It might seem odd to have to define what exactly constitutes a cover version and what does not but as we’ll see later in this and future articles, some songs such as ‘Rock and Roll Hell’, ‘Little Caesar’ and ‘All For the Love of Rock and Roll’ blur the lines between a cover version and an original song.īy that definition, let’s look at the covers that Kiss have recorded and released. I define a cover version as recording or playing a song by another songwriter or band that they had previously written and/or recorded themselves. Have you ever tracked down all the original artists versions of these songs?īut first, let’s define what a cover version is. The obvious ones spring to mind – ‘Kissin’ Time’, ‘Then She Kissed Me’, ‘New York Groove’, ‘2000 Man’ etc but there’s loads more. There’s some good listening to be had here and you may be surprised by some of them. No, in this episode of UNDISCOVERED KISSTORY, we’re going to sit back and listen to the original versions of all the songs that Kiss have covered on their records.

Eric was definitely upset with the decision, and when Eric was then released from hospital and we were doing the 'God Gave Rock and Roll to You' video, Eric asked if he could be a part of the video which we obliged to. We sat down with Eric and told him that the band still had to move forward, which is when we then recruited Eric Singer and told Eric Carr he had been replaced. Unfortunately, the cancer spread and we then knew he only had a matter of months to live.
