@Godthunder15 I'd have to say "rock n' roll Over" since I don't think "Hooligan" is that good of a song. Other than that, they're just about dead even imo.
Sorry but this is the Halen Brother's on the Love Gun Album.It's a deep dark Kiss secret!Somebody posted on the God of Thunder Video that Bob Kulick and E V Halen and Alex play on Kiss tunes on Destroyer-Love Gun era.Hmmm! I wonder if it's true.In the book Kiss and Sell Paul states that the Halen Bro's are all over Love Gun...
but it's still a mystery who played what, since Ace and Peter mentioned that Ace did bass on many of Kiss albums, and it's still unknown how many people played on Creatures
that's sad, 'cause you would expect that everybody would do their job fully
@robzombys1 Eddie & Alex played on demos of "Christine 16" (Eddie wrote the solo) & 1-2 other songs but they never played on a Kiss lp. Bob Kulick played on a half full of songs & Anton Fig played on "Dynasty" except for "Dirty Livin".& all of "Unmasked." Peter had gotten into a car accident in '79 so that's why Fig played on that album. Peter was fired & Kiss hadn't settled on a drummer yet so that's why Fig played on that lp. Bobby rondinelli was 2nd in line for being the new drummer in '80.
@robzombys1 I'm sorry, let me clarify that. Bob Kulick did not play on "Love Gun", "Dynasty" or "Unmasked." Although, to me, the guitar solo for "X-ray Eyes" (off of "Dynasty") doesn't sound a lot like Ace. As far as I know, he never used a "whammy bar" in his original stint in Kiss. Give it a listen. Anton Fig drummed on all of "Unmasked" & all of "Dynasty", minus "Dirty Livin'", which Peter DID play on. I hope that clears it up for you, cheers!
@sjdss Yeah, Ace doesn't have a lot of "tricks" up his sleeve, so to speak, but has made up for that w/a cool style (i.e. solo for "100,000 Years" & "Strange Ways".)
on the love gun record ace played some bass and gene played some guitar! gene plays bass on this! ace plays some of shock me bass and gene plays some of almost human guitar
@arnolddrummer ACE has said he played bass on some songs and used fenders on some songs and gene said in his book he played some of the solo mixed in with ACES solo on almost human!
@arnolddrummer ACE played bass on parasite hotter than hell album! simmons played some guitar on ladies in waiting! ACE also played bass on hard times! kissfaq.com search who probably played what on what you will be surprised!
@stymye thats cool!! i bought that 2 days after it came out!! i was 8 at the time. but even as a dumb kid at the time, i was disapointed! i love mr. speed!!, i stole your love!!! but to me as a whole, it was a bit weaker! mop! as a fan i still think their most underated song (dont laugh) ha ha is shandi!!
The versions of eddie and alex on the love gun demos are awful, mostly because the sound was terrible. Ace played bass, and ALL guitar on loads of KISS tunes and that is a fact guys. There is nothing wrong with the new line up of KISS, i saw them in Glasgow and the kicked serious ass, however the early albums were the strongest for the band.
I read somewhere that when gene did the demo for this song he had Eddie and Alex cut it with him. I would die to hear that version!!! as cool as that would sound It's hard as hell to touch this version. Great song,great production and of course...there's ACE!
One of a number of songs that Kiss did during the classic era that made people say 'kiss sucks'(But some fun vocal back and forths). Also Include hooligan, baby driver, getaway, tomorrow and tonight, I wanna go rocknroll, beth, hard luck woman, goin blind,....etc.
@RockSalami Funny because, as far as I am concerned, all those songs you mention are f.a.n.t.a.s.t.i.c, to put it mildly. By the way, when you say "I wanna go rocknroll" you mean "Let me go rock'n'roll", right?
@RockSalami What's wrong with this tune? Nothing,it's an underrated song on 1 of the best KISS albums ever! I remember getting this as a kid back in '77 and loved every song on it.Love Gun sounds even better now 34 years later!
@RockSalami i agree with you their classic songs were amazing, i dont understand why people say they suck. To this day at 22 years old i still shed tears a bit whenever i listen to beth
@Godthunder15 Other songs on those albums are great. They had great songs back then. But there are reasons people said in the 70's "KISS Sucks!!!!" The songs I mentioned are the reason for that, including this one.
I'm a musician..Been playing music for a long time. I want to say that Gene is a good bassist. He has recorded many good bass lines. He does lots of walking bass lines. He's not hi tech or flashy, but his playing definitely embellished the songs nicely.
@mmorrison69 Are you sure on that one? No doubt the bass playing is awesome (I'm a bass player by the way) but if thats true...wow! It makes me love the song even more. It always had a different groove than other Kiss stuff for some reason,,,maybe cause Ace is laying it down!
Gene has been a pro longer than you have been masterbating to his basslines, "amateur" get a clue...you can't be sober and talk shit about Gene and think you can get away with it and cum out smelling like roses...
I think that this is also the same time Gene stopped playing all of the bass riffs, you know his ass didn't play this shit. Think about it, he DID NOT play detroit rock city on destroyer, ACE DID. I think he had Bob Babbitt play this, he is not good enough to do this song. I don't give a fuck, he did'nt play this shit
@evilunixuser1 wtf r u talkin about man.get the fuck out of here with your stupid shit.Why talk if u dont know what youre talkin about?? or are unsure at best,bye bye
You obviously are the stupid shit. Take a look at Dynasty. Peter was a no-show for some of the songs. Gene admitted it. On Unmasked, Eric Carr came into the band, but KISS gave the credit to Peter. I bet you are just a little KISS wannabe fan. I bet I was listening to KISS when you were still a stain on a pair of underwear. Bet you don't even know who gave Paul his rose tattoo, and where he had it done, or the date of Dressed To Kill was released. So drop dead you phony KISS fan.
Gene should release some of those demos which Eddie & Alex played on
Hell,i think we'd all love to hear them.

I think a lot of people are shortselling Gene's musical abilities.He has been
a musician for over 45 years.He has toured the world several times over
You'd think he'd know how to play the bass by now.Now i know in the 80's
he was AWOL on a lot of the Kiss albums, like Asylum and Animalize. But
he admitted he was'nt around for those.
AnnaAnnaYes 1 year ago
This album cover,is credited with creating the "Devil Horns" hand gesture
look at Gene's left hand.This was released in 1977.Dio was still in Rainbow
I love Dio as much as anybody,but he did'nt start flashing horns until he was
in Black Sabbath, and that was 1980.
