Another great KISS classic!
Many consider this album to be the last great KISS album. The mighty KISS Love Gun. It is certainly one of my top favorites, that's for sure. The album has a slight retro feel to it, a classic Fifties/Sixties vibe permeates throughout it, in my opinion. Especially on songs like Christine Sixteen, Tomorrow & Tonight, Hooligan, and of course the cover song of The Crystals', Then She Kissed Me. And, every song on the album is pretty much rock solid. My favorites would have to start with the fabulous Shock Me by Ace Frehley. This song has the distinction of being the very first time that Ace has ever sung a song on any KISS album. He does a really good job doing it too, but the best part is, of course, his amazing guitar solo! Ace comes through and delivers the goods once again. Another strong song on the album is the title track, Love Gun, which is sung by Paul Stanley who does an awesome job as always, and making the song stand out even better is yet another excellent guitar solo by Spaceman Frehley. Still yet another favorite of mine is what I like to call God of Thunder Part 2, the great Almost Human, where Gene Simmons once again unleashes his inner Demon and growls, "I'm very hungry, and you're what I'm thinking of. Oh, Baby, Baby. . . So hungry for your loooove!" Ha! You gotta' love those crazy lyrics. Gene delivers two more great classics in the songs, Plaster Caster, and Got Love For Sale. Let's not forget the opener, I Stole Your Love by Paul Stanley. It's a cool little ditty sung with the usual zest and fervor by the Starchild we have all come to know and love. Well, that about covers it. All in all, It's a great album that really needs to be in your collection.


Still going strong after 35 years
I was lucky enough to see all of the original members in 1978 on the Dynasty tour. This band has been overlooked by the rock-n-roll hall of fame for the last 10 years. You can't say enough about this band.

World's worst band ever
What a punk. Your condition's red, you can't get to bed. I am who you have to fear. World's worst review ever. Brains in a bottle. Your observation's correct, I'm someone you can't neglect. Halloween forever, what if halloween was forever? You buy the magazine, in between the lines, you see my face, you read my name. What a punk. Public enemy number one, always be number one. And you can have me for one price, baby. Halloween forever. You must have heard of my fame. Brains in a bottle. What a punk. You know you need me, I know you want me. World's worst. Ever. I'm a living cross-your-heart man. World's worst. What if? You've got to have me, can't live without me. What a punk.

The original KISS' lineup's last flawless masterpiece 30 plus years on

Love Gun was the band's sixth studio album in a 3-year period, an amazingly prolific output considering how many bands today release only one album during the same period. KISS' sixth studio album (eighth overall) entitled Love Gun was released in June of 1977. Like the previous album, KISS once again used producer Eddie Kramer this time they would co-produce.
Love Gun was the first KISS album to have all four members have a lead vocal.
Rhythm guitarist/singer Paul Stanley sang the killer opening "I Stole Your Love", the anthemic first side ender "Tomorrow and Tonight", the rocking start to Side 2 which was Love Gun's title cut and the closing rocking cover of The Crystals' "Then He Kissed Me" retitled as "Then She Kissed Me" and KISS' version was much better than the original turning a sappy song into a great rocker with great solos from lead guitarist Ace Frehley whom made his vocal debut on the killer rocker "Shock Me".
Bass player Gene Simmons sang the hit "Christine Sixteen", the rocking "Got Love For Sale", the heavy "Almost Human" and the rocker "Plaster Caster".
Drummer Peter Criss sang another great rocker with "Hooligan" on this album.
I first got this album on cassette in December of 1988 and upgraded to CD in July of 1993 but the sound was eh and some of the tracks had a few seconds cut off from the ending on the song. The 1997 remaster with the original artwork is the definitive version of Love Gun and sounds superb.
Love Gun's not only when the band was at the height of their success but also when tensions were started to show in their armor. This album was once again a Platinum seller which hit #4 on the album charts.
This album is highly recommended!.


kiss ,s love gun!!
that year kiss mania was in full swing. kiss released love gun in the summer of 1977. kiss,s live show that year was also amazing. i think love gun is one of the top ten best kiss albums ever. one of the great things about kiss,s music is that it is fairly simple but very entertaining!!unfortuneately this is the last effort in the 70,s that all the original members played on as a group effort. by the dynasty album in 1979 peter criss was losing interest in kiss and did not play drums on the dynasty album. that being said, love gun was a pretty solid record. i think the great cuts are;shock me,christine sixteen,tommorow and tonight,love gun,plaster caster,hooligan and almost human!!kiss also had great album covers and love gun is one of the best!!!.
