Kiss of Death
There must be a behind the scenes story of this band. The lead guitarist, Tommy Thayer eventually became the lead guitar for KISS. Peter Criss appears on this thing as a vocalist and it was produced by Gene Simmons. But his joining up to work with them was still a decade away as written in the Thayer Wiki: “In 1994, Kiss' Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley hired Thayer to work part-time on their forthcoming book Kisstory, which led to other projects and eventually a full-time role with Kiss. Thayer's work for Stanley and Simmons began by performing such tasks as painting Stanley's house and cleaning out Simmons' gutters”.
So.
You’ve got your own band.
Fairbairn produces the sophomore album.
Kiss guys get involved.
It goes nowhere.
You session for a bunch of people.
Then you get hired to work on a Kiss book.
Then you are basically Paul and Gene’s task rabbit. (WHY IS THIS PART OF YOUR WIKIPEDIA BIO ENTRY????)
Then you are hired to be the 4th member of the band.
Weird, man.
The title track is co-written by Gene and sounds very similar to his “Domino”. I quite enjoy both tunes.
A fine example of 80s glam.
