Still not better then Ace's. Honestly, say what you will but I think Peter's was the most overlooked album of them all. Ace & Peter = True musicians - Gene & Paul = Businessmen/Showmen
I love ACE but thinking his Album was better ? This album was so diverse , classy, rocking ( at times ). I think it was the best of the four. Gene did a great job !
this was my favourite song by gene off his solo album , i also remember it confusing me when i first heard it on best of solo albums before that i had only heard his voice on alive 2 so i was slightly confused that this was the same gene.
Gene really does live in a fantasy world, and I'm saying that with appreciation...This is the child in him, that part of all of us that never goes away. He's an extremely gifted man, no matter what the naysayers have to say about money and sex and what have you..He lives and breathes KISS, his true influences come out in his solo music...Drugs and booze destroyed KISS in the late 70's, Gene and Paul worked their asses off to keep the band afloat...They deserve what they have today
@VaderMode1 i agree..him and paul stayed drug free and look at them now..still going strong..i do miss eric carr..just not the same without eric carr...
HAHAHA the comments on his last solo. That was completely written by Gene with some help on the other instruments suspect. When the first solo was done he had a bunch of his own material the others weren`t involved in. He threw a bit of a tantrum over wanting his own music saying he wanted to take Kiss in a new direction using his music & style. My cousins was one of the silent backers & phoned me up to talk to Gene & Ace. Genes album was fittingly titled he is a jerk.
Hey all you people that don't seem to get it.. Gene is Gene not KISS if you want KISS out side of KISS Paul is the one trick pony all he knows is the same style he writs for KISS, fear controls Paul Stanley, he only gives people what he thinks they want, Paul has not grown out of the Must sound like KISS thing even after over 35 years, Gene, Peter and Ace are themselves fuck it they write for themselves Paul only knows one type of writing and it all sounds the same!!
I'm currently working on a short story based on my dark childhood in the late 1970s, so I'm listening to these old recordings again for the first time in decades in order to put me in an inspirational groove.
This was good song but, I liked RADIOACTIVE, BURNING UP WITH FEVER, SEE YOU TONITE, LIVIN IN SIN, ALWAYS NEAR YOU (NOWHERE TO HIDE), and SEE YOU IN YOUR DREAMS.
gene simmons the most made fun of member of kiss ever! NO ONE! really likes him! he had a couple of good songs when KISS really mattered 72-75 other than that hes just a below average bassist the easiest to play of all instruments! with many crappy sissy songs like this! hey GENE! richard simmons called HE WANTS his small penis BACK!
@sjdss You're a disgruntled Ace fan who trolls KISS songs on YouTube. Kiss ass. This is a great song and Gene is a great bassist, I'd like to see you write a song as good as this.
@StoneColdCrazy74 True, but you know Gene doesn't play bass at all on this album, right ? All bass parts were done by Neil Jason, of The Brecker Brothers fame.
@BuckNekkid3000 I'll second that, but either way he is a good businessman with good showmanship. He was never in it purely for the music like Ace & Peter were nor was Paul. Paul just wanted to give everybody a show like they've never seen before and gene just wants to sell everything that he possibly can. I'm not knocking Gene, because he's good at what he does. But when I say that I mean selling things, not playing bass or writing songs. That's Ace, Paul and ever Peters forte.
@fifis677 Dopers and boozehounds are usually the most self-centered people on the planet but Gene Simmons and that other famous asshole, Ted Nugent are living proof even drug free people can be that way too. With all their worldly success one can only wonder how happy are they really? It just seems to me genuinely happy people don't have egos that need constant feeding and are not narcissistic. Google Narcissistic personality disorder and see if it reminds you of anyone.
This is a very good song, Kiss fans and people have to realize , get into their thick head its not a Kiss album. People bag Peter album but is good , listen without prejudices ...................please
I didn't like Gene's solo album when it first came out, because i was expecting hard rock a la KISS. But over the years I have to admit that it's now my favourite of the four.
@DisasterBlaster500 Well, his last solo CD was absolutely terrible. In a sense, times of Rock N' Roll have changed, and it is hard not to give in. This album is much better than the album titled 'Asshole', but it is two different types of rock.
I think it would be hard for Gene to release an album, similar to this one, and for it to sell all that well, at all!
@KISSROCKS7300... He took more risks on this album than the other three members did on theirs. Well, except for Peter. For him, doing a whole album of his own material was the biggest risk of all.
@KISSROCKS7300 - the ony people buying KISS albums (solo or as a band) are KISS fans. It'd sell the same amount as "A**hole" and be a much better record if he wrote the songs himself, unlike "A**hole" where he just added his vocals to other bands demos they submitted to Simmons Records.
Gene was a great supporter of the beatles and alot of the songs have the influenece of the beatles and ive got to say that it suits gene perfectly. this is a great song probably the most relaxed on the album. it defanetley reminds me of the 70s + on songs radioactive and i think tunnel of love joe perry from aerosmith does the lead guitaring sounds great.
@Darco1977 Nicht das, das mit Deutschem, aber geht groß ist hier. lol I' VE erhielt zuzustimmen, dieses ist ein schönes Lied. Dank für das Kommentieren!
You meant to say "Actually one of Kiss's best songs ever. This song has always chilled me!" Not "have always chilled me!" For your information, this song is not really by the official band Kiss. It's by Gene SImmons as a solo artist. In 1978 the four original Kiss members released individual solo albums with only their faces on the cover but they had their own solo bands. If you read the inner sleeves of each 1978 solo album you will realize that.
You mean "were" Gene and Peter. Not "where" Gene and Peter. I don't care if you had Gene's solo album on vinyl. The fact of the matter is, this is not a Kiss song, it's a Gene Simmons solo song. What's wrong with me is I can't tolerate people that can't spell correctly. Make more sense the next time you post something!
