I'm not sure if this was already posted here but as long as I'm thinking of 'Music From the Elder' here's Doro's cover of "Only You".

...and speaking of this song (& no I won't mention the sampling of this on Julez Santana's Rap song...whoops I just did mention it!) it actually pre-dates Kiss back to the days of Wicked Lester & even just before that when they were called Rainbow. The song was originally called "Eskimo Sun" before they reworked it for the Elder

From what I've read, a hand model was hired for the picture used on the cover of The Elder. Most people always assumed it was Paul's hand, but it wasn't. in fact, if I'm not mistaken (and I could easily be wrong) that picture of Paul in front of the door was actually taken a few years after. The door in the image is a door at some church in downtown NYC.

With all the mixed feelings of The Elder (I Love it personally) I found this a bit interesting. PLus I thought it would be good to go with 70's Guy's post in regards to the worst metal albums of all time.


I never really thought that myself and in fact was Rolling Stone Magazine's first REAL praise of a KISS album.

Anyway from Bob Ezrin to Lou Reed...enjoy readin what I found.​

​

MP, cool writeup and disection of The Elder.

Yeah it's good stuff.

To show just how great KISS made the Odyssey, here is the original version from composer Tony Powers.

Enjoy.

^^^Awesome show 70's Guy^^^^

I am Looking forward to 'Monster' & I think it's going to be phenomenal. I loved Sonic Boom & still listen to it frequently but I have a feeling 'Monster' is going to be even better.
