Rock and Roll over is probably my faforite Kiss-Album. Great Produktion for the time. ACE Frehley absolutly nailed it with his great solos. I was never a big Fan of Destroyer. Keep on rocking and greetings from Germany. 🇩🇪👍🤘🎸🍻🌍
@damnwicked666 If I were to compare the ballads, Beth vs. Hard Luck Woman, HLW would definitely rate much higher. I can't remember what you gave it now...lol. If Beth wouldn't have become what it did in KISStory, and as overplayed almost as much as Rock n Roll All Nite, I migt like it more. Sometimes you can only take so much...lol. I probably would rate God of Thunder higher too, if only for the uptempo live version which I prefer way more.
@@SonicVR12 I gave Hard Luck Woman a 7.5. It is actually a really good song but I probably down-played it because of the mellower style. I like it better than Beth. I like God Of Thunder a lot but I get bored with it, maybe because I’ve heard it so much and it plods along at a slower tempo. I’m not sure why I feel that way.
@damnwicked666 I agree, GOT definitely plods along at that slow tempo. I really dig the live version. Curious question, how far into KISS history do you follow? Any of the 80s or 90's? Or does it end with the original lineup?
@@SonicVR12 I’ve been following the whole KISS journey, all the way til the end. I’m still watching interviews with Paul, Ace and Gene. I’ll even check out what Bruce Kulick and Vinnie Vincent are doing every once in a while. The first KISS album I remember hearing was Destroyer, but it’s possible I heard Alive! or one of the 3 originals before that and I just can’t remember.
These are the KISS classic albums. I'd give 9s or 10s to the majority of the songs. Sure there's a few crappers like Beth and Baby Driver but these albums ROCK!
? Baby Driver? WTF. How is that a crapper? I like Peter's voice as much as the other two and more of a Rock and Roll style than Gene or Paul. Great lyrics and the hook is excellent. I have it on my play list when I ride my motorcycle. R&R Over was meant specifically to get away from the polish of Bob Ezrin, and to be more in line with Dressed to Kill. Destroyer was like the Elder, with Bob being the 5th member of the band (Ace hated it). Dressed to Kill and R&R Over are your classic Kiss albums. Dressed to Kill is my favorite studio album, and R&R Over is a very close 2nd. PS Don't hate on Beth. It brought them to super stardom.
Now that you mention it, I think you’re right. It was a common practice back in the 50s, 60s 70s and 80s. I’m glad you brought my attention to that because now I wanna compare the song fade-outs on Rock And Roll Over with Destroyer’s song fade-outs.

Rock n Roll Over...Take Me 10 out of 10! Makin' Love should be higher.
Yeah, I should have put it a bit higher. I might’ve rated Ladies Room and Hard Luck Woman a bit too low also.

Destroyer is superior...
But imagine Rock n Roll Over (or Love Gun) with Bob Ezrin producing
That would be VERY interesting!

Yes, they’re both great albums, worthy of high marks!

@@ComradeJetski Yes, Dressed To Kill is a great album too!
every single song on RnR Over is extended by 30-45 seconds by repeating the chorus over and over and over and fading out.

Rock and Roll Over is the better album. A lot of the songs on Destroyer have been played to death.
Destroyer wins
I can't argue with that. Both great albums though!
