this is a testament to a great musician and former member of KISS. Luke from Manchester, EnglandKISS > Argent.Īrgent are too happy clappy religious, lyrically.To Phil form Niagara, WTF IS KISS's 'style'? They have consistently proven them selves over the decades, to be, at times, as ECLECTIC as other bands sometimes are! KISS did it and made it THEIR own! They still do it live & it goes OFF! Kudos to Bob Ezrin for his interpretation on this Argent classic.
Axeman from Melbourne, AustraliaIt just SHOWS to all, WHAT KISS, as musicians are REALLY capable of when they put their minds to it!.Gene from New York City, NyThat's wrong! Gene and Paul shared lead vocals on "I" off Music from The Elder in 1980.Gene from New York City, Nywrong, gene and Paul shared lead vocals on "I" off Music from the elder in 1980 as well.Talented keyboardist/composer and Argent mastermind Rod Argent was a former member of The Zombies.
