I hate to say it, but when I was a kid I used to make fun of the band, 'KISS'... I found their make up to be completely odd, and a little feminine, so when I was a kid I used to make fun of them... But the truth is they are actually a pretty awesome band!

KISS, which stands for: 'Knight In Satan's Service' has a very awesome sound that was definite very defining of the music of the late 70s through the 80s. I found this out when I decided to pick the movie, Detroit Rock City (1999), which tells the story of a couple of High School guys and their misadventures as they are heading to a KISS concert... (As coincidence would have it, it turns out that the song I am reviewing here is part of the movie!)

And as for Detroit Rock City, this song, which was the third single from their 1976 album, 'Destroyer', a single that did not do well with critics but was truly a fan favorite (title which has remained to today, is a song that has appeared in a couple of the music based video games, including: Rock Band, and Guitar Hero 2. It has also been seen in a lot of other media venues as well as sporting events!

And as far as this song goes, it has a solid beat, that really does kick some butt! And as far seeing live... It can't be any better, if you haven't done so, I highly recommend it, it is a fun one!
