No KISS Reunion During the Farewell Tour
Many KISS fans were curious to see if there would be a reunion of the classic lineup during the farewell tour. Last month, Paul Stanley was very frank in explaining why including Ace Frehley and Peter Criss in the final KISS show "doesn't make sense."
He told Ultimate Classic Rock, "As important as the original lineup was, I can say that we wouldn't be here today if not for them, and we wouldn't be here today with them," said Stanley. He added a further dig at Frehley and Criss saying, "It doesn't make sense to allow anybody to come in and call shots.
In June, Gene Simmons told Linea Rock said Frehley and Criss were offered opportunities to take part in the tour for either encores or select shows. However, Simmons said, " ... They both said no. So, I don't know what to say about that."
In the same interview, Simmons also alludes to how newer fans of KISS may not even know who Frehley and Criss are. This seems like a stretch, but such is the case for the complicated relationships of KISS.
KISS released Dynasty on May 23, 1979. At the time, the album got a lot of heat from fans for its heavy disco influence.
However, as the years have passed, it’s hard to deny some of the disco earworms on this album. In honor of its release, here are five classic rock disco tracks we all love.
KISS - “I Was Made For Loving You”
This ridiculously catchy track features a songwriting credit from Desmond Child, who also helped co-write massive hits for Aerosmith (“Angel,” “Dude (Looks Like A Lady)”), Bon Jovi (“Living On A Prayer,” “Bad Medicine”) and Joan Jett & the Blackhearts (“I Hate Myself For Loving You”.)
Blondie - “Heart of Glass”
This song was controversial for two reasons: Blondie was a punk band and because the song features the phrase “pain in the ass,” which made some radio stations nervous to play it. What a simpler time!
Pink Floyd - “Run Like Hell”
While not an overt dive into disco, you have to admit that this track from The Wall is definitely disco-influenced, at the very least. (And it’s just such a killer groove.)
The Rolling Stones - “Miss You”
Play “Miss You” at any wedding, and I guarantee the dance floor will be immediately packed. Plus, this might be the hookiest hook Mick Jagger and Keith Richards ever wrote.
Rod Stewart - “Da Ya Think I’m Sexy?”
A list about classic rock disco tracks just isn’t complete without this Rod Stewart gem. We’ve all danced to it in front of our bedroom mirrors. We’ve all cranked it while in the car. And if you say you haven’t, you’re either a liar or just don’t know how to live.
