Conte.\r\nRecording information: Bell Sound Studios, New York, NY (10\/1973).\r\nPhotographer: Joel Brodsky.\r\nKiss' penchant for make-up was inspired by their downtown New York neighbors the New York Dolls and by Alice Cooper, who was on top of the glam-rock world when Kiss' self-titled debut came out in 1974. Rather than dress in drag as the Dolls did, Kiss fashioned their look on a mix of sci-fi and horror films, and the rock \u0026amp; roll of their youth. They fashioned their music on willful hard-rock arrogance. Several songs on KISS became staples in the group's catalog. \"Strutter,\" about a beautiful woman with a confident swagger, mirrored the attitude of the band, and it contained the first of many incendiary Ace Frehley solos.\r\nThe album also contains \"Cold Gin,\" Ace's signature song; \"Deuce,\" with its quintessential sexual posturing and fiery soloing; and \"Black Diamond,\" Paul Stanley's epic tribute to a streetwalker with a hardscrabble life. Kiss' hunger to succeed resulted in some interesting recording choices, such as transforming teen idol Bobby Rydell's \"Kissin' Time\" into a stomper with singalong choruses typical of early-'70s pop. There's even an instrumental, \"Love Theme From Kiss,\" a showcase for the quartet's musical synchronicity. It was the beginning of a long and influential career.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Pop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 07\/15\/1997\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46186968056049,"sku":"O7B1FR-N5XZ-I0","price":15.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4401\/5345\/files\/kiss-kiss_a5d9i.jpg?v=1748730956","url":"https:\/\/outofthepastrecords.com\/products\/kiss-kiss","provider":"Out of the Past Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
