Track Mix-up

On my tape two of the the tracks are switched. I don't have it handy but I think they are "Hooligan" and "Shock me". The article doesn't mention this but I'm sure mine is not the only one.

PolyGram switcvhed running orders on many releases in subsequent issues, not just KISS, either. It's not uncommon, and it isn't really encyclopedic, either. 99.40.240.70 (talk) 06:17, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Love Bite

I'm removing the information about the lost-track "Love Bite" that is supposedly available on YouTube, I searched and was unable to find it. If someone has verifiable information about this track please provide reference. J04n (talk) 02:14, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The song is a demo, not a "lost track." Anyone who makes reference to it here is referring to a song Peter Criss co-wrote with Stan Penridge for possible inclusion on Love Gun, but the song was rejected in favor of Hooligan.99.40.240.70 (talk) 06:15, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Eddie Kramer-pianist?

I removed Eddie Kramer's piano credit, I searched and have been unable to verify it. If someone has verifiable information about his contribution please provide reference. J04n (talk) 02:45, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Try in KISS: Behind The Mask. It's defeinitely in there. 99.40.240.70 (talk) 06:16, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Genre

I find it quite alarming that the genre for this album is continuously listed simply as 'Rock'. Of course, 'Rock' is an umbrella term encompassing all sub-genres, but I really feel that the description should be more specific, as it is for other albums, including other Kiss albums. Listing it simply as 'Rock' could be misleading for someone not aware of the bands music. I propose that 'Hard Rock' be added to the genre description as I, and most rock fans, would agree that this best describes the sound of the album. Undoubtedly, there are elements of what could simply be described as 'Rock' on the album, so I do not wish for that to be removed from the article, just for 'Hard Rock' to be listed as the primary genre. - Daniel — Preceding unsigned comment added by Legodino (talk • contribs) 20:22, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you would like to have some leverage on what is placed in the genre slot then you will need to point us to some WP:Reliable sources that support your position. Even then, there might be other sources which say something else. We must always represent as best we can the balance of published thought about the album. So what do the critics and writers say about this album? Binksternet (talk) 01:31, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

2014 deluxe edition

On October 28 2014, Love gun was re-issued in a deluxe edition with a newly remastered version of the album and a second disc with demos, live cuts, and an interview with Gene Simmons. I think we should put this as a section in the article with stuff about the re-issue, Just like what they did with Destroyer Resurrected.

uncredited Katey Sagal

She's on background vocals on "Almost Human." I've read interviews with both her and Simmons to this effect. A quick listen and you'll hear her clearly. Not sure why - when the 2-Cd remaster came out that finally credited Kramer, etc., on the other instruments/vocals - that she wasn't listed. Might be some legal thingie. I don't have those old magazines now - but I'm sure some Kissphreniac probably can dig it up and add it to the article. Her memoir, Grace Notes: My Recollections might mention it. 50.111.45.222 (talk) 09:29, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
