A great example of 70s power chording layered over what quite possibly could be the most ridiculous semi-true story ever. The songs subject was inspired by an artist who apparently made it her lifes work to cast the penises and breasts of famous people. Dont believe me? Look it up. While there is no evidence that Simmons had his member immortalized in this fashion he was sufficiently inspired to write Plaster Caster. Ace Frehley provides some of the albums tastier solo work throughout the track
2. "Charisma" From Dynasty, 1979
Another classic Gene Simmons ego-fest, Charisma is the heir apparent to Paul Stanleys groupie anthem from the Destroyer album, Do You Love Me? While Stanleys tune seems to wistfully long for true love Simmons Charisma has no such illusions. The god of thunder asks us to consider which of his otherworldly talents cause us to fall prostrate before him in awe. At the time of Dynastys release disco was king and Kiss was busy cashing in with the albums big hit, I Was Made For Loving You. For those of us that were puzzled at the time by the direction Dynasty took, Charisma was as good as it got from a straight-up hard rock perspective. Its been said that Dynasty is a very good album, just not a very good Kiss album.
