I'm listening to Kiss Alive! front to back for the first time ever.

Help, I don't want to admit it, but Parasite is a sick riff.

They have a lot of “sick” riffs. Parasite, Deuce, Black Diamond, Cold Gin, God of Thunder, DRC

I Stole Your Love is a good one too. I also always liked She too

You may mock Kiss and hate them, but there's no denying that this is a great album, and if you only want one album, this is the one. The opening duo of Deuce and Strutter, Parasite, Watchin' You, 100,000 Years, Black Diamond - all quality meat and potatoes rock. It was all downhill from here.

Yes, it was music for teenagers, just like 90% of rock and roll - Elvis, Jerry Lee, on and on. And I was a teenager.

Are you drinking vodka and orange juice?

Also, after listening to Alive!, one of my conclusions was reaffirming my believe that Cold Gin is unbelievably overrated compared to the rest of their early catalog. I don't get it.

The best thing about Cold Gin are the bass slides. Other than that it sounds a bit draggy. They needed Bun E. Carlos with a bad back to push the tempo.

He was no better than 70’s Peter. Just known due to his weird look. Not special.

All downhill? Not even
