ロックが夢に溢れていた時代。1970年代はフラワームーブメントの名残りがありつつ、ハードロックやプログレが熱かった時代だと思う。勿論この時代に流行り始めたグラムロックもクールだと思うが、個人的にはハードロックやパンクの魂丸出しな所が好きなので、デコラティブ一辺倒だとToo much過ぎ&ワンパターンで飽きてしまうの。 その点、このキッスは見かけはド派手なのだが音はバラエティに富み、時代によっては、王道ハードロックからポップやヘヴィメタルになったり変幻自在…飽きさせない強者なの。 特に1970年代は、ブラックソウルやディスコが人気が出て来たこともあり、80年代のディスコブームへ続く道筋ができて上がって来た時代だ。 そのディスコをハードロックと混合させたものが、このKISSのこの曲【I Was Made For Lovin’…

Dr. J's Desert Island Albums: The Living Rock and Roll Circus with Kiss

The concept of desert island records and songs has become a fascinating cultural phenomenon, reflecting the profound impact that music can have on our lives. The idea stems from the hypothetical scenario of being stranded on a deserted island with only a limited selection of albums or songs. In this isolated setting, individuals are forced to choose a handful of musical companions that would…

This is so interesting! I love the ending of Black Diamond, and this description is perfect. The funniest thing regarding that from me personally is that I have a Kiss playlist I jog to, and somehow Black Diamond plays when I’m on my up hill run home, and it really mirrors how my body feels on that last leg, with my body groaning and thighs are burning.

ETA: Just realised this is Eric singing and was apparently his debut lead vocal for Kiss. Damn his voice is good! I really need more of it. I wish he’d sung all the songs with ESP. A solo album from him would be pretty fucking amazing.

Out on the Streets for the Glory

All For the Glory is one of those songs on Sonic Boom (2009) that is a little more cleverly linked to previous, mostly clearly older Kiss klassiks. To this end, I'd just boldly suggest that All for the Glory has a fundamental core in common with Black Diamond from Kiss' Debut album (1974) .

I think most readers here should be familiar with the ending of Black Diamond on the debut album. You know, the one that sounds like the tonal equivalent of a melting chocolate-caramel bar that slowly and ever-so-slowly drips out of a even slower-moving, overweight person's back pocket, who ends up sitting on it, like in slow motion, and until ultimately not much more than a flat, unidentifiable mass remains.

I have to tell you I'm not at all concerned with this passage (1) , but a whole lot more with this suffering, endlessly drawn-out guitar solo drama that wraps itself around the slowed-down main riff, right before this chocolate-caramel meltdown.

And this is precisely where All for the Glory picks up, and most of all, builds on on its own. With a feel of that Black Diamond solo drama and the attitude of a sports motivation trainer. Which seriously tempts me to come up with another camparison, this time one from the world of sports movies:

If Black Diamond is Rocky, then All For the Glory is Rocky III, oder maybe even Rocky IV.

And if you briefly consider that the original Rocky movie was a sensitive love story and underdog sports and social drama with one of the most culturally memorable soundtracks of the 70s, and Rocky IV on the other hand an over-stylized 80s video clip montage with a good shot of revenge movie fighting action with wealthy bodybuilders, and a Cold War focus on top of that, these two films could hardly be more different in all their devices and messages. They both work quite well independently of each other, but still remain linked to the central subject of an somehow likeable soul who, armed with more heart than brains, simply refuses to give up, and keeps fighting.

Except for the one time when Rocky gets knocked out by Clubber Lang, to which the chocolate melting sequence from Black Diamond would fit perfectly on the other hand.

But wait a minute, that happened in Rocky III.

Side Note:

(1) I just love the comparison and felt the need to smuggle it in somehow.

When everything is quiet, its louder than a scream. What is this thing inside of me? What does it need? What does it mean?
