Iron Lizards singer / guitar player Elio on the cover:
“When I asked the other members of the band what KISS suggests to them, they informed me they don’t truly appreciate KISS, they simply wish to be on the collection to get some chicks! Ha ha, more seriously – I found KISS a while back, with a metalhead friend who understood I truly dig ’70s acid rock. He informed me, you ought to examine ‘em out, you’ll truly dig it.
I was believing, no I don’t believe so, I just understood ‘I Was Made For Lovin’ You’ and just saw a number of images of them on sheet music guitar books and things… He offered me the 2CDs, Greatest Hits collection, and informed me to have a look at the very first one with the very first albums. I was actually blown away, It was love at very first sight! I keep in mind that tunes like ‘Deuce’, ‘Strutter’, ‘Cold Gin’, ‘She’ to name a few truly made an effect on me at that time. Since then I purchased all the 6 very first albums on LP and I listen to them frequently, specifically the very first 3 albums. It’s not a surprise we did a cover of ‘Cold Gin’. I truly enjoy that tune, because the very first time I examined them out!
For this cover, we sped it up a bit and included a Stooges / Motörhead ambiance to it. I likewise included guitar solos to make it much more enjoyable to listen to!”
