Great episode. Just received the Anniversary vinyl today. On a side note, I can't believe that I just found your channel. I have been watching/listening to all your "Rock Shot" the last few days. Listening to you guys talk about this music and your stories, I swear I have a lot of the same stories/opinions. Looking forward to getting through all your old episodes and what is coming next. Thanks Randy!
They put Got To Choose / Watching You / Parasite / Hotter Than Hell and Let Me Go Rock n Roll on Kiss Alive could easily thrown in Strange Ways And Coming Home too 🤟
My interpretation of the lyrics to HTH is ".... I looked at her and it was much too clear. She had to sit on my face" and "....there's one thing you should know, she showed me her girlfriend..."
Going Blind by the MELVINS is a punishingly steamrolling cover off of their Houdini album in 1993 is actually better than most bands ever ( akin to Type O Negative’s version of the Seals & Croft’s song Summer Breeze and you should definitely check it out for yourselves. I think you hit the nail on the head with this theory about Gene rubbing one out to a 13 year old girl and that old wive’s tale is spot on! 😂 Rush I Think I’m Going Bad is hilariously right there in their own series of humour about them teasing Alex on his worrying over that happening to him when he was just a twenty something, right? Usually won’t really watch podcasts except if I love the topic; however you two guys have made me hour go by way too quickly and I enjoyed swinging down memory lane with both of you as well. So when I wanted the Alive! Lp for Christmas at the age of 8-9; they’d been sold out of it so I received from my mum Hotter Than Hell instead and although I being just a kid was a bit disappointed? Strange Ways was clearly the greatest solo and the heaviest track off the album next to Parasite + Got To Choose from the more talented writer of all 4 of them Ace Frehley naturally wrote mostly all of the best songs and especially influenced Me into giving into this filthy thing we call the music industry. Period! The solo in Strange Ways is still played the exact same way he’s been doing it for 50 years live with a phase shifter and a kind of flange affected wah wah Crybaby? Please!

I think it's a really solid effort and a fun listen but you can tell it's an amateur production. It really hammers home though, how awesome it would have been, if the band could have done a professional remix with the master recording...too bad :(
I loved this LP when I was 11 and still love it today at 60!
@@caseyeisenman 100%. Thanks for watching Casey!
@@beerrumrocknrolleasy on the swearing....it makes you both look like you never got out of elementary school.
@@beerrumrocknrollthe age line in going blind was an off comment to gene for the song by Paul....which gene decided to use.

I was 5 yrs old! At my cousins they had it and I was hepmitized listening to it at staring at the front and back cover this introduced me to KISS!
Of the first 6 studio albums 'Hotter than Hell' will always be my go to. A lot of people don't like the production sound but that's my draw to it.

From the first time I heard it in '77 or '78, this has always been my favorite Kiss album.

Huge KISS FAN! Hands down my favorite KISS album🤘🤘🤘🤘
Fantastic album and it has first place for me of the first 3 studio albums 👍

Imagine this album with an Eddie Kramer or a Dressed to Kill style production. It would easily be their masterpiece
@@charlesbronson4282 Totally agree Charles!
Kiss Alive is Brilliant it is just perfect ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My favorite studio album. I believe the original title of the album was gonna be "The Harder They Come"..... WATCHIN US!!!!
"overrated as a person, underrated as a bass player"😂 that is spot on!
WHY YOU SAY THAT?
@Vonhoganschmidt-13 I didn't say that, they did and it's funny

Totally!

Watching You is up there with Deuce it is one of Gene Simmons greatest
Just a guess - all instrument trax were slowed down to A flat etc via tape machine speed AFTER being recorded to A mistakingly, THEN, vox added??
@@gwb2012 Interesting…🤔

What do you guys think about the FranKenstein remix?
