Burning Up With Fever #1

Gene Simmons

Recorded during preparations for the "Destroyer" album, this recording purportedly features Gene all of the instruments (other than drums - which would be by JR Smalling). This version appears to be a bit of a hatchet job of the circulating demo, ~0:56 in Burning Up With Fever #1, just hints of a cut 'n' paste from section later in the song where the solo begins... Having first recorded the song with KISS at Larrabee Studios in Los Angeles, Gene wasn't happy with the result. As a result the tempo is taken down and the song made less poppy and more menacing.
