The reason the solo doesn't sound like Ace is because Sean Delaney wrote and recorded that song uncredited. According to an interview that he gave years ago, before his death. He didn't mention playing the solo, but he did mention it being a song that he co-wrote and recorded without getting credit. If it wasn't for Sean Delaney, there would have never been a band named "Kiss." However, the solo could have been written by Paul. But there's no doubt that Ace didn't come up with that solo. I still love this tune the same though. Great lesson, Chris. Peace.. Joe
Good to know. I knew Delaney had a lot to do with many aspects of KISS. It doesn't surprise me that he was co writing with them too. Thanks for the info man. 🙂👍
Sean Delaney Speaks! :Julian: Kiss FAQII Just asked Sean a few questions... while he didn't address all of what I asked, he did make some interesting comments. Attached also is a current pic of him. I asked: "When and how did you become involved with KISS?" Sean: "You wanted to know when I first went to work for the fab four. Well I never worked for them. Bill Aucoin and I were roommate's back in the early Seventies 1969-1980. That's right 11 years. I had been the lead singer of several successful groups in the NYC area, "Sean Delaney and Trust" (we had landed a contract with Electra Records) and a group called "Natural Juice" that landed a contract with Columbia records. In fact the band was discovered by Clive Davis. Bill Aucoin was my roommate and BEST friend. I also had a company called the "Music Dept." with a man named Howard Marks. This was before KISS. Neil Bogart was a personal FRIEND of mine. So, you can see by the facts that I was there before Kiss. Gene had sent us a phoney press release and press packet. Listing all the places they had been playing and REVIEWS of their performances. ALL were BOGUS. I remember laughing and telling Bill, " if they have gone to this extent to get our attentions, let's go see them." and we did." "I am the man that choreographed the entire band and SHOW from the very beginning. That means when I met Gene, he did not move like a demon, or did Paul prance and dance like a She-He. Their hair was not tinted black nor did they have a SHOW. all that came out of my imagination." I asked: "And lastly, what about the book that you've be rumored to have been working on? Is it completed and if so, have you found a publisher? Any anticipated publishing date? And what scope of material will be covered?" Sean: " The name of the book I am writing has a title. "Sean Delaney, The Fifth Kiss" Instead of me just writing the book myself, it has been written by an investigative reporter who has interviewed everyone that was there in the first 3 years. (except those who are dead) That means that he has taken their interviews and compared them to my story. MY STORY is the true one. not me making it up. All of the other books are about KISS long after we had made it. This book is about it all, all the ghosts, and hidden secrets, who's who, who did what with what and to whom. INCLUDING ME! It's about the good time and the bad time, Sacred and Evil. What really happened, how it happened and the players." I Asked: "Did you ever record any demos with any of the band members? Or appear uncredited on any work?" Sean: "to answer one last question about did I ever record and not be given credit. HELL YES! I co-wrote Love Gun, I want you, Rock Bottom! Choreographed and staged the shows from the beginning up until Creatures album. I only worked with the real kiss not the spin offs." I thought you might find this interesting. Peace..
@@ChristopherCox He was and is known as the fifth Kiss member. His story is really interesting. Look him up sometime when you have the chance. It will definitely make you laugh. Thanks again for another killer tune. "I Stole Your Love" would be a great lesson in the future. Take good care. Peace..
Such a great tune! Thanks for this one, Chris! I will enjoy having tabs for this, and no worries if it takes a little time to get them put up on Patreon. Have a great weekend!
I just watched the intro solo. Man, you sure nailed it.🤘✨✨ I'll definitely be coming back to finally put that solo in my pocket. Thanks in advance brother 🤘
Thank you so much Tom. This one I thought was one of the more challenging KISS tunes I've worked on in a while, but really fun to play. Paul was and still is am sure an amazing song writer. Thanks again man 🙏
Hey Chris! Love these older classics they wrote man, After the Love Gun album they just lost something. I think it was just probably a mix of a few things and not just one, Peter and Ace leaving, the arguments, the madness in general ahah! I do know Paul wrote most of the songs an even though he didn't leave the band obviously everything changed. By the time it was in the 80's I just wasn't as into them as I was anymore. With albums like The Elder coming out I was really listening to bands like AC / DC more, anyhows this is turning into a long winded babble here lol...... Thanks for doing this one, I knew a few parts of this one but I never bothered learning the entire thing so now there's no excuse! 🤣
Thank you man. I appreciate it. I love all eras of KISS, but for me the 73-82 was my favorite time period. I like a lot of the 80s KISS, but Gene wasn't contributing the same level of material he was in the first 10 years. Songs like Cadillac Dreams, Any Way You Slice It just to name a few weren't that great. Musically I liked those tunes, but melody and lyrically not so much.
