Lucas Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Here's what I would have loved to see: In 1978, KISS puts out a KISS album with the songs that made up their solo albums instead of each member putting out his own album ... It would have been the follow-up to Rock And Roll Over and Love Gun - a rock and roll album with just the four members playing the songs .. So if you were Bill Aucoin circa 1978, you get the boys together and give them your suggestions: - What's the album title ? - What producer ? - What 10 songs will make the album ? And then, as the producer, you can change who sings each song ( ie Paul can sing a song written by Ace, etc) What's your finished album ?? Here's mine: KISS - Back On The Street - 1978 Produced by Eddie Kramer Track list: Side One 1) It's Alright ( sung by Paul ) 2) Radioactive ( sung by Gene, rearranged and recorded heavier for more balls ) 3) NY Groove ( sung by Ace ) 4) In Need Of Love ( written by Ace, sung by Paul ) 5) See You Tonight ( sung by Gene ) Side Two 1) Rip It Out ( sung by Ace ) 2) Move On ( written by Paul, sung by Paul and Peter trading lines or together ) 3) Snow Blind ( written by Ace, sung by Gene .. a sort of follow up to Cold Gin ) 4) Speeding Back To My Baby ( written by Ace, sung by Peter ) 5) Wouldn't You Like To Know Me ( sung by Paul ) This would be a hard sell to Peter and Gene, but the reality is that neither one had much to bring to the table song-wise That, IMHO, would have been a classic KISS album Edited August 27, 2015 by Lucas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUSHHEAD666 Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) We need Earl's expert opinion here! Ok my friend! I just did a quick study of all four albums. ACE of course takes the cake. So here we go! I will save the best for last on this 10 track Kiss solo album. STANLEY 1. "Take Me Away Together As One"2. "Tonight You Belong To Me" Peter 3. "Hooked On Rock And Roll"4. "I Can't Stop The Rain" Gene 5. "Radioactive"6. "See You Tonite" Ace 7. "New York Groove"8. "Speedin' Back To My Baby"9. "Rip It Out"10. "SNOW BLIND" ACE RULES!

treeduck Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 No only a double album featuring the entire Ace and Paul solo albums would do, with nothing from Gene and Peter's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMCXII Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 (edited) How else are we supposed to get us some Frehley without the other 3 clowns..?? Ace's playing is the only one's I can listen to.. and he's my favorite personality in the band too. Go figure! Someone deserves a prize for getting me to post in a Kiss thread though lol Holy shit! 'I was made for loving you' just came on the radio! damn you Lucas!!! Lol ;) Edited August 29, 2015 by MMCXII 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a great song, but wouldn't have as good had it been on Ace's solo album Whenever Gene, Ace or Peter sings a song, and Paul comes in w/ the back up vocals, it sends shivers thru me The band together was electric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
