Favourite kiss ballads.

Not sure if some qualify as ballads though

1= tonight you belong to me (is it a ballad)?
1= I still love you
3 a million to one (is it a ballad)?
4. Going blind
5. Sure know something (but not sure it's a ballad either)

Great picks, Dino... here are mine:

1. A Million To One (yes, a power ballad and Vinnie's solo rocks)
2. Always Near You/Nowhere To Hide (love the opening chords)
3. Nowhere To Run (should've been played live on Creatures tour. Great Bob K. solo)
4. Tears Are Falling (killer Bruce solo too)
5. Odyssey (love Paul's simple but effective guitar solo)
6. Back On The Streets (from COTN with Vinnie and Paul trading lead vocals... Carr pounding the drums and Gene insisting Cusano's ankh face be on the album cover... oh well, a guy can dream

Great Post Kev!

Those are all great songs!

1. Tears are fallin'
2. A million to one
3. Beth
4. Only you
5. mhm...the rest is not mine or in my mind

Great everyone. Odyssey is a good forgotten tune. It's a cover I believe. No where to run great too. I thought paul did that solo but yeah I guess kulick. I think bob kulick was great. Only you I forgot too, great one

Thanx Kev!

I almost said Only You. Of course A World Without Heroes and Paul's solo rule. Also Under The Rose and Peter's I Can't Stop The Rain are good ones.

Yeah, I believe all four of the new Killers tracks were just Bob, Eric and Paul (with Paul handling bass too).

"Feels like Heaven"!!!! That's a ballad isn't it?

I will agree from the standpoint that this is most likely the most honest and heartfelt song Paul has ever written.
A few of us are lucky enough to understand this tune.

When you have a child you will understand what he mean I think

AMEN.

First time I ever heard that. Did kiss play it live?

Good question. Don't find it on youtube...but that seems nothing..

KISS never played 'I Will Be There' live.

Nothing from Carnival Of Souls has been played live. Kiss had moved on to the reunion already and COS got left behind.

Only UNION has played COS material.

Maybe a good kiss cruise tune. I.bet gene hates the song

Although I can understand someone relating to the lyrical content of I Will Be There, it along with Forever and Every Time I Look At You just never did anything for me. Can't say it's cause they're sappy cause I love Hold Me, Touch Me (and Paul's Lukather-type-phrasing-guitar solo).

I won't even mention that crap ballad Peter had to sing on Thycho Thircus or that cheese fest from the DRC soundtrack.

Amen.HMTM is a classic in my ears. I catch myself singing the opening line a lot.


As for ,'I Will Be There', although it isn't a favorite of mine,I respect the lyrics as well as the brilliant acoustic playing by Paul and Bruce. Great performance.
SUBSTANCE that you can enjoy on every spin.

Forever was pain for me. I remember it had lots of mtv play and I would switch off. I was a huge kiss fan as well.

Sure Know Something for me is the best KISS rock-ballad
