Love Gun Cover

KISS was one of the first rock bands I ever listened to and I can proudly say that I’m a lifelong fan, or member of the KISS army, as the fans like to call themselves. The band’s stage show and Ace Frehley’s guitar solos fueled my desire to become an electric lead guitarist as an 11-year-old and I still consider KISS to be one of my major influences.

​“Love Gun” is one of my favorite KISS songs. It was originally released in 1977 on the album with the same name, and has been a staple in KISS setlists since then. As a huge fan of Michael Jackson and producer Quincy Jones, I wanted to use “The Way You Make Me Feel” as the foundation for this cover, imagining what the song could’ve sounded like, if it came out in 1987, ten years later.
