10 Hidden Details You Never Noticed In Rock Songs

10. God Of Thunder - KISS

For as much as they may have seemed larger than life at the time, KISS' track record wasn't really that respectable when it came to raw record sales. It wasn't until Alive! blew everyone off their feet that these shock rockers finally managed to capture their circus like rock and roll energy onto the tape. Going into the recording of Destroyer though, things started to get a bit weirder.

Rather than being written by Gene Simmons, God of Thunder was composed by Paul Stanley only to be handed off to Simmons' original Demon persona. Before any riff comes in though, fans are treated to some strange sounds which sound like demonic chattering, almost like the God of Thunder is calling his subjects to attention. However, the owner of that sound is a lot more innocent than it might let on.

During the recording sessions for Destroyer, the band's producer Bob Ezrin was watching his son in between takes, which prompted him to use him for the opening of a song. Recorded off the floor, most of these noises are just the sounds of Ezrin's son laughing and making whatever funny noises he could think of to use in the final mix. Seeing how this translated to one of the most famous openings in KISS' catalog, it's safe to say that the kid was onto something.
