- While one could argue that “Love Gun” remains Paul Stanley’s crowning achievement, at least as a songwriter for the band KISS, we defer to Seann Williams Scott’s character in the film Role Models for his astute analysis as to what this song might be about if you can’t figure it out, yourself! For this week’s Full Band Friday, watch the CME House Band-featuring Chris Conway giving us his best Ace Frehley impression (wait for the face he makes during the guitar solo!)-take on this anything-but-cryptic KISS classic!

More About "Love Gun"
"Love Gun" is a song by the American rock band Kiss, first released on their 1977 album of the same name. The B-side is the album track "Hooligan", a song written by drummer Peter Criss. Paul Stanley, who sings lead vocals on the song, has claimed in several interviews since its release that it is one of his favorite Kiss songs, offering the opinion that "'Love Gun' is quintessential Kiss, and is probably one of the five signature essential Kiss songs." Stanley has also said that "The Hunter" section of the Led Zeppelin song "How Many More Times" inspired the lyrics of "Love Gun". Stanley plays bass on the track in addition to singing and playing rhythm guitar. Billboard described it as having a "high energy level" with "power guitar riffs." Cash Box said that it "has cute lyrics, and the army of Kiss admirers should jack it up to respectable chart status." "Love Gun" has been played on every Kiss tour since its release, and has made numerous appearances on Kiss live albums and compilation albums, despite the fact that it peaked at only no. 61 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Freaking Outstanding guys & Starchild ;-) I still remember may First Kiss concert in Jax. Fl. when the Double Live album came out.
🤘🤘
BEST LOVE GUN !!
thank you!!
What a fun cover! Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning.
This was amazing!! Everything from the make up to the music to the fact you guys all seemed to have fun, this was such a great cover :)
just a kick-ass cover of one of my favorite kiss songs you cats perfected that great job as always.
Absolutely killer. Long live KISS!!!!
Got the bandit makeup reference!! Kiss rocked my world in 4th Grade!! Gear still influenced by them and the gateway drug they were to all the other great bands I grew up with!! Awesome as usual guys!!!!!!!✌️❤️❤️
So great! You guys always get a great sound n great vibe! These version could go to spotify also. Cheers!
Love your videos…Wish you were around in the 70’s , and I had money to travel to Chicago and not to mention $$$ for gear..!
Keep the videos and high energy going….!
Incredible! Absolutely loved this one!
Fantastic! That was lots of fun
Such a fun one to play
So great!!
Hell frickin' yeah guys!!! That kicked ass!!
That is easily one of my favorite solos of all time. What beats it you ask? In the #2 slot is the solo from “Dancing in the Moonlight” (Thin Lizzy). #1 belongs to Jimi Hendrix and “All Along the Watch Tower” which is legit, three solos in one.
Best one yet!!!
"Paul" Went with the very short lived 'Bandit' makeup, nice old school nod.
That was TIGHT!!! ✌🏽❤️🎸🍄
Bombastic and brilliant!
Nah I absolutely love it very very cool
Awww yeah!!!! Love it!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Thank you!!
Laurel rocks
🤘🤘
Fun!
Blood capsule for the win!
Fun stuff!
F#@K YES ! ! !
Hell yeah!!!!
THAT was f^*^%%++#ing SUPERB!!
💪
Fucking what?
This totally rules.
Looks like they had fun with this one.
can't wait for the outfits when you do Mudvayne 😂
Awesome!
Nice job! Special props go to Tanner for using Paul Stanley's original "Bandit" make up.
Starchild's voice really suits this genre, which is good because so do her pants.
Holy face paint! That was way more KISS than actual KISS these days! #nobackingtracks
That Guy did the lone ranger make up😮 this is a fan thing
DOOOOPE🙏🏻
the "tongue exercises" are a very important part of this rig.
Better than the original. Laurels vocals give it a great twist and actually make it cooler and less cheesy
Sounds like a Pat Benetar song!
Brinks 😮😢
❤❤❤❤
That other guitar player should have had Vinnie Vincent’s character on his face, but that was an awesome cover regardless. Great job guys.
Not sure Muddy Waters would’ve done it that way but you aced the audition to get the party started.
Gene has that Angus Young thing going on.
Damn Laurel 😮
Gene Simmons on Bass went all in on the face makeup and blood. #ChicagoRockCity
fun cover, nathaniel? mixing not quite there
Gene just bit his tongue at the end.. c'mon .. :😜
needs a gibson grabber or ripper
Smoking hot!!
What no backing tracks.
Laurel Starchild the cat's meow ...🎵r0ck0n CME FBF's 🎵
You guys even have a make up artist on staff? Talk about a full service music store !!!
May your Love gun always eject properly
oh god , no
Falta energia a la voz...
Mmm dont like
This is the worst cover that i have heard!
