![]() Simmons wrote the song at a Holiday Inn in Evansville, Indiana and the title was inspired by a hospital intercom announcement in the Three Stooges film Men in Black. Love” fared even better, peaking at No. 16 on the Billboard chart. But Simmons convinced Stanley to keep the song for KISS, so Stanley gave it to Criss and the number became a Top 20 song on the Singles chart. Love.” Stanley originally wrote the former with the intention of giving it to Rod Stewart, who no doubt would have turned it into a top-charting hit. 11, thanks in part to the singles “Hard Luck Woman” and “Calling Dr. Released at the peak of the band’s popularity, the album entered the Billboard album chart at No. But, in a way, the more interesting question is what you say to someone not in front of an audience. Like many of their early albums, KISS recorded Rock And Roll Over in less than two months. And if you wouldn’t change your mind even if God told you otherwise, then you have a problem with refusing to admit you’re wrong that transcends anything a mortal like me can say to you, I guess. KISS hired Doret again to design the cover art for 2009’s Sonic Boom. Criss has a forcefield around his head Ace Frehley shoots laser beams from his eyes and Paul Stanley sports what appear to be orange wings. Gene Simmons’ hair is ablaze and his serpentine tongue uncurls lasciviously. To perpetuate their superhero image, KISS hired artist Michael Doret to create the iconic cover, which featured cartoon heads of the four band members in face makeup inside a round ring of lightning. Emboldened, the band continue with Ezrin on a follow-up to Hot in the Shade.With a more immediate sound, KISS were able to present infectious rock songs, including “Take Me” and “Ladies Room” without sacrificing the raw power the band strived for. The song was featured in Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey with a 40-second Steve Vai solo instead of the Kiss intro found on the album and was a major success, hitting the Top 30 in seven countries, including the Mainstream Rock Tracks in the United States. But Simmons, Ezrin and Paul Stanley rewrote the song, which they recorded at Ocean Way Recording, The Enterprise and A&M Studios in California, with both Eric Carr and Eric Singer: Singer played the drums while Carr, who was unable to play for his health problems, sang the a cappella line “…to everyone, He gave His song to be sung.” ![]() Gene Simmons was not sure it was the right move, “especially after the bad experience of The Elder“. The band agreed and reunited with producer Bob Ezrin, ten years after the debacle of Music From “The Elder”. In February 1991, Kiss was asked by the producers of the film Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey to record “God Gave Rock ‘n Roll to You II” (a remake of the song “God Gave Rock and Roll to You” by the English rock band Argent). The main riff of the song was used as the basis for Frehley’s Comet song “Breakout”, from the 1987 album Frehley’s Comet. One modification to the song was the dubbing of Bruce Kulick’s guitar over Ace Frehley’s original work. The album was dedicated to Carr, and the closing track, “Carr Jam 1981,” is a demo the drummer had recorded soon after joining the group in 1980. Do you remember the first concert Eric played with KISS. They had been planning to start recording the album Revenge and also shoot a video for God Gave Rock and Roll to You II. Marking a stylistic departure from the pop-influenced glam metal which characterized much of the band’s 1980s output for a heavier sound, the album reached the Top 20 in several countries, though it failed to reestablish the group back in the mainstream and its sales were equal-to or less than its predecessors, ultimately only being certified gold by the RIAA on July 20, 1992. It is the band’s first album to feature current drummer Eric Singer, following the death of former drummer Eric Carr in November 1991 and is the group’s last album to feature musical contributions from the latter. Revenge is the sixteenth studio album by American rock band Kiss, released on May 19, 1992.
