Love, and Hard Luck Woman. I think if you can find a decent copy for a lincoln, it's worth every penny. I still don't understand why my favorite track live off of this one is Makin' Love. Sample Mr. Speed. This 30 minutes of extra tasty bubblegum rock blows bigger bubbles than any of their other studio albums.
What can I say though, I Want You is an awesome opener, and each song is rockin. Casual fans will want I Want You, Calling Dr. Each song seems to have a formula: 2 minutes of rocking out, a 30-second guitar solo, and 30 seconds of the chorus being repeated forever. Eddie Kramer (minus KISS) produced the most fun material for these guys: Alive., this one, Ace Frehley's solo album. Speed to see if it's up your alley. One thing I never noticed before, was how much the shuffle guitar work in Take Me sounds similar to Love Em Leave Em.
I even like Baby Driver, and the hidden gem Mr.
All I can say is, if you're considering buying this album, don't wait. Rock and Roll Over is absolutely at the very top of my all-time favorite KISS albums. I'm talking about Calling Dr Love, and Makin' Love. But, let's not get ahead of ourselves here just yet.
The song also features a nice little drum solo at the very end by Criss. Yes. Buy it now. Next is the hard Rocker, Take Me, which again features some great guitar playing by all, accompanied by Paul Stanley's masterful vocals. Next up is Baby Driver which is sung by Peter Criss, and he does an excellent job on this Rocker, which also features a standout bass line by Gene, and of course great guitar work by Paul and Ace. Even more smoking guitars come flying at you in the next song, Mr.
It starts out fast and furious with the song titled I Want you, which is everything that you'd expect from a KISS Rock song, awesome guitar riffs, great singing, drumming.the works. KISS returns to it's roots with this amazing album doing what they do best, straight-forward, hard rockin' Rock N' Roll. The last song on the album is titled Makin' Love, and it is another heavy guitar-driven hard Rocker featuring the great Paul Stanley on vocals, and the legendary Space Ace Frehley doing what we love most and what he does best. Then comes See You in Your Dreams Tonight, another nice Rocker. Speed, which will definitely have you air guitarists out there strumming away madly. Which then brings us to Love 'Em and Leave 'Em, which is a nice little ditty sung by Gene Simmons, but the best part is the sensational super sonic Ace Frehley guitar solo. Tied at the number 1 spot in a threeway with their debut album, KISS, and KISS Dressed To Kill. You will be glad you did.
The best thing about this album is it's two love songs. And then we come to the above mentioned and totally amazing, Calling Dr. When all is said and done, this album flat-out Rocks your socks off. No, not Hard Luck Woman, or See You in Your Dreams, which are great songs in their own right. After that, Peter Criss sings his heart out again in the acoustical Hard Luck Woman, which is not a bad little song at all. Following this scorcher comes, Ladies Room, which is another song Gene Simmons sings, and it features more great guitar riffs, and bangin' drumwork by Peter Criss (With even more cool cowbells, Baby). The rest of the album is just as good. Love, which opens with it's fantastic power chords, and very cool cowbells, while Gene Simmons sings, "You need my love, Baby, Oh so bad." Everything about this song is total awesome Rock perfection, down to it's drums, and the background vocals, and especially when we get to the stunning Ace Frehley guitar solo towards the end of the song.
Speed' round out the album nicely. Hell, even Ace's solos have a little something extra here. The cartoonish antics were at an all time high here on Rock and Roll Over. This even feels like a cartoon title, but it doesn't matter when the group is releasing such killer rock n' roll as they are here on Rock and Roll Over. Love' is just fantastic. 'I Want You' starts things off proper, and keeps things rolling with 'Take Me' and the killer Kiss Klassic 'Calling Dr. 'Baby Driver' and 'Mr.
'Calling Dr. They are crisp and crunchy and among his best.
Though it was originally written for Rod Stewart I think it stayed in the right hands. His guitar riffs are most impressive.
The band had just relesed the majorly sucessful Destroyer which in my opinion is one of the groups weakest and most over produced albums to date. Musically Ace Frehley shines the most.
Over all this might be Kiss' second best album behind their awesome debut. Even the weak Criss track 'Hard Luck Woman' is decent here.
Love' which is among their greatest rockers.
Now they can hire better musicians to replace the deadbeats and, visually, no difference. Not many people know this, the LP cover is anamorphic but the record company didn't provide a conical mirror. Kiss is yeah yeah yeah with fuzzboxes.
"Calling Doctor Love" 8 days a week. Too phallic. Punch the clock.
Lunchboxes, bubblegum cards, TV cartoon show, toy guitars, wigs ~ blame the Beatles, not Kiss. Show business is something to show. When Paul McCartney died, Beatles put the same makeup on a different dude, too, so what.
The makeup gimmick. But better yet, with the makeup, 60-year-olds still look like 20-year-olds.
It's one of the best party albums you can get your hands on.If you do not own any of KISS' albums, I highly recommend that you purchase this album along with "Destroyer." Rarely does a band put out two legendary albums. This is pure, straightforward, rock and roll. The album cover was quite a bit different from previous KISS releases as well.
"Destroyer" is obviously a prime candidate, but not too long after its release, KISS gave us "Rock And Roll Over." While I do enjoy "Destoyer" and agree with many others that it is possibly KISS' best album, my heart always leans heavier to "Rock And Roll Over" as my personal favorite KISS offering.Why. Love." No matter where I am or what I'm doing, when that song hits the airwaves I have to sing along. KISS fans could argue forever as to which of the band's many albums is the best.
It also gave the world KISS' second most popular ballad (and a personal favorite), "Hard Luck Woman." On top of that, songs like "Take Me," "Ladies Room," "I Want You," "Love'em And Leave'em," and "Makin' Love" leave absolutely nothing to the imagination when it comes to what each song is about. KISS did it twice in the same year with "Destroyer" and "Rock And Roll Over." Add this album to your "essentials" collection today. There are multiple reasons.
Firstly, this album gave birth to one of the greatest rock tunes with a blatantly cheesy title in "Calling Dr.
