Great stuff Julien!

I think Paul’s original version AND “it’s my life” would have been a awesome “1-2 Punch” as songs/videos for KISS on the “non-Elder” album that in hindsight they probably SHOULD have made.

I think you should have made it clear whether Ace played the solo on the demo. It seems you might be indicating that the solo was added in NYC. If so, maybe Ace didn't do the solo
This was a YouTube comment. I left this part deliberately open. Some swear "don't be silly! 100% Ace," but I can't get past some of those "All American Man"-ish Kulick bends out of the Dick Wagner school of tricks...

Prolly rights issues if that was attempted. Glad you're enjoying them.

I listen on my Podcast app on my iPhone. I'm not very tech savvy.

This was fantastic! I wasn't so interested in the earlier songs so this was the first one I listened to. Very well made and presented. I then listened to the "Love Her All I Can" one too, very cool stuff (although those Coronel and Leejack solos are really grating 😬).

Very enjoyable, looking forward to future episodes.

Another great episode Julian! As someone who works in audio, it was especially interesting to hear about Ace’s home studio, the equipment involved and the process of tracking Deadly Weapons (which has always been one of my favorite unreleased songs).

Thanks for doing these, and I hope you continue to do so and that they continue to grow in listener numbers as I really enjoy them and think they deserve a substantial audience.

Deadly Weapons is an outstanding tune. Have to ask again, why was this never included on a official release, at worst it should have been on the box set.

Agreed.

Nice. I don't think I've heard Deadly Weapons before. It might've been better with Gene vocals though.

100% Kulick. There are some things in that as well, aside from the behind the fret hand string pull trick that Ace would never do.
