if this is gene it must be off the newly recorded ones. Cuz you can google how hard it was to remaster the destroyer album cuz of how bob ezrin records. So to have single tracks like this. Its totally pro tools off the newly recorded stuff....

No this is really Gene. It was leaked from Rock Band and only the Destroyer version of DRC was used in Rock band.

@numberonemisfitsfan I would hardly call Gene an overrated player. Not many people I know talk about how great of a bassist Gene is. That said I think he's the perfect player for what KISS needed. Good groove, great thick and nasty tone. Nothing fancy...just the right amount of business. He never just pedals notes, the parts are well thought-out. And yes, a great businessman.

Bob Ezrin wrote this bass line.

I doubt the authenticity of this. Some of the playing is pretty off. For example, at 0:38 - that's a major timing flub to leave on a record.

It seems like the Destroyer version should have a cleaner tone...I bet this is a re-record.

Most of you people are freaking morons. Gene Simmons is a great bassist.

i think it's a fender vi....but i'm not sure

[bassomatic64]

Gene good groove? Good grief!

@Kewln00b The only truly 'difficult' part of the song is it's triplet feel. If you're accustomed to straight-forward 4/4 beats, that swing feel may mess with you. Counting it as '1-and-2-and-3-and-4-and' may help.

I like gene , but very generic and overrated bass player. GREAT business man.
