Prime Cuts: Kiss
"DOMINO" (Revenge, 1992)
SIMMONS: This song started out with a bass lick, much as "Deuce" did. Once I had the meter down, I started writing rhyming words, but without a melody—so it was almost a rap. Then I talked the song through with the lick, and the melody just came naturally. The melody that came to me was the bass lick, so I just shadowed my melody with the lick on guitar. The spoken part sort of reminds me of "Christine Sixteen."
"TOUGH LOVE" (Revenge, 1992)
STANLEY: I wrote that with Bruce [Kulick] and Bob Ezrin. I alternated between a two-piece Les Paul maple-top reissue—which can be a good substitute for a ’58, ’59 or ’60—and a Steinberger, which recorded fabulously through a Marshall. The Steinberger was the only guitar that really held its tuning well when dropped down a whole step to D—probably because it's made of graphite. I've always been a fan of hearing every string when you play a chord, and on this album my sound is very big and clear—the attack is great.
