthed out shadow of its former self, and their drummer Louie Weaver temporarily replaced by a drum machine. The vocals of this song were done in a faux-opera style, and the album was pretty abysmal. Their lead singer Greg X. Volz left the band soon after that and was replaced by John Schlitt, former vocalist for 70's rock band Head East, who did classic rock staple "Never Been Any Reason," who had become a Christian. Petra had then become a band that sounded a lot more like Journey with the addition of a new vocalist. But Petra's cover of "God Gave Rock and Roll to You" pales in comparison to KISS' version.

That's 'cause Kiss re-wrote the song, leavbing only the chorus.
Never heard the original version. Also haven't bought Alive IV Yet. Without Ace, I've really no reason to buy it. I have Unplugged, I have every Kiss album, and I have Alive 1 and 2... what more do I need? |

And another thing... I wouldn't mind the fact that Ace was replaced if Kiss hadn't put a scab in Ace's make-up.
No one likes Vinnie Vincent... why not give the Roadie the Ankh make-up? If only Ace hadn't sold the rights to his make-up to Kiss between '96 and '01... |
