“You know the rules and you’re gonna play”
If I was going to do an “all KISS songs ranked” type post, I reckon I’d have Bang Bang You higher on the list than most. There are a few reasons for this… One: It’s an endearingly dumb rock song about shagging. Two: I’m a sucker for 80s KISS (Paul Stanley’s voice is great and Bruce Kulick’s guitar work is always tasty). Three: It’s a song I love more since learning how to play it. I have a real thing about rock songs that use capos and Paul Stanley is a regular capo user. He uses one here, on the 2nd fret, and I love playing it. Four: it’s become my go-to song for testing out music gear down at the guitar shop. If I don’t enjoy playing Bang Bang You on a guitar or amp it doesn’t get bought. Simple as that. That’s the main reasons anyway, but I could probably reel off another… I dunno… five, six, seven, eight.
HEAVY METAL OVERLOAD

I agree this one is umm catchy lol…that version on the Ritz release is better than the studio version as it sounds musically like Heart! Good on you Scott pulling this one out of the fire here…

Yes, that’s a great point. I loved it even more after hearing the Ritz version. And there’s a live version on the KISSology sets that I really enjoyed as well. I don’t mind the studio sound at all but it is better live for sure.

That is typical 80s KISS.

Not sure this would make a Best of Kiss song list, but it could make a worst song list for me. When I listen to this one I need some wine to go with the cheesiness of it.
