Info for Kiss (Remastered)
Kiss' penchant for make-up was inspired by their downtown New York neighbors the New York Dolls and by Alice Cooper, who was on top of the glam-rock world when Kiss' self-titled debut came out in 1974. Rather than dress in drag as the Dolls did, Kiss fashioned their look on a mix of sci-fi and horror films, and the rock & roll of their youth. They fashioned their music on willful hard-rock arrogance.
Several songs on KISS became staples in the group's catalog. 'Strutter,' about a beautiful woman with a confident swagger, mirrored the attitude of the band, and it contained the first of many incendiary Ace Frehley solos.
The album also contains 'Cold Gin,' Ace's signature song; 'Deuce,' with its quintessential sexual posturing and fiery soloing; and 'Black Diamond,' Paul Stanley's epic tribute to a streetwalker with a hardscrabble life. Kiss' hunger to succeed resulted in some interesting recording choices, such as transforming teen idol Bobby Rydell's 'Kissin' Time' into a stomper with singalong choruses typical of early-'70s pop. There's even an instrumental, 'Love Theme From Kiss,' a showcase for the quartet's musical synchronicity. It was the beginning of a long and influential career.
