The final year of the 1980s, when Kiss returned to its roots with an old-school, blue-collar rock album recorded in a simple demo studio: Hot in the Shade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recordings for this album actually started much earlier, as often happened with Kiss. In late 1988 and early 1989, Gene Simmons had already begun working on demos with Tommy Thayer and the other members of Black 'n Blue, including the first track on this CD, the excellent Chrome Heart. He also worked with the members of Silent Rage, a band Gene started supporting in late 1988.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis was a highly creative period for Gene, something clearly reflected both on the album and in these outstanding sessions featuring material that, for reasons difficult to understand, never made it onto the final release. Highlights include strong songs such as Suspicious, The Hunger, Street Legal, and Something Wicked This Way Comes. The demo versions of the hit single Hide Your Heart are also included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe absolute highlight of this CD is two deeply personal demos by the much-loved drummer Eric Carr, who sadly passed away far too young.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1. Chrome Heart\u003cbr\u003eA song that was planned for the album.\u003cbr\u003eThis Simmons \/ Howard Rice version was first recorded as a demo in 1983. By accident, it ended up on a demo cassette given to the British band HEAVY PETTIN while Gene Simmons was filming Runaway.\u003cbr\u003eAccording to Gene Simmons, this version was recorded after the Crazy Nights album and was considered for the next album, Hot In The Shade (HITS).\u003cbr\u003eThe 1988 demo is also credited to Bruce Kulick. It reused the title and included a guitar riff Bruce brought to Gene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.Betrayed\u003cbr\u003eA rough demo version that sounds very similar to the final album version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3. Hide Your Heart (Take 1)\u003cbr\u003e4. Hide Your Heart (Take 2)\u003cbr\u003eTwo slightly different versions of the album’s lead single.\u003cbr\u003eThe song was first written in 1987 for Who Dares Wins which was the original album title for the Crazy Nights album. It was tested in a live environment during Paul Stanley’s solo tour in early 1989 and then re-recorded for HITS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5. Have Mercy\u003cbr\u003eGene Simmons offered many songs for the album, including this one.\u003cbr\u003eIt was not included on the album, but a different version later appeared on Monster under the title Shout Mercy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6. Ain’t That Peculiar\u003cbr\u003e7. Little Caesar\u003cbr\u003eAin’t That Peculiar was the original song written by Eric Carr for the album.\u003cbr\u003eGene Simmons did not like the song’s flow, so he changed the title to Little Caesar.\u003cbr\u003eAin’t That Peculiar is an early version of Little Caesar and is based on Marvin Gaye’s song of the same name. This demo is a heavy metal-style cover of the Marvin Gaye recording.\u003cbr\u003eIt was recorded in spring 1989 at Fortress Studios in Hollywood, California.\u003cbr\u003eMusicians: \u003cbr\u003e* Eric Carr: drums, bass, lead vocals \u003cbr\u003e*Bruce Kulick: guitar\u003cbr\u003eThe recording was engineered by Pat Regan.\u003cbr\u003eThe alternative version of Little Caesar has completely different lyrics and vocal melodies. Eric Carr sings lead vocals and plays bass, while Bruce Kulick adds strong rock guitar riffs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e8. Rain Keeps Fallin’\u003cbr\u003eAnother strong Gene Simmons song that did not make the album.\u003cbr\u003eThis version is different from the one later recorded during the Psycho Circus sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e9.The Hunger\u003cbr\u003eThis song was recorded on New Year’s Eve 1986 in Atlanta, Georgia.\u003cbr\u003eEric Carr and Bruce Kulick worked on the recording, and it may have been considered for the Crazy Nights album.\u003cbr\u003eGene often reused older demos when preparing songs for new albums, so the track returned again in 1989.\u003cbr\u003eThis demo is the original recording. Since Hot In The Shade used many updated demo songs, it is possible that this version was also planned for the album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e10. The Street Giveth And The Street Taketh Away\u003cbr\u003eLike Betrayed, this is a rough but mostly complete demo version of the final album track.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11. Something Wicked This Way Comes\u003cbr\u003e12. Something Wicked This Way Comes (Final Version)\u003cbr\u003eThis excellent song was seriously considered for the Hot In The Shade album.\u003cbr\u003eIt was removed at the last minute, but still appeared in promotional track lists.\u003cbr\u003eThe title comes from Ray Bradbury’s Gothic novel Something Wicked This Way Comes, about a dark carnival led by the mysterious Mr. Dark.\u003cbr\u003eThe song was recorded with Br\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003euce Kulick on lead guitar.\u003cbr\u003eThe final version removed much of the repeated parts found in the demo.\u003cbr\u003eIt was recorded in 1988 at Artisan Sound Recorders Studio C with engineer Mikey Davis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e13. Street Legal\u003cbr\u003eAnother strong candidate for the Hot In The Shade album.\u003cbr\u003eThe song was later recorded by Doro, but again removed from the final tracklisting, for Doro’s solo album in 1990.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e14. Promise The Moon\u003cbr\u003eThis demo is based on a 1970s song called Sentimental Fool, written by Gene Simmons and Bob Kulick.\u003cbr\u003eLater, while Gene was producing BLACK ’N BLUE, he recorded a new demo using members of the band.\u003cbr\u003eGene Simmons sings lead vocals on this version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e15. (She’s Got Me) Paralyzed\u003cbr\u003eRecorded at Pat Regan’s Fortress Studios in Los Angeles.\u003cbr\u003eThe song almost appeared on the Hot In The Shade album.\u003cbr\u003eThis demo features: \u003cbr\u003e*Gene Simmons: guitar and bass \u003cbr\u003e* Bob Ezrin: background vocals\u003cbr\u003eYou can hear both Gene Simmons and Bob Ezrin singing backing vocals.\u003cbr\u003eLater, more work was done on the song for the 1992 album Revenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e16.Suspicious\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in late 1987 and later reused for the Hot In The Shade album.\u003cbr\u003eThis is the 1989 demo version with Gene Simmons on lead vocals.\u003cbr\u003eThe song also appeared on BLACK ’N BLUE’s 1988 album In Heat.\u003cbr\u003eYou can clearly hear Jaime St. James singing backing vocals. This suggests it may be the original BLACK ’N BLUE demo with Gene’s lead vocal added later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e17. Piece Of My Heart\u003cbr\u003eAlso known as All You Want Is A Piece Of My Heart.\u003cbr\u003eThis demo features Gene Simmons on vocals and was written together with Adam Mitchell.\u003cbr\u003eThe song also includes BLACK ’N BLUE guitarist Tommy Thayer on guitar and backing Vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eENJOY!!!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ZODIAC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53124249977148,"sku":null,"price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/5801\/7084\/files\/248005.jpg?v=1781140961","url":"https:\/\/worldmusiclover.com\/es\/products\/kiss-the-complete-hot-in-the-shade-sessions-1989-1cd","provider":"WORLD MUSIC LOVER","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
