My kids have been into this off and on for about a year. Keeps coming back. I’ve never been a big fan of KISS - but I kind of dig this!
We will never see their like again. The American Beatles for the 70s on steroids.
Am I correct that this version omits or truncates Ace’s solo on the original?
Yes, it is heavily remixed and edited, with added keyboards and backing vocals.

They needed the added keyboards to fight for the Black Diamond. It was their only hope.

I like the cut of your jib.

Do you hear Doc? I have a potential ally here.

I was deeply scared of KISS as a kid (I was born in 1977). I’d see them and start yelling, but as a red blooded dope smoking American kid - they became cool. You could tell the “cool” music freaks from the followers. The cool kids were listening to Destroyer and the followers were listeining to Zep. I do love Led Zeppelin, but I’m glad I chanced upon KISS because they really were good. They figured out how to make hard rock catchy. Potential ally? Heck, my friend - you have an ally!

Most underrated KISS album? I almost want to go with Hot in the Shade...but has to be Creatures! That is an absolute head stomping of an album. Play that one loud enough and it will just melt your brain!!!

I am a Destroyer man myself, Flaming Youth is my favourite KISS song. Did you know we have a thread dedicated to them? An ally would be welcome at times. :shifty:

I like my KISS strictly pre-Elder. I do give a pass to GGRARTY and Crazy Nights.

The ‘Mats liked them enough to cover them on what would be their best album and it wasn’t an ironic hipster decision. They liked the song. They liked the band. It’s a great track.
