She (Kiss Song)
"She" is a song by American hard rock group Kiss. It was released in 1975 on the band's third studio album, '' Dressed to Kill''. The song was written by Gene Simmons and Stephen Coronel while Simmons was in a band called Bullfrog Bheer. Although it was first released in 1975, Kiss had performed "She" on previous tours. It was removed from the setlist during the 1980s and the 1990s. Background Coronel was the originator of the song, with Simmons contributing the words and lyrics during an evening rehearsal with Wicked Lester. The song was originally called "She Walks by Moonlight", after a line in the film ''Hondo'' where, as Simmons said: 'I want your daughter.' he chief said:'You may not have my daughter.' he cowboy said:'Why not?' he chief said:'She walks by moonlight.' And that's the first line of the song. I didn't even know what it meant, I just loved the sound of it. The Wicked Lester version of the song is 3:07 in length, while the later '' Dressed to Kill'' version is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Five To One
"Five to One" is a song by American rock band the Doors, from their 1968 album ''Waiting for the Sun''. The song's lyrics were written by lead singer Jim Morrison, though the songwriting credit identified each member of the Doors as songwriters. Composition Unlike some of the Doors tracks, "Five to One" was created in the studio. According to music journalist Gillian G. Gaar, the song originated during a session when Morrison asked drummer John Densmore to lay down a 4/4 beat to which he inserted the lyrics. The song is consistently applied at 4/4 time signature, accompanied by a distorted sound of drums and bass. The tune features a rhythm and blues rhyme, and has been considered as an origin of the heavy metal genre. Critic Matthew Greenwald of AllMusic described Robby Krieger's guitar playing as "a menacing, proto-heavy metal", and on "top of that, John Densmore's relentless, almost march-rhythm drums take the song through various sections with a convincing power."

Double Platinum (Kiss Album)
''Double Platinum'' is the first greatest hits album by the American hard rock band Kiss, released in 1978. Many of the songs on ''Double Platinum'' were remixed and differed from their original versions: in the case of "Strutter," it was re-recorded with a slight disco beat and dubbed "Strutter '78." Other songs ("Hard Luck Woman," "Detroit Rock City") had sections completely removed, while the beginning of " Black Diamond" was repeated at the end, fading out at the start of the first verse and giving the song a "wrap around" feel. The Japanese single release of "Strutter '78" includes a different version to that on the album: faster and shorter, with an altered guitar solo, plus a more prominent hi-hat (cymbal) sound throughout. Release and reception The original vinyl release, in a gatefold sleeve, had an embossed, silver-foiled sleeve, with the band members in bas-relief inside. The album was packaged with a printed "Platinum Award" thanking the Kiss Army for making the ban ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
