Shinedown’s ‘Planet Zero’ is ready for a spin. I like getting the album before it is officially released. Continue reading “Kiss – ‘Greatest Kiss’ (1997) – Album Review (The Kiss Review Series)” → It had a ton of explosions and fireworks and you hear every last pop. It was recorded at Tiger Stadium in Detroit, MI on Jand was the show opener. And there is only one previously unreleased track which is “Shout it Out Loud” that was recorded the prior year while on tour. version only covers the time frame of 1974-1980, the make-up years with the four original members. Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer God gave rock and roll to you Gave rock and roll to you Put it in the soul of everyone God gave rock and roll to you Gave rock and roll to you Saved rock and roll for everyone Love your friend and love your neighbour Love you life and love your labor No it's never too late to change your mind Don't step on snails, don't climb in. I don’t think it was ever certified Gold or anything like that because let’s be honest, this is not a good greatest hits package. This one was released on Apand it only hit #77 on the Billboard Charts. Kiss in 1997 was still touring the Alive / Worldwide Tour and to keep pushing out product for cash grabs, they dumped on us a total worthless pile of dung called ‘Greatest Kiss’. Taking a gift from God (via Russ Ballard): Paul Stanley, Vinnie Vincent, Eric Carr, Gene Simmons. First recorded by: Argent (as God Gave Rock And Roll To You), 1973 Written by: Russ Ballard.

Sadly, the 50th review is this pile of crap. GOD GAVE ROCK AND ROLL TO YOU II From divine origins to loud guitars (and Bill & Ted), its writer reflects on the song made into a megahit by Kiss.

So again please check your facts before you print something.Welcome to the 50th Review in the Kiss Review Series and we aren’t even close to being done. I love both Petra’s versions and Kiss’s version! I also love the fact that the Kiss version is the last video with the late great Eric Carr. Thier change of the lyrics only reflected thier spiritual beliefs. As far as the lyrics of Petra’s version thier is nothing wrong with changing the lyrics. The second incarnation of the song was more to the style of the 80’s rock keyboard sound. Petra’s first incarnation of the song was actually very close to the original song (music) wise.

Kiss did not cover the song until the Bill and Ted movie in 1991 and then they also put on the Revenge album also in 1991. God Gave Rock & Roll To You lyrics: God gave rock and roll to you, gave rock and roll to you Put it in the soul of everyone. The first being on thier 1977 album “Come And Join Us” and the second being thier hugely successful album “Beat The System” in 1984. In fact Petra has covered it twice in two different styles. Being a huge Kiss fan since I was 7 years old and being a christian who has been a huge Petra fan since I was about 15 years old I can tell you that Petra covered God Gave Rock and Roll To You long before Kiss ever dreamed of doing it. You really need to get your facts straight before writing.

With vaguely fortuitous timing, rumour has it that Argent will embark on a full tour in the not-so-distant future, which will please the Bob Harrises amongst you.Īnyway, enough chat. Of course, being Christians, they couldn’t help but meddle with the words to fit the agenda and the godly version has rewritten lyrics. However, it was non-Zombie Russ Ballard who penned ‘God Gave Rock ‘n’ Roll To You’ which of course, went onto be a giganto hit for Gene Simmons & Co.Īfter Kiss brought the song out of retirement, the track went onto become something of a Contemporary Christian rock anthem (covered by the Christian Rock outfit Petra).

Remember them? They did ‘She’s Not There’ and ‘Time of the Season’ and weirdly, were one of Elvis’s favourite bands in the whole world. However, the song was originally released in 1973 by Argent, which had some rather famous people behind the kit themselves.īetween the band members and songwriters for Argent were a couple of members of ace ’60s group, The Zombies. One of the ways that the band attracted attention to themselves around this time was to get out the cotton wool balls and take all their make-up off, leaving everyone to coo about how painfully ordinary they looked. You probably remember this song from ‘Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey’ as performed by Kiss. Which means of course, facing people who did know so they can roll their eyes and cuh! “I though everyone knew that!” And this time, we’re looking at a stadium rock classic in ‘God Gave Rock ‘n’ Roll To You’. It’s time to tell you about a song you didn’t know was a cover, again.
