Rumor has it that Vinnie is having me over for a sleep-over party jam in about a week or so.

I assume that was rumored for VVI?

Funny that Ed trunk recommended Stanley play that song on his solo tour and Simmons didn't even remember the song!!!

One of the best stanley/Cusano songs IMO

There's a good chance he didn't remember! He forgets words to songs he sings every night! :lol: :lol: :lol:

He probably didn't even play on it either! Since Kiss used to swap instruments when they recorded in the studio!

Hey, no link. Just remember reading it on Eddie Trunks website while Stanley was doing his tour a few years back. No doubt Simmons didnt play on the song BUT I know it was played on the LIU tour. Not after that.

It is a better studio song vs. live IMO

Such a good song. Good vocals. There was a reason to be a kiss fan back then. Now, not so much :x

A Million to One was great live on Paul's solo tour of a few years back. Fantastic in Sydney and on the video he released. Paul really sang his ass off on it, just like on the record.

I saw Paul night 2 at the Palais in Melbourne & he & his band were incredible... Good times!

Why KISS never released A Million To One as a single and video back in 83/84 was beyond me... could've been a hit... killer tune.

just reading this. I think its incorrect that a million to one was played live with Kiss. As far as I know it was never played live until Paul played it in 2006.

agree with you, hit for sure. 3rd single, it should have been

I think the 80s and 90s KISS made really bad decisions on song choices for singles and videos.

Lick it Up • Heavens on Fire • Tears are Falling • Crazy Crazy Nights • Reason to Live • Forever • God Gave Rock n Rock to you II... I think they did ok with singles choices through the 80's/90's.. There were a few hits there & they actually peaked in the UK after unmasking and had several unmasked hits especially Crazy Crazy Nights & God Gave both going top 10...
