Ok was working in the shop on a guitar listening to Hotter than hell, and was thinking this album has the best flow to it and every song is really good, some great but none really bad. Just the perfect 70s rock and roll album.

Buy the way, "working on a guitar" " Listening to Hotter than hell " "gonna do some jamming in a bit" fuck I love my life.

Vic and I have debated this but when evaluating Kiss, Hotter Than Hell and Dressed To Kill (The Original 3) my preference is Hotter Than Hell for many of the reasons that you have stated in your post. It is really a solid album and in my opinion one of the best Kiss Albums in the entire catalog. Great songs!

It's a great underated record. Love the final part of hotter than hell song that starts just before the solo. Great sound.

I would like to hear some recordings of vv playing the hotter than hell solo on the 82 tour.

The thing about ace is I never have faith in him and he comes out of nowhere with a great solo or song. The guy shouldn't be good but he is. Makes no sense.

Hotter Than Hell is in the top three for me.

It's a great Kiss album for sure. They should be playing more from it live, especially the title track.

How classic is Let Me Go Rock n Roll? Total jamfest on Alive!

I've always thought this. Strange Ways and Parasite are probably two of my fave tunes of his. Why they never played Strange Ways live is beyond me... it's a killer tune and they could've thrown Ace and Peter a bone by adding that one song to the set.

I've read there's supposedly a version of Strange Ways recorded for Alive with Gene on vocals. The only version I've seen is this one:

Would've been perfect for the Revenge tour too...

The first album was great but the songs have been played to death. I like dressed to kill a lot . Come on and love me was a favourite for a long time.
Hotter than hell is the darkest record along with creatures for me.

Dino just named TWO out of my top 3.

Do I win anything?

You win a BLOWIE from this fella. Don't worry, his teeth don't hurt ,although he wasted a lil' of my lovin' on his cheek.

Ya I think in some ways .. Strange ways was ahead of its time very dark and metal especially for 1974.

did they perform hth in the cotn tour ???

HTH has always been one of my favorites since I first heard it. Glad to know there's other fans of it.

HTH I think is the album that Ace Frehley became Ace Frehley...if that makes any sense.
