KISS w/BRYAN ADAMS "Rock and Roll Hell" (franKENstein Remix) just for fun

Here's a quick mix I threw together. Back in 1982 Bryan Adams co-wrote some material for the CREATURES OF THE NIGHT ALBUM. This is one of the songs that ended up on the album. It had actually been recorded earlier by BTO with a different arrangement. Recently Bryan recorded and released versions of this song and also "War Machine". I thought it would be interesting to here Bryan's great, raspy vocals on this but with KISS' heavy arrangement and production. Of course Gene does a fantastic job singing this one but I love Bryan's voice a ton and he has a great delivery here.

The story goes that for the KISS version Gene insisted on a 3rd verse in order to share the writing credit. For this version, I've left out the 3rd verse which Bryan doesn't do on his version and instead it repeats the pre-chorus before the ending instead.

The only other change I made was to boost the guitars a bit. Otherwise it's the 1997 remastered version straight from the CD.

Enjoy!

nice job but I think Bryans vox pale in comparison to Genes on this.
Also, I realize Gene might have only done a verse to get writing credit, that verse is necessary.

Look at me sticking up for Geno

Yeah, like I said Gene nailed it and has an incredible voice when he isn’t in “demon” mode. Just an experiment. Notice I didn’t bother with “War Machine” :mrgreen:

I already did a version where Gene and Ace trade vocals and it has Ace’s solo on it. That’s why I just did Bryan on this one.

Thanks for sharing, but Ace's singing is (predictably) ballsack.

I think your time would be better spent volunteering at a soup kitchen.

Do what I say, KISStard, or I’ll set Julian Gill on you.
Oh noes! He’s just mad because I’m Gay4Gooch. That should be the next fake screen name I troll him with. :lol:

If you do, then you have time to stop this silly shit and do more. People are starving out there.

Based on you trying to shit up my thread it looks like we could both make better use of our time.
