Behind the scenes: their problem bc with that "50 shades of Grey" hype this would have been the perfect soundtrack :D ;D ;D ;D

My voice is way too soft for a rocker like this so I had George in mind who did a great job on it! Soon after posting it here Glummi and Todd jumped on board and this is what came out. I beefed it up with "some" of "producer" gadgets here and there ^-^ >:D

George aka GuitarGeorge: Lead and BU-Vocals
Glummi: Bass
Todd: Drums
Henry: Guitars, BUvocals, mix, master, arrangement, production

Wow - guys! What a cool rocker!!

An intro which grabs attention, solid hard rock crunch of the verses, then a huge chorus hook, not to forget the effective production magic makes this one rock.

Great vocal from the "artist now known as Napolean Das Boot", great rhythm section from Todd and Glummi (love the bass sound), and tasteful guitar solos and fills adorn the sound. The lyrics are nicely tongue in cheek.

The songs too good for Kiss anyways.

One for the i-pod!!

Great fun!
George can often be found playing stringy things, and singing...

sounds pretty cool.
i hear a little Alice Cooper in the vox.
nice job.
rock-n-roll ain't pretty --- that's why they picked us to play it.

I keep a little Alice Cooper in my back pocket for just such occasions.

I have to be careful to take him out when I sit down so he doesn't get squashed.

Super collaboration, guys.

Doc - you really pulled out all the stops for this one. Your saucy production has brought Donna's story to life.

Tasty playing and singing from all the band assembled and I'm astounded this didn't make it on to the Kiss shortlist.....or did it?

p.s. I think a video of this would be worth watching  :-*

Thanks, guys!  :) You did a great job with this.  :D
Andy, I agree - it's too good for KISS.  :)

Billy, Stan  (in the US) told me that the band had heard Doc's original demo and liked it, but there was no further word.

I posted this in a few other muso sites I visit, and got some great feedback:

*****

Way too cool. Definitely has that KISS sound. Especially with that Eric Carr bass drum and fills going on. The only difference being that you sing better than Gene or Paul. Yes, I did say that out loud.

*****

Great song George. Some of verses have a Phil colins vibe in places then it goes full on 80's rock. I love it

*****

Not going to get too deep on my opinion of Kiss here, but they would have done themselves a favor to record this song and put it on a new album. Very anthem-esque and it really captures their cultural impact lyrically. Seems like a real good song to make them more current while honoring the past.

All involved did a great job here, vocals were great. Definitely could see/hear them taking this on with a video of fans and their "pre show rituals" dressing up, etc...

*****

Fantastic song George, top knotch vocals, the vibe and style is the sort of thing I love listening too, great guitar solo in there. The whole thing was put together so well and quality in the recording. Also loved listening to this. Congrats to all involved making this!

*****

I had no idea you wore all those naughty things George! Seriously mate great job here, not sure Kiss would have done as well

*****

Wear black to the party!! ♫ ♪ - Love it!

Yeah, no idea why Kiss would turn this down for anything - other than the Gothic element. Maybe they don't want to do with anything Gothic. *shrugging shoulders*

*****

Fantastic tune George, the usual polished quality vocals and the tune is right up my street, this is certainly a track I can imagine the likes of Paul Stanley and Co. knocking out. Loved the solo too, superb stuff and very well put together. top marks from me Bro.

Hey this is a stunning little number.  I must confess to never knowingly listened to a KISS song, but I can imagine Doc parading around in makeup and sticking his tongue out.

I think the chorus is great , really top drawer and another rockin' vocal from GG tops it off nicely.

Hat's off to you all for this one.
