Rating: Ladies and Gentlemen, bow down to the album I'm about to review because the Kiss have really outdone themselves this time!!! And not in a negative sense, but in the most positive way ever!!!!
1993: the Kiss had just released "Revenge," the album of vengeance from all the mediocrity of the '80s. The album has metal sounds but also very hard rock and with some very nice ballads like "Every time I look at you." And now, on to the review!
The album I have in hand is scenically beautiful, and to be honest, I was a bit skeptical about the album's success; however, I insert the CD into the player. As in all respectable Kiss live shows, the lowest note of Gene's instrument can be felt. It's a pity, though, that the classic entrance "all right you wanted the best you got the best the hottest band in the land Kiss!" has been removed, so the immense double bass drum of Eric Singer's immense drum set immediately kicks in, followed by the guitars with "Creatures of the night!" The intro is explosive, full of life, and with a strong charge. Paul's voice is a little subdued and raspy, but the Starchild doesn't lower the tone of all the songs for this reason; instead, he uses it until the last vocal cord. The distortion the four adopt in the live show is the fuzz distortion metal, which makes the songs sound heavier than they are. Right after "Creatures," it kicks off at full speed with "Deuce." Gene's voice is well-calibrated and seems to have returned to his glory days, with Eric Singer behind the drums unleashing amazing fills that would make even our Tullio de Piscopo envious.
After "Deuce" comes a song from Revenge: "I just wanna," performed excellently and flawlessly. Bruce is always as precise as a Swiss clock in his solos, which makes the song much more beautiful than the studio version. Track number four is the dark "Unholy." Here Gene not only sings off-key but also lowers the pitch of the song, and in the second verse's chorus, he forgets the words and repeats the previous ones. By now, Gene is just a stage presence. The fifth song is "Heaven's on fire," obviously perfectly calibrated, and Paul's voice rarely goes off-key. After this, the Kiss perform a song from Hotter than hell, "Watchin' you," performed decently. Even though I've never liked this song, I must say they made me appreciate it since they've redone it much better than in the studio album. Another transition song after number six, which is "Domino," which they will also perform in the unplugged; the song isn't bad, but it wasn't suitable for a live show of this magnitude. "Domino" however, heats the crowd so much that the Kiss then perform "I was made for lovin' you": AMAZING is an understatement; just think that by changing distortion, even for this song, the danceable ballad of the "kiss" becomes almost an assault track full of strength and drive.
The crowd is so excited that they scream so loud they cover Paul and Bruce's guitars, and here comes "I still love you," always beautiful and even different, given that Eric Singer gives his best in this song, inventing fills where there weren't any before. The Kiss are back, and here comes "Rock and roll all nite" without the classic "drum intro," but only a three-hit strike on Singer's hi-hat. A blast of voices screaming and shouting madly covers the sound of the music played by the four, and here's "Lick it up" redone in a metal key, beautiful but what surprises the fans the most is the next song "Forever," one of the most beautiful Kiss songs, in my opinion the most beautiful, Bruce's acoustic guitar here takes on a romantic and classical attitude that suits him well. The Kiss get the crowd going and then play "Take it off," beautiful, aggressive, and very hard as a song; the intro is very nice with an arpeggio that smacks of classical music and a slow drum, but afterward, the true spirit of the Kiss is unleashed in a typically hard rock song. The songs continue, and here's "I love it loud" that fires up the crowd like never before, and then again "Detroit rock city" and "God gave rock 'n roll to you," the last song written with Eric Carr!! Full of emotions and very romantic. To beautifully conclude, the Kiss perform the American anthem in a rock key with only two guitars and fireworks.
What can I say! In front of this live performance, one is truly left speechless because there is nothing to say, rather it's better to stay silent and watch as a myth resurrects, because the Kiss are a myth, they are a band that even unmasked can drive you crazy with how they play. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Kiss in 1992 had just resurrected…
Tracklist and Lyrics
02 Deuce (03:42)
Get up
And get your grandma outta here
Pick up
Old Jim is workin' hard this year
And baby
Do the things he says to do
Baby, if you're feeling good
And baby if you're feeling nice
You know your man is workin' hard
He's worth a deuce
Honey
Don't put your man behind his years
And baby
Stop cryin' all your tears
Baby
Do the things he says to do
Do it
Baby, if you're feeling good
And baby if you're feeling nice
You know your man is workin' hard
He's worth a deuce
And baby, if you're feeling good
Yes baby if you're feeling nice
You know your man is workin' hard
Yeah
03 I Just Wanna (04:21)
I got a body built for sin and an appetite for passion
Yeah I can see the road to ruin and I'm lookin' for some action
I got my finger on the trigger and a match to the fuse
I'll make someone an offer that's too big to refuse
Tired of tryin' to be what I'll never be, baby, you could never see that
Chorus:
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance, I just wanna forget you
Time to take my chances, find somebody new
I just wanna fuh, I just wanna fuh, I just wanna forget you
I'm gonna set the night on fire, shootin' like a Roman Candle
Ooh yeah, I'm burnin' with desire and I'm much too hot to handle
I'm like a runaway, crazy train, I'm out of control
If you try to put the brakes on, I'm still gonna roll
Tired of tryin' to do what you want me to, baby, I'm just tired of you, yeah
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance, I just wanna forget you
Time to take my chances, find somebody new
I just wanna fuh, I just wanna fuh, I just wanna fuh
I just wanna forget you
Wake up, baby, don't you sleep, I can't take this one more week
If I can't go out to play, I can't make it one more day
I wanna play with dynamite, time is right for heavy breathing
Gettin' stone cold crazy till the dawn without a reason
I wanna take me a vacation down a long stretch of track
I'll find a new sensation and I ain't comin' back
Tired of tryin' to be what I'll never be, baby, you could never see that
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance
I don't want a romance, or a second chance
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance
I just wanna fuh, I just wanna forget
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance, I just wanna forget you
Time to take my chances, find somebody new
I just wanna fuh, I just wanna fuh, I just wanna forget you
I don't want a romance, I don't wanna dance, I just wanna forget you
Time to take my chances, find somebody new
I just wanna for, I just wanna for, I just wanna forget you
I just wanna forget you, yeah!
04 Unholy (03:43)
I was there through the ages
Chained slaves to their cages
I have seen you eat your own
I'm the cycle of pain
Of a thousand year old reign
I'm suicide and salvation
The omen to nations
That you worship on all fours
I'm the infection and famine
That's knocking at your door
That's why you're feeling so
Unholy
Oh, I was created by man, you know I'm....
Unholy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I am the incubus
I lay the egg in you
The worm that burrows
Through your braainn
But you are the beast
That calls me by my name
You send your children to war
To serve bastards and whores
So now you know
You created me
On the day that you were born
Unholy
I was created by man, yeah I'm the Lord of the flies, you know I'm
Unholy
From the left hand of power comes the father of lies
Unholy - Unholy!
I lay you down to sleep
Your soul to keep
Better cross your heart before you die
And now you know
Know that you are mine
That's why you're feeling so
Unholy, Unholy, Unholy - Unholy!!
05 Heaven's on Fire (04:01)
I look at you and my blood boils hot, I feel my temperature rise
I want it all, give me what you got, there's hunger in your eyes
I'm getting closer, baby hear me breathe
You know the way to give me what I need
Just let me love you and you'll never leave
Feel my heat takin' you higher, burn with me, Heaven's on fire
Paint the sky with desire, angel fly, Heaven's on fire
I got a fever ragin' in my heart, you make me shiver and shake
Baby don't stop, take it to the top, eat it like a piece of cake
You're comin' closer, I can hear you breathe
You drive me crazy when you start to tease
You could bring the devil to his knees
Feel my heat takin' you higher, burn with me, Heaven's on fire
Paint the sky with desire, angel fly, Heaven's on fire
Oho Heaven's on fire, oho Heaven's on fire, oho
I'm getting closer, baby hear me breathe
You know the way to give me what I need
Just let me love you and you'll never leave
Feel my heat takin' you higher, burn with me, Heaven's on fire
Paint the sky with desire, angel fly, Heaven's on fire
06 Watchin' You (03:35)
Limpin' as you do and I'm watchin' you
And you don't really know a-just what to do
You don't really know
You don't really know
What to do
And I'm standin' here not quite aware
And I'm tryin' baby, tryin' not to stare
Ooh, 'cause everybody else is here
Yes, everybody else is here
Everybody else is here
Watchin' you
Ooh, 'cause everybody else is here
Yes, everybody else is here
Everybody else is here
Watchin' us
07 Domino (03:46)
"Now lemme tell ya my story, I got a man-sized predicament
And it's a big one, goes like this, yeah"
My my, ow, yeah!
Never had confession, never had a home
Never had no worry, until I met Domino
Ain't the virgin Mary, love her I confess
Got my hesitations, 'cause she kisses like the kiss of death
Loves lots of money, back's against the wall
Calls me "Sugar Daddy", she knows she's got me by the balls
They call her Domino - "so fine"
Got a reputation, haven't got a hope
It's a sticky situation, if she ain't old enough to vote
Loves to play with fire, loves to hurt so good
Loves to keep me burnin', 'cause she's a bad habit, bad habit
Bad habit that's good, good, good
They call her Domino, Domino, Domino
"Every damn time I walk through that door, it's the same damn thing
That bitch bends over, and I forget my name - ow!"
Loves lots of money, back's against the wall
Calls me "Sugar Daddy", she knows she's got me by the balls - ow!
Loves to play with fire, love her I confess
Got no hesitations, cause she's a bad habit, bad habit, she's a bad habit!
"Yeah"

I gotta tell you what I'm feeling inside
I could lie to myself but it's true
There's no denying when I look in your eyes
Girl, I'm out of my head over you
I lived so long believeing all love is blind
But everything about you
Is telling me this time it's
CHORUS:
Forever, this time I know
And there's no doubt in my mind
Forever, until my life is through
Girl, I'll be loving you forever
I hear the echo of the promise I made
When you're strong you can stand on your own
But those words grow distant as I look at your face
No, I don't wanna go it alone
I never thought I'd lay my heart on the line
But everything about you
Is telling me this time it's
REPEAT CHORUS
Solo
Oh
I see my future when I look in your eyes
It took your love to make my heart come alive
Cause I lived my life believing all love is blind
But everything about you is telling me this time it's
REPEAT CHORUS (2X)
