Back in 2003, Kiss released, okay, the record company released a greatest hits compilation called The Millennium Collection: The Best of Kiss (1973-1979). It was the first of three volume set. Well, then in 2010, the label issued the ‘Icon’ Series with two volumes. The first volume is the exact same track list as ‘The Millennium Collection: The Best of Kiss’…well…it is and it sort of isn’t. 11 of the tracks in order are from Vol. 1 of The Millennium Collection while the last song from that collection is moved to kick off Disc 2. In its place is a live song from ‘Alive II’. Disc 2 kicks off with a song from ‘Dynasty’ and picks one song from every album after that up to ‘Pyscho Circus’…well that is if you exclude ‘Carnival of Souls’ and any of the live or compilation albums.

However, as the collector in me, I had to have ‘Icon 2’. Even though I have ‘Icon’ on CD and have the brand new, first time on vinyl version of Icon as Walmart has just released an Exclusive Silver Black Splatter vinyl. And since I collect everything vinyl for Kiss, I had to have it for my collection wouldn’t be complete. Okay, my collection is not complete anyway as I am missing a couple pieces that are extremely pricey, but that is for another time. Yes, I have a problem. Both ‘Icon’ and ‘Icon 2’ were released by Universal in 2010. Universal started vomiting greatest hits compilations for Kiss ever since they left the label. And I mean vomit…there are at least a dozen in about a 10 year span from around the world. It is nuts.
Let us go through this set and talk about the songs since we are here.
DISC 1:

The album kicks off with the first song of their debut, “Strutter”. The song was written by both Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons and over the years, this would be a rare experience as they would wind up writing songs by themselves. The music of the song was based off an old Gene song called “Stanley the Parrot” which was recorded even before there was a Wicked Lester. The song has a great opening drum fill by Peter and is an uptempo rock song that was inspired by all the sexy women in New York. There is a great bass riff by Gene why Ace belts out the solo. Paul sings the song and shows all the confidence a lead singer should show.
“Deuce” is up next and also from the debut album. The song was written and sung by Gene and he doesn’t even know what the song actually means. He just thought it sounded good…and he was right. The opening line, “Get Up and get your Grandma out of here” is the best opening line. This is one of those songs that live sounds so much cooler and has more grit, but this is still awesome. The guitar playing is fantastic and Ace plays a killer solo to end the song. Peter lays down some nice fills and gives the song a great fast tempo beat that drives the song along.
“Hotter Than Hell”, from the album of the same name, was written by Paul and another song he stole from somewhere else. This one is basically a re-write of the Free song “All Right Now” and you can hear that Free influence in it. The song is about picking up a woman in a bar and having your way and it turns out she’s married which burns you like the midday sun. Oh, good times. To keep with the Japanese theme, the song has Peter hitting a giant gong for added affect.
Things keep getting better with another classic Paul Stanley song called “C’mon and Love Me” which is from the album ‘Dressed to Kill’. This song also gives Paul his first solo on a Kiss song and it is worth noting as it is wonderful. The song has a rock and pop feel and is catchy as hell with the help of Gene on those backing vocals. I love the line “She’s a dancer, a romancer, I’m a Capricorn and she is a Cancer” because Paul is not a Capricorn he’s Aquarius. So, basically he is lying to us. The second single on the album and only charted to #…who am I kidding, it didn’t chart.
Then we get to the song that started it all for the band. The start to superstardom was because of “Rock & Roll All Nite” and the live version from the smash album ‘Alive!’. This is now their signature song and it is easy to see why. It is a pure rock anthem like no other. Now, it has been overplayed and I am truly sick of it and don’t care if I ever hear it again, but let’s be honest…it is a fantastic and amazing song to be played Live!!
“Detroit Rock City” is up next the album version from ‘Destroyer’ with the exception of the bleed into ‘King of the Night Time World’. The song was so different than anything they had done prior, musically and lyrically. They took a chance shaking things up a bit and it worked. The single version pretty much cuts out the opening bit of the boy getting in the car and all the car parts as well as the crash. The song does mention Detroit, but is really about a young fan that is killed why he was on his way to a Kiss concert. The story is based off an actual event that occurred outside a Kiss concert in Charlotte where a fan was hit by a car and killed outside the arena. Knowing it is based a real life event adds a little extra to the impact of the song.
Of course they are going to have “Beth” , also from ‘Destroyer’, which became one of the band’s biggest hits to date. It went all the way to #7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was sung by Peter Criss. The song was one Peter had written prior to Kiss and written with guitarist Stan Penridge. The song is a ballad and played on piano by Bob Ezrin, with full backing orchestration by the New York Philharmonic. The song originally had the line “Beck what can I do” after the girlfriend of one of Peter’s bandmates in the band Chelsea. Of course, they changed to Beth which seem to work. The song was softly played and softly sung and was simply a beautiful song that was totally out of left field for the band up to this point.
Now after the success of “Beth”, Peter was given another ballad to sing and I am sure it was in hopes of repeating that magic. This song, “Hard Luck Woman” from ‘Rock And Roll Over’, was written by Paul and Paul had written so Rod Stewart could sing and when listening to the track, I could hear Rod singing this. Paul was talked in to giving it to Peter and although the song did do as well as “Beth”, it still gave the band another Top 20 hit. It is mostly acoustic and Peter does a great job and delivers a sweet song. I also think Peter’s vocals fit the song as they give it some grit and an extra added layer of emotion. A nice change of pace on an album that has a lot of rock songs…this maybe should’ve been placed earlier to break things up a bit more but who am I to say anything.
“Calling Dr. Love” is the first of four Gene songs on the ‘Rock And Roll Over’. The song stems from a Gene song called “Bad Bad Lovin’” which you can hear in many forms on Gene Simmons ‘The Vault’ (click links below). It is a heavy song and Gene sounds as menacing as ever. This is one of his signature songs. Interesting to note, on the backing vocals, you can hear Katy Sagal from Married With Children and Sons of Anarchy. Of course she wasn’t famous at this point.
Now we get ot one of the band’s most iconic songs, “Love Gun” from the album of the same name. That barrage of drum hits by Peter are so recognizable that the second you hear, you know what you are getting. When Peter does that barrage towards the end and then Ace comes in with a mini solo, it is magical. If the bass sounds a little different, that is because Paul handles those duties. The song is still played live today and at almost every show since its release. Paul has stated that the song was inspired by “The Hunter” by Booker T. & the MG’s but I believe performed by Albert King. The song does mention a “love gun”.
The next song was the first single off Love Gun’, “Christine Sixteen”. Now this song wouldn’t fly today as it is an older man going after a much younger woman at only 16. But at the time, no one thought anything about it. Heck, they did this before with “Goin’ Blind’ off the ‘Hotter Than Hell’ album. There is a cool piano riff in the song which was done by Eddie Kramer. It is a fun, upbeat track and a favorite of mine for Gene. A cool, fun fact about the song, the demo was done with Gene and two unknown artist at the time by the name of Eddie and Alex Van Halen. They also did the demo for “Got Love For Sale” and you can hear those demos on Gene Simmons ‘The Vault”.
Now, here is the thing. The label says the final song is “Shout It Out Loud”(Live) and I was assuming it is going to be from Alive! II, but it is not. It actually is from the version on the ‘Greatest Kiss’ CD. It was recorded at Tiger Stadium in Detroit, MI on June 28, 1996 and was the show opener. It had a ton of explosions and fireworks and you hear every last pop. It’s not a bad recording. This is the only change from the Single Disc Edition of ‘Icon’ and the The Millennium Collection: The Best of Kiss (1973-1979) which had the final song as “I Was Made For Lovin’ You” which was pushed to open Disc 2.
DISC 2:

Then we jump past Alive II and the solo albums all the way to ‘Dynasty’. The opening track to this disc and first single from ‘Dynasty’ was “I Was Made For Lovin’ You”. The song was written by Paul Stanley, Vini Poncia and the great Desmond Child makes his first of many appears with the band (only one on this album). The story goes that Disco was really big at the time and the record company wanted the band to be a little more commercial. Paul thought any idiot could write a disco song and a bet was made and a few hours later, the song was written and the Paul proved his point. The song went to #11 on the Billboard Hot 100. And as I mentioned earlier, the result was people thought this was a disco album. Wrong!! This song did have every trapping of a disco song, the tempo, the beat, the pop sound, the disco sound effects…I mean it was disco…but it was good and it was catchy and they still play it, but I still don’t know if I can give it full marks. Now on a side note, this is Gene’s least favorite song (and Peter and Ace hate it too).
“Shandi” was a massive hit in Australia going to #5, but in the U.S. didn’t even break the Top 40 charts. Although a hit in several countries around the world, Kiss couldn’t catch a break in the U.S. The song was written by Paul Stanley and Vini Poncia and was actually inspired by “4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)” by Bruce Springsteen, but not his version. It was the cover version done by The Hollies. Again, it sounds nothing like Kiss. It is tame and so pop almost to a point of pure cheese. There is no sign of Ace’s guitar sound to be found anywhere as it is Paul on guitar. However, I do love this song and one of the cooler tracks from ‘Unmasked’.
“A World Without Heroes” was written by Paul Stanley and his demo was called “Every Little Bit of Your Heart”. When they re-worked it for the album, Lou Reed and Gene stepped in and changed up some of the lyrics and helped get it to its final version. This is a ballad, plain and simple. Actually sung by Gene and a song the band has been known to play in their acoustic sets. Sadly, no Ace on this song as lead guitar is done by Paul. The song is very dark and a little morose while at the same time quite beautiful. Another song that really sounds nothing like a Kiss song. It did go to #57 on the Billboard charts.
“I Love it Loud” is up next and MTV played it a lot and every time it came on it was event TV for me. I actually remember having our little black & white TV in the dining room on at dinner one night because I knew the song was coming on. When it did, I stoped eating to watch and made everyone else watch it too. Ace was in the video and I thought Kiss was chugging along just fine. Plus, I loved seeing the Giant Tank stage and Eric was slamming away on those drums. The song was written by Gene Simmons and Vinnie Vincent and it was our first glimpse in to Vinnie as a song writer and it was awesome. This was such a heavy metal track and it was the Demon rejuvenated. A massive anthem despite the simple, somewhat stupid lyrics. I love the fade out at the end to then come back again for a few more pointless seconds. Not sure the need, but as a kid, I thought it was cool.
“Lick It Up” is the band’s first single and first video without make-up and the song only went to #66. It opens with a nice little riff and a little scream from Paul. Paul’s second song on the album and it was meant for the radio. This is a pure 80’s, melodic rock song and no wonder it still gets played a lot. The video was so 80’s as well. Real cheesy and had the band in a post-apocalyptic world. It is a little comical watching it now. The song, however, is about a guy trying to talk his girlfriend in to doing the nasty so doesn’t really fit with the video.
And then Paul shows off with a little “Oooh Oooh Oooh” that I’m not sure he could not hit today as it is so high, but it is a perfect way to kick off the song “Heaven’s On Fire” which is another Paul and Desmond song and the first single off ‘Animalize’ The song is another rocker and a very typical 80’s sounding song. It was all over MTV and helped propel the album to Platinum status. On radio, it didn’t fare as well not breaking the Top 40 and hanging around #49. The song is one of the few 80’s song to actually get occasionally played live after they went back to make-up which is cool. Now sadly, this was the only video that contains Mark as he was gone before anything else was done, but at least we have this to remember him by.
The only single off ‘Asylum’ was the next song called “Tears Are Falling” which was written by only Paul Stanley. And an interesting note, this is the last solo writing credit Paul has until his solo album in 2006…how’s that for trivia. It was so much just Paul that he plays the bass on it as well…no Gene. The song just missed the Top 40 by going to #51 on the Hot 100 Chart which for Kiss, that is pretty good. Now, on MTV this song was played way more than the radio because it was a power ballad and fit the mold MTV was trying to fit. The song is sugary sweet to a point of being a parody of the power ballad movement. It is a great song, don’t get me wrong, but doesn’t hold up as well. Plus, Paul can’t sing this way any more as it is sung too high.
The first track and single off ‘Crazy Nights’ was “Crazy, Crazy Nights” written by Paul Stanley and Adam Mitchell. It was a different opening track. It was upbeat, kind of pop sounding yet anthemic at the same time. Paul didn’t sing so much as speak the verses and is quite cheesy. It was the biggest hit the band had ever had in the UK reaching #4, but only #64 in the US which tells me a lot about the UK’s taste (kidding). Is it a good song, no not really. Is it a fun song, yeah, it is fun.
Then we get the first single off ‘the album ‘Hot in the Shade’ and one of the very few Kiss song I truly despise and that is “Hide Your Heart” written by Paul, Desmond Child and Holly Knight. After the success Desmond Child had with “Livin’ On a Prayer’ with Bon Jovi, Paul Stanley wanted to write a song in that same vein. Instead of Tommy and Gina, we get a cheap knock-off version of Johnny and Rosa. The problem with their relationship wasn’t the hardships of life, but that Rosa had a boyfriend named Tito who sounds like a gang leader in the shady part of town. Already, we know Rosa has bad taste in men. The story doesn’t end well like Tommy and Gina did. Basically this was a poor man’s version of “Livin’ on a Prayer” and the storyline sucked and was a total rip-off. It was too formulaic and Kiss too busy trying to chase trends at the time instead of being a leader and this was a perfect example of the trash that came out as a result.
Then we get to “God Gave Rock And Roll To You II” which is a cover of the Argent song written by Russ Ballard with heavy lyric changes by Paul, Gene and Bob. The song is the first good rock anthem Kiss has done in years and the first in 10 years to have a co-lead vocals with both Gene and Paul. This was from the Bill & Ted Bogus Journey movie and soundtrack. You can read all about it in the prior post and check it out at the link at the bottom as I don’t want to repeat myself too much on this one. Great track from ‘Revenge’.
From ‘Kiss Alive III’, we get another ‘Revenge’ track with “Domino”. Gene sounds great and Bruce slays on the guitar. It is another corny Gene tune lyrically, but musically it is stellar. Gene’s songs from Revenge were some of his best in years.
The final track is the track, “Psycho Circus” from the album of the same name. The song opens with a carnival tune which was actually written for the album ‘Carnival of Souls’ but never used. If you are interested, the demo for the song is on Gene Simmons ‘The Vault’. The rest of the song was written by Paul Stanley and Curt Cuomo (who will show up in another review down the road). The song was written specifically with the Psycho Circus theme and as the opening track. The band was missing the BIG song to open the album and Paul delivered. It worked so well it has been used as a great opening track for the live shows. It might be one of my all time favorite Paul songs he has ever done. It is hard and heavy and kicks some major ass. It has a dark quality to it that really makes it stand out. There is a break near the end where Paul speaks sing some of the lyrics in a very menacing style that sounds cool. It is a beast of a song and musically has some stellar musicians. On drums is the great Kevin Valentine, the lead guitarists is some guy named Tommy Thayer, bass is Bruce Kulick and then you have Paul. Cool that it has 2 Kiss members not in the band at that time.
And there you have it. Icon 2 is a 2 CD set with 24 songs and not a horrible compilation. It is better than the 1 disc version and will give you a better idea of what Kiss is all about. I like they have a song from The Elder as that is always a treat. So, skip the single disc version and get this one if you need to get one. But still Gold is one of the best compilations that has come out so get that instead. These things are money grabs from the label and I doubt Kiss has much of anything to do with these so know that going in to it. There are no liner notes and the packaging is pretty basic. They make these so they will make more money. My Overall Score is 2.5 out of 5.0 as it is a decent enough set.

And the bottom of the barrel is achieved! I’m glad these have rather dried up by comparison in recent years.

I think the reason why “Crazy Nights” did so well in the UK was because it was a lot better than some of the other music which was going round the charts at the time.
