If the KISS army had fought in Vietnam, maybe America would have won.

Not if Ho Chi Minh fielded an army of Replacements.

Hello,

This should surprise no one. After all, Gene Simmons and Donald Trump are the pre-eminent scientists in the world.

And like Trump, Simmons has spent a long time cultivating the illusion that he's a savvy 9th dimensional chess player businessman, instead of an asshole who just throws his logo on everything presented to him.

Ha, ha. How cute. Gene Simmons thinks he's still relevant...

Deuce - Good solid track. Hard hitting and full of neat guitar work, especially the little fill on "baby if you're feeling good," part. Simple yet incredibly effective. Haven't a bad word to say about this one. It is also nice to hear the bass as well, listening to Kiss reminded me of how often the bass appears missing in a number of bands.

Flaming Youth - For 0.5 seconds I thought God Save The Queen had come on. Not as strong as the previous effort but far from a stinker. Vocals weren't as good either, felt more screamy than rocky. Maybe the chorus is a little simplistic but the riff after more than makes up for it, another weird fade out too.

When I was a kid, one of my friends who was way more into them than me, that was his favourite KISS song.

I could Dame several, but I assume you won’t remember.

EDIT: this is awful.
