Best song on KISS "Alive II" studio side

[METALPRIEST]

I came pretty close to Larger Than Life

Hrmm.... Gotta be either All American Man or Rocket Ride

Going to to have to give both a listen to decide. Love'm both.

Rocket Ride gets my vote (after much deliberation). I always have a hard time NOT giving Ace my votes because his persona, charisma, songwriting and his guitar work is very VERY near and dear to my heart.

For some that may not know it, All American Man doesn't have one note played by Ace. This was the first time (that I'm aware of) where Kiss put out a song without one of it's original members, although didn't credit the actual guitarist until much later.

The guitarist? Bob Kulick.... older brother of 1984-1996 KISS lead guitarist, Bruce Kulick.

Here's a nice vid with Bob giving a bit of info on the song + playing the song.

That video of Bob is GREAT Lynch!!! Loved it!!!

It was right on the money....riffs, solos, tones. Yup all right there!!

actually, most of the tracks on Destroyer don't have Ace playing a single note. Crazy but true.

I thought it was just Sweet Pain which was Rick Derringer???

Dick Wagner (Alice Cooper) is the rumor I heard/read. Certainly not "most" of the album.

 

[METALPRIEST]

Yup Dick Wagner you're right man!!

Was checking it out over at KISSFAQ.

There is an interview with him about Destroyer and he syas that he played on Sweet Pain, Flaming Youth and Beth (acoustic guitar).
